Iterum Therapeutics Announces Topline Results for a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Oral and IV Sulopenem in Complicated Urinary Tract Infection

Study did not meet its primary endpoint

DUBLIN, Ireland and CHICAGO, June 01, 2020-- Iterum Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: ITRM), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing next generation oral and IV antibiotics to treat infections caused by multi-drug resistant pathogens in both community and hospital settings, today announced that sulopenem did not achieve statistical non-inferiority relative to ertapenem in its SUlopenem for Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (SURE) 2 clinical trial in complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI).

The primary U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) endpoint was overall clinical and microbiologic response on Day 21 in the micro-MITT population as evaluated using a 10% non-inferiority margin.

The randomized, multi-center, double-blind SURE 2 clinical trial enrolled 1,395 patients to measure the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of IV and oral sulopenem for the treatment of cUTI in adults. Patients were randomized to receive either IV sulopenem once daily for a minimum of five days followed by oral sulopenem twice daily to complete seven to ten days of treatment, or IV ertapenem once daily for a minimum of five days followed by either oral ciprofloxacin or, for quinolone resistant isolates, amoxicillin-clavulanate twice daily. Responder rates at the test of cure visit for sulopenem were 67.8% (301 of 444 patients) and for ertapenem were 73.9% (325 of 440 patients) with a difference of -6.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): -12.0%, - 0.1%). The difference in response rates was driven almost entirely by higher rates of asymptomatic bacteriuria on sulopenem relative to ertapenem, only evident at the test of cure visit; the rates of patients receiving additional antibiotics or with residual cUTI symptoms was similar. Clinical response at the test of cure in the Modified Intent to Treat patient population (sulopenem vs ertapenem: 2.0% (95% CI: -1.5, 5.4%) and Clinically Evaluable patient population (sulopenem vs ertapenem: 0.4% (95% CI: -2.6%, 3.5%) was similar. The outcome at other secondary endpoints was also similar, including the overall response at the end of therapy visit at Day 10, (sulopenem: 385 of 444 patients (86.7%); ertapenem: 391 of 440 patients (88.9%).

“We are very disappointed by the outcome in the cUTI study, although sulopenem was well tolerated and demonstrated a safety profile consistent with previous studies and the penem class in general,” said Corey Fishman, Chief Executive Officer of Iterum Therapeutics. Based on these trial results, Iterum Therapeutics is evaluating its corporate, strategic and financial alternatives with the goal of maximizing value for its stakeholders while prudently managing its remaining resources. These alternatives could potentially include the licensing, sale or divestiture of the company’s assets or proprietary technologies, a sale of the company, a merger or other business combination, another strategic transaction involving the company, restructuring activities, winding down of operations, dissolving and liquidating assets or seeking protection under bankruptcy laws. The evaluation of corporate, strategic and financial alternatives may not result in any particular action or any transaction being pursued, entered into or consummated, and there is no assurance as to the timing, sequence or outcome of any action or transaction or series of actions or transactions.

About Sulopenem

Sulopenem, a novel penem anti-infective compound with oral and IV formulations, has demonstrated potent in vitro activity against a wide variety of gram-negative, gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. The safety profile of IV sulopenem has been documented in a Phase 2 program. Given these results, Iterum Therapeutics initiated three pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of oral and IV sulopenem for uncomplicated urinary tract infections, complicated urinary tract infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections.

The FDA has granted Special Protocol Agreements (SPA) and Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designations for oral and IV sulopenem in accordance with the Generating Antibiotics Incentives Now (GAIN) Act, which allow for five years of additional regulatory exclusivity and expedited Fast Track FDA review.
