- Expanded Coverage: ORLYNVAH™ now reaches nearly 25% of insured lives in the U.S., with increasing integration into employer groups and payer formularies, which is expected to enhance market penetration significantly.
- Pharmacy Benefit Agreement: Iterum has signed a rebate agreement with a top Medicare Part D Pharmacy Benefit Manager, positioning ORLYNVAH™ for inclusion in their formularies starting Q1 2026, which will greatly improve product accessibility in the market.
- Increased Distribution Channels: ORLYNVAH™ is now stocked at additional distributors like Cencora, allowing physicians to procure the product through various channels, thereby enhancing market availability and procurement flexibility for doctors.
- Patent Expansion: The European Patent Office has indicated its intention to grant a patent covering a bilayer tablet of sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid, projected to expire in December 2039, which strengthens Iterum's intellectual property protection in the anti-infective space.
