Healing intestinal disease with oxygen
Clinically validated efficacy.
Novel oral administration.
Addressing an urgent public health threat
We are focused on the prevention of antibiotic-induced C. difficile colitis infections, a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections.
No vaccine hesitancy
No stewardship restrictions
Targeted prevention without systemic disruption
The LPOXY team is driven to protect people from this deadly antibiotic-induced superinfection.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers C. difficile colitis an URGENT public health threat.
- C. difficile colitis afflicts nearly a half million Americans each year.
- 30,000 will die.
- There are no therapies or vaccines to prevent this antibiotic-induced superinfection.
LPOXY Therapeutics is developing a pill that taken with antibiotics gently increases the colon’s oxygen tension to prevent antibiotic-induced C. difficile colitis via multiple mechanisms.
