LYON, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$MAAT–Regulatory News:


MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT: MAAT – the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company and a leader in the development of Microbiome Ecosystem TherapiesTM (MET) dedicated to enhancing survival for patients with cancer, announced today that its ongoing Phase 2b trial, called Phoebus, aimed at evaluating MaaT033 to improve overall survival for patients receiving allo-HSCT2 has been selected for funding, in response to the ‘Innovation in Biotherapy and Bioproduction’ call for projects from the ‘Biotherapies and Bioproduction of Innovative Therapies’ acceleration strategy, operated by Bpifrance. (project called: METALLO1).

“We’re honored to receive this funding, contributing to France’s leadership in innovative biotherapies. This is consistent with announcements from the French government in accelerating production of biomedicines in France. We thank the Ministry of Industry for its support during the official opening of the new manufacturing facility constructed and operated in partnership with Skyepharma” commented Siân Crouzet, CFO of MaaT Pharma.

MaaT Pharma’s MaaT033 program is an ambitious project aimed at using MaaT033 in a larger market in a chronic and ambulatory setting for patients receiving allo-HSCT2 during blood cancer treatment. MaaT Pharma is set to receive €7.4 million in funding for a project totaling €16.4 million over a 23-month period. The restructuring of these grants has no impact on the development of the Company’s immuno-oncology program, and MaaT Pharma is advancing its preclinical and clinical activities in the field of immuno-oncology as planned.

MaaT Pharma is currently in the process of seeking other sources of debt or equity financing, or partnering transactions, to supplement its working capital requirements and finance its operating expenses beyond the second quarter of 2024, its current financial runway.
