Abstract

Abstract Background Taniborbactam is an investigational β-lactamase inhibitor that restores cefepime (FEP) activity against FEP-, carbapenem-, and multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing serine- and metallo-β-lactamases. Cefepime-taniborbactam (FTB) was superior to meropenem (MEM) for the primary composite endpoint of microbiologic and clinical success at test of cure (TOC) in adults with cUTI in the CERTAIN-1 study (NCT03840148). We assessed outcomes in subsets defined by baseline pathogen resistance phenotype and genotype. Methods Composite, microbiologic and clinical responses at TOC were assessed in the extended microbiologic intent-to-treat (microITT) population (patients with Enterobacterales and/or P. aeruginosa at ≥105 CFU/mL in urine at study entry against which at least 1 study drug had activity [FTB MIC ≤16 µg/mL; MEM MIC ≤2 µg/mL (Enterobacterales) or ≤4 µg/mL (P. aeruginosa)]). Phenotypic subsets included FEP-, multidrug-, and/or carbapenem resistance. Genotypic subsets included carriage of ESBL, extended-spectrum AmpC, plasmidic AmpC, and/or carbapenemase genes. Results For patients in the FTB treatment group with Enterobacterales at baseline, composite, microbiologic, and clinical success rates in resistant subsets were similar to or higher than those overall (Table). FTB achieved composite success in 7/8 patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and in 8/9 patients with Enterobacterales producing a carbapenemase (5 OXA-48-group; 2 KPC-3, 2 NDM-1). FTB achieved composite success in 8/16 patients (clinical success in 13/16 patients) with P. aeruginosa overall; from 1 to 5 patients in the FTB group had P. aeruginosa in defined resistance categories. Conclusion FTB demonstrated efficacy in cUTI patients infected with cefepime-, multidrug-, and carbapenem-resistant pathogens and pathogens carrying ESBL, AmpC, and carbapenemase genes. Rates of success at TOC in each resistance subset were similar to or higher than those overall. These results are consistent with the ability of taniborbactam to restore cefepime activity against cefepime-, multidrug-, and carbapenem-resistant gram-negative pathogens producing serine and metallo-β-lactamases in nonclinical studies.
