Lakewood‑Amedex presents preclinical data on Nu‑3 antimicrobial at IDWeek 2026

Lakewood‑Amedex Biotherapeutics disclosed preclinical results for its lead candidate Nu‑3 at the IDWeek 2026 conference. The data show rapid, broad‑spectrum bactericidal activity against Gram‑positive, Gram‑negative and multidrug‑resistant pathogens, with minimal increase in MIC values after serial passage. Nu‑3 is being evaluated in a Phase 2a trial for mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers, with topline results expected in the first quarter of 2027.

The company says the data reinforce Nu‑3’s potential to address antimicrobial‑resistance challenges, which could improve investor sentiment ahead of the Phase 2a readout. The upcoming Q1 2027 topline data will be a key catalyst for the stock.
