August 22, 2025 – TenNor Therapeutics (Suzhou) Limited announced that the New Drug Application (NDA) for its first-in-class drug product, Rifasutenizol (TNP-2198) capsules, for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, has been accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China.
Rifasutenizol is the first new molecular entity (NME) specifically developed for H. pylori since the discovery of this pathogen. It features a multi-target synergistic mechanism of action, expected to overcome the resistance issues associated with traditional antibiotics and provide a new treatment option for patients with H. pylori infection. In a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, bismuth-containing quadruple therapy-controlled Phase III clinical trial conducted in China, the Rifasutenizol-based triple therapy regimen demonstrated multiple advantages compared to the currently used bismuth-containing quadruple therapy.
The successful acceptance of the Rifasutenizol NDA marks another significant milestone in TenNor Therapeutics' journey towards commercialization.
