Indirect Therapeutic
Spero’s lead program, SPR741, also called Potentiator, is a platform approach to combination therapy to treat multi-drug resistant Gram-negative infections, such as Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumannii, including carbapenem-resistant strains.

As a part of the CARB-X program, Spero will be screening antibiotic partners for SPR741, with the goal of identifying at least one partner to take through Phase 1 clinical trials.
