About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Single-arm, Phase 1 Study to Assess the Intrapulmonary Concentrations of Cefiderocol at Steady State in Hospitalized Subjects With Known or Suspected Bacterial Pneumonia on Treatment With Standard of Care Antibiotics and Requiring Mechanical Ventilation

The primary purpose of the study is to determine the degree of penetration of cefiderocol into infected lung tissue in hospitalized adults with bacterial pneumonia who are being mechanically ventilated.

Being tested
Cefiderocol, Standard of Care Antibiotic
Medical subject headings
Pneumonia, Bacterial

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CefiderocolDrug

    Also called S-649266)

    Administered intravenously, at a dosage determined based on renal function.

  • Standard of Care AntibioticDrug

    Standard of care antibiotic treatment for pneumonia

Study groups in NCT03862040
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CefiderocolExperimentalAll participants were receiving standard of care (SOC) antibiotic treatment for pneumonia. Forty hours after the start of SOC treatment, participants will be administered 2 g doses of cefiderocol (or renally adjusted doses) infused intravenously over 3 hours, every 8 hours (or every 6 hours for participants with augmented renal function), for an expected minimum of 3 doses and up to a total of 6 doses in participants with normal renal function and participants with mild or moderate renal impairment, and for an expected minimum of 6 doses and up to a total of 9 doses in participants with severe renal impairment.
Receives: Drug: Cefiderocol; Drug: Standard of Care Antibiotic

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Concentration of Cefiderocol in Epithelial Lining Fluid

    Samples for determination of cefiderocol concentrations in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) were collected by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) procedure on the inflamed section of the lung (ie, a lobe where pneumonia was expected to be present based on chest radiologic imaging) after multiple doses of cefiderocol sufficient to approximate steady state concentrations in blood. The ELF sample for the determination of cefiderocol concentrations was collected at 3 hours after the start of administration of cefiderocol for the first 4 enrolled participants and at 2 hours after the end of infusion for the following 3 participants.

    Cefiderocol concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), with a lower limit of quantification of cefiderocol in ELF of 0.005 μg/mL. Cefiderocol concentrations in ELF were calculated using cefiderocol concentrations in BAL, adjusted by the ratio of urea concentrations in blood and BAL.

    Measured: At the third dosing (or sixth dosing for participants with severe renal impairment; 16 or 40 hours after first dose, respectively), at 3 hours after the start of the infusion or 2 hours after the end of infusion.

  2. Ratio of the Concentration of Cefiderocol in Epithelial Lining Fluid Relative to Plasma

    The concentration of cefiderocol in ELF to plasma ratio (RC,E/P) represents the penetration of cefiderocol into infected lung tissue.

    ELF and plasma cefiderocol concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The lower limit of quantification of cefiderocol in plasma and ELF was 0.1 μg/mL and 0.005 μg/mL, respectively.

    Measured: At the third dosing (or sixth dosing for participants with severe renal impairment; 16 or 40 hours after start of the first dose, respectively), at 3 hours after the start of the infusion or 2 hours after the end of infusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cefiderocol in people with Bacterial Pneumonia, run by Shionogi at 7 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Nov 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Concentration of Cefiderocol in Epithelial Lining Fluid (time frame: At the third dosing (or sixth dosing for participants with severe renal impairment; 16 or 40 hours after first dose, respectively), at 3 hours after the start of the infusion or 2 hours after the end of infusion.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Nov 2020.
