Highlights
- Oral loading dose regimen for CABP: Received FDA approval for NUZYRA’s oral loading dose regimen for CABP in late May 2021. Plans have been established to broaden the Company’s community-based sales effort in the primary care setting to include CABP later this year in anticipation of the 2021/2022 flu season. The Company estimates that CABP in the primary care setting has a
$1.5 billion addressable market opportunity in the U.S. - NTM abscessus rare disease opportunity: Initiated a Phase 2b study in June 2021 to explore the potential utility of omadacycline as a treatment for NTM abscessus pulmonary infection, a rare disease with no approved therapies, which the Company estimates is a
$1.0 billion addressable market opportunity in the U.S. - Continued progress of the BARDA Project BioShield anthrax program: Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) accepted the first procurement of NUZYRA valued at
$37.9 million . The Company continues to execute and deliver on its five-year contract with BARDA, part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to develop NUZYRA for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax, a critical bioterrorism threat deemed important to national security by BARDA. These activities include advancing the U.S. onshoring of NUZYRA manufacturing and the continued execution of certain preclinical research activities supporting the pulmonary anthrax development program. - NUZYRA added to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Plague Guideline: The Company’s novel, once-daily oral and intravenous antibiotic NUZYRA has recently been added to the CDC’s updated guideline, Antimicrobial Treatment and Prophylaxis of Plague: Recommendations for Naturally Acquired Infections and Bioterrorism Response. The addition of NUZYRA provides further validation of the potential utility of the drug against pathogens that cause health security threats such as plague.
- Nuzyra included in CHEST, “Treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus Pulmonary Disease”: Two recognized NTM experts, who are NTM treatment guideline authors, collaborated on a recently published review article that expands on the current guidelines for the treatment of pulmonary M. abscessus infections. The authors included omadacycline in their recommended treatment options based on its potent in vitro activity and reports of clinical success in real-world NTM abscessus case series. In particular, the authors highlighted the importance of NUZYRA’s oral formulation given the lack of currently available oral treatment options.

$75.3 million as of June 30, 2021, plus the$37.9 million received from BARDA in July 2021 for the first procurement of NUZYRA, provides for a cash runway through the end of 2023 with a pathway to cash flow break even.
