Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the 2-week bactericidal activity, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of sanfetrinem cilexetil in participants with rifampicin-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis.


Clinical Trial Description

A single-centre, open-label, clinical trial in two stages. Stage 1 will recruit 20 participants followed by a recruitment pause and an interim analysis to determine if sanfetrinem cilexetil has early bactericidal activity (EBA). Should EBA be demonstrated, stage 2 will focus on optimising sanfetrinem cilexetil. All treatments will be administered orally (PO) on days 1-14. The treatments are: Stage 1: - Sanfetrinem cilexetil 1.6 g PO 12-hourly - Rifampicin 35 mg/kg PO once daily (OD)* An interim analysis is planned after stage 1 to review the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability and EBA of sanfetrinem cilexetil. Results of stage 1 will determine whether stage 2 should proceed and if any modifications in dose, duration or combinations are required for Stage 2. If deemed possible, a PK-EBA model will be derived using only stage 1 from which clinical trial simulations will be conducted to inform the design of stage 2. If EBA is not demonstrated, the study will be stopped after stage 1. Stage 2: - Rifampicin 35 mg/kg po OD* - Sanfetrinem cilexetil 3.2 g PO OD - Sanfetrinem cilexetil 800 mg PO 12-hourly - Sanfetrinem cilexetil 800 mg PO 8-hourly - Sanfetrinem cilexetil 1.6 g plus amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (Amx/CA) 250mg/125 mg, PO 12-hourly - Sanfetrinem cilexetil 1.6 g 12-hourly plus rifampicin 35 mg/kg PO OD - Five of the rifampicin 35 mg/kg arm participants will be recruited in stage 1 and the remainder in stage 2. Participants on rifampicin will serve both as control for the EBA quantitative mycobacteriology and allow evaluation of pharmacodynamic-pharmacodynamic (PD-PD) interaction between rifampicin and sanfetrinem. The study will not be blinded but the mycobacteriology laboratory staff performing the endpoint assays will remain blinded until analysis of the EBA results. ;
