- "We are pleased with this notice of allowance for a new patent that will further strengthen ATI-1501’s potential as a more convenient antibiotic treatment option," said Appili President and CEO Don Cilla.
- Appili and its partner Saptalis Pharmaceuticals expect ATI-1501 to be approved by the FDA by the end of 2023.
