Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Epetraborole was first developed by GlaxoSmithKline as a treatment for Gram-negative infections. It advanced to Phase 2 evaluation for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs; NCT01381549) and complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs; NCT01381562) but these were terminated due to resistance developing in patients during the cUTI trial [3]. Epetraborole is currently being clinically developed by AN2 Therapeutics as a once-daily oral treatment for patients with chronic NTM-PD caused by Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) (NCT05327803). |
