Scynexis Receives FDA QIDP and FTD Designations
Scynexis announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has granted the Company Qualified Infectious Disease Product, QIDP, and Fast Track Designations, FTD, for its second-generation triterpenoid antifungal therapy, SCY-247. In 2026, the Company expects to initiate a Phase 1 study of SCY-247 with the IV formulation as well as a Phase 2 study with the oral formulation in invasive candidiasis. Scynexis also aims to release proof-of -concept data for the oral formulation of SCY-247 in IC in 2026. Considering the differentiated attributes of SCY-247 and its potential role to counter health security threats posed by antifungal resistance development, the company will also continue exploring potential non-dilutive funding opportunities to further support this program.
