MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- F2G Ltd. today announced that the Company’s chief executive officer, Francesco Lavino will provide a corporate overview at Biotech Showcase™ 2023 taking place in San Francisco, California, from January 9-11, 2023.
Francesco Maria Lavino will discuss the Company’s lead antifungal drug candidate, olorofim, a first-in-class, oral small molecule with a novel, differentiated mechanism of action for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for filing a New Drug Application (NDA) for olorofim for the treatment of invasive fungal infections in patients who have limited or no treatment options with a PDUFA date set for June 17, 2023.
Details for the presentation are as follows:

About Olorofim
Olorofim (formerly, F901318) is F2G’s leading candidate from the orotomide class and the company recently completed enrollment of an ongoing Phase 2b open-label study in patients who have limited treatment options for difficult-to-treat, invasive, rare fungal mold infections including azole-resistant aspergillosis, scedosporiosis, lomentosporiosis, invasive Scopulariopsis, and other rare mold infections (NCT03583164). Initial data were presented at ID Week in Washington DC in October 2022 and the full data will be presented at a global conference later this year. A global Phase 3 trial (“OASIS”) to compare treatment with olorofim versus AmBisome® followed by standard of care (SOC) in patients with proven or probable invasive fungal infection due to Aspergillus species (NCT05101187) is currently enrolling. Olorofim has received orphan drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of coccidioidomycosis, scedosporiosis (including lomentosporiosis), invasive Scopulariopsis, and invasive aspergillosis. Olorofim has also received orphan drug designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis, invasive scedosporiosis (including lomentosporiosis), and invasive Scopulariopsis. Olorofim has been granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation for invasive aspergillosis, invasive scedosporiosis, invasive lomentosporiosis, coccidioidomycosis, invasive disease due to Scopulariopsis species, and invasive fusariosis. Olorofim has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation for both “treatment of invasive mold infections in patients with limited or no treatment options, including aspergillosis refractory or intolerant to currently available therapy, and infections due to Lomentospora prolificans, Scedosporium, and Scopulariopsis species” and “treatment of Central Nervous System (CNS) coccidioidomycosis refractory or otherwise unable to be treated with standard of care therapy.” Olorofim is not approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency.
About F2G
F2G is a biotech company with operations in the UK, US, and Austria focused on the discovery and development of novel therapies to treat potentially life-threatening invasive fungal infections. F2G has discovered and developed a completely new class of antifungal agents called the orotomides which selectively target a key enzyme in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. This is a completely different mechanism from that of the currently marketed antifungal agents and gives the orotomides fungicidal activity against a broad range of rare and resistant fungal mold infections.
