Empiric treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) represents a clinical challenge because of the diverse bacteriology and the emergence of bacterial resistance. The efficacy and safety of tigecycline (TGC), a first-in-class, expanded broad-spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic, were compared with imipenem/cilastatin (IMI/CIS) in patients with cIAI.
In this prospective, double-blind, phase 3, multinational trial, patients were randomly assigned to intravenous (i.v.) TGC (100 mg initial dose, then 50 mg every 12 h) or i.v. IMI/CIS (500/500 mg every 6 h) for 5-14 days. Clinical response was assessed at the test-of-cure (TOC) visit (14-35 days after therapy) for microbiologically evaluable (ME) and microbiologically modified intent-to-treat (m-mITT) populations (co-primary efficacy endpoint populations in which cure/failure response rates were determined).
Of 817 mITT patients (i.e., received > or = 1 dose of study drug), 641 (78%) comprised the m-mITT cohort (322 TGC, 319 IMI/CIS) and 523 (64%) were ME (266 TGC, 256 IMI/CIS). Patients were predominantly white (88%) and male (59%) with a mean age of 49 years. The primary diagnoses for the mITT group were complicated appendicitis (41%), cholecystitis (22%), and intra-abdominal abscess (11%). For the ME population, clinical cure rates at TOC were 91.3% (242/265) for TGC versus 89.9% (232/258) for IMI/CIS (95% CI -4.0, 6.8; P<0.001). Corresponding clinical cure rates within the m-mITT population were 86.6% (279/322) for TGC versus 84.6% (270/319) for IMI/CIS (95% CI -3.7, 7.5; P<0.001 for noninferiority TGC versus IMI/CIS). The most commonly reported adverse events for TGC and IMI/CIS were nausea (17.6% TGC versus 13.3% IMI/CIS; P=0.100) and vomiting (12.6% TGC versus 9.2% IMI/CIS; P=0.144).
TGC is efficacious in the treatment of patients with cIAIs and TGC met per the protocol-specified statistical criteria for noninferiority to the comparator, IMI/CIS.
由于复杂腹腔内感染(cIAI)的细菌学多样且细菌耐药性不断出现,其经验性治疗面临临床挑战。将首个获批的、具有扩大的广谱抗菌活性的甘氨酰环素类抗生素替加环素(TGC)与亚胺培南/西司他丁(IMI/CIS)在cIAI患者中的疗效及安全性进行比较。
在这项前瞻性、双盲、3期、多国试验中,患者被随机分配接受静脉注射TGC(首剂100mg,随后每12小时50mg)或静脉注射IMI/CIS(每6小时500/500mg),疗程5 - 14天。在治疗结束访视(TOC,治疗后14 - 35天)时对微生物学可评估(ME)人群和微生物学改良意向性治疗(m - mITT)人群(确定治愈/失败反应率的共同主要疗效终点人群)评估临床反应。
在817例意向性治疗(ITT)患者(即接受≥1剂研究药物)中,641例(78%)构成m - mITT队列(322例TGC,319例IMI/CIS),523例(64%)为ME人群(266例TGC,256例IMI/CIS)。患者主要为白人(88%)和男性(59%),平均年龄49岁。ITT组的主要诊断为复杂性阑尾炎(41%)、胆囊炎(22%)和腹腔内脓肿(11%)。对于ME人群,TOC时TGC的临床治愈率为91.3%(242/265),而IMI/CIS为89.9%(232/258)(95%CI -4.0,6.8;P<0.001)。m - mITT人群中TGC和IMI/CIS相应的临床治愈率分别为86.6%(279/322)和84.6%(270/319)(TGC相对于IMI/CIS非劣效性的95%CI -3.7,7.5;P<0.001)。TGC和IMI/CIS最常报告的不良事件为恶心(TGC为17.6%,IMI/CIS为13.3%;P = 0.100)和呕吐(TGC为12.6%,IMI/CIS为9.2%;P = 0.144)。
TGC在治疗cIAI患者中有效,且根据方案规定的统计标准,TGC相对于对照药物IMI/CIS具有非劣效性。
