Topline data from the trial demonstrate that oral tebipenem HBr was statistically non-inferior to intravenous (IV) ertapenem in the treatment of patients with cUTI and patients with AP.

Key Points: 
  • Topline data from the trial demonstrate that oral tebipenem HBr was statistically non-inferior to intravenous (IV) ertapenem in the treatment of patients with cUTI and patients with AP.
  • The global Phase 3 ADAPT-PO clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of oral tebipenem HBr versus IV ertapenem for the treatment of adults with cUTI or AP.
  • Serious TEAEs were infrequent (1.3% for tebipenem HBr vs. 1.7% for ertapenem) and no deaths were reported in the trial.
  • We are thrilled to announce positive ADAPT-PO results that we believe demonstrate the value of tebipenem HBr for healthcare providers, payers and patients.
