Ron Najafi, Chairman and CEO of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, provided an update to shareholders at their annual meeting. NovaBay is developing new anti-infective products to address the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance. Their lead product candidates include auriclosene, which has shown effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, and fungi in clinical trials for conditions like conjunctivitis and impetigo, without inducing resistance. NovaBay also markets NeutroPhase, a pure hypochlorous acid solution for wound care. They anticipate results from multiple global phase 2 clinical trials in 2013 and have established partnerships to commercialize their products in key markets.
