Zinforo®: High clinical cure rate and evidence of rapid response in CAP
Clinical cure rates: FOCUS 1 and 2
FOCUS 1 and 2 trials: Two Phase III, randomised, double-blind, multinational, multicentre, non-inferiority trials comparing Zinforo (600 mg IV every 12 hours, adjusted for moderate renal impairment) vs ceftriaxone (1 g IV every 24 hours)2
Zinforo has proven efficacy in CAP patients…

… and high early clinical response rates at Day 4, including for Streptococcus pneumoniae infections.3‡
Zinforo delivers high cure rates in patients with severe disease, risk factors for difficult-to-treat infections and a number of comorbidities2

||The lower limit of the 95% CI was above –10%, which met the predefined criteria for non-inferiority.7 Zinforo was well tolerated with a safety profile similar to that of ceftriaxone.7
‡Zinforo may be associated with early clinical response, based on clinical stability and symptom improvement criteria. Early clinical response does not predict final clinical outcome for Zinforo.
