There has been a worldwide increase in the number of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. Highly adaptive pathogens that can develop resistance through several mechanisms, resistant Gram-negative bacteria are a serious global public health concern., as highlighted in the April 30, 2014 World Health Organization report.
Collectively, the common Gram-negative pathogens E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa account for approximately one-third of all pathogens and 70% of all Gram-negative pathogens causing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). These Gram-negative bacteria are common causes of urinary tract and intra-abdominal infections.
Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CBST) reported the first detailed results from positive pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of its antibiotic candidate ceftolozane/tazobactam in development to treat serious infections including complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) and complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI).
In the Phase 3 clinical trial in cUTI, ceftolozane/tazobactam met its primary endpoint of statistical non-inferiority compared to levofloxacin (10% non-inferiority margin).
In the Phase 3 clinical trial in cIAI, ceftolozane/tazobactam, in combination with metronidazole, met both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) primary endpoints of statistical non-inferiority compared to meropenem.
Ceftolozane/tazobactam, an antibiotic candidate being developed to treat certain Gram-negative infections, consists of ceftolozane, a novel cephalosporin that has demonstrated potent in vitro activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with tazobactam, a well-established beta-lactamase inhibitor.
CBST is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products that address significant unmet medical needs in the acute care environment.
