Terrific news and a significant unmet need. Congrats @AMahadevia and Spero team
Announcing positive Phase III data! ADAPT-PO is a landmark study comparing our all oral to an all IV regimen. Tebipenem would be the first oral option for cUTI in 26 years. We thank all of the patients and investigators in the trial and are honored to advance towards NDA filing
