WALTHAM, Mass., April 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ETTX), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel antibacterial products, today announced that the company will deliver multiple data presentations on sulbactam-durlobactam (SUL-DUR) at the upcoming European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) annual conference, to be held April 23-26, 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal.  

Among the seven presentations on SUL-DUR, Entasis Therapeutics will deliver two oral presentations and three posters on the topline results from its ATTACK trial—a global Phase 3 registrational trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of SUL-DUR versus colistin in patients with infections caused by Acinetobacter and the first trial to evaluate an investigational agent targeting a specific drug-resistant Gram-negative pathogen.
