Recce Pharmaceuticals is developing novel, broad-spectrum synthetic polymer anti-infective drugs for the treatment of several infectious diseases, including sepsis, burn wound infections, urinary tract infections/urosepsis and diabetic foot infections.

The WHO estimates that sepsis leads to c 11 million deaths each year. Sepsis affects 1.7 million people in the United States annually and costs the healthcare system US$57bn in inpatient costs. In our view, there are significant opportunities for treatments that may reduce morbidity or hospital utilisation. Recce announced an A$10m equity financing in July that is expected to extend its runway into FY26.

Recce Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage, Australian biotech company developing a novel class of broad-spectrum synthetic anti-infective drugs to which, so far, all tested bacteria have been unable to develop resistance. This would be a very desirable trait given widespread concerns about antimicrobial resistance. The lead indication for RECCE 327 (R327) is sepsis, a substantial area of unmet need with significant mortality and high costs of care. Recce is also assessing its intravenous formulation in complicated urinary tract infections, with a Phase II study planned in H2 CY24. Topical formulations of R327 are also being evaluated for diabetic foot infections, for which a Phase III program is expected to start in Q3 CY24, and also for burn wound infections.
