SIRTURO (bedaquiline fumarate)
SIRTURO is indicated for the treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
How SIRTURO Works
Bedaquiline is a diarylquinoline that inhibits mycobacterial ATP (adenosine 5'-triphosphate) synthase, an enzyme essential for energy generation in *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*. It specifically binds to the oligomeric subunit c of the ATP synthase complex, disrupting the proton pump mechanism and leading to bacterial cell death.

How We Calculate These Metrics
Trial Activity Stage
Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.
Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.
- Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
- Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
- Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
- Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
- Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
