BACTERAEMIA DATA

Ceftazidime/Avibactam Pfizer (ceftazidime and avibactam) has proven clinical efficacy across four Phase III international, randomised, noninferiority trials in 1423 adult patients with HAP/VAP, cIAI* or cUTI1–4REPRISE In the REPRISE Phase III trial, Ceftazidime/Avibactam Pfizer was as effective as best available therapy in patients with cUTI or cIAI caused by Gram-negative pathogens1
Adapted from Carmeli Y, et al. Lancet Infect Dis. 2016.
Baseline pathogens1

Ceftazidime-resistant Enterobacterales (most commonly E. coli or K. pneumoniae) and P. aeruginosa

REPROVE​​​​​​​ In the REPROVE Phase III trial, Ceftazidime/Avibactam Pfizer was as effective as a carbapenem in patients with HAP/VAP caused by Gram-negative pathogens2
*Ceftazidime/Avibactam Pfizer is as effective as a carbapenem when combined with metronidazole in hospitalised patients with Gram-negative cIAIs.4
†Formal statistical comparison not performed; corresponding CIs for the efficacy of best available therapy were used to provide context for descriptive estimates of ceftazidime and avibactam efficacy.1
‡Patients in the mMITT population included all patients who had a diagnosis of cUTI or cIAI with at least one ceftazidime-resistant Gram-negative pathogen, as confirmed by the central laboratory, and who received at least one dose of study drug.1
§Preferred best available therapy options for cUTI and cIAI were 5–21 days of treatment with meropenem, imipenem, doripenem, colistin and (for cIAI) tigecycline, administered intravenously, but any therapy, including combination treatment, was permitted.1
||Non-inferiority was concluded if the lower limit of the 95% CI was greater than -12.5%.2
¶cMITT population comprised patients with minimum disease criteria but excluded patients with only non-target pathogens.2
**The CE population comprised patients in the cMITT population who received an adequate course of treatment and had an assessable clinical outcome within the assessment window, no protocol deviations that could affect the assessment of efficacy, and no unacceptable previous or concomitant antibiotics.2
CE, clinically evaluable; CI, confidence interval; cIAI, complicated intra-abdominal infection; cMITT, clinically modified intention-to-treat; cUTI, complicated urinary tract infection; HAP, hospital-acquired pneumonia; LTO, limited treatment options; mMITT, microbiologically modified intent-to-treat; TOC, test of cure;
VAP, ventilator-associated pneumonia.
