ACXP showed meaningfully reduced R&D expenses alongside improved cash burn and roughly doubled total assets, suggesting operational efficiency gains during the period.

The substantial reduction in R&D spending coupled with improved operating losses indicates the company may be transitioning between development phases or implementing cost management measures. The doubled asset base and reduced liabilities suggest improved financial positioning, though investors should monitor whether the lower R&D spend impacts pipeline progress.

The proportion of ibezapolstat-dosed subjects with an AE was similar to placebo at each dosing level.
Phase 2a results were published in CID (October 2022) and Phase 2b results were published in Lancet Microbe (June 2025).
Explanation of the mechanism of action of DNA polC inhibitors was published in Nature Communications (October 2025).
Following the ternary binding hypothesis described above, Torti et al.
Leiden University Medical Center/Health Holland Research Project In August 2021, Health Holland awarded a grant of approximately $500,000 USD to Leiden University Medical Center ( LUMC ) to further study the mechanism of action of pol IIIC inhibitors in a consortium partnership with our Company (the Health Holland Research Project ).

Systemic exposure following oral dosing was very low and no accumulation occurred after ten days of repeated dosing.
The hypothesis supporting further development of ibezapolstat is that dGTP analog compounds bind to pol IIIC via a base-pairing domain and an enzyme-specific aryl domain ( Figure 1 ).
Pre-Clinical Studies All IND-enabling preclinical studies for ibezapolstat have been completed, including FDA-required toxicology, pharmacokinetics and in vitro microbiology studies and in vivo animal models.
The SAB noted that 10 out of 10 patients enrolled in the Phase 2a trial reached the Clinical Cure endpoint, defined in the study protocol as the resolution of diarrhea in the 24-hour period immediately before the end-of-treatment that is maintained for 48 hours after end of treatment.
All clinical trials must be conducted under the supervision of qualified investigators and in accordance with protocols detailing the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used in monitoring the safety and effectiveness criteria to be evaluated.
