Eravacycline is a novel, fully-synthetic tetracycline approved by the FDA for treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections in August 2018. This study sought to characterise early clinical experience with this novel antibiotic. Eravacycline utilisation for 66 patients was retrospectively evaluated. Eravacycline was used as monotherapy in 62.1% of cases. Mean duration of therapy was 13.1 ± 9.9 days. The majority (68.2%) of treatment was for off-label indications, including 34.8% for pulmonary and 28.8% for skin/soft tissue infections. A number of difficult-to-treat organisms were encountered: 50% of identified Gram-negative pathogens were resistant to carbapenems in vitro; and 48% of identified Gram-positive pathogens were resistant to vancomycin in vitro. The patient population had a high illness acuity, with 42.4% requiring ICU admission, 59.1% having ≥2 co-morbidities and 33.3% having ≥3 co-morbidities. Nevertheless, 95.5% experienced clinical improvement, with 86.4% achieving full infection resolution following eravacycline. Three patients who did not experience clinical improvement had an intra-abdominal source of infection without adequate source control. The remaining six who did not experience full infection resolution died from unrelated non-infectious causes during hospital admission. Adverse events were uncommon (4.5%), limited to nausea/vomiting, and not leading to eravacycline discontinuation. Although two patients had a history of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), no patients developed CDI while receiving eravacycline. These results illustrate the potential versatility of eravacycline with a broad activity spectrum, good safety and tolerability profile, flexibility for use in patients with renal injury or antibiotic allergies, and positive clinical outcomes in this real-world cohort.
