ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To investigate pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety (primary objectives) and efficacy (secondary objective) of the investigational monobactam/?-lactamase inhibitor combination aztreonam/avibactam in patients with complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI). METHODS:This Phase 2a open-label, multicentre study (NCT02655419; EudraCT 2015-002726-39) enrolled adults with cIAI into sequential cohorts for 5-14?days treatment. Cohort 1 patients received an aztreonam/avibactam loading dose of 500/137?mg (30?min infusion), followed by maintenance doses of 1500/410?mg (3?h infusions) q6h; Cohort 2 received 500/167?mg (30?min infusion), followed by 1500/500?mg (3?h infusions) q6h. Cohort 3 was an extension of exposure at the higher dose regimen. Doses were adjusted for creatinine clearance of 31-50?mL/min (Cohorts 2?+?3). All patients received IV metronidazole 500?mg q8h. PK, safety and efficacy were assessed. RESULTS:Thirty-four patients (Cohort 1, n?=?16; Cohorts 2?+?3, n?=?18) comprised the modified ITT (MITT) population. Mean exposures of aztreonam and avibactam in Cohorts 2?+?3 were consistent with those predicted to achieve joint PK/pharmacodynamic target attainment in >90% patients. Adverse events (AEs) were similar between cohorts. The most common AEs were hepatic enzyme increases [n?=?9 (26.5%)] and diarrhoea [n?=?5 (14.7%)]. Clinical cure rates at the test-of-cure visit overall were 20/34 (58.8%) (MITT) and 14/23 (60.9%) (microbiological-MITT population). CONCLUSIONS:Observed AEs were consistent with the known safety profile of aztreonam monotherapy, with no new safety concerns identified. These data support selection of the aztreonam/avibactam 500/167?mg (30?min infusion) loading dose and 1500/500?mg (3?h infusions) maintenance dose q6h regimen, in patients with creatinine clearance >50?mL/min, for the Phase 3 development programme.
