1281. Longitudinal and Spatial Variation in the Human Microbiome in a Phase 2a Clinical Study of Gepotidacin in Adult Females with Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Gepotidacin (GSK2140944) is a first in class novel oral triazaacenaphthylene bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor. In this study, we evaluated the potential impact of orally administered gepotidacin on the human microbiome, across three body-sites and at three specific time-points, as an exploratory endpoint in a Phase 2a clinical trial for the treatment of uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection (uUTI) (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03568942).

Methods

Through DNA sequencing of the 16S rRNA variable region 4, we analyzed samples collected with consent from study subjects from the gastrointestinal tract or GIT (stool), pharyngeal cavity (saliva swabs) and vagina (vaginal swabs). Samples were taken at three time points which were pre-dosing (Day 1), end of dosing (D
