Clinical Trial Summary

A Phase 1, open-label, single-dose study to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of ORAvance (ceftibuten/xeruborbactam oral prodrug [QPX7831]) in participants with renal impairment

Description:

Qpex Biopharma, Inc. is developing an oral dosage form that delivers Xeruborbactam, a new boron-based beta-lactamase inhibitor with activity against both serine and metallo-beta-lactamases, for oral treatment in combination with a beta-lactam antibiotic.

Ceftibuten is a cephalosporin antibiotic approved in the US for acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, acute bacterial otitis media and pharyngitis/ tonsillitis.

This is a Phase 1 open-label, single-dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK, of ceftibuten and xeruborbactam oral prodrug given in combination to participants with varying degrees of renal impairment as compared to participants with normal renal function.

Objectives:

The objectives of the study are:

1. To assess the PK of ceftibuten and xeruborbactam oral prodrug given in combination in participants with varying degrees of renal impairment.

2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ceftibuten and xeruborbactam oral prodrug given in combination in participants with varying degrees of renal impairment.

If male, agree to be sexually abstinent or to use 2 approved methods of contraception as detailed in the study protocol when engaging in sexual activity from study check-in through 30 days following the last administration of the study drug, and to refrain from donating sperm during this same period of time. If the sexual partner is surgically sterile, contraception is not necessary.

Females of non-childbearing potential must either be postmenopausal (defined as 12 months spontaneous amenorrhea) with a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the laboratory defined postmenopausal range or have undergone 1 of the sterilization procedures detailed in the study protocol at least 6 months prior to Day 1.

6. Have a BMI = 18.5 kg/m2 and = 40 kg/m2, inclusive.

7. Have sufficient peripheral vascular access, based on the investigator's assessment, for PK blood sample collection.

8. Have a sitting pulse rate = 45 beats per minute (bpm) and = 110 bpm during the vital sign assessment at screening.

9. Willing to abstain from alcohol for 48 hours prior to dosing through discharge from the Phase 1 unit on Day 6 or Day 4 (depending on Group assigned).

10. Participants with Renal Impairment: Have an eGFR < 90 mL/min calculated using the CKD-EPI equation.

11. Have negative test results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody and anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody. Participants with renal impairment with a positive HCV antibody result will be included at the investigator's discretion if all liver enzyme parameters are within the normal range.

Participants with Normal Renal Function:

12. Have an eGFR = 90 mL/min calculated using the CKD-EPI equation.

13. Have negative test results for HBsAg, anti HCV antibody and anti-HIV antibody.

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants must not meet any of the following exclusion criteria to be eligible to participate in the study.

All Participants:

1. Have unstable or new medical conditions (eg, cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, autoimmune, endocrine, or neurological disorders) which have occurred in the 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug and which are capable of altering the distribution, metabolism, or elimination of drugs or, in the opinion of the investigator, constitute a risk factor to participating in the study and/or receiving study drug.

2. Documented hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to any medication, including ceftibuten or other beta-lactam antibiotics (eg, cephalosporins, penicillins, carbapenems, or monobactams) or any excipients used in this formulation.

3. History of clinically significant seizures, head injury, or meningitis.

4. Current evidence or history of malignancy, except squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, in the 2 years prior to Day -1 with no evidence of recurrence.

10. Plasma or platelet donation within 14 days prior to Day -1.

11. Any acute illness requiring antibiotic drug therapy within 30 days prior to Day 1 or a febrile illness within 7 days prior to Day 1.

12. Vigorous exercise from 48 hours prior to Day -1 until the day of discharge from the study.

13. Positive drug test at the Screening Visit or Day -1 unless results can be explained by a prescription medication. Recent history (ie, within 6 months prior to Day 1) of abuse of prescription or illicit drugs as detailed in the study protocol.

14. Positive alcohol test at the Screening Visit or Day 1. Recent history (ie, within 6 months prior to Day 1) of excessive alcohol intake as defined in the study protocol.
