Matinas BioPharma (MTNB) announced significant clinical results for MAT2203, an oral formulation of amphotericin B, at the 33rd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID). Dr. Marisa H. Miceli presented a compassionate use case where MAT2203 effectively treated a patient with a rare, resistant fungal infection (Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) after traditional IV treatment led to severe kidney toxicity. The patient showed substantial clinical improvement, tolerated MAT2203 well over six months, and completed therapy with no renal adverse effects. This success highlights MAT2203's potential as a safer, outpatient alternative for patients requiring long-term antifungal treatment. Matinas is preparing for Phase 3 trials with the FDA to further evaluate MAT2203's efficacy for invasive fungal infections, though it remains unapproved globally.
