Financially, Iterum reported a net loss of $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an improvement from the $12.4 million loss in the same period of the previous year.

Iterum’s cash and cash equivalents stood at $24.1 million at the end of 2024, expected to support operations into the second half of 2025.
Iterum also expanded its patent estate with a new allowance from the Australian Patent Office, expected to bolster its intellectual property portfolio. This progress, alongside ongoing pre-commercialization activities, positions the company favorably for future market opportunities.
Looking ahead, Iterum Therapeutics is focused on strategic partnerships and pre-commercialization efforts for ORLYNVAH™, aiming to address significant unmet medical needs in the market. The company’s management remains optimistic about leveraging its strong patent portfolio and financial stability to enhance its market presence and shareholder value.
