Melinta Will Market Baxdela™ Leveraging an Industry-Leading Commercial Sales Team

The Company plans to market Baxdela™ nationwide leveraging an industry-leading commercial sales team. Baxdela™ joins a strong portfolio of infectious disease products that will be marketed by Melinta, including Vabomere™ (meropenem and vaborbactam), Orbactiv® (oritavancin), and Minocin® (minocycline) for injection.

Launch is Enhanced by Availability of Three Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests

Mike McGuire, Senior Vice President of Melinta Commercial, stated that Baxdela™ will be an important treatment option for providers treating serious skin infections in both the hospital and community settings. These patients often present treatment challenges owing to their underlying medical conditions, which makes optimal antibiotic selection difficult. Mike added that the launch has the support of an experienced sales team and is further enhanced by the availability of three antimicrobial susceptibility tests that offer providers a full set of clinical tools to determine how to treat patients appropriately.

FDA Cleared ASTs Concurrent with Baxdela™ Launch in the US

In October 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared three antimicrobial susceptibility tests (ASTs) that would be available to guide physicians towards the appropriate usage of Baxdela™. The three ASTs that were cleared are: Hardy Diagnostics’ Delafloxacin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Disk (HardyDisk™), Liofilchem® Delafloxacin MIC Test Strip (MTS), and Thermo Scientific™ Sensititre™ MIC System. ASTs are used to determine how well specific antibiotics work against bacterial pathogens and they are vital for physicians to understand the appropriate use of an antibiotic.

FDA approved Baxdela™ for the treatment of ABSSSI in adults caused by susceptible bacteria, on June 19, 2017. The Baxdela™ New Drug Application (NDA) approvals were supported by two Phase-3 studies in patients with ABSSSI, demonstrating in-vitro and clinical activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including activity against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

What is Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections?

A skin and skin structure infection (SSSI), also referred to as acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI), is an infection of skin and associated soft tissues (such as loose connective tissue and mucous membranes). The pathogen involved is usually a bacterial species. Such infections often require treatment by antibiotics. ABSSSI includes infections with resistance to previously effective antimicrobials.

About Baxdela™

Baxdela™ (Delafloxacin)is an anionic fluoroquinolone antibiotic, a class currently used in one out of three hospital-treated infections. It was given priority review by the FDA due to its designation as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) under the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act of 2012. Baxdela™ provides for convenient administration with both intravenous and oral forms. The most common adverse reactions in patients treated with Baxdela were nausea, diarrhea, headache, transaminase elevations and vomiting. A FDA-approved patient labeling guide is available for patients taking Baxdela™.
