Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Vabomere™, (meropenem-vaborbactam) is being compared to the Best Available Therapy in the treatment of adults with selected serious infections due to Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae

Detailed Description

In the current era of increased resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins and penicillin/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations, carbapenem antimicrobial agents are frequently the antibiotics of "last defense" for the most resistant pathogens in serious infections. However, the recent dissemination of serine carbapenemases (e.g. KPC) in Enterobacteriaceae within many hospitals worldwide now poses a considerable threat to carbapenems and other members of the beta-lactam class of antimicrobial agents.

Infections caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are associated with high mortality rates and have limited treatment options. The loss of the carbapenem class of antimicrobial agents for treatment of Enterobacteriaceae (the most frequently occurring pathogens in the hospital setting), Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa represents a critical setback in modern patient care.

As a result of the current lack of an optimal treatment for patients who have infections due to a CRE, physicians manage these patients with the limited anti-infective options available, including aminoglycosides, polymyxin B, colistin, tigecycline, or various combinations of these. There are limited efficacy data available for many of these therapies when used to treat serious CRE infections, particularly in combination, but with limited or no alternative therapies currently available, such treatments have become the Best Available Therapy despite the toxicities associated with many of them.

Vaborbactam is a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor that has inhibitory activity against many serine beta-lactamases and was optimized for inhibition of the KPC beta-lactamase and the potentiation of carbapenems against Enterobacteriaceae. Vaborbactam is being developed for use with meropenem (a broad spectrum injectable carbapenem antibiotic) to address the challenges of treatment of serious infections caused by pathogens increasingly resistant to available treatments.

Vabomere, (meropenem-vaborbactam) administered as a fixed combination by intravenous (IV) infusion, is being developed to treat serious gram-negative infections, such as complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), acute pyelonephritis (AP), hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), and bacteremia, including those infections caused by bacteria resistant to currently available carbapenems.
