VIENNA, Austria and KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Aug. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nabriva Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:NBRV), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of novel anti-infective agents to treat serious infections, with a focus on the pleuromutilin class of antibiotics, today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

“We are pleased with the continued progress of our clinical development programs in the second quarter this year, in particular with the initiation of our second, global registrational trial, Lefamulin Evaluation Against Pneumonia (LEAP) 2 in April,” said Dr. Colin Broom, Chief Executive Officer of Nabriva. “In addition, we remain on track for achieving 60% enrollment in LEAP 1 by year-end.
