PHAXIAM Therapeutics presents an ambitious development strategy to take advantage of the rapidly evolving Phages therapy area
PHAXIAM Therapeutics unveiled its strategic development plan focusing on phage therapy during a webinar titled 'Evolving strategic context for phages, Introducing new opportunities.' The company aims to leverage two complementary approaches: Phages Therapy Medical Product (PTMP) and Individualized Phages Therapy (IPT). Through IPT expansion in Europe, PHAXIAM targets revenues of €20M by 2027 and €100M by 2030. The PTMP model, including AAC and potential conditional market approval for Prosthetic Joint Infections, could generate €8M by 2027 and €100M by 2030. The company projects achieving operating profitability and positive free cash flow by 2027.

Insights
The strategic pivot towards dual-model phage therapy presents significant market potential but carries execution risks. The company's projection of reaching
The path to profitability by 2027 faces several challenges:
- Significant capital requirements for clinical development
- Regulatory uncertainties in different European markets
- Need for rapid commercial infrastructure scaling
- Competition from other emerging phage therapy players
While the EMA's openness to individualized treatments provides a faster route to market, achieving the projected revenue ramp will require flawless execution and substantial working capital.
The dual-pathway strategy leveraging both standardized (PTMP) and individualized (IPT) phage therapies addresses a critical market need in antimicrobial resistance. The GLORIA study focusing on Prosthetic Joint Infections represents a strategic choice, targeting a high-unmet need area where conventional antibiotics often fail.
The EMA's acceptance of magistral preparations for individualized treatments significantly de-risks the near-term commercialization pathway. This regulatory flexibility, combined with growing physician demand and increasing antimicrobial resistance, creates favorable market conditions. However, success will depend on:
- Building a robust phage library
- Establishing rapid bacterial identification and phage matching capabilities
- Developing scalable manufacturing processes
- Generating compelling clinical evidence
- Webinar being held today "Evolving strategic context for phages, Introducing new opportunities" to present PHAXIAM Therapeutics strategy
- Based on the positive evolution in phages therapy market, PHAXIAM’s development strategy could allow the Company to reach operating profitability and positive free cash flow in 2027
Lyon (France) – November 27, 2024, at 02:30 p.m. CET – PHAXIAM Therapeutics (Euronext: PHXM - FR0011471135), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative treatments for severe and resistant bacterial infections, presented an ambitious development strategy to take advantage of the rapidly evolving phage therapy area.
Webinar summary
This Wednesday, November 27, 2024, PHAXIAM's management is holding a presentation webinar "Evolving strategic context for phages, Introducing new opportunities" as well as a round table on the theme "Critical need for individualized phage treatments in Europe" with the participation of experts:
- Dr. Robert SEBBAG (MD, Infectiologist, La Pitié-Salpêtrière – Paris)
- Dr. Antonia SCOBIE (MD, Infectious Disease Specialist, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust – London)
- Prof. Dr. med. Volker ALT (MD, Director and Chairman of Department of Trauma Surgery University Medical Centre – Regensburg)
- Dr. Truong-Thanh PHAM (MD, Infectious Disease Specialist, Geneva University Hospitals – Geneva)
Following major topics related to Phages Therapy addressed during this webinar:
- Millions of patients experience unresolved resistant bacterial/ difficult-to-treat infections every year. Facing this critical medical need, there is a strong demand from Physicians for Phages therapy.
- Concurrently with its classical clinical development pathway (Phages Therapy Medical Product = PTMP), EMA has opened options for the commercialization of Individualized Phages Therapy (IPT) through magistral preparations. PTMP and IPT Models are complementary and synergistic approaches that can be managed by PHAXIAM with limited additional resources.
PTMP and IPT form together a self-reinforcing virtuous cycle for Phages therapy: (1) Commercial success in IPT will help finance PTMP programs and facilitate rapid uptake of future approved medicinal products, (2) Success (clinical validation) in PTMP will help broaden clinical and market acceptance of IPT in areas not yet addressable by PTMP.
Outlook
PHAXIAM will benefit from these two complementary strategic pillars (PTMP and IPT):
- IPT model, based on the extension of its personalized treatments internationally, to drive and secure short term revenues (2026-2030), with a potential of ~
€20m revenues in 2027 and of at least ~€100m revenues in 2030 by treating patients in the most important European countries, in which magistral preparations are common practices, - PTMP model, with existing AAC, revenues to be increased owing to additional AAC filings, complemented by a potential conditional market approval (CMA) for the Prosthetic Joint Infections Clinical development, based on the GLORIA study, with potential revenues of ~
€8m in 2027 and potentially reaching ~€100m in 2030.
With this strategy being implemented PHAXIAM expects to reach operating profitability and positive free cash flow in 2027.
Webinar replay
The replay of the webinar will be available in English, with French subtitles, on the Company's website in the coming days in the Investors section.
