- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Differentiated pipeline addresses large unmet needs in infectious disease. Spero has three development programs that target multibillion-dollar commercial opportunities. The company’s drugs focus on unmet needs inside and outside the hospital setting. Spero plans to commercialize its products using an accelerated path to market, saving investors time and money. The company’s three leading drugs: 1) SPR994/oral carbapenem, which could be the first new oral therapy for cUTI in 21 years. Unlike competing drugs, SPR994 will be covered outside the hospital formulary, where it will not compete with generics and be part of the bundle. The drug is being developed for UTI, but could also be used for IAI, blood stream infections, and CAP; 2) SPR741 and SPR206/IV potentiators address major unmet needs in the hospital setting and expand the utility of existing antibiotics; and, 3) the SPR720/NTM program is a novel oral bacterial gyrase inhibitor designed to treat a rare lung infection."
