In other recent news, AN2 Therapeutics has faced a significant setback as its Phase 3 study of epetraborole for MAC lung disease did not meet the primary endpoint. This development has led the company to halt further development of oral epetraborole for this condition. Despite this, AN2 Therapeutics remains committed to its boron chemistry pipeline, focusing on other potential uses such as M. abscessus lung disease and melioidosis. JMP Securities reacted by adjusting its price target for the company from $5.00 to $2.00, while maintaining a Market Outperform rating. The firm’s revised valuation is based on the projected year-end 2025 cash and platform value, reflecting a cautious yet positive outlook.

Additionally, AN2 Therapeutics has reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2024, ending with approximately $89 million in cash reserves. The company anticipates that its financial resources will sustain operations through 2027, assuming the continuation of its current strategy. The company is also preparing for a Phase 1 study of AN2-502998 for chronic Chagas disease, expected to be completed in the second half of 2025. Meanwhile, AN2 Therapeutics plans to leverage non-dilutive funding to further develop epetraborole for M. abscessus lung disease. The company’s oncology efforts are progressing, with compounds expected to enter development in late 2025.
