ABSTRACT In the phase 3 ASPECT-NP trial (NCT02070757), ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) was noninferior to meropenem for treatment of Gram-negative ventilated hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (vHABP/VABP). Here, we report outcomes in participants from ASPECT-NP with renal impairment (RI). Participants were categorized by their baseline renal function as follows: normal renal function (NRF; creatinine clearance [CLCR], ≥80 ml/min), mild RI (CLCR, >50 to <80 ml/min), moderate RI (CLCR, ≥30 to ≤50 ml/min), and severe RI (CLCR, ≥15 to <30 ml/min). Dosing of both study drugs was adjusted based on renal function. The following C/T doses were administered every 8 h: NRF or mild RI, 3 g; moderate RI, 1.5 g; and severe RI, 0.75 g. The primary and key secondary endpoints were day 28 all-cause mortality (ACM) and clinical response at the test-of-cure visit in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, respectively. In the ITT population, day 28 ACM rates for the C/T arm versus the meropenem arm were 17.6% versus 19.1% (NRF), 36.6% versus 28.6% (mild RI), 31.4% versus 38.5% (moderate RI), and 35.3% versus 61.9% (severe RI). Rates of clinical cure in the ITT population for the C/T arm versus the meropenem arm were 58.1% versus 58.5% (NRF), 54.9% versus 45.5% (mild RI), 37.1% versus 42.3% (moderate RI), and 41.2% versus 47.6% (severe RI). Small sample sizes in the RI groups resulted in large 95% confidence intervals (CIs), limiting conclusive interpretation of the analysis. Both drugs were well tolerated across all renal function groups. Overall, these results support the use of the study dosing regimens of C/T for treatment of vHABP/VABP in patients with RI. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02070757.)

Abstract Background Hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) are associated with high mortality rates. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of tedizolid (administered as tedizolid phosphate) for treatment of gram-positive ventilated HABP/VABP. Methods In this randomized, noninferiority, double-blind, double-dummy, global phase 3 trial, patients were randomized 1:1 to receive intravenous tedizolid phosphate 200 mg once daily for 7 days or intravenous linezolid 600 mg every 12 hours for 10 days. Treatment was 14 days in patients with concurrent gram-positive bacteremia. The primary efficacy end points were day 28 all-cause mortality (ACM; noninferiority margin, 10%) and investigator-assessed clinical response at test of cure (TOC; noninferiority margin, 12.5%) in the intention-to-treat population. Results Overall, 726 patients were randomized (tedizolid, n = 366; linezolid, n = 360). Baseline characteristics, including incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (31.3% overall), were well balanced. Tedizolid was noninferior to linezolid for day 28 ACM rate: 28.1% and 26.4%, respectively (difference, –1.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: –8.2 to 4.7). Noninferiority of tedizolid was not demonstrated for investigator-assessed clinical cure at TOC (tedizolid, 56.3% vs linezolid, 63.9%; difference, –7.6%; 97.5% CI: –15.7 to 0.5). In post hoc analyses, no single factor accounted for the difference in clinical response between treatment groups. Drug-related adverse events occurred in 8.1% and 11.9% of patients who received tedizolid and linezolid, respectively. Conclusions Tedizolid was noninferior to linezolid for day 28 ACM in the treatment of gram-positive ventilated HABP/VABP. Noninferiority of tedizolid for investigator-assessed clinical response at TOC was not demonstrated. Both drugs were well tolerated. Clinical Trials Registration NCT02019420.

Abstract Background Ceftolozane/tazobactam is approved for treatment of hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) at double the dose approved for other infection sites. Among nosocomial pneumonia subtypes, ventilated HABP (vHABP) is associated with the lowest survival. In the ASPECT-NP randomized, controlled trial, participants with vHABP treated with ceftolozane/tazobactam had lower 28-day all-cause mortality (ACM) than those receiving meropenem. We conducted a series of post hoc analyses to explore the clinical significance of this finding. Methods ASPECT-NP was a multinational, phase 3, noninferiority trial comparing ceftolozane/tazobactam with meropenem for treating vHABP and VABP; study design, efficacy, and safety results have been reported previously. The primary endpoint was 28-day ACM. The key secondary endpoint was clinical response at test-of-cure. Participants with vHABP were a prospectively defined subgroup, but subgroup analyses were not powered for noninferiority testing. We compared baseline and treatment factors, efficacy, and safety between ceftolozane/tazobactam and meropenem in participants with vHABP. We also conducted a retrospective multivariable logistic regression analysis in this subgroup to determine the impact of treatment arm on mortality when adjusted for significant prognostic factors. Results Overall, 99 participants in the ceftolozane/tazobactam and 108 in the meropenem arm had vHABP. 28-day ACM was 24.2% and 37.0%, respectively, in the intention-to-treat population (95% confidence interval [CI] for difference: 0.2, 24.8) and 18.2% and 36.6%, respectively, in the microbiologic intention-to-treat population (95% CI 2.5, 32.5). Clinical cure rates in the intention-to-treat population were 50.5% and 44.4%, respectively (95% CI − 7.4, 19.3). Baseline clinical, baseline microbiologic, and treatment factors were comparable between treatment arms. Multivariable regression identified concomitant vasopressor use and baseline bacteremia as significantly impacting ACM in ASPECT-NP; adjusting for these two factors, the odds of dying by day 28 were 2.3-fold greater when participants received meropenem instead of ceftolozane/tazobactam. Conclusions There were no underlying differences between treatment arms expected to have biased the observed survival advantage with ceftolozane/tazobactam in the vHABP subgroup. After adjusting for clinically relevant factors found to impact ACM significantly in this trial, the mortality risk in participants with vHABP was over twice as high when treated with meropenem compared with ceftolozane/tazobactam.

Abstract Background: Lanreotide autogel is a somatostatin analog (SSA) approved for the treatment of acromegaly in 73 countries worldwide; however, it is not yet approved in China. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lanreotide autogel compared with lanreotide 40 mg prolonged release (PR) in Chinese patients with active acromegaly. Methods: LANTERN was a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority study. Patients with active acromegaly who had undergone surgery ≥3 months prior, or were unlikely or unable to undergo surgery, were treated with lanreotide autogel 60/90/120 mg (monthly deep subcutaneous injection) or lanreotide 40 mg PR (intramuscular injection every 7, 10, or 14 days) for 32 weeks. Primary endpoint was mean change-from-baseline in age-adjusted insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) standard deviations scores (SDS) at the end-of-study. Secondary endpoints included: growth hormone (GH) levels ≤2.5 µg/L or ≤1.0 µg/L, ≥20% reduction in tumor volume (TV) and safety. Results: In total, 128 patients were randomized and received study treatment. Lanreotide autogel was non-inferior to lanreotide 40 mg PR: treatment difference (95% CI) for IGF-1 SDS between groups was −0.32 (−0.74, 0.11; per protocol population) and −0.27 (−0.63, 0.09; intention-to-treat [ITT] population), respectively. Reductions in IGF-1 (−6.453 vs −7.003) and GH levels (−9.548 µg/L vs −13.182 µg/L), and the proportion of patients with ≥1 acromegaly symptom (−20.3% vs −32.5%) were observed from baseline to end-of-study in lanreotide autogel and lanreotide 40 mg PR groups, respectively. In the lanreotide autogel group, 45.5% (25/55) patients achieved ≥20% reduction in TV compared with 50.9% (25/53) in lanreotide 40 mg PR group (ITT). Safety profiles were similar in both treatment groups. Conclusions: Lanreotide autogel was non-inferior to lanreotide 40 mg PR in Chinese patients with active acromegaly after 32 weeks of treatment.

Abstract Background The randomized, double-blind, phase 3 ASPECT-NP trial evaluated the efficacy of 3 g of ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) versus 1 g of meropenem infused every 8 h for 8 to 14 days for treatment of adults with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP). We assessed the probability of target attainment and compared efficacy outcomes from ASPECT-NP in participants with augmented renal clearance (ARC) versus those with normal renal function. Methods Baseline renal function was categorized as normal renal function (creatinine clearance 80–130 mL/min) or ARC (creatinine clearance > 130 mL/min). Population pharmacokinetic models informed Monte Carlo simulations to assess probability of target attainment in plasma and pulmonary epithelial lining fluid. Outcomes included 28-day all-cause mortality and clinical cure and per-participant microbiologic cure rates at the test-of-cure visit. Results A > 99% and > 80% probability of target attainment was demonstrated for ceftolozane and tazobactam, respectively, in simulated plasma and epithelial lining fluid. Within treatment arms, 28-day all-cause mortality rates in participants with normal renal function (C/T, n = 131; meropenem, n = 123) and ARC (C/T, n = 96; meropenem, n = 113) were comparable (data comparisons presented as rate; treatment difference [95% CI]) (C/T: normal renal function, 17.6%; ARC, 17.7%; 0.2 [− 9.6 to 10.6]; meropenem: normal renal function, 20.3%; ARC, 17.7%; − 2.6 [− 12.6 to 7.5]). Clinical cure rates at test-of-cure were also comparable across renal function groups within treatment arms (C/T: normal renal function, 57.3%; ARC, 59.4%; − 2.1 [− 14.8 to 10.8]; meropenem: normal renal function, 59.3%; ARC, 57.5%; 1.8 [− 10.6 to 14.2]). Per-participant microbiologic cure rates at test-of-cure were consistent across renal function groups within treatment arms (C/T: normal renal function, 72.2% [n/N = 70/97]; ARC, 71.4% [n/N = 55/77]; 0.7 [− 12.4 to 14.2]; meropenem: normal renal function, 75.0% [n/N = 66/88]; ARC, 70.0% [n/N = 49/70]; 5.0 [− 8.7 to 19.0]). Conclusions C/T and meropenem resulted in 28-day all-cause mortality, clinical cure, and microbiologic cure rates that were comparable between participants with ARC or normal renal function. In conjunction with high probability of target attainment, these results confirm that C/T (3 g) every 8 h is appropriate in patients with HABP/VABP and ARC.

e13037 Background: Ribociclib is an orally administered CDK4/6 inhibitor used in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) to treat women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2–negative advanced breast cancer (ABC). An integrative assessment was conducted to evaluate the effect of renal function on the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy and safety of ribociclib. Methods: To assess the effect of mild and moderate renal impairment, a subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate PK parameters of ribociclib following oral administration of 600 mg QD 3 weeks on/1 week off in two Phase 1/2 and one Phase 3 clinical trials. Steady-state PK exposures in ABC patients at the 600 mg dose was estimated by a population PK model developed based on a pooled dataset from five Phase 1 to 3 trials and were compared by renal function. Efficacy and safety were also analyzed by renal function in a Phase 2 and three Phase 3 trials in ABC patients. The effect of severe renal impairment on ribociclib PK was assessed in a Phase I study in non-cancer subjects following a single oral 400 mg dose. Results: PK analyses in cancer patients showed that both single-dose and steady-state exposure of ribociclib at the 600 mg dose in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment were comparable to patients with normal renal function. Estimated steady-state PK exposure in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment is also comparable to patients with normal renal function. The primary efficacy results of progression free survival (PFS) and the safety profiles were comparable across renal-function cohorts in ABC patients. In non-cancer subjects administered a single oral dose of 400 mg, ribociclib AUCinf and Cmax increased 2.67- and 2.30-fold in subjects with severe renal impairment, respectively, compared to subjects with normal renal function. Conclusions: PK, efficacy and safety of ribociclib are consistent across patients with normal renal function, mild or moderate renal impairment. Hence, no dose adjustment is required in mild or moderate renal impaired patients. Severe renal impaired patients are recommended to have a reduced dose based on PK data in non-cancer subjects.

ABSTRACT An extensive clinical development program (comprising two phase 2 and five phase 3 trials) has demonstrated the efficacy and safety of ceftazidime-avibactam in the treatment of adults with complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI), complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). During the phase 3 clinical program, updated population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling and Monte Carlo simulations using clinical PK data supported modified ceftazidime-avibactam dosage adjustments for patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (comprising a 50% increase in total daily dose compared with the original dosage adjustments) to reduce the risk of subtherapeutic drug exposures in the event of rapidly improving renal function. The modified dosage adjustments were included in the ceftazidime-avibactam labeling information at the time of initial approval and were subsequently evaluated in the final phase 3 trial (in patients with HAP, including VAP), providing supportive data for the approved U.S. and European ceftazidime-avibactam dosage regimens across renal function categories. This review describes the analyses supporting the ceftazidime-avibactam dosage adjustments for renal impairment and discusses the wider implications and benefits of using modeling and simulation to support dosage regimen optimization based on emerging clinical evidence.

Abstract Background ASPECT-NP, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study, evaluated C/T (at double the approved dose for other indications) vs. meropenem (MEM) in adults with ventilated nosocomial pneumonia. We compared safety and efficacy outcomes from this trial among patients with and without renal impairment (RI). Methods Patients were stratified by age and diagnosis and were randomized 1:1 to intravenous (IV) C/T 3 g every 8 h or IV MEM 1 g every 8 h. Study drug was administered for 8–14 days; doses were adjusted for moderate and severe RI. Eligible patients were mechanically ventilated; those on renal replacement therapy or with creatinine clearance (CrCL) < 15 mL/minute were excluded. Key efficacy endpoints included clinical cure rates at the test of cure (TOC) visit in the intent-to-treat (ITT) and clinically evaluable (CE) populations and Day 28 all-cause mortality (ACM) in the ITT population. In this analysis, patients were stratified based on renal function for outcome comparisons: normal renal function (CrCL ≥ 80 mL/minute); mild RI (CrCL > 50 to < 80 mL/minute); moderate RI (CrCL ≥ 30 to ≤ 50 mL/minute); and severe RI (CrCL ≥ 15 to < 30 mL/minute). Results A total of 726 patients were enrolled (C/T, N = 362; MEM, N = 364). Clinical cure rates at the TOC visit (CE and ITT populations) were robust across CrCL subgroups in both treatment arms and were similar based on 95% confidence intervals for treatment differences that included 0 (table). Day 28 ACM rates for patients with moderate and severe RI were numerically higher than those with mild RI in the MEM treatment arm. Rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were similar in both treatment arms and across CrCL subgroups, with rates generally increasing with increasing RI severity. Rates of treatment-related TEAEs were low across treatment arms and CrCL subgroups with no treatment-related deaths reported. Conclusion Similar clinical cure and Day 28 ACM rates at the TOC visit were found across treatment groups for all CrCL subgroups, consistent with the overall primary and key secondary efficacy results for the ASPECT-NP study. Both drugs were well-tolerated. The results of this analysis indicate that the use of dose-adjusted C/T is appropriate in patients with nosocomial pneumonia and moderate or severe RI.

683 Background: In the RAS wt population of TAILOR, adding cet to 1L F significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and overall response rate (ORR). In this subgroup analysis, we evaluate the impact of TL. Methods: TAILOR is a randomized phase 3 trial that includes a modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population of 393 pts from China with RASwt mCRC treated with F ± cet. The primary endpoint of TAILOR is PFS; key secondary endpoints include OS and ORR. TL was categorized in evaluable pts in the mITT population (left-sided = splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum; right-sided = appendix, cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, ± transverse colon). Results: Efficacy data for the TL subgroups are summarized in the table. Additionally, the prognostic effect of TL (left- vs right-sided) within the treatment arms could be shown for PFS (HR = 1.72; p = .007), OS (HR = 1.84; p = .002), and ORR (OR = 0.40; p = .014) in the cet + F arm and PFS (HR = 1.97; p = .002), OS (HR = 1.43; p = .073), and ORR (OR = 0.41; p = .028) in the F arm. Regarding the potential predictive value of TL, the p values for the interaction between TL and treatment are: PFS (.676), OS (.339), and ORR (.986). Conclusions: In TAILOR, adding cet to 1L F clearly benefitted RAS wt pts with left-sided tumors in terms of PFS, OS, and ORR; for pts with right-sided tumors, the HRs for PFS and the ORs for ORR also consistently suggested a benefit showing a trend in favor of cet.
