Resumen

Phase 3 study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of aztreonam- avibactam (ATM- AVI) versus best available therapy (BAT) in the treatment of hospitalized adults with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), nosocomial pneumonia (NP) including hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), or bloodstream infections (BSI) due to metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)- producing Gram-negative bacteria.

Descripción detallada

This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label, parallel group, comparative study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of aztreonam- avibactam (ATM- AVI) versus best available therapy (BAT) in the treatment of hospitalized adults with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), nosocomial pneumonia (NP) including hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), or bloodstream infections (BSI) due to metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)- producing Gram-negative bacteria. The study will randomize approximately 60 subjects in a 2:1 randomization scheme (ATM-AVI: BAT) with infections due to MBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria. Molecular testing at the central microbiology laboratory will be performed to confirm the MBL status of the organism upon study completion or at pre-designated intervals. The study will consist of a Screening Visit (Visit 1), a Baseline visit (Visit 2) on Day 1 of the study treatment, ongoing treatment visits (Visits 3 to 15) from Day 2 to Day 14, an End of Treatment (EOT) visit (Visit 16) within 24 hours after the last infusion, a Test of Cure (TOC) visit (Visit 17) on Day 28 (±3 days) and a Late Follow Up (LFU) visit (Visit 18) on Day 45 (±3 days). Subjects will be stratified at randomization based on infection type (cIAI, HAP/VAP, cUTI or BSI). The number of subjects with cUTI will be no more than approximately 75% of the study population. After obtaining written informed consent and confirming eligibility, subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the ATM AVI treatment arm or the BAT treatment arm according to a central randomization schedule (approximately 40 (ATM AVI) and approximately 20 (BAT) subjects per group). The duration of treatment is 5 to 14 days for cIAI, cUTI and BSI and 7 to 14 days for HAP/VAP. Each subject is expected to complete the study, including the LFU visit. The precise duration of treatment will be determined by the investigator based on the subject's severity of infection and subsequent response to treatment. For subjects randomized to ATM AVI treatment arm, sparse blood samples will be collected for population pharmacokinetic (PK) assessments and PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) relationships will be evaluated in subjects where plasma samples and microbiological response data have been collected.

Intervenciones

combination_product

ATM-AVI

ATM-AVI doses (loading, extended loading and maintenance) and the dosing frequency of the maintenance dose are dependent on renal function. Subjects will be given a loading dose of 500 mg ATM plus 167 mg AVI or 675 mg ATM plus 225 mg AVI over a period of 30 minutes. This treatment will immediately be followed by an extended loading dose of 1500 mg ATM plus 500 mg AVI or 675 mg ATM plus 225 mg AVI over a period of 3 hours. Then there will be a 3 hour or 5 hour gap. Subjects will receive a maintenance dose of 1500 mg ATM plus 500 mg AVI every 6 hours or 750 mg ATM plus 250 mg AVI every 6 hours, or 675 mg ATM plus 225 mg AVI every 8 hours. Subjects with cIAI will also receive Metronidazole (MTZ) 500 mg IV q8h over 60 minutes. The first dose of MTZ will be started immediately after the extended loading dose of ATM-AVI has completed and treatment will be continued until the end of the treatment period.

BAT

The comparator treatment in this study is best available therapy (BAT) based upon site practice and local epidemiology. The choice of BAT (monotherapy or combination) for each subject must be recorded prior to randomization. If the chosen BAT does not provide adequate anaerobic coverage for cIAI subjects MTZ is to be administered as a co therapy. BAT dose, frequency, dose adjustments with renal impairment will be based on per local package inserts.
