The solid showing comes less than two weeks after the Beverly, Mass.-based pharmaceutical company reported favorable results in a recently completed preclinical study evaluating its new antibiotic compounds against specific strains of multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The research, which is government funded through existing grants to research institutions, is being conducted at a major university in Texas.

In a thigh burden study of a multi-drug resistant strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae in a mouse model, Cellceutix's defensin mimetic compound CTIX1278, was efficacious as compared to a carbapenem antibiotic that is widely used as a last line of defense against drug-resistant, Gram-negative bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumoniae.

 A second study is now being conducted at multiple dosing levels with various infusion parameters with the goal of increasing efficacy and further defining a treatment protocol for the compound.

"This is highly encouraging early data of CTIX1278 as it is the first example of efficacy in vivo with one of our defensin mimetic compounds versus Klebsiella pneumoniae,"  said Dr. Krishna Menon, chief scientific officer at Cellceutix.

On Apr. 25, CTIX’s share price on closed at $1.68, up 9 cents from previous day’s share price of $1.59.
