21 January 2026 - Scynexis today announced that the US FDA has granted the Company qualified infectious disease product and fast track designations for its second generation triterpenoid anti-fungal therapy, SCY-247.
With its broad spectrum of activity, the Company believes that SCY-247 has the potential to address this growing public health threat, due to its demonstrated activity against most drug-resistant fungi, including multi-drug-resistant Candida auris and azole-resistant Aspergillus spp.
