New York, May 31, 2024 - PRISM MarketView - Clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, Iterum Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ITRM), is topping the PRISM Emerging Women’s Health Index on Friday after the company announced that the FDA has acknowledged receipt of the company’s resubmitted New Drug Application (NDA) for sulopenem etzadroxil/probenecid (oral sulopenem) for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) in adult women. The company’s share price climbed in morning trading, settling up +9.03% at noon.
Iterum stated that under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), the FDA has deemed the Company’s NDA resubmission to be a Class II complete response which has a six-month review period from the date of resubmission. As a result, the FDA has assigned a PDUFA action date of October 25, 2024.
"We are very pleased that the FDA has accepted the resubmission of the NDA for oral sulopenem. This significant milestone brings us one step closer to the potential approval of oral sulopenem for uUTIs providing patients and physicians with a much-needed treatment option for this underserved market. We look forward to continuing to work with the FDA during its review.”
Corey Fishman, Iterum’s Chief Executive Officer
Iterum’s resubmission included supplementary evidence from the REASSURE clinical trial, which compared oral sulopenem to oral Augmentin® in adult women with a uUTI, and demonstrated an overall success rate demonstrating statistically significant superiority of oral sulopenem versus Augmentin®.
