Cempra announces positive results from Phase III trial of solithromycin in bacterial pneumonia

5 January 2015

Antibiotic specialist Cempra (Nasdaq: CEMP) has announced positive top-line results from its pivotal Phase III trial of solithromycin oral capsules in the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.

Solithromycin met the primary objective of statistical non-inferiority (where the non-inferiority margin was 10%) of the early clinical response at 72 hours after initiation of treatment, compared to moxifloxacin.

It also met the secondary endpoint of non-inferiority in clinical success at the short-term follow up visit at five to 10 days after the end of treatment, in both the intent-to-treat and evaluable populations.
