We made key strategic investments to prepare the market over the past 18 months and remain singularly focused on continuing to build a solid foundation for the successful launch of XENLETA. As a result of these efforts, we have already exceeded our expectations for 2019 with regard to market access, scheduled formulary reviews, and product availability at our distributors. With more than 200 hospital formulary reviews scheduled before the end of the year, we believe we are well on our way to exceeding the hospital penetration of recently launched antibiotics. Even more exciting, approximately 50% of all covered lives have outpatient formulary access to XENLETA – the vast majority with no prior authorization or step edits required. Coverage includes both key commercial and Medicare formularies. XENLETA tablets are now available for patient discharge at more than 50% of our initial 900 hospital target accounts. We believe that our extensive pre-commercial launch activities coupled with our distribution channel that utilizes specialty pharmacy partners such as Walgreens Community Specialty Pharmacy and Option Care Health will make it easier for patients to obtain XENLETA,” added Mr. Schroeder.

About Nabriva Therapeutics plc Nabriva Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the commercialization and development of innovative anti-infective agents to treat serious infections. Nabriva Therapeutics received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for XENLETA™ (lefamulin injection, lefamulin tablets), the first systemic pleuromutilin antibiotic for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Nabriva Therapeutics is also developing CONTEPO™ (fosfomycin) for injection, a potential first-in-class epoxide antibiotic for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis. For more information, please visit www.nabriva.com. About XENLETA XENLETA (lefamulin) is a first-in-class semi-synthetic pleuromutilin antibiotic for systemic administration in humans discovered and developed by the Nabriva Therapeutics team. It is designed to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial protein, which is required for bacteria to grow. XENLETA’s binding occurs with high affinity, high specificity and at molecular sites that are different than other antibiotic classes. Efficacy of XENLETA was demonstrated in two multicenter, multinational, double-blind, double-dummy, non-inferiority trials assessing a total of 1,289 patients with CABP. In these trials, XENLETA was compared with moxifloxacin and in one trial, moxifloxacin with and without linezolid. Patients who received XENLETA had similar rates of efficacy as those taking moxifloxacin alone or moxifloxacin plus linezolid. The most common adverse reactions associated with XENLETA included diarrhea, nausea, reactions at the injection site, elevated liver enzymes, and vomiting. INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION INDICATION XENLETA is a pleuromutilin antibacterial indicated for the treatment of adults with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) caused by the following susceptible microorganisms: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates), Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. USAGE To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of XENLETA and other antibacterial drugs, XENLETA should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS XENLETA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to XENLETA or pleuromutilins. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS XENLETA has the potential to prolong the QT interval. Avoid XENLETA in patients with known QT prolongation, ventricular arrhythmias, and patients receiving drugs that may prolong the QT interval. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (=2%) for (a) XENLETA Injection are administration site reactions, hepatic enzyme elevation, nausea, hypokalemia, insomnia, and headache and (b) XENLETA Tablets are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and hepatic enzyme elevation. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS In patients with severe hepatic impairment, reduce the dosage of XENLETA Injection to 150 mg infused over 60 minutes every 24 hours. XENLETA Tablets are not recommended in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment due to insufficient information to provide dosing recommendations. Please see Full Prescribing Information for XENLETA.
