GSK plc

**Summary**
GSK plc announced on December 11, 2025, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved **Blujepa (gepotidacin)**, a first-in-class oral antibiotic, for the treatment of **uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea (uGC)** in adults and adolescents aged 12 and older weighing at least 45 kg. This approval marks the first new antibiotic class for gonorrhoea in over three decades, offering a much-needed alternative to injectable treatments.
**Key Highlights**
**Innovation** Blujepa is the first new class of antibiotics for gonorrhoea since 1987, addressing the urgent need for new treatments due to rising antimicrobial resistance.
**Indication** Approved for patients with limited or no alternative treatment options, such as those intolerant to or unwilling to use first-line injectable therapies.
**Clinical Evidence** Positive results from the **EAGLE-1 Phase III trial** demonstrated non-inferiority to the standard of care (ceftriaxone + azithromycin) with a favorable safety profile.
**Public Health Impact** Gonorrhoea, caused by *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*, is a priority pathogen for the WHO and an urgent public health threat in the U.S., with over 600,000 cases reported in 2023.
**Mechanism** Gepotidacin inhibits bacterial DNA replication through a novel mechanism, providing activity against resistant strains.
**Funding** Development was partially funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense.
This approval underscores GSK’s commitment to addressing infectious diseases and combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), with gepotidacin also approved earlier in 2025 for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI).
**Media and Investor Contacts**
GSK provided contact details for media and investor relations inquiries, emphasizing the significance of this milestone in infectious disease treatment.

**Summary**
GSK plc announced on December 11, 2025, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved **Blujepa (gepotidacin)**, a first-in-class oral antibiotic, for the treatment of **uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea (uGC)** in adults and adolescents aged 12 and older weighing at least 45 kg. This approval marks the first new antibiotic class for gonorrhoea in over three decades, offering a much-needed alternative to injectable treatments.
**Key Highlights**
**Innovation** Blujepa is the first new class of antibiotics for gonorrhoea since 1987, addressing the urgent need for new treatments due to rising antimicrobial resistance.
**Indication** Approved for patients with limited or no alternative treatment options, such as those intolerant to or unwilling to use first-line injectable therapies.
**Clinical Evidence** Positive results from the **EAGLE-1 Phase III trial** demonstrated non-inferiority to the standard of care (ceftriaxone + azithromycin) with a favorable safety profile.
**Public Health Impact** Gonorrhoea, caused by *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*, is a priority pathogen for the WHO and an urgent public health threat in the U.S., with over 600,000 cases reported in 2023.
**Mechanism** Gepotidacin inhibits bacterial DNA replication through a novel mechanism, providing activity against resistant strains.
**Funding** Development was partially funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense.
This approval underscores GSK’s commitment to addressing infectious diseases and combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), with gepotidacin also approved earlier in 2025 for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI).
**Media and Investor Contacts**
GSK provided contact details for media and investor relations inquiries, emphasizing the significance of this milestone in infectious disease treatment.

**Summary**
East Star Resources Plc (LSEEST), a Kazakhstan-focused gold and base metals explorer, has signed a binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) with Hong Kong Xinhai Mining Services Limited (Xinhai), a leading global EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) company, to establish a joint venture (JVCo) for the development of the Verkhuba Copper Deposit. Under the agreement, Xinhai will farm into the project in five stages, investing up to US$65 million to advance Verkhuba to production, potentially earning up to 70% equity in the JVCo. East Star will retain 30% ownership and will not require further funding to become a copper producer. The deal de-risks and accelerates Verkhubas development while allowing East Star to focus on other exploration projects, including its Rulikha and Talovskoye prospects, and a $25 million+ strategic gold exploration joint venture with Endeavour Mining. The agreement highlights East Stars asset value and positions the company for significant growth in Kazakhstans mining sector.

Blujepa approved in US for gonorrhoea indication

GSK plc

**Summary**
GSK plc announced on December 11, 2025, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved **Blujepa (gepotidacin)**, a first-in-class oral antibiotic, for the treatment of **uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea (uGC)** in adults and adolescents aged 12 and older weighing at least 45 kg. This approval marks the first new antibiotic class for gonorrhoea in over three decades, offering a much-needed alternative to injectable treatments.
**Key Highlights**
**Innovation** Blujepa is the first new class of antibiotics for gonorrhoea since 1987, addressing the urgent need for new treatments due to rising antimicrobial resistance.
**Indication** Approved for patients with limited or no alternative treatment options, such as those intolerant to or unwilling to use first-line injectable therapies.
**Clinical Evidence** Positive results from the **EAGLE-1 Phase III trial** demonstrated non-inferiority to the standard of care (ceftriaxone + azithromycin) with a favorable safety profile.
**Public Health Impact** Gonorrhoea, caused by *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*, is a priority pathogen for the WHO and an urgent public health threat in the U.S., with over 600,000 cases reported in 2023.
**Mechanism** Gepotidacin inhibits bacterial DNA replication through a novel mechanism, providing activity against resistant strains.
**Funding** Development was partially funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense.
This approval underscores GSK’s commitment to addressing infectious diseases and combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), with gepotidacin also approved earlier in 2025 for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI).
**Media and Investor Contacts**
GSK provided contact details for media and investor relations inquiries, emphasizing the significance of this milestone in infectious disease treatment.
