About this update from Basilea Pharmaceutica Ag
Allschwil, Switzerland, January 08, 2026 Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd, Allschwil (SIX: BSLN), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to meeting the needs of patients with severe bacterial and fungal infections, reported today on the progress within its R&D and commercial portfolio during 2025 and outlined the upcoming milestones and timelines . David Veitch, Chief Executive Officer, highlighted: "We entered 2025 from a position of strength and closed the year even stronger, thanks to outstanding execution and significant progress across all fronts. During 2025, we delivered on every goal we set.” He continued: “Cresemba celebrated its 10th year on the market with continued commercial success, achieving strong global in-market sales and expanding its reach to more than 75 countries. Zevtera was successfully launched in the US, its commercially most important market, while our R&D pipeline advanced toward next milestones. This included fosmanogepix entering its second phase 3 study and the in-licensing of ceftibuten-ledaborbactam, a novel oral antibiotic for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI). These programs are designed to drive medium-term growth and are progressing fully in line with our plan.” He concluded: “Our business model is anchored in strong partnerships. Recently, we forged two new collaborations in preclinical development: one focused on artificial intelligence (AI)-driven antibacterial drug design and the other on antifungal drug development. These partnerships combine our expertise in anti-infectives with our partners’ specialized capabilities to strengthen our early-stage pipeline. At the same time, existing partnerships remained robust. We secured substantial non-dilutive funding through the Other Transactions Agreement (OTA) with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) [ 1 ] for our antifungals fosmanogepix and BAL2062, and a prior BARDA contract was novated to Basilea following the in-licensing of the antibiotic ceftibuten-ledaborbactam. Commercial partnerships also delivered multiple milestone payments from Europe, China/Asia-Pacific, and Japan, underscoring the success of our commercial products as they address patients’ needs worldwide.” Portfolio key highlights 2025 and outlook 2026 Cresemba ® (isavuconazole): Reinforcing position as global market leader by value Zevtera ® (ceftobiprole): Establishing a novel treatment option for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) in the US Fosmanogepix: Advancing phase 3 program in invasive mold and yeast infections Ceftibuten-ledaborbactam: addressing unmet needs in cUTI Early-stage pipeline programs: Completed preclinical profiling and advancing toward next inflection points New R&D partnerships: Driving long-term value creation In December and January, we entered into two collaborations aimed at accelerating innovation and strengthening our early-stage pipeline with high-potential drug candidates to support long-term growth: About Basilea Basilea is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Switzerland.
