Study summary

A Phase 1, Open-label, Single-dose Study to Determine the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Cefiderocol/Xeruborbactam (S-649228) in Participants with Renal Impairment

Read the detailed description

Qpex Biopharma, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Shionogi Inc., is developing a fixed combination antibiotic of cefiderocol, a cephalosporin antibiotic approved in the US for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) including pyelonephritis, and hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), plus an investigational broad-spectrum beta-lactamase inhibitor (BLI), xeruborbactam (QPX7728) to address the need for new antibiotics for the pathogens deemed as urgent or critical threats.

The aim of this study is to compare single-dose intravenous (IV) pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of the combination of cefiderocol/xeruborbactam (S-649228) in participants with various degrees of stable renal impairment, including those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), to control participants with normal renal function.

The results from this study will enable the development of appropriate dosing recommendations in patients with impaired renal function.

Objectives:

The objectives of the study are:

  1. To assess the impact of mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, and intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) on the PK of IV cefiderocol and IV xeruborbactam given to participants with stable renal impairment, normal renal function, and ESRD receiving IHD therapy.
  2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IV cefiderocol and IV xeruborbactam given to participants with stable renal impairment, normal renal function, and ESRD receiving IHD therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

An individual must not meet any of the following exclusion criteria to be eligible to participate in the study:

  • Plasma or platelet donation within 14 days prior to Day -1.
  • Any acute illness requiring antibiotic drug therapy within 30 days prior to Day -1 or a febrile illness within 7 days prior to Day -1.
  • Vigorous exercise from 72 hours prior to Day -1 through the final FU/EOS Visit.
  • Positive drug test at the Screening Visit or Day -1
  • Positive alcohol test at screening or Day -1 and/or recent history (ie, within 6 months prior to Day -1) of excessive alcohol intake.
  • Concurrent use of medications known to affect the elimination of serum creatinine and competitors of renal tubular secretion
  • Employees of the investigative site involved in this study.
  • Unable or unwilling to adhere to the study-specified procedures and restrictions.
  • QTcF interval > 500 msec, previous history or family history of prolonged QT syndrome at screening or Day -1.
  • Use of products containing alcohol, caffeine, xanthine, or ephedrine within 24 hours prior to Day -1; use of alcohol 48 hours prior to Day -1; use of proton pump inhibitors (eg, omeprazole and pantoprazole) 7 days prior to Day -1, including both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription drugs in these categories; or consumption of grapefruit/grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, pomelo, exotic citrus fruits or grapefruit hybrids or juices containing such products within 7 days prior to Day -1.
