Welcome to our dedicated page for Iterum Therapeutics Plc news (Ticker: ITRM), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Iterum Therapeutics Plc stock.
Iterum Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: ITRM) is an Ireland-based clinical-stage pharmaceutical company committed to developing unique anti-infectives to address the global crisis of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. The company's flagship product, sulopenem, is a novel penem anti-infective available in both oral and intravenous formulations. Sulopenem has shown potent in-vitro activity against a wide range of gram-negative, gram-positive, and anaerobic bacteria resistant to other antibiotics.
Currently, Iterum is focused on advancing sulopenem through Phase 3 clinical development. The company recently completed its REASSURE trial—a critical study comparing oral sulopenem to oral Augmentin® in adult women with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs). The trial demonstrated that oral sulopenem was non-inferior to Augmentin® for the primary efficacy endpoint, with statistically significant superiority in overall success rates.
Iterum has also received Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations for sulopenem in seven indications from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The company recently resubmitted its New Drug Application (NDA) for oral sulopenem, which has been accepted by the FDA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date set for October 25, 2024.
Financially, Iterum reported robust research and development (R&D) expenditures, primarily driven by the REASSURE trial. The company’s net loss decreased in 2023 compared to the previous year, reflecting its focused investment in key clinical trials and strategic projects.
Iterum is actively seeking partnerships and strategic options to maximize the value of sulopenem, including potential sales or licensing agreements. The firm's dedicated efforts in combating MDR pathogens aim to significantly improve the lives of people affected by serious and life-threatening diseases.
Iterum Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: ITRM) will report its first quarter 2024 financial results on May 13, 2024. The company focuses on developing oral and IV antibiotics to treat infections caused by multi-drug resistant pathogens. A conference call will be held to discuss financial results and business updates.
Iterum Therapeutics has resubmitted its New Drug Application for oral sulopenem to the U.S. FDA for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections. The potential approval of oral sulopenem, the first oral penem in the U.S. and the second new oral treatment for uUTIs in over 25 years, could benefit an estimated 40 million women suffering from uUTIs annually in the U.S. The NDA resubmission includes data from phase 3 clinical trials showing oral sulopenem's efficacy and safety, positioning it as a promising new antibiotic option.
