Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
The results from a Phase 1 study suggest that predicted therapeutic exposure of SPR719 can be achieved with once-daily oral administration of fobrepodacin (NCT03796910) [4]. In February 2021, the US FDA placed a hold on the fobrepodacin clinical trial programme because of an analysis of results from a non-human primate toxicology study. This hold was lifted in January 2022 and Spero Therapeutics have begun recruitement for a Phase 2 study (NCT05496374) to evaluate fobrepodacin in participants with NTM-PD caused by Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC). |
