Spero Therapeutics: Revolutionizing Drug Development with Promising Treatments for Rare Diseases and Multi-Drug Resistant Infections
Spero Therapeutics, a multi-asset clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is dedicated to identifying and developing innovative treatments for rare diseases and multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. The company recently announced that they will share their first quarter 2024 financial results and provide a business and pipeline update on May 15, after the market closes.
Spero Therapeutics is at the forefront of developing novel treatments for rare diseases and MDR bacterial infections. Their lead product candidate, SPR720, is a promising oral first-line treatment for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) and is currently being studied in a Phase 2A proof of concept trial. NTM-PD is a rare lung disease caused by non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections.
In addition to SPR720, Spero Therapeutics is also working on Tebipenem HBr, an oral drug that is currently in a Phase 3 registrational trial for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis. The company has granted GSK an exclusive license to commercialize tebipenem HBr in most territories, excluding certain Asian territories.
One of Spero Therapeutics’ most exciting innovations is SPR206, an investigational IV-administered direct-acting next-generation polymyxin that demonstrates antibiotic activity against MDR Gram-negative pathogens such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The FDA has cleared an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to advance SPR206 into a Phase 2 clinical trial for participants with hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.
