Nabriva Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ:NBRV), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development
of novel anti-infective agents to treat serious infections, with a
focus on the pleuromutilin class of antibiotics, today announced
that it will showcase data at ID Week 2017 taking place from
October 4-8 in San Diego, California.
At the meeting, three presentations will feature
the company’s most advanced pleuromutilin antibiotic, known as
lefamulin. Earlier this month, Nabriva Therapeutics announced
positive topline results from the first of two Phase 3 clinical
trials in adults with community-acquired bacterial phenomena
(CABP), known as LEAP 1.
“Resistance to current, gold standard,
antibiotic therapies continues to grow and patients desperately
need new therapies that possess a novel mechanism of action that
result in potent activity against resistant pathogens, while
minimizing the collateral damage often observed from broad spectrum
antibacterial agents,” said Steven P. Gelone, Pharm.D., chief
scientific officer at Nabriva Therapeutics. “These data add to the
growing evidence supporting lefamulin’s targeted spectrum of
activity against the pathogens most commonly associated with CABP,
including multi-drug resistant strains.”
In addition, Dr. Gelone will deliver a
presentation on lefamulin and participate in a panel focused on new
antibiotic agents in development.
Nabriva Therapeutics is hosting a Corporate
Reception for ID Week attendees at the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp
Quarter Altitude Sky Lounge, 22nd Floor on Thursday, October 5,
2017 from 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. To secure your attendance, please

About CABP
Based on Nabriva Therapeutics’ combined analysis
of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s
2007 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey,
the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and
2013 data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization
Project, Nabriva Therapeutics estimates that more than 5
million adults are treated annually for CABP in the United
States. Additionally, based on 2013 data from
the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Nabriva
Therapeutics estimates that approximately 3.1 million of these
adult CABP patients sought treatment in a hospital setting, where
most are then treated with in-patient IV and oral antibiotics or
out-patient oral antibiotics prescribed for use following hospital
discharge or release.
About Nabriva Therapeutics plc
Nabriva Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical
company engaged in the research and development of new medicines to
treat serious bacterial infections, with a focus on the
pleuromutilin class of antibiotics. Nabriva Therapeutics’ medicinal
chemistry expertise has enabled targeted discovery of novel
pleuromutilins, including both intravenous and oral formulations.
Nabriva Therapeutics’ lead product candidate, lefamulin, is a novel
semi-synthetic pleuromutilin antibiotic with the potential to be
the first-in-class available for systemic administration in humans.
The company believes that lefamulin is the first antibiotic with a
novel mechanism of action to have reached late-stage clinical
development in more than a decade. Nabriva has announced positive
topline data for lefamulin from the first of its two global,
registrational Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating lefamulin in
patients with moderate to severe community-acquired bacterial
pneumonia (CABP). Nabriva Therapeutics believes lefamulin is
well-positioned for use as a first-line empiric monotherapy for the
treatment of moderate to severe CABP due to its novel mechanism of
action, targeted spectrum of activity, resistance profile,
achievement of substantial drug concentration in lung tissue and
fluid, oral and IV formulations and a favorable tolerability
profile, with the results of the LEAP 1 trial showing a rate of
treatment-emergent adverse events comparable to moxifloxacin with
or without linezolid. Nabriva Therapeutics intends to further
pursue development of lefamulin for additional indications,
including the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure
infections (ABSSSI), and is developing a formulation of lefamulin
appropriate for pediatric use.
Nabriva Therapeutics owns exclusive, worldwide
rights to lefamulin, which is protected by composition of matter
patents issued in the United States, Europe and Japan.
