AZM X mg

Celltrion · Phase 3 active Small molecule Under review

AZM X mg is a Macrolide antibiotic Small molecule drug developed by Celltrion. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Community-acquired pneumonia, Chronic bronchitis, Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit.

AZM X mg is a small molecule used in a clinical study to treat Essential Hypertension. The study, conducted by Celltrion, compares the efficacy and safety of AZM X mg combined with different doses of AML (MG-S-2525) to AZM X' mg combined with AML Y mg.

Confidence: High
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 3 → approval rate +58.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 3 drugs reach approval ~58.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Anti-infectives pathway favourability +2.0pp
    Microbiological endpoints + non-inferiority designs raise approval rates above baseline.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)

Mechanism of action

Azithromycin works by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, which prevents the formation of peptide bonds and ultimately inhibits protein synthesis. This leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Azithromycin is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
