The filing details the company's financial position, highlighting an accumulated deficit of $486.1 million as of December 31, 2024, and cash and cash equivalents of $24.1 million. Iterum has identified conditions that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The report outlines the company's strategic focus following positive data from the REASSURE clinical trial and subsequent FDA approval of ORLYNVAH™ for treating uncomplicated urinary tract infections in adult women. Iterum is exploring strategic alternatives, including the sale or licensing of its rights to sulopenem.

Iterum's commercialization strategy for ORLYNVAH™ involves evaluating options for sales, marketing, and distribution, potentially through partnerships or direct commercialization in the United States.
The filing outlines the risks associated with competition, highlighting the presence of other antibiotics and the potential for bacterial resistance to sulopenem, which could impact market acceptance and revenue generation.
