Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc. shares closed up 12.69% on Monday with nearly 1.8 million shares traded. There was no news from the company yesterday but it was last week that the biotech, which is focused on developing and commercializing novel antibiotics to treat life-threatening multidrug-resistant infections, reported first quarter 2018 financial results. For the quarter the company reported a loss of $21.6 million. A loss of 42 cents a share was a penny shy of the loss of 41 cents that analysts had been expecting. Revenue at $1.9 million was in line however with estimates. CEO Guy Macdonald remarked, "During the first quarter, we revised our eravacycline strategy to focus primarily on the commercialization of the IV formulation of the drug in complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), for which we have submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on the positive results of the IGNITE1 and IGNITE4 phase 3 clinical trials."
"We recently presented data from IGNITE4, in which eravacycline demonstrated statistical non-inferiority to meropenem, at the 28th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID). We believe these data underscore the opportunity for eravacycline to address a critical unmet need in the treatment paradigm for gram-negative, multidrug-resistant infections. We are especially excited to move forward with commercial preparations to bring eravacycline to market as a treatment for cIAI in the second half of 2018, pending U.S. regulatory approval following our PDUFA date of August 28."
