==> picture [403 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Following the completion of the Global, pivotal, registration-enabling, Phase III study in hospitalized complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) patients, Wockhardt’s Zaynich® has demonstrated the highest-ever efficacy achieving a clinical cure rate of 96.8%.

The study enrolled 529 patients with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) and Acute Pyelonephritis (AP) and was conducted in US, Europe, LATAM, China, India, spanning 64 sites.

In this study, Zaynich® demonstrated superiority over gold standard meropenem, achieving a composite clinical and microbiology cure rate of 89.0% vs 68.4% respectively. These results were based on primary endpoints defined by both the US FDA and EMA.

Wockhardt Limited Registered Office: D-4, MIDC, Chikalthana Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar 431006, India Tel.: +91-22-2653 4444 CIN: L24230MH1999PLC120720

==> picture [178 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

The combined efficacy of Zaynich® is the highest ever recorded among recently approved novel antibiotics developed in more than a decade. The outcome of this study reflects the impact of Zaynich’s novel β-lactam enhancer mechanism of action. Additionally, Zaynich® was well-tolerated and showed a safety profile consistent with β-lactam class of antibiotics, comparable to meropenem.

This study is NDA-enabling, based on which marketing authorization applications will be made to global health authorities including India, US, EMA and MHRA. For India, the DCGI filing for commercial approval was submitted on 31st March 2025. In parallel, preparations for the U.S. New Drug Application (NDA) filing are progressing, marked by the successful completion of a pre-NDA meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Filing in USA is expected by August 2025

Compassionate Use: We have treated 51 patients, including three US Patients, under compassionate use, after receiving approval from DCGI and US FDA. Use of Zaynich[®] resulted in >95% cure and was found

to be safe even when administered up to 95 days.

Meropenem Resistance Clinical

Trial as well as several patients successfully treated under compassionate use in India and US, have reaffirmed the life-saving feature of Zaynich®

MIQNAF® NAFITHROMYCIN, approved and launched on May 27 2025, in India

Wockhardt proudly announces the launch of India’s First Indigenous Respiratory Antibiotic on

May 27 2025 - A Historic Step in the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance and a transformative moment in India’s Antibiotic Research landscape.

This breakthrough ends a wait of over 30 years for a new antibiotic in the macrolide class, at a time when the world faces an escalating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis.

MIQNAF is specifically designed to target both typical and atypical pathogens, offering new hope against multi-drugresistant infections with its Ultra Short Course, three day oral therapy.

==> picture [154 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

With India carrying 23% of the world’s pneumonia burden, MIQNAF’s development comes as a critical solution to current treatment gaps and rising resistance to older antibiotics like azithromycin and co-amoxiclav.

==> picture [154 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

MIQNAF offers high safety and tolerability, with minimal gastrointestinal effects, no significant drug interactions, and no dietary restrictions.

==> picture [116 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

In India, MIQNAF is being strategically introduced to specialists, specifically chest physicians and consulting physicians. To support this targeted approach, a dedicated MIQNAF team has being established to engage with these medical professionals.

The journey of MIQNAF has spanned 14 years of rigorous research and development including clinical trials in the US, Europe, and India.

Company won the prestigious BIRAC INNOVATOR AWARD 2024 from the Government of India for the highest level of innovation and research that lead to successful development of MIQNAF

MIQNAF launch signals India’s leadership in the global response to antimicrobial resistance.

Wockhardt plans to expand MIQNAF’s reach to Saudi Arabia, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa in the near and midterm future.

ERTAPENEM-ZIDEBACTAM (WCK 6777) : WCK 6777 is a once-a-day, β-lactam enhancer-based combination being developed for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) in ambulatory settings. WCK 6777 is the only drug in the global antibiotic pipeline designed for OPAT.

WCK 6777 is active against entire range of meropenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens generally encountered in community as well as in hospital urinary tract infections (UTI) and intra-abdominal infections (IAI). Such a therapeutic option is expected to cut hospital admissions, facilitate early patient discharge and thus offer patient-centred care for MDR infections.

==> picture [176 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

Recognizing its potential to meet significant unmet medical needs, the US FDA has granted Fast Track designation to WCK 6777 for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including pyelonephritis, and complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI).

Results from Phase I study (52 subjects) conducted by National Institutes of Health, US, demonstrated a promising safety profile, with WCK 6777 being well-tolerated, and no serious
