RESUMO
Background: There is a need for improved antibiotic formulations for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and soft structure infection (ABSSSI), especially with the rise of antimicrobial resistance among Gram-positive bacteria. A new formulation of oritavancin was developed to reduce intravenous infusion volume (from 1000 mL to 250 mL), shorten infusion time (from 3 hours to 1 hour), and provide pharmacies with flexibility in oritavancin preparation (from 5% dextrose in sterile water to either normal saline or 5% dextrose in sterile water) compared with the current formulation. Methods: A total of 102 adult patients with a diagnosis of ABSSSI suspected or confirmed to be caused by a Gram-positive pathogen were randomized 1:1 to receive either the new formulation of oritavancin or the current formulation. After a single 1200-mg intravenous infusion of oritavancin, the relative area-under-the-curve exposure of the new formulation and current formulation groups were compared. Safety and tolerability of the new formulation were assessed for treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and changes to laboratory parameters. Results: The area under the curve for 0 hour to 72 hours postdose was very similar in the new formulation group compared with the current formulation group. No differences in treatment-emergent adverse events were observed between the current and new formulation groups, and all treatment-emergent adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of the current formulation. Conclusions: The new formulation of oritavancin with reduced volume and duration of intravenous infusion demonstrates a safety profile and pharmacokinetics similar to that of the original formulation.
RESUMO
Delafloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, has activity against Gram-positive organisms including methicillin-resistant S aureus and fluoroquinolone-susceptible and -resistant Gram-negative organisms. The intravenous formulation of delafloxacin contains the excipient sulfobutylether-ß-cyclodextrin (SBECD), which is eliminated by renal filtration. This study examined the pharmacokinetics and safety of SBECD after single intravenous (IV) infusions in subjects with renal impairment. The study was an open-label, parallel-group, crossover study in subjects with normal renal function or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment, and those with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. Subjects received 300 mg delafloxacin IV or placebo IV, containing 2400 mg SBECD, in 2 periods separated by ≥14-day washouts. SBECD total clearance decreased with decreasing renal function, with a corresponding increase in area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞ ). After IV delafloxacin 300 mg administration, SBECD mean total clearance was 6.28 and 1.24 L/h, mean AUC0-∞ was 387 and 2130 h·µg/mL, and mean renal clearance was 5.36 and 1.14 L/h in normal and severe renal subjects, respectively. Similar values were obtained after IV placebo administration. In subjects with end-stage renal disease, delafloxacin 300 mg IV produced mean SBECD AUC0-48 values of 2715 and 7861 h·µg/mL when dosed before and after hemodialysis, respectively. Total SBECD clearance exhibited linear relationships to estimated glomerular filtration rate and creatinine clearance. Single doses of IV delafloxacin 300 mg and IV placebo were well tolerated in all groups. In conclusion, decreasing renal function causes reduced SBECD clearance and increased exposures, but SBECD continues to exhibit a good safety and tolerability profile in IV formulations.

Delafloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, has activity against gram-positive organisms including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and fluoroquinolone-susceptible and -resistant gram-negative organisms. This study was conducted to determine delafloxacin pharmacokinetics after a single intravenous infusion or oral dose administration in subjects with varying degrees of renal function. The study was an open-label, parallel-group crossover study in subjects with normal renal function or with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. Subjects received 300 mg delafloxacin intravenously, placebo intravenously, and 400 mg delafloxacin orally in 3 periods separated by ≥14-day washouts. Blood and urine pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using noncompartmental methods. Delafloxacin total clearance decreased with decreasing renal function, with a corresponding increase in AUC0-∞ . After intravenous administration, mean total clearance was 13.7 and 7.07 L/h, and mean AUC0-∞ was 22.6 and 45.0 µg·h/mL in normal and severe renal subjects, respectively. Mean renal clearance as determined by urinary excretion was 6.03 and 0.44 L/h in normal and severe renal impairment subjects, respectively. Total clearance exhibited linear relationships to eGFR and CLCR . Similar observations were found after oral administration of delafloxacin. Single doses of delafloxacin 300 mg intravenously and 400 mg orally were well tolerated in all groups. In conclusion, renal insufficiency has an effect on delafloxacin clearance; a dosing adjustment for intravenous dosing is warranted for patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min).

BACKGROUND: In this study, we tested the ability of a novel poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, 10-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2H-7-oxa-1,2-diaza-benzo[de]-anthracen-3-one (GPI-15427), to enhance the effect of radiotherapy in a xenograft model of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS: Human xenograft HNSCC tumors were established in female nude mice: animals were treated with orally administered GPI-15427 at varied doses prior to tumor irradiation. In vitro and in vivo apoptosis analyses and neutral single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay were performed, with the "tail moment" calculated to evaluate DNA double-strand break damage. RESULTS: Orally administered GPI-15427 given before radiation therapy significantly reduced tumor volume, and cells demonstrated significantly elevated mean tail moments (indicative of DNA damage) and enhanced apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo, compared with radiation-alone and control groups. CONCLUSIONS: Use of the PARP-1 inhibitor GPI-15427 induced significant sensitization to radiotherapy, representing a promising new treatment in the management of HNSCC.
