| Areas of work | Compassionate-use support for serious resistant or device-associated bacterial infections; prioritizes life/limb-threatening cases, complicated UTIs, transplant and implant-associated infections. Matching, clinical review, supply and regulatory authorization remain necessary. |
| International access | Official FAQ explicitly allows consultation with physicians abroad; local treatment authorization and actual international patient acceptance are not guaranteed. |
What to confirm
- No promise of a matching phage, acceptance, referral, travel treatment or transfer of care. A planned trial is not an intake route.
