Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 25, 2024, Iterum Therapeutics plc (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved ORLYNVAH™ (sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid) for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (“uUTIs”) caused by the designated microorganisms Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Proteus mirabilis in adult women who have limited or no alternative oral antibacterial treatment options. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The Company will host a conference call to discuss the FDA approval of ORLYNVAH™ on Monday, October 28, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The conference call replay will be available in the Events & Presentations section of the Company’s website following the call.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information set forth in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 25, 2024, the Company announced that the FDA approved ORLYNVAH™ for the treatment of uUTIs caused by the designated microorganisms Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Proteus mirabilis in adult women who have limited or no alternative oral antibacterial treatment options. This is the first approved indication for ORLYNVAH™ and the first FDA-approved product for the Company.
The FDA approval of ORLYNVAH™ was based on a clinical development program supported by a robust data package, including two pivotal, Phase 3 clinical trials (known as SURE 1 and REASSURE) that evaluated the safety and efficacy of ORLYNVAH™ compared to ciprofloxacin (SURE 1) and Augmentin™ (REASSURE) in the treatment of adult women with uUTI. SURE 1 showed superiority to ciprofloxacin in fluoroquinolone res#istant infections, while REASSURE showed non-inferiority and statistical superiority to AugmentinTM in the AugmentinTM susceptible population. ORLYNVAH™ was generally well tolerated in both SURE 1 and REASSURE clinical trials.
UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections encountered in the community. uUTIs are infections of the bladder occurring mainly in women. Up to 60% of women will have an uUTI in their lifetime. Up to 40% of women with a history of uUTI will have a recurrence of their infection. There are approximately 40 million uUTIs prescriptions generated annually in the United States, and the Company's estimate approximately 1% of those infections are caused by pathogens that are resistant to all commonly available classes of oral antibiotics. Rising antibiotic resistance, an aging population with comorbidities and sub-optimal safety profiles of existing oral treatment options are making antibiotic selection more challenging for treating physicians.
The Company expects to renew its efforts to achieve a strategic transaction involving ORLYNVAH™ with the goal of maximizing value for its stakeholders. The Company has previously engaged an investment bank to advise it in this process. The Company cannot provide any commitment regarding when or if this strategic review process will result in any type of transaction and no assurance can be given that the Company will complete a potential sale, strategic partnership or licensing arrangement. In the event the Company's strategic process does not result in any type of transaction, and subject to the Company's ability to raise sufficient capital to fund operations, the Company may seek a commercial partner and/or look to commercialize oral sulopenem in the United States directly with a targeted sales force in the community setting.

EXHIBIT 99.1
Iterum Therapeutics Receives U.S. FDA Approval of ORLYNVAH™ (Oral Sulopenem) for the Treatment of Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections
ORLYNVAH™ is the first oral penem approved for use in the U.S. and the second FDA-approved treatment for uUTIs in the past two decades
--Company to Host Conference Call on Monday, October 28th at 8:30 a.m. EDT--
DUBLIN, Ireland and CHICAGO, October 25, 2024 -- Iterum Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: ITRM) (Iterum), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Iterum’s new drug application for ORLYNVAH™ (sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid) for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) caused by the designated microorganisms Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Proteus mirabilis in adult women who have limited or no alternative oral antibacterial treatment options. This is the first approved indication for ORLYNVAH™ and the first FDA-approved product for Iterum.
“We are so pleased to have achieved this historic milestone and would like to thank all the patients, investigators, Iterum colleagues and Iterum consultants and vendors who participated in the development of ORLYNVAH™. ORLYNVAH™ offers new hope for patients suffering from difficult-to-treat uUTIs. The introduction of novel products, like ORLYNVAH™, is an important way to combat antimicrobial resistance to other approved oral agents and offers a potential solution to patients and physicians,” said Corey Fishman, Iterum’s Chief Executive Officer. “As the first oral penem approved in the U.S., ORLYNVAHTM offers an excellent alternative treatment option for appropriate patients in the underserved uUTI market. With FDA approval and a clear label, we will renew our efforts to achieve a strategic transaction involving ORLYNVAH™ with the goal of maximizing value for our stakeholders.”
The FDA approval of ORLYNVAH™ was based on a clinical development program supported by a robust data package, including two pivotal, Phase 3 clinical trials (known as SURE 1 and REASSURE) that evaluated the safety and efficacy of ORLYNVAH™ compared to ciprofloxacin (SURE 1) and Augmentin™ (REASSURE) in the treatment of adult women with uUTI. SURE 1 showed superiority to ciprofloxacin in fluoroquinolone resistant infections, while REASSURE showed non-inferiority and statistical superiority to AugmentinTM in the AugmentinTM susceptible population. ORLYNVAH™ was generally well tolerated in both SURE 1 and REASSURE clinical trials.
“The FDA approval of ORLYNVAH™ is tremendous news for those of us who have been hoping for a new option to treat appropriate at-risk patients suffering from UTIs”, said Marjorie Golden, MD, FIDSA, Site Chief, Infectious Disease, St. Raphael Campus Yale New Haven Hospital. “Based on the totality of clinical data generated, ORLYNVAH™ has the potential to be an important treatment alternative for use in the community.”

About uUTIs
UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections encountered in the community. uUTIs are infections of the bladder occurring mainly in women. Up to 60% of women will have a uUTI in their lifetime. Up to 40% of women with a history of uUTI will have a recurrence of their infection. There are approximately 40 million uUTI prescriptions generated annually in the United States, and we estimate approximately 1% of those infections are caused by pathogens that are resistant to all commonly available classes of oral antibiotics. Rising antibiotic resistance, an aging population with comorbidities and sub-optimal safety profiles of existing oral treatment options are making antibiotic selection more challenging for treating physicians.
About ORLYNVAH™
ORLYNVAH™ is a novel oral penem antibiotic for the treatment of uUTI. ORLYNVAH™ possesses potent activity against species of Enterobacterales including those that encode extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) or AmpC-type beta-lactamases that confer resistance to third generation cephalosporins.
INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
INDICATIONS & USAGE
ORLYNVAHTM a combination of sulopenem etzadroxil, a penem antibacterial, and probenecid, a renal tubular transport inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of uUTI caused by the designated microorganisms Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Proteus mirabilis in adult women who have limited or no alternative oral antibacterial treatment options.
Limitations of Use
ORLYNVAHTM is not indicated for the treatment of:
• Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) or as step-down treatment after intravenous antibacterial treatment of cUTI.
• Complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) or as step-down treatment after intravenous antibacterial treatment of cIAI.
Usage to Reduce Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of ORLYNVAHTM and other antibacterial drugs, ORLYNVAHTM should be used only to treat uUTI that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. Culture and susceptibility information should be utilized in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy.
