Some of the key facts of the Acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infection Market Report:

• In April 2024, the U.S. FDA approved Zevtera (ceftobiprole medocaril sodium), a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic, for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections (ABSSSI) in adults. This approval provides healthcare providers with an additional option for addressing serious infections caused by a range of bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Zevtera received priority review, fast track, and qualified infectious disease product designations from the FDA, highlighting its potential to meet unmet medical needs in ABSSSI treatment. Approval was based on data from four randomized controlled trials, in which 91.3% of patients receiving Zevtera achieved an early clinical response (within 48–72 hours), compared with 88.1% in the comparator group.

• Earlier, in July 2021, the FDA approved AbbVie's DALVANCE (dalbavancin) for treating ABSSSI in pediatric patients, including newborns. MRSA-related hospitalizations were highest among the elderly, with 360.8 stays per 100,000 patients over 65 years, over three times higher than other age groups. Rates for other groups included 114.7 per 100,000 infants, 19.2 per 100,000 children aged 1–17, 58.1 per 100,000 adults aged 18–44, and 111.5 per 100,000 adults aged 45–64.

• Historical data indicate that ABSSSI accounted for nearly 870,000 hospital admissions in the U.S. in 2004, reflecting a ~30% increase over four years. Between 2005 and 2011, adult ABSSSI admissions increased by 17.3%, with patients predominantly male (50.8%), white (60.3%), and a mean age of 55.7 years.

• The ABSSSI market is expected to evolve with new treatment options, regulatory changes, and shifts in healthcare spending, potentially increasing competition among pharmaceutical companies and improving patient outcomes. Key players, including DALVANCE (dalbavancin), ORBACTIV, MRX-4, ZEVTERA (ceftobiprole), and others, are actively developing new therapies. Promising treatments under investigation, such as DALVANCE, ORBACTIV, MRX-4, and Zevtera, are expected to further enhance the ABSSSI treatment landscape.

Acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infection Overview

Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin-Structure Infection (ABSSSI) refers to a group of bacterial infections that affect the skin and underlying soft tissues. The severity of these infections can vary, typically presenting with symptoms such as redness, warmth, localized swelling, and sometimes pus formation. The most common causative pathogens include Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA strains), Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as other Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infection Market Outlook

Treatment of ABSSSI aims to relieve symptoms, enhance quality of life, halt disease progression, and prevent recurrence. Initial therapy typically involves oral antibiotics targeting streptococcal infections, particularly in cases of cellulitis. However, the increasing prevalence of MRSA has necessitated adjustments in treatment strategies. For mild, non-purulent infections, commonly used antibiotics include penicillin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, dicloxacillin, cephalexin, and clindamycin.

For MRSA-related infections, both oral and intravenous options are available, including sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, clindamycin, minocycline, doxycycline, vancomycin, daptomycin, linezolid, ceftaroline, and telavancin. These MRSA-specific antibiotics are particularly important when infections result from penetrating trauma, such as intravenous drug use. Selection and duration of therapy are guided by infection severity, patient characteristics, and patterns of antibiotic resistance.

Newer antibiotics, including DALVANCE, ORBACTIV, and SIVEXTRO, have been developed to target MRSA, offering long half-lives that allow less frequent dosing and improve patient adherence. Oritavancin, a lipoglycopeptide with a novel mechanism of action, provides an additional option with single-dose administration, broad-spectrum coverage-including MRSA-and the potential to simplify treatment and enhance compliance.

Ongoing research continues to advance ABSSSI management, aiming to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare burdens. According to DelveInsight, the ABSSSI market is expected to undergo significant evolution between 2020 and 2034.
