A Study on the Tolerability and Early Efficacy of hLF1-11 in Patients With Bacteremia Due to S. Epidermidis — LIST  

Bacteremia Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Phase-IIa, Double-blind, Randomized, Controlled Study on the Tolerability and Early Efficacy of hLF1-11 in Hospitalized Patients With Bacteremia Due to Staphylococcus Epidermidis

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the tolerability of treatment with human lactoferrin 1-11 peptide (hLF1-11) administered intravenously as a single dose given for 10 consecutive days, to patients with bacteremia due to staphylococcus epidermidis.

Clinical Trial Description

RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY

Choice of Drug

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a relatively uncommon find in blood cultures, most cases being found in patients with intravenous lines through contiguous contamination and current clinical practice is often one of not using antibiotic treatment immediately, unless significant clinical signs and symptoms and/or patient status justifies intervention with an antibiotic. The latter tends to be vancomycin as many S epidermidis strains are resistant to other agents.

hLF1-11 is hypothesized to have antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus epidermidis, amongst other strains.

Should hLF1-11 be shown to be an effective antibacterial against Staphylococcus epidermidis, its use would be justified in other more serious hospital-acquired infections such as MRSA for which hLF1-11 has been shown (in preclinical in vitro and in vivo data) to display a strong therapeutic effect.

Choice of Patient Population

Based on preclinical data hLF1-11 has been shown to possess antibacterial effects on the selected bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis). Staphylococcus epidermidis is a commensal found in human skin. In current clinical practice hospital-acquired systemic Staphylococcal epidermidis is not routinely treated unless the bacteremia is accompanied by a clear clinical risk to the patient. ;
