Investor presentation summary
17 Feb, 2026Product overview and market need
ORLYNVAH™ is the first and only FDA-approved oral penem antibiotic for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UUTIs), launched in August 2025 and indicated for adult women with limited or no alternative oral antibacterial options.
The product targets a significant U.S. market with approximately 40 million UUTI prescriptions annually, with about 26 million for at-risk patients such as the elderly, diabetics, or those with recurrent infections.
ORLYNVAH™ addresses the growing threat of multi-drug resistant bacteria and offers a novel solution for at-risk patients who previously relied on IV therapies.
The tablet combines sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid, is patent-protected, and offers protection into 2039 in the U.S. and key international markets.
High resistance rates to existing oral therapies and safety concerns highlight the need for new options like ORLYNVAH™.
Clinical efficacy and safety
ORLYNVAH™ demonstrated non-inferiority and statistical superiority to Augmentin® in certain populations and higher response rates compared to ciprofloxacin in quinolone-resistant infections.
In pivotal Phase 3 trials, ORLYNVAH™ showed favorable safety, with most adverse events being mild and low rates of serious adverse events.
The product is administered as one tablet twice daily for five days.
Clinical experience post-launch has been positive, especially for women with recurrent infections and those seeking to avoid hospital admissions.
Commercial performance and market access
Q3 2025 product sales reached $0.4M, with over 250 unique physician prescribers and a 40% prescription fill rate expected to rise as payer coverage expands.
Two major commercial contracts and two top Medicare Part D rebate agreements have been secured, providing coverage opportunities for over 81 million lives starting January 2026.
The sales force targets the top decile of UUTI prescribers, representing about 8 million prescriptions annually, and specialty distribution is in place for broader access.
High interest from key opinion leaders and group practices is driving follow-up discussions and early adoption.
