LB6. Oral Lefamulin Is Safe and Effective in the Treatment of Adults With Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP): Results of Lefamulin Evaluation Against Pneumonia (LEAP 2) Study

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Lefamulin, a first in class pleuromutilin, is being developed as an IV and oral formulation for treating CABP. The second of 2 phase 3 Lefamulin Evaluation Against Pneumonia studies, LEAP 2 (NCT02813694; EudraCT 2015-004782-92) evaluating an oral 5-day regimen, is presented here. LEAP 2 complements the positive results from LEAP 1, an IV-to-oral switch study in patients with PORT Risk Class III-V.

Methods

In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double dummy study, patients with CABP were randomized to oral lefamulin 600 mg q12h for 5 days or moxifloxacin 400 mg q24h for 7 days. Adults with PORT Risk Class II–IV were eligible (≥50% were to have PORT Risk Class III or IV). The US FDA primary endpoint was early clinical response (ECR) (96 ± 24 h af
