Pherecydes Pharma (FR0011651694 - ALPHE) has been granted AAC Early Access Program approval by France’s Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des produits de santé (ANSM) for its anti-Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) phages.

The new AAC system (formerly nominative authorization for early access - ATU), introduced in July 2021 by the ANSM, allows certain categories of sick patients in France with no therapeutic solutions to benefit from drugs yet to be granted marketing approval.
