Poolbeg Pharma’s results highlight expansion potential and promising new assets

The annual results released by biopharmaceutical company Poolbeg Pharma Plc (LON:POLB) highlighted the pipeline, personnel hires, and expansion potential of its signature asset POLB 001. Since that release, the pipeline has potentially expanded with an option agreement to acquire an orphan drug candidate for Behçet’s Disease, a condition that causes chronic inflammation or swelling in the body’s blood vessels and can lead to neurological complications like strokes. This candidate aligns with Poolbeg’s goal of developing and commercialising innovative medicines targeting diseases with high unmet medical needs. Poolbeg has 12 months for due diligence on this candidate, described by CEO Dr Jeremy Skillington as “a very interesting, very exciting asset with really good data.”

Poolbeg is renowned for its thorough research efforts, with a team experienced in launching similar businesses on the Nasdaq stock exchange. The company has appointed Shore Capital as its joint brokers, leveraging their expertise in biopharmaceutical listings on the U.S. stock exchange. The U.S. market is crucial for Poolbeg, not only for additional capital but also due to the presence of the FDA, which plays a key role in clinical trials and fast-tracking treatment commercialisation. The Behçet’s Disease candidate already has FDA Fast Track designation.

Additionally, POLB 001 has made progress in the U.S. with an Immunomodulator II patent grant, which strengthens the company’s intellectual property portfolio for partnering. According to Dr Skillington, POLB 001 shows immense promise in a $10 billion market, with data generation being equally important to protecting the company’s innovations.

Poolbeg Pharma plc (LON:POLB) is a clinical stage infectious disease pharmaceutical company, with a novel capital light clinical model which enables us to develop multiple products faster and more cost effectively than the traditional biotech model.
