A data table from Feb 2014 Antibiotics Currently in Clinical Development As of February 2014, there are at least 45 new antibiotics1 with the potential to treat serious bacterial infections in clinical development for the U.S. market. The success rate for drug development is low; at best, only 1 in 5 candidates that enter human testing will be approved for patients.* This snapshot of the antibiotic pipeline will be updated periodically as products advance or are known to drop out of development.

Antibiotics include products containing at least one component not approved in the United 4. Certain antibiotics intended to treat serious or life-threatening infections can be designated by States previously. All analyses were strictly limited to systemic antibiotics (drugs that work the Food and Drug Administration as qualified infectious disease products, or QIDPs. QIDPs are throughout the body) and drugs to treat Clostridium difficile-associated disease. The Centers eligible to receive benefits under the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now Act (signed into law for Disease Control and Prevention cited Clostridium difficile as an urgent public health threat as part of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act), including expedited FDA in a 2013 report (Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 2013, Sept. 16, 2013, http:// review and extended exclusivity for approved products. www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/threat-report-2013/pdf/ar-threats-2013-508.pdf).
