Independent study: CARB-X-supported antibiotic projects are five times more likely to reach clinical trials
Summary
An independent, peer-reviewed study published in Health Affairs Scholar found that CARB-X, a global push incentive for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), significantly accelerates the development of life-saving antibiotics. Projects supported by CARB-X have nearly five times greater odds of advancing to clinical trials compared to non-supported projects. This is the first-ever independent evaluation of a push incentive to address AMR, validating CARB-X's mission to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria by de-risking early-stage R&D.
