Dale Gerding, an infectious diseases specialist, researcher, professor and hospital epidemiologist, and one of the leading international experts on Clostridium difficile, has retained The Chicago Corporation to assist him in finding an exclusive licensee for his patented non-toxigenic Clostridium difficile (NTCD) technology for the prevention and treatment of Clostridium difficile infection.

Dr Gerding currently owns patents and all rights to the development, manufacturing, regulatory and clinical trial data for NTCD.

The lead pharmaceutical product, NTCD-M3, incorporating this technology has already completed Phase I and II clinical trials, has US Food and Drug Administration fast-track approval status, and is expected to be eligible for Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for a Phase III Trial and to be eligible for reference product exclusivity for 12 years for an approved biologics license application.
