Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of KSP-1007 Alone and Coadministered With Meropenem in Healthy Subjects

Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are responsible for serious, life-threatening infections and are regarded as an urgent threat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organizations. One principal mechanism of carbapenem resistance is bacterial production of carbapenemases, which reduce the effectiveness of meropenem and other carbapenem class antibiotics. Sumitovant Biopharma is developing a fixed combination of meropenem and KSP-1007 for the treatment of serious bacterial infections.
