EU-IPFF committed to promoting research in Pulmonary Fibrosis

Cefiderocol Pharmacokinetics in Adult Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

Study Purpose

There is established evidence that adult patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) may have altered antibiotic pharmacokinetics compared with non-CF patients. Cefiderocol is a newly approved broad spectrum intravenous siderophore cephalosporin antibiotic, which has potent in vitro activity against multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia complex, Achromobacter species, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, all pathogens implicated in CF pulmonary exacerbations. This study will determine the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of cefiderocol in 12 adult CF patients admitted for a pulmonary exacerbation at one of 4 participating hospitals in the US. Patients will remain on standard of care IV antibiotics and receive 4-6 doses of cefiderocol 2 grams infused over 3 hours every 6-8 hours, depending on kidney function. Blood will be sampled after the final dose to determine concentrations and pharmacokinetics of cefiderocol. Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the 2 day study.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Documented diagnosis of CF.

- Acute pulmonary exacerbation as the primary reason for admission to the hospital with requirement to receive systemic antibiotic treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Females that are pregnant and/or breastfeeding.

- History of any moderate or severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any β-lactam antibiotic (a history of mild rash to a cephalosporin followed by uneventful re-exposure is not a contraindication) - History of a lung transplant at any time in the past or any other organ transplantation (e.g., liver) within the last 6 months.

- Moderate to severe renal dysfunction defined as a creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min (as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation using actual body weight) or requirement for continuous renal replacement therapy or hemodialysis.

- A hemoglobin less than 8 gm/dL at baseline.

- Any rapidly-progressing disease or immediately life-threatening illness (defined as imminent death within 48 hours in the opinion of the investigator)

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05314764
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 4
Lead Sponsor The sponsor is the organization or person who oversees the clinical study and is responsible for analyzing the study data.	Hartford Hospital

Additional Details

Participants will receive 4-6 doses of cefiderocol 2 grams every 6-8 hours, in addition to standard intravenous antibiotic therapy selected by the site. Just prior and then after the final dose, a total of nine blood samples will be collected to measure cefiderocol concentrations. Data will be fit to a population pharmacokinetic model. The final model will be utilized in a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the probability of several different dosing regimens retaining concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for at least 75% of the dosing interval. These data will be utilized to determine an optimized dosing regimen for adults with CF.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Cefiderocol

Participants will receive intravenous cefiderocol at a dosing regimen consistent with the current prescribing information and according estimated renal function. Each dose will be infused over 3 hours.

Interventions

Drug: - Cefiderocol

Patients will receive intravenous cefiderocol every 6 to 8 hours for 4 to 6 doses.
