Company Overview

Spero Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The company develops therapies for serious bacterial infections and certain rare diseases, with a focus on addressing conditions for which existing treatment options are limited or inadequate.

Spero’s lead program is tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide, an oral carbapenem antibiotic being developed for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections. The company’s pipeline has also included SPR720, an investigational oral therapy for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, and SPR206, an investigational intravenous antibiotic intended for use against serious hospital infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria.

Founded in 2013, Spero has advanced its programs through collaborations and development partnerships, including a former agreement with GlaxoSmithKline. Its research and development activities are primarily focused on the United States, although the potential commercialization of its therapies could involve international markets and partners.
