Company

Company overview

Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc. is a clinical-stage drug developer centered on MAT2203, an oral form of the antifungal drug amphotericin B. Its lipid nanocrystal technology packages drugs for delivery and makes oral administration possible. The planned ORALTO trial would test MAT2203 in patients with invasive aspergillosis who have limited treatment options.

The company has paused MAT2203 clinical development and work on its other internal programs. It is seeking a partner to develop or commercialize MAT2203 through a license, sale or similar deal. ORALTO cannot start without a partnership or additional capital, and a partner could change the development plan. Matinas has no revenue and has funded operations mainly by selling equity, rather than selling medicines.

The business depends on securing funding or a transaction and retaining access to platform patents licensed from Rutgers University. Product sales would require successful development and regulatory approval. Securities rules currently limit how much Matinas can raise through its Form S-3 shelf registration. If no MAT2203 transaction is completed, the board may pursue a winddown or dissolution.

Matinas’s prospects hinge on finding a partner or raising more capital to restart development of its oral antifungal candidate MAT2203, rather than on the businesses of the supplied companies.
