Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Sulopenem: Sulopenem is Iterum's primary product; a novel penem antibiotic. It is designed to be an oral treatment for infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria, initially targeting uUTIs. As of late 2023, sulopenem has not yet been approved by the FDA. Competitors include existing IV antibiotics (e.g., carbapenems) and oral antibiotics (e.g., fluoroquinolones, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) that are facing increasing resistance.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The anti-infectives market is driven by the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. There is a growing need for new antibiotics to combat these resistant infections.
Positioning
Iterum aims to offer an oral alternative to intravenous antibiotics for certain infections. Their competitive advantage lies in potentially offering a more convenient and cost-effective treatment option.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The TAM for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI) is significant, representing a large patient population. Iterum is positioned to capture a portion of this market by providing an oral treatment option for resistant strains. Exact market value is difficult to pinpoint due to competition and pricing pressures, but approximates USD 5 Billion annually.

Competitive Landscape

Summary
Iterum Therapeutics is a high-risk, high-reward pharmaceutical company focused on developing an oral antibiotic to combat multi-drug resistant infections.
