IGNITE4: Results of a Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Prospective Trial of Eravacycline vs Meropenem in the Treatment of Complicated Intraabdominal Infections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing antimicrobial resistance among pathogens that cause complicated intraabdominal infections (cIAIs) supports the development of new antimicrobials. Eravacycline, a novel member of the fluorocycline family, is active against multidrug-resistant bacteria including extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.

Methods

IGNITE4 was a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial. Hospitalized patients with cIAI received either eravacycline 1 mg/kg every 12 hours or meropenem 1 g every 8 hours intravenously for 4-14 days. The primary objective was to demonstrate statistical noninferiority (NI) in clinical cure rates at the test-of-cure visit (25-31 days from start of therapy) in the microbiological intent-to-treat population using a NI margin of 12.5%. Microbiological outcomes and safety were also evaluated.

Results

Eravacycline was noninferior to meropenem in the primary endpoint (177/195 [90.8%] vs 187/205 [91.2%]; difference, -0.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -6.3 to 5.3), exceeding the prespecified margin. Secondary endpoints included clinical cure rates in the modified ITT population (231/250 [92.4%] vs 228/249 [91.6%]; difference, 0.8; 95% CI, -4.1, 5.8) and the clinically evaluable population (218/225 [96.9%] vs 222/231 [96.1%]; (difference, 0.8; 95% CI -2.9, 4.5). In patients with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, clinical cure rates were 87.5% (14/16) and 84.6% (11/13) in the eravacycline and meropenem groups, respectively. Eravacycline had relatively low rates of adverse events for a drug of this class, with less than 5%, 4%, and 3% of patients experiencing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, respectively.

Conclusions

Treatment with eravacycline was noninferior to meropenem in adult patients with cIAI, including infections caused by resistant pathogens.

Project description:Ceftolozane-tazobactam (TOL-TAZ) is a novel antibacterial with activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other common Gram-negative pathogens, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, that are associated with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs). This prospective, double-blind, randomized, multicenter, phase II trial assessed patient clinical and microbiological responses to and the safety of TOL-TAZ plus metronidazole compared with those of meropenem. Hospitalized adults with cIAIs that required surgical intervention were randomized (2:1) to receive intravenous (i.v.) TOL-TAZ (1.5 g [containing 1,000 mg TOL and 500 mg TAZ] every 8 h [q8h]) with or without i.v. metronidazole (500 mg q8h) or i.v. meropenem (1 g q8h) for 4 to 7 days. The primary endpoint was the clinical response at the test-of-cure visit in the microbiologically modified intent-to-treat (mMITT) and microbiologically evaluable (ME) populations. Secondary measures included the patients' microbiological response and safety. In total, 82 patients received TOL-TAZ (90.2% with metronidazole), and 39 received meropenem. For the mMITT population, clinical cure was seen in 83.6% of the patients (51/61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 71.9 to 91.8) who received TOL-TAZ and 96.0% of the patients (24/25; 95% CI, 79.6 to 99.9) who received meropenem (difference, -12.4%; 95% CI, -34.9% to 11.1%); in the ME population, clinical cure was seen in 88.7% and 95.8% of the patients (difference, -7.1%; 95% CI, -30.7% to 16.9%) who received TOL-TAZ and meropenem, respectively. TOL-TAZ demonstrated microbiological success against Escherichia coli (89.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (100%), and P. aeruginosa (100%). The adverse event rates were similar in the groups (50.0% with TOL-TAZ and 48.8% with meropenem). TOL-TAZ in combination with metronidazole was well tolerated and resulted in clinical and microbiological success rates supportive of further clinical development in patients with cIAIs.

Project description:BackgroundComplicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs), often caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria such as carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a critical challenge in ICUs. Owing to their high mortality and treatment failure rates, there is an urgent need for effective therapies. This trial will compare eravacycline to tigecycline for treating cIAIs in patients in the ICU, aiming to provide a superior treatment option.MethodsThis is a multicenter, single-blind, parallel randomized controlled trial. Adult patients in the ICU with complex abdominal infections who meet the eligibility criteria will be included. The main outcome is the all-cause 30-day mortality of patients in clinically evaluable and microbiologically evaluable populations. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of total responsive patients in the clinically evaluable population at the end of treatment and test of cure visits; the proportion of total responsive patients in the microbiologically evaluable population at the end of treatment and test of cure visits; and ICU hospitalization time and costs. Safety assessments include the incidence of various adverse events and changes in clinical laboratory test results. The subjects will be randomly assigned to receive treatment with either eravacycline or tigecycline at a 1:1 ratio. The all-cause mortality rates of patients treated with eravacycline and TGC were 17.7 and 18.7%, respectively, with an estimated actual mortality rate of 0.95. A total sample size of 262 subjects is required to reach 80% power with an α of 0.05. Considering a 10% loss rate, 292 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to the three groups in equal proportions.Ethics and communicationThis trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of Ansteel Group General Hospital.

Project description:Abstract Background Ceftriaxone–sulbactam–EDTA (CSE) is a novel combination being developed to treat serious infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. In vitro molecular biology studies have shown that the addition of EDTA in the combination helps to prevent horizontal gene transfer during conjugation by chelating the divalent magnesium ions (Mg2+) required for the activity of DNA relaxases enzyme. An assessment of acquisition of resistant genes and a concomitant increase in MIC for patients that failed therapy in the Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT03477422) was conducted. Methods MICs were conducted on baseline and post-treatment isolates recovered during treatment period. MICs were determined using CLSI reference methods and MIC changes from baseline were further assessed. Bacterial DNA was extracted by the alkaline lysis method. β-Lactamase (BL) genes were amplified in single PCRs using a panel of primers for detection of most β-lactamase enzymes, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) (blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX-M), metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) (blaVIM, blaNDM, blaIMP), carbapenemases (blaOXA, blaKPC) and class C cephalosporinases (blaAmpC). Results Nine of 143 [2/74 (2.7%) in CSE; 7/69 (10.1%) in MR (meropenem)] patients had a microbiological failure at the TOC visit. Of these nine patients (all E. coli), a variation in the post-treatment genotypic profile was noted for four patients (44.4%) in the MR group and two of these patients also reported a ≥4-fold increase in post-treatment MIC. Both patients harbored four distinct BL genes (blaTEM + blaSHV + blaCTX-M + blaAmpC) at baseline, and had acquired two additional genes (blaOXA, blaKPC), both carbapenemases, as a result of treatment failure (after 6 days and 8 days of IV therapy respectively) with MR. In the first case, MIC increased 16-fold (1 µg/mL to 16 µg/mL for MR and 2 µg/mL to 32 µg/mL for CSE), while in the second case, MIC increased 8-fold (1 µg/mL to 8 µg/mL) for MR and 32-fold (1 µg/mL to 32 µg/mL) for CSE. No such increase in MIC or acquisition of resistant genes was noted in patients that failed therapy with CSE. Conclusion These findings highlight the need for an effective choice of empirical therapy as failed treatments could lead to selection for resistant genes, rendering once susceptible drug non-susceptible.
