WALTHAM, Mass., April 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ETTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel precision antibacterials to treat serious drug-resistant infections, today announced multiple data presentations on ETX2514SUL and ETX0282CPDP as well as its preclinical non-beta-lactam PBP inhibitor (NBP) program at the 29th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), taking place April 13-16, 2019 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
In addition to two oral presentations and five poster presentations on the scientific program, Entasis Chief Executive Officer Manos Perros, PhD will present in an invitation-only industry panel discussion, “Therapeutics Pipeline Corner,” to discuss Entasis’ unique research and development strategies and updates on its portfolio of precision antibiotics.
"Results from these studies further demonstrate the potent antibacterial activity of our pipeline candidates against specific pathogens and further support the recent initiation of our ATTACK Phase 3 global pivotal trial of ETX2514SUL in patients with Acinetobacter baumannii infections and the continued development of ETX0282CPDP for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacteriaceae urinary tract infections,” said Manos Perros, Chief Executive Officer, Entasis Therapeutics. “We look forward to discussing these new datasets and innovative strategies to combat the critical global issue of antibiotic resistance with the infectious diseases community at ECCMID 2019.”
