Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 4, multi-center, open-label, randomized pragmatic superiority clinical trial comparing two strategies for initial or step-down oral therapy for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therapy. The trial will evaluate the success and safety of a strategy of initial or step-down fosfomycin, administered at a dose of 3 g once daily, vs. a strategy of initial or step-down levofloxacin administered at a dose of 750 mg once daily. Investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy is allowed 1) if the causative pathogen is not susceptible in vitro to quinolone initial or step-down therapy in a subject randomized to the levofloxacin strategy, OR 2) if the subject develops an intolerance or allergy to the initial step-down oral therapy and at the investigator's discretion, OR 3) the subject has an underlying condition posing increasing risk for adverse events from quinolone therapy. The duration of oral therapy (initial + investigator-directed adjustment if indicated) in each strategy is 5-7 days of any per protocol antibiotic to which the pathogen is susceptible. The dosing of oral therapy depends on creatinine clearance (CrCl). The trial will enroll approximately 634 patients that are either male or female aged 18 or older with cUTI from outpatient and inpatient settings. The study will take place over 25 months in up to 15 US sites. The primary objective is to compare Strategy 1 and Strategy 2 in terms of treatment success rates at Test of Cure (TOC).

Phase 4

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 4, multi-center, open-label, randomized pragmatic superiority clinical trial comparing two strategies for initial or step-down oral therapy for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) without bacteremia with a uropathogen after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therapy. The trial will evaluate the success and safety of a strategy of initial or step-down fosfomycin, administered at a dose of 3 g once daily, vs. a strategy of initial or step-down levofloxacin administered at a dose of 750 mg once daily. Investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy is allowed 1) if the causative pathogen is not susceptible in vitro to quinolone initial or step-down therapy in a subject randomized to the levofloxacin strategy, OR 2) if the subject develops an intolerance or allergy to the initial step-down oral therapy and at the investigator's discretion, OR 3) the subject has an underlying condition posing increasing risk for adverse events from quinolone therapy. The duration of oral therapy (initial + subsequent if indicated) in each strategy is 5-7 days of any per protocol antibiotic to which the pathogen is susceptible. The dosing of oral therapy depends on creatinine clearance (CrCl). The trial will enroll approximately 634 patients that are either male or female aged 18 or older with cUTI from outpatient and inpatient settings. The study will take place over 25 months in up to 15 US sites. The primary objective is to compare Strategy 1 and Strategy 2 in terms of treatment success rates at Test of Cure (TOC). The secondary objectives are: 1) to assess the safety of Fosfomycin; 2) to compare Strategy 1 and Strategy 2 in terms of solicited adverse events; 3) to compare Strategy 1 and Strategy 2 in terms of treatment success rates at End of Therapy (EOT).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Strategy 1

Fosfomycin 3 g orally once daily for 5-7 days as initial or step-down oral therapy for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) without bacteremia with a uropathogen after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therapy, and if indicated a subsequent investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy. N=317

Drug: Fosfomycin tromethamine
Administered orally as 3-gram single-dose sachet into 3-4 ounces (1 / 2 cup) of cool water; each dose must be taken immediately after dissolving in water. Hot water should not be used to dissolve fosfomycin. It may be taken either with or without food for normal kidney function. If Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) is less than 20 mL/min, fosfomycin should be taken as 3 grams every other day.

Experimental: Strategy 2

Levofloxacin 750 mg orally once daily for 5-7 days as initial or step-down oral therapy for cUTI without bacteremia with a uropathogen after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therap, and if indicated a subsequent investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy.y. N=317

Drug: Levofloxacin
750 mg is administered orally as one tablet once daily with or without food for normal kidney function. If Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) is 20-49 mL/min, 750 mg should be taken every other day. If on subsequent testing post-randomization, the Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) is less than 20 mL/min, followed by the dose is 500 mg every other day.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Treatment Success at Test of Cure (TOC) [Day 21]

    Treatment success is defined as a combination of clinical cure and microbiological success. Clinical cure is defined as: 1) Resolution of UTI symptoms from presentation and 2) No new UTI symptoms and 3) Avoidance of parenteral antibiotic therapy, in or out of hospital, at any time after randomization OR oral antibiotic therapy different from per protocol. Microbiological success is defined as a reduction of the pathogen found at presentation to <10^4 CFU/mL for non-catheter specimens or <10^3 for catheter specimens on urine culture. A TOC visit was scheduled at 21 days (+7 days) after randomization.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) Grade 2 and Above Among Those Who Received Fosfomycin [Day 1 through Day 12]

    Solicited AEs are AEs that are common following administration of these types of antibiotics. The solicited AEs were collected after first dose of study product was given and until the end of therapy (EOT). If subject is on fosfomycin, solicited AEs were collected for 2 days after last dose of fosfomycin or until EOT, whichever occurs last. The solicited AEs includes insomnia, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, back pain, rhinitis, pharyngitis, allergic reaction, and candidiasis.

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs) Grade 2 and Above Among Those Who Received Fosfomycin [Day 1 through Day 12]

    The unsolicited AEs were collected in participants who received at least two doses of Fosfomycin from the time of second dose of Fosfomycin until the end of therapy (EOT) or 2 days after last dose of Fosfomycin, whichever occurs last.

  3. Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Among Those Who Received at Least Two Doses of Fosfomyci [Day 1 through Day 21]

    SAEs included any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death; was life threatening; was a persistent/significant disability/incapacity; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation or a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Events are included if deemed by the investigator to be related to the study product. SAEs were only recorded in participants receiving at least two doses of fosfomyci.

  4. Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) [Day 1 through Day 21]

    Solicited AEs are AEs that are common following administration of these types of antibiotics. The solicited AEs were collected after first dose of study product was given and until the end of therapy (EOT). If subject is on fosfomycin, solicited AEs were collected for 2 days after last dose of fosfomycin or until EOT, whichever occurs last. The solicited AEs includes insomnia, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, back pain, rhinitis, pharyngitis, allergic reaction, and candidiasis.

  5. Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity [Day 1 through Day 21]

    Solicited AEs are AEs that are common following administration of these types of antibiotics. The solicited AEs were collected after first dose of study product was given and until the end of therapy (EOT). If subject is on fosfomycin, solicited AEs were collected for 2 days after last dose of fosfomycin or until EOT, whichever occurs last. The solicited AEs includes insomnia, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, back pain, rhinitis, pharyngitis, allergic reaction, and candidiasis.

  6. Percentage of Participants Achieving Treatment Success at End of Therapy (EOT) [Day 5 through Day 10]

    Treatment success is defined as a combination of clinical cure and microbiological success. Clinical cure is defined as: 1) Resolution of UTI symptoms from presentation and 2) No new UTI symptoms and 3) Avoidance of parenteral antibiotic therapy, in or out of hospital, at any time after randomization OR oral antibiotic therapy different from per protocol. Microbiological success is defined as a reduction of the pathogen found at presentation to <10^4 CFU/mL for non-catheter specimens or <10^3 for catheter specimens on urine culture. The EOT visit occured within 2 days of the completion of oral therapy.

Arm/Group Title Strategy 1 Strategy 2
Arm/Group Description Fosfomycin 3 grams oral powder once daily for 5-7 days as initial or step-down oral therapy for cUTI without bacteremia with a uropathogen after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therapy, and if indicated a subsequent investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy. Investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy is allowed if the subject develops an intolerance or allergy to the initial step-down oral therapy and at the investigator's discretion, OR the subject has an underlying condition posing increased risk for adverse events from quinolone therapy. The duration of oral therapy (initial + subsequent if indicated) in each strategy is 5-7 days of any per protocol antibiotic to which the pathogen is susceptible. The dosing of oral therapy depends on creatinine clearance (CrCl). Another adequate oral therapy is defined as an oral therapy to which the pathogen shows in-vitro susceptibility AND to which the subject is tolerant based on history AND which is listed below: Levofloxacin 750 mg oral tablet once daily (Strategy 1 only) Amoxicillin-clavulanate 875/125 mg oral tablet twice daily Cefixime 400 mg oral tablet once daily Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX 160/800 mg) double-strength oral tablet twice daily Levofloxacin 750 mg oral tablet once daily for 5-7 days as initial or step-down oral therapy for cUTI without bacteremia with a uropathogen after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therapy, and if indicated a subsequent investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy. Investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy is allowed if the causative pathogen is not susceptible in vitro to quinolone initial or step-down therapy in a subject randomized to the levofloxacin strategy, OR if the subject develops an intolerance or allergy to the initial step-down oral therapy and at the investigator's discretion. The duration of oral therapy (initial + subsequent if indicated) in each strategy is 5-7 days of any per protocol antibiotic to which the pathogen is susceptible.

Adverse Events

Time Frame The solicited events were collected after first dose of study product was given and until the end of therapy (EOT). If subject was on fosfomycin, solicited AEs were collected for 2 days after last dose of fosfomycin or until EOT, whichever occurred last. The unsolicited AEs were collected in participants who received at least two doses of Fosfomycin from the time of second dose of fosfomycin until the end of therapy (EOT) or 2 days after last dose of fosfomycin, whichever occurred last.
Adverse Event Reporting Description Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) were only recorded in participants receiving at least two doses of fosfomycin and were not collected for other interventions. Therefore the at risk population for SAE is a subset of the safety population who received any study drug.
