Lefamulin, a pleuromutilin antibiotic approved for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP), was evaluated for microbiological efficacy in a prespecified pooled analysis of LEAP 1 and 2 phase 3 clinical trial data in patients with CABP.
In LEAP 1, adults (PORT risk class III‒V) received intravenous (IV) lefamulin 150 mg every 12 h (q12h) for 5‒7 days or moxifloxacin 400 mg every 24 h (q24h) for 7 days, with optional IV-to-oral switch. In LEAP 2, adults (PORT II‒IV) received oral lefamulin 600 mg q12h for 5 days or moxifloxacin 400 mg q24h for 7 days. Primary outcomes were early clinical response (ECR) at 96 ± 24 h after treatment start and investigator assessment of clinical response (IACR) 5‒10 days after the last dose. Secondary outcomes included ECR and IACR in patients with a baseline CABP pathogen (detected via culture, urinary antigen testing, serology and/or real-time PCR).
Baseline CABP pathogens were detected in 709/1289 patients (55.0%; microbiological intention-to-treat population). The most frequently identified pathogens were Streptococcus pneumoniae (61.9% of patients) and Haemophilus influenzae (29.9%); 25.1% had atypical pathogens and 33.1% had polymicrobial infections. Pathogens were identified most frequently by PCR from sputum, followed by culture from respiratory specimens. In patients with baseline CABP pathogens, ECR rates were 89.3% (lefamulin) and 93.0% (moxifloxacin); IACR success rates were 83.2% and 86.7%, respectively. Results were consistent across CABP pathogens, including drug-resistant isolates and polymicrobial infections.
Lefamulin is a valuable IV and oral monotherapy option for empirical and directed CABP treatment in adults.
lefamulin 是一种截短侧耳素类抗生素,已获批准用于治疗社区获得性细菌性肺炎(CABP),本研究旨在评估其在 LEAP 1 和 2 两项 3 期临床试验的预设汇总分析中的微生物学疗效,这些研究均入组了 CABP 患者。
在 LEAP 1 研究中,PORT 风险分类 III-V 级的成年患者接受静脉注射(IV) lefamulin 150 mg,每 12 小时 1 次(q12h),疗程 5-7 天,或莫西沙星 400 mg,每日 1 次(q24h),疗程 7 天,可选择 IV 至口服的转换。在 LEAP 2 研究中,PORT II-IV 级的成年患者接受口服 lefamulin 600 mg,每 12 小时 1 次,疗程 5 天,或莫西沙星 400 mg,每日 1 次,疗程 7 天。主要终点为治疗开始后 96±24 小时的早期临床应答(ECR)和末次给药后 5-10 天的研究者评估的临床应答(IACR)。次要终点包括基线 CABP 病原体患者的 ECR 和 IACR(通过培养、尿抗原检测、血清学和/或实时 PCR 检测到)。
在 1289 例患者中(微生物学意向治疗人群),709 例(55.0%)患者的基线 CABP 病原体可被检出。最常见的病原体为肺炎链球菌(61.9%的患者)和流感嗜血杆菌(29.9%);25.1%的患者存在非典型病原体,33.1%的患者存在混合感染。最常通过痰液 PCR 检测到病原体,其次是呼吸道标本培养。在基线 CABP 病原体患者中,lefamulin 的 ECR 率为 89.3%,莫西沙星为 93.0%;IACR 成功率分别为 83.2%和 86.7%。结果在 CABP 病原体中一致,包括耐药分离株和混合感染。
lefamulin 是一种有价值的 IV 和口服单药治疗选择,可用于治疗成人经验性和靶向性 CABP。
