Targanta Attacking $1.2Bn Antibiotic Market with Resistance Adverse Drug, Do-or-Die!
Mark and Joel review the competitive landscape for Targanta's Antibiotic and Lead Compound, Oritavancin. Key differentiators include shorter course of treatment, lack of monitoring and dosing adjustment, efficacy and coverage. With a growing $1.2bn market, Mark still sees an unmet medical need in resistance adverse antibiotics, which Targanta is looking to address with focus, passion, and a Do-or-Die attitude. A Phase 3 trial, validating a single dose treatment against a standard of care competitor is expected to run next year.
This interview was conducted at the NASDAQ Marketsite, on September 18th, 2008, in New York City.
Featuring:
* Mark Leuchtenberger, President and CEO, Targanta Therapeutics
* Joel Sendek, Managing Director and Senior Biotechnology Analyst, Lazard Capital
