Ruthigen, Inc. Information

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical-grade hypochlorous acid-based (HOCl) therapeutics designed to prevent and treat infection in invasive applications. Our lead drug candidate, RUT58-60, is a broad spectrum anti-infective that we are developing for the prevention and treatment of infection in surgical and trauma procedures. We are focusing RUT58-60 for use initially in abdominal surgery due to the large addressable market, high rate of post-surgical infection associated with abdominal surgery, the high-impact opportunity that abdominal surgery offers us in the clinical trial setting to expose multiple internal organs to RUT58-60 at one time, and feedback from surgeons identifying post-surgical infection in abdominal surgery (relative to other surgeries) as a significant unmet medical need.
