Iterum Therapeutics(ITRM) - 2020 Q4 - Annual Report
2021-03-12 13:28
PART I [Business](index=7&type=section&id=Item%201.%20Business) Iterum Therapeutics is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing sulopenem, a novel anti-infective for multi-drug resistant infections, with an NDA for oral sulopenem for uUTIs accepted for priority review - The company's primary focus is the development and commercialization of sulopenem, a penem antibiotic with both oral (sulopenem etzadroxil-probenecid) and IV formulations, targeting urinary tract and intra-abdominal infections[21](index=21&type=chunk) - An NDA for oral sulopenem for the treatment of uUTIs in patients with a quinolone non-susceptible pathogen was submitted in Q4 2020 and accepted for priority review by the FDA in January 2021, with a PDUFA goal date of July 25, 2021, and an advisory committee meeting planned for June 2, 2021[23](index=23&type=chunk)[35](index=35&type=chunk) Phase 3 Trial Primary Endpoint Results | Trial | Indication | Comparator | Primary Endpoint Met? | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | SURE 1 | uUTI (Quinolone-Resistant) | Ciprofloxacin | Yes (Superiority) | | SURE 1 | uUTI (Quinolone-Susceptible) | Ciprofloxacin | No (Non-inferiority) | | SURE 2 | cUTI | Ertapenem / Ciprofloxacin | No (Non-inferiority) | | SURE 3 | cIAI | Ertapenem / Ciprofloxacin+Metronidazole | No (Non-inferiority) | -

The company has a history of net losses, with an accumulated deficit of **$286.9 million** as of December 31, 2020, and anticipates continued losses unless sulopenem is successfully commercialized[19](index=19&type=chunk)[217](index=217&type=chunk) - The business is heavily dependent on the success of the sulopenem program, and failure to obtain marketing approval for oral sulopenem would materially harm the business[19](index=19&type=chunk)[227](index=227&type=chunk)[250](index=250&type=chunk) - Additional capital will be required to fund operations, with existing cash and recent financing estimated to fund operations into the first half of 2023, based on assumptions that may prove wrong[220](index=220&type=chunk)[221](index=221&type=chunk) - The company relies on an exclusive license agreement with Pfizer, and failure to comply with obligations could result in the loss of rights essential to the business[19](index=19&type=chunk)[310](index=310&type=chunk) - The COVID-19 pandemic poses risks that could delay clinical trials, disrupt regulatory activities, and adversely affect business operations and access to financial markets[19](index=19&type=chunk)[422](index=422&type=chunk) [Properties](index=90&type=section&id=Item%202.%20Properties) The company leases office space for its headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, and additional offices in Connecticut and Illinois, with the Dublin headquarters lease terminated effective November 2021 -

As of December 31, 2020, the company had **$14.8 million** in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, with subsequent financing in February 2021 providing aggregate net proceeds of approximately **$74.3 million**, which management believes is sufficient to fund operations into the first half of 2023[522](index=522&type=chunk)[575](index=575&type=chunk) [Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk](index=112&type=section&id=Item%207A.%20Quantitative%20and%20Qualitative%20Disclosures%20About%20Market%20Risk) The company is exposed to interest rate risk from its variable-rate credit facility and foreign currency exchange risk from global contracts, neither of which is currently considered material or hedged - The primary market risk is interest rate risk associated with the secured credit facility from SVB, which has a variable interest rate, where a **100 basis point** change would have impacted net interest expense by approximately **$40,000** in fiscal year 2020[609](index=609&type=chunk) -
