Purpose:
On December 21, 2021, the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) published the Request for Project Proposals (RPP) MTEC-22-03-Diarrheal on the MTEC website and a notice will be posted on http://www.beta.sam.gov/ to notify interested parties. This RPP is focused on the development of a self-administered oral immunotherapy (not a vaccine) to prevent endemic diarrheal disease by targeting multiple bacterial pathogens. The self-administered oral immunotherapy should mitigate symptoms, shorten the duration of illness, and/or reduce the risk of contracting bacterial diarrheal illnesses. The proposed immunotherapy product would target enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), and at least one other common bacterial diarrheal pathogen such as Campylobacter or Shigella. The oral immunotherapy must be stable without requiring a cold-chain and therefore could be utilized by the Warfighter in austere environments.
