(NASDAQ: INVA), in collaboration with the Global Antibiotic Research &amp; Development Partnership (GARDP), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) for zoliflodacin, the investigational first-in-class, single dose, spiropyrimidinetrione oral antibiotic for the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea in adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older. If approved, zoliflodacin would be the first new antibiotic for treating gonorrhea in decades.<\/p>\n<p>\nWith more than 82 million new gonorrhea infections occurring globally each year, gonorrhea is the second most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI), affecting both men and women, which, if left untreated, can result in serious and permanent health consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\nWith the rise and spread of drug-resistant infections and the World Health Organization (WHO) identifying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the ten most critical global threats to public health, the bacterium <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/i> has progressively developed resistance to many classes of antibiotics used to treat these infections, including ceftriaxone, a widely used intramuscular injection that was first made available in 1984.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cToday\u2019s acceptance of the zoliflodacin NDA marks significant progress toward delivering health care providers with a potential new oral treatment option for uncomplicated gonorrhea, including infections caused by drug-resistant strains,\u201d said David Altarac, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics. \u201cWe look forward to working closely with the FDA during its review and, if approved, we are committed to expediting the availability of zoliflodacin to patients in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nRecent reports (<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelancet.com%2Fjournals%2Flaninf%2Farticle%2FPIIS1473-3099%252823%252900479-6%2Ffulltext&amp;esheet=54271586&amp;newsitemid=20250610102070&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=The+Lancet+Infectious+Diseases&amp;index=1&amp;md5=13be0d6e922c50dfd52d6e6ced43a590\">The Lancet Infectious Diseases<\/a>) of emergent ceftriaxone-resistant infections have heightened the urgency for new antibiotics. Effective treatment options are essential to reducing the burden of disease for individuals and preventing the spread of highly drug-resistant gonorrhea<\/p>\n<p>\nglobally. If left untreated, gonorrhea can also cause infertility in women, life-threatening ectopic pregnancies, and pelvic inflammatory disease.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\nThe FDA\u2019s acceptance of the zoliflodacin NDA is based on the totality of data collected from several clinical trials as part of an innovative public-private partnership with GARDP. These trials include a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial which demonstrated non-inferiority in achieving microbiological cure at the urogenital site of infection of a single oral dose of zoliflodacin compared to a treatment regimen of a single intramuscular injection of ceftriaxone followed by 1 week of oral azithromycin. The Phase 3 study found that zoliflodacin was generally well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events or deaths reported during the trial.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis important milestone demonstrates the crucial role that public-private partnerships can play in tackling the escalating global antimicrobial resistance crisis,\u201d said Dr. Manica Balasegaram, Executive Director, Global Antibiotic Research Development Partnership (GARDP). \u201cIf zoliflodacin is approved, this collaboration paves the way for millions of people across the world to get access to a potentially powerful new drug to treat multidrug-resistant gonorrhea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nZoliflodacin has a unique mechanism of action, inhibiting a crucial bacterial enzyme called type II topoisomerase, which is essential for bacterial function and reproduction. <i>In vitro<\/i> studies have demonstrated its activity against multidrug-resistant strains of<i> Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/i>, including those resistant to ceftriaxone and azithromycin, with no cross-resistance to other antibiotics. This investigational antibacterial is administered in a single, oral dose, simplifying treatment by providing a convenient option for patients unable to receive an intramuscular injection.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe U.S. FDA has granted zoliflodacin a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation. This designation allows it to benefit from FDA Priority Review, and Extended Market Exclusivity. Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics, Inc., anticipates that the NDA review will proceed according to the standard process for drugs with this designation.<\/p>\n<p>\nEntasis Therapeutics, Inc., the legal NDA holder and affiliate of Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics, Inc., retains the commercial rights for zoliflodacin in the major markets in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. GARDP retains the right to register and commercialize the product in more than three-quarters of the world\u2019s countries, including all low-income countries, most middle-income countries, and several high-income countries. GARDP is committed to working with its partners and local health authorities in markets where zoliflodacin receives regulatory approval to help remove access barriers to ensure treatment is available to address unmet medical needs while ensuring appropriate and sustainable use.<\/p>\n<p><b>About GARDP<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Global Antibiotic Research &amp; Development Partnership (GARDP) is a not-for-profit global health organization driven to protect people from the rise and spread of drug-resistant infections, one of the biggest threats to us all.
