DUBLIN, Ireland, Sept. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nabriva Therapeutics Plc (NASDAQ:NBRV), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of innovative anti-infective agents to treat serious infections, today announced that it will present data at Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) IDWeek™ 2018 taking place in San Francisco, CA from October 3-7, 2018.
At the meeting, four presentations, including a late-breaker, oral platform presentation of the Phase 3, pivotal LEAP 2 study, demonstrating non-inferiority of 5 days of oral lefamulin to 7 days of oral moxifloxacin, will feature both clinical and in vitro microbiological data that support lefamulin as a potential IV and oral treatment for CABP. Additionally, one poster presentation will feature CONTEPO, a novel, potentially first-in-class, intravenous antibiotic in the United States. This poster will focus on clinical and microbiological response at test of cure in secondary efficacy populations from the pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical trial (ZEUS™) for the treatment of cUTIs, including acute pyelonephritis (AP), which demonstrated non-inferiority to piperacillin/tazobactam in patients with cUTI, including AP.
“These data are part of a growing body of evidence supporting lefamulin and CONTEPO as promising first-in-class antibiotic treatments in the United States for key pathogens, including multi-drug resistant strains, for CABP and cUTI, respectively. To address the current rise of antibiotic resistance it is imperative that new classes of antibiotics with unique mechanisms of action continue to be developed to provide health care providers treatment options for patients with serious infections,” said Jennifer Schranz, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Nabriva Therapeutics. “Following the positive results from our Phase 3 clinical trials of lefamulin and our Phase 2/3 clinical trial of CONTEPO, we believe that both lefamulin and CONTEPO have the potential to change the treatment paradigm of CABP and cUTIs, respectively, and we are on track to submit New Drug Applications (NDAs) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the fourth quarter of this year.”
