1285. Outcomes in Patients with Gram-Negative Bacteremia from Phase 2 and Phase 3 Clinical Trials of Cefiderocol, a Novel Siderophore Cephalosporin

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Cefiderocol (CFDC) is the first siderophore cephalosporin approved (US and EU) for a broad range of infections caused by Gram-negative (GN) bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (ENT) and non-fermenters (NFs). Bacteremia is a serious manifestation of GN infection and understanding how well an antibiotic works to clear the bacteremia is an important part of drug evaluation.

Methods

All completed clinical studies for CFDC development were used to identify patients with GN bacteremia. Information collected included the primary infection site, species identification and antibiotic susceptibility, post randomization blood cultures and clinical and bacteremia outcome. In patients with missing data (blood cultures) clinical response of cur
