Meropenem-vaborbactam is a fixed-dose combination product of a carbapenem and a cyclic boronic acid β-lactamase inhibitor with potent in vitro activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). The efficacy of meropenem-vaborbactam for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and acute pyelonephritis was demonstrated in a Phase III trial (TANGO I). Preliminary data from TANGO II, a separate Phase III study, support the efficacy of meropenem-vaborbactam for the treatment of infections caused by CRE. Overall, meropenem-vaborbactam appears to be safe and well tolerated. It has favorable toxicity, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles compared with other antibiotics with activity against CRE. Meropenem-vaborbactam is an important addition to the current armamentarium of antimicrobial agents with activity against K. pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing CRE.
美罗培南-法硼巴坦是一种碳青霉烯类药物和一种环状硼酸β-内酰胺酶抑制剂的固定剂量组合产品,对产碳青霉烯酶的碳青霉烯类耐药肠杆菌科(CRE)具有强大的体外活性。美罗培南-法硼巴坦治疗复杂性尿路感染和急性肾盂肾炎的疗效在 III 期临床试验(TANGO I)中得到了证实。来自单独的 III 期研究 TANGO II 的初步数据支持美罗培南-法硼巴坦治疗 CRE 引起的感染的疗效。总的来说,美罗培南-法硼巴坦似乎安全且耐受良好。与其他具有抗 CRE 活性的抗生素相比,它具有良好的毒性、药代动力学和药效学特征。美罗培南-法硼巴坦是对抗产碳青霉烯酶肺炎克雷伯菌的现有抗菌药物武器库的重要补充。
