Welcome to Sequella
Sequella is a clinical-stage pharma company that develops new and better antibiotics to address drug resistant bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections. The company's product portfolio addresses devastating global health threats that affect over 3 billion people worldwide:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Products in our pipeline address tuberculosis (TB), multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), and extremely drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), diseases that affect 2.3 billion people, causing 10 million active infections and killing 2 million people yearly. Two of our drug candidates have completed phase 2 clinical trials (SQ109, sutezolid), one drug candidate (SQ609) is in preclinical development.
Helicobacter pylori: infections of the stomach that affect 3 billion people worldwide and cause gastric and duodenal ulcers and facilitate the development of gastric cancer. SQ109 demonstrated the ability to reduce a biomarker in H. pylori infections in a proof-of-principle clinical trial in patients.
Clostridium difficile: hospital-based and community-acquired infection that can cause life-threatening diarrhea and is currently the #1 health threat in the U.S. (400,000 infections and 20,000 deaths yearly). SQ641 is a preclinical stage drug candidate for this indication.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria: infections responsible for pneumonias, Buruli ulcer, and Crohn's disease. SQ641 is a preclinical stage drug candidate for these indications.
Trypanosomes: Parasitic infections affect more than 12 million people annually. SQ109 and analogues demonstrated activity against Leishmania sp. and Trypanosoma cruzi parasites in vitro.
Fungal Infections: Sequella’s chemical compound library and pipeline of drug candidates include a number of compounds with activity on one or more of the most prevalent fungal infections in the U.S. and elsewhere.
