GSK: positive clinical results for gonorrhea
The trial, says the British laboratory in a press release, showed that at a medical visit three to seven days after treatment, its gepotidacin was more effective (92.6%) than the current standard treatment, based on the combination of intramuscular ceftriaxone and oral azithromycin (91.2%).
According to GSK, there are some 82 million new cases of gonorrhea every year, including 648,056 in the United States, equivalent to a 118% jump between 2009 and 2021 according to the CDC.
According to the CDC, half of all cases of gonorrhea are now resistant to at least one antibiotic treatment.
