Clinical Trial Summary

The study proposes a planned, double-blind, non-inferiority clinical trial involving patients with febrile neutropenia and risk of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) infection. The goal is: - Analyze the efficacy and tolerability of Ceftolozane/tazobactam (CEF/TAZ) compared to the current standard of care (meropenem) in patients with febrile neutropenia and risk of ESBL infection. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive CEF/TAZ or meropenem, with assessment of clinical response, toxicity and microbiological evolution. Stool samples will be collected before, during and after treatment for intestinal microbiota analysis and intestinal microbiome analysis to evaluate possible effects on GVHD. Analysis of the results will include the taxonomic classification of the organisms present. Data will be analyzed to assess non-inferiority in clinical response, incidence of GVHD, antimicrobial resistance and other outcomes.

Eligibility Inclusion criteria: - Individuals who present with the onset of febrile neutropenia and at the same time present colonization with an ESBL-producing pathogen (identified through positive routine rectal swabs and/or positive culture of clinical specimen) or risk of infection with an ESBL-producing pathogen (use of 3rd/4th gen cephalosporin or piperacillin/tazobactam for at least 48 hours in the last 30 days). Exclusion Criteria: - Patients known to be colonized with carbapenem-resistant or CEF/TAZ-resistant pathogens - Patients with previous use of carbapenems for at least 48h in the past 30 days are also excluded due to risk of resistance to the study drugs. - Growth of a pathogen resistant to either study drug in a relevant clinical specimen during the intervention phase will be followed by adjustment of therapy according to local protocol, unblinding, and exclusion from the study. - Patients that have received less than 72h of either study drug will also be excluded from the final analyses.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response of Clinical Cure at the End-of-Therapy (EOT) Visit in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population To compare the clinical response rates at the EOT visit for ceftolozane/tazobactam versus meropenem. Clinical response at the EOT visit was defined as cure (complete resolution of fever and symptoms related to Febrile Neutropenia episode), failure (non-resolution, relapse or recurrence of Febrile Neutropenia) or indeterminate (no evaluable study data). A favorable clinical response is a clinical cure. A missing clinical response will be considered indeterminate. Within 24 hours after last dose of study drug (Up to ~Day 15)
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response of Clinical Cure at the End-of-Therapy (EOT) Visit in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population To compare the clinical response rates at the EOT visit for ceftolozane/tazobactam versus meropenem in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population. Clinical response at the EOT visit was defined as cure (complete resolution of fever and symptoms related to Febrile Neutropenia episode), failure (non-resolution, relapse or recurrence of Febrile Neutropenia) or indeterminate (no evaluable study data). A favorable clinical response is a clinical cure. A missing clinical response will be considered indeterminate. 7 to 14 days after last dose of study drug (Up to ~Day 30)
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response of Clinical Cure at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population To demonstrate the non-inferiority of ceftolozane/tazobactam versus meropenem in participants with Febrile Neutropenia on Patients Colonized With or at Risk for Infection With Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase - Producing Pathogens at the TOC visit (7 to 14 days after the end-of-therapy [EOT] visit) using a non-inferiority margin of 12.5%. Clinical response at the TOC visit was defined as cure (complete resolution of fever and symptoms related to Febrile Neutropenia), failure (non-resolution, relapse or recurrence of Febrile Neutropenia) or indeterminate (no evaluable study data). A favorable clinical response is a clinical cure. A missing clinical response will be considered indeterminate unless the clinical outcome at the EOT visit was failure. 7 to 14 days after last dose of study drug (Up to ~Day 30)
Secondary Incidence of microbiologically documented infections and identification of causative organisms in culture The incidences of microbiologically documented infections, along with the identification of causative organisms in culture, will be recorded. The measure will be assessed through the counting of cases confirmed by positive cultures. Up to 100 days
Secondary In-hospital mortality In-hospital mortality in the first 100 days after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) Until100 days after allogenic HSCT
Secondary Occurrence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) Occurrence of GVHD In the first 100 days after allogenic HSCT Until100 days after allogenic HSCT
Secondary Frequency of multidrug resistant-pathogen infections or colonization Frequency of multidrug resistant-pathogen infections or colonization by weekly rectal swab screening Until100 days after allogenic HSCT
Secondary Faecal microbiota analysis Patients will also undergo faecal microbiota analysis on baseline and at the end of therapy as a surrogate marker for future GVHD. Up to 100 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Who Report 1 or More Adverse Event (AE) An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product. Up to 35 days after last dose of study drug
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, requires or prolongs an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or is another important medical event deemed such by medical or scientific judgment. Up to 35 days after last dose of study drug (Up to ~Day 50) ]
Secondary Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event (AE) An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product. Up to 14 days after the first dose of study drug (Up to ~Day 15)
