Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is the prevention of Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia in mechanically ventilated subjects heavily colonized with S. aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogenic bacterium that causes severe infections, including pneumonia and sepsis. Hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) caused by S. aureus, including ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) in mechanically ventilated subjects, is a significant public health threat despite efforts to optimize antibiotic treatment. ASN100 is an investigational monoclonal antibody product that targets the toxins produced by S. aureus to protect subjects from developing S. aureus pneumonia.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a double-blind, randomized, single-dose, placebo-controlled study of ASN100 for the prevention of S. aureus pneumonia in mechanically ventilated subjects who are heavily colonized with S. aureus. This will be a global study conducted at approximately 65 sites to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ASN100.

Eligible subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be screened by semi-quantitative culture of an endotracheal aspirate (ETA) to identify those who are heavily colonized with S. aureus (3+ to 4+). Upon determination of eligibility, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups, ASN100 or placebo.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Efficacy of a Single Intravenous (IV) Dose of ASN100 [Incidence of S. aureus pneumonia up to but not including Day 22]

      Percentage of subjects in the MITT population who have or have not developed S. aureus (SA) pneumonia after a single intravenous (IV) dose of ASN100, based on sponsor defined outcome (SDO1). For each arm, the empirical proportion is defined by a ratio, which is the number of SA pneumonia events divided by the total number of subjects in the arm. The inference about the difference of two population rates is based on the empirical counterpart; specifically, the point estimate, 95% confidence interval and p-value for the rate difference. Subjects discontinued from the study due to any cause prior to Day 22 were considered as not developing SA pneumonia for the primary efficacy analysis.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Duration of Mechanical Ventilation [21 days]

      Duration of mechanical ventilation during the first 21 days post-randomization for subjects in the Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) Population

    2. Length of ICU Stay [21 days]

      Total length of ICU stay during the first 21 days post-randomization for subjects in the MITT Population

    3. 28-day All-cause Mortality [28 days]

      28-day all-cause mortality in the MITT Population

    4. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) [through day 90]

      The levels of ASN-1 and ASN-2 measured at completion of study medication infusion, and at 6 hr, 24 hr, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 22, and Day 90 (final study visit) in subjects who are hospitalized or are able to return to the clinic for blood sampling.

    5. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) in Serum [through day 90]

      The levels of ASN-1 and ASN-2 measured at completion of study medication infusion, and at 6 hr, 24 hr, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 22, and Day 90 after completion

    6. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Area Under the Concentration-time Curve in Serum [through day 90]

      The levels of ASN-1 and ASN-2 measured at completion of study medication infusion, and at 6 hr, 24 hr, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 22, and Day 90 after completion

    7. ASN-1 and ASN-2 Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) in Serum [through day 90]

    Description Percentage of subjects in the MITT population who have or have not developed S. aureus (SA) pneumonia after a single intravenous (IV) dose of ASN100, based on sponsor defined outcome (SDO1).

    Time Frame Incidence of S. aureus pneumonia up to but not including Day 22

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    MITT: There are 2 SDO definitions. SDO1 meets either respiratory OR signs/symptoms requirements while SDO2 must meet BOTH. Individual assessments for each randomized subject were collapsed to assign a SDO1/SDO2 of Yes, No, Indeterminate (insufficient data to assign a SDO of Yes or No), or Censored (subject died prior to the Day 22 assessment).

    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection ASN100, Placebo
    Comments Subjects were analyzed for efficacy in the group to which they randomized. Sponsor defined outcomes were based on review of microbiology results from samples tested at the central lab. If sample was not sent to the central lab., determination was based on results from the local microbiology lab. In cases where both local & central lab results were available, concordance was confirmed for S. aureus. Therefore, the analysis used local microbiology data in order to utilize a more complete dataset.

Of the 76 subjects who received ASN100, 74 were included in the PK analysis as a result of 2 not having sufficient data. Additional reductions in the number of participants analyzed is due to missing or out of window samples.
    Arm/Group Title ASN-1 ASN-2
    Arm/Group Description ASN100 administered as 2 separate intravenous (IV) infusions ASN100: monoclonal antibody combination of ASN-1 and ASN-2. Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed and reported based on the separate antibodies (i.e. ASN-1 or ASN-2) ASN100 administered as 2 separate intravenous (IV) infusions ASN100: monoclonal antibody combination of ASN-1 and ASN-2.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame 3 months
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Adverse events (AEs) analyzed include treatment-emergent AEs, from the time of randomization through the Day 90 study visit (i.e. last study visit). Only study procedure related AEs were to be reported from the time that informed consent was signed up to randomization, if they were considered to be study procedure related, however no such AEs were reported. Therefore, study procedure related AEs prior to randomization were not analyzed or reported.

    Limitations/Caveats

    An interim analysis of 118 subjects was performed by a DRC to assess S. aureus pneumonia rates and the conditional power to detect a statistically significant treatment effect at study completion (354 subjects). The study was terminated for futility.
