About 4D pharma
Founded in February 2014, 4D pharma is a world leader in the
development of Live Biotherapeutics, a novel and emerging class of
drugs, defined by the FDA as biological products that contain a
live organism, such as a bacterium, that is applicable to the
prevention, treatment or cure of a disease. 4D has developed a
proprietary platform, MicroRx(R), that rationally identifies Live
Biotherapeutics based on a deep understanding of function and
mechanism.
4D pharma's Live Biotherapeutic products (LBPs) are orally
delivered single strains of bacteria that are naturally found in
the healthy human gut. The Company has six clinical programs,
namely a Phase I/II study of MRx0518 in combination with KEYTRUDA
(pembrolizumab) in solid tumors, a Phase I study of MRx0518 in a
neoadjuvant setting for patients with solid tumors, a Phase I study
of MRx0518 in patients with pancreatic cancer, a Phase I/II study
of MRx-4DP0004 in asthma (NCT03851250), a Phase II study of
MRx-4DP0004 in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (NCT04363372),
and Blautix(R) in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) (NCT03721107)
which has completed a successful Phase II trial. Preclinical-stage
programs include candidates for CNS disease such as Parkinson's
disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. The Company has a
research collaboration with MSD, a tradename of Merck & Co.,
Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA, to discover and develop Live
Biotherapeutics for vaccines.
In October 2020 4D pharma announced its intention to merge with
Longevity Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: LOAC), a special purpose
acquisition company (SPAC), and seek a NASDAQ listing. The merger
is expected to be completed and the NASDAQ listing of 4D pharma
American Depositary Shares (ADSs) under the ticker symbol 'LBPS' is
currently expected to become effective in early 2021, subject to
the satisfaction of closing conditions, including approval of 4D
shareholders and Longevity shareholders and the approval by Nasdaq
of the listing of ADSs.
