DUBLIN, Ireland, Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nabriva Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: NBRV), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of innovative anti-infective agents to treat serious infections, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the New Drug Applications (NDAs) and granted a priority review for both the intravenous (IV) and oral formulations of lefamulin, a potentially first-in-class, semi-synthetic pleuromutilin antibiotic, for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). The acceptance of lefamulin’s two NDAs indicates that the FDA has deemed both applications sufficiently complete to allow a substantive review.

In addition to priority review, lefamulin has been granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations by the FDA.
