Spero Therapeutics announced a poster presentation at IDWeek 2024 showcasing in vitro data on SPR719, the active moiety of SPR720, for treating nontuberculous mycobacterium pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). The study, conducted with Microbiologics, revealed:
1. SPR719's low propensity for resistance development in MAC NTM-PD strains, both alone and combined with standard care antibiotics.
2. High potency against macrolide susceptible and resistant MAC strains.
3. Mutation frequencies about 3 orders of magnitude lower than standard of care comparators.
4. No antagonism when combined with clarithromycin or ethambutol.
These findings highlight SPR720's potential for prolonged combination regimens in NTM-PD treatment.
Spero Therapeutics (Nasdaq: SPRO) has published data from its Phase 1 clinical trial assessing the intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics of SPR719, the active moiety of SPR720, in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. The study, involving 33 healthy subjects, showed significant lung uptake and enhanced concentrations of SPR719 in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and alveolar macrophages (AM).
Key findings include:
- SPR719 concentrations in ELF and AM were greater than total plasma concentrations
- No unexpected safety issues were observed
- Results support further investigation of SPR720 as a potential oral treatment for Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM-PD)
The company will present additional data on microbial resistance against SPR719 at IDWeek in October 2024.
