Competitive Landscape
In cystic fibrosis, Spexis competes with established players like Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Its OMPTA antibiotics face competition from other novel Gram-negative antibiotic developers such as Venatorx and Shionogi. The macrocycle platform competes with other modalities targeting protein-protein interactions, including protein degraders and molecular glues from companies like Arvinas and Kymera.
