Clinical trial overview
The trial data on Vaborbactam includes four authorised interventional studies. Two studies are in Phase 2 and two are in Phase 3, showing that the research ranges from early safety and body-handling questions to larger comparison studies.[1][2][3][4]
These studies focus on people with serious infections, including children and adults, and they look at outcomes such as safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and treatment success.[1][2][3][4]
Pediatric studies
One Phase 2 study is in children aged 3 months to under 12 years with complicated urinary tract infection, including acute pyelonephritis, which is a kidney infection that starts in the urinary tract.[1]
This study has 74 planned participants and checks safety and tolerability based on adverse events, serious adverse events, special safety events, laboratory changes, and vital sign changes from baseline, which means changes compared with the first study visit.[1]
Another Phase 2 study looks at paediatric participants from birth to under 18 years with suspected or confirmed Gram negative infections.[4]
This study includes 44 participants and measures pharmacokinetic values such as AUC, Cmax, Tmax, clearance, half-life, Cmin, and steady-state volume of distribution, which help show how the treatment moves through the body over time.[4]
Adult infection studies
One Phase 3 study, called MODIFY, includes patients with severe infections and has 190 planned participants.[3]
The main goal is to reduce the number of days patients receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, meaning antibiotics that cover many kinds of bacteria, compared with standard care.[3]
Another Phase 3 study, SHORTEN-2, includes 306 participants with bacteremia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which means bacteria are present in the blood.[2]
This study compares 7 days versus 14 days of antibiotic treatment and uses a DOOR/RADAR analysis, a method that combines benefit and harm into one overall ranking of outcome.[2]
What the trials measure
The pediatric urinary infection study measures adverse events, serious adverse events, laboratory results, and vital signs to see whether the treatment is safe and well tolerated in children.[1]
The pediatric Gram negative infection study measures pharmacokinetic endpoints, including AUC, Cmax, Tmax, CL, t1/2, Cmin, and Vss, to understand exposure in the body after repeated intravenous dosing.[4]
The MODIFY study measures the number of days under broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment, comparing the strategy used in the trial with standard care.[3]
The SHORTEN-2 study measures days of antibiotic treatment and the DOOR score category at day 30 after appropriate antibiotic treatment ends.[2]
Trial design and phases
All four studies are interventional, meaning researchers give a treatment and then observe what happens.[1][2][3][4]
The Phase 2 studies are mainly focused on safety and pharmacokinetics in children, while the Phase 3 studies compare treatment strategies in larger groups of patients with serious infections.[1][2][3][4]
Key points for patients
- The research on Vaborbactam is focused on serious infections and includes both children and adults.[1][2][3][4]
- Two studies look mainly at safety and how the body handles the treatment in children.[1][4]
- Two Phase 3 studies look at treatment length and overall outcomes in adults with severe infections or bacteremia.[2][3]
- The main study measures include side effects, lab tests, blood pressure and other vital signs, and pharmacokinetic values.[1][4]
