Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Sanfetrinem cilexetil was developed by GlaxoSmithKline in the 1990s and progressed to clinical evaluation as a treatment for bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract. Its development was halted based on commercial considerations. More recently, drug repurposing efforts have identified the potential of sanfetrinem cilexetil as a treatment for TB [2]. The drug has completed a Phase 2 trial to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and early bactericidal activity (EBA) in adult participants with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB (NCT05388448). |
