Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Due to emerging resistance, new antibiotic options are needed to treat CF acute pulmonary exacerbations caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). There is established evidence that adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) may have altered antibiotic pharmacokinetics compared with non-CF patients. Telavancin is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic that has activity against gram-positive bacteria including MRSA. This study will determine the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of telavancin in 18 adult CF patients admitted for a pulmonary exacerbation at 1 of 4 participating hospitals in the US.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Each participant will receive 3 doses of intravenous telavancin administered every 24 hours. Up to three different doses of telavancin will be studied (n=6 per group). Blood samples will be collected throughout the study to determine the pharmacokinetics of telavancin. Each group will proceed after measurement of safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the lower dose group before it.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

This pharmacokinetic study uses a sequential, adaptive design to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability of increasing weight based doses of telavancin. During Arm 1, participants will receive 7.5 mg/kg daily. Upon completion of data collection and assessment of safety/tolerability, Arm 2 participants will receiving 10 mg/kg daily. After completion of Arms 1 and 2, a preliminary pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis will be conducted. These results, combined with the safety/tolerability of the 10mg/kg dose, will provide decision support to select a PK/PD optimized dose for Arm 3.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Telavancin injection Dose 1 (7.5mg/kg)

The pharmacokinetics and tolerability of telavancin 7.5mg/kg q24h will be measured in 6 participants.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telavancin Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Receive 3 doses of telavancin as described in arm/groups, followed by collection of blood for pharmacokinetic analyses.

Telavancin injection Dose 2 (10mg/kg)

After completion and analysis of 7.5mg/kg group, the next 6 participants will receive 10mg/kg q24h, and pharmacokinetics and tolerability will be measured.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telavancin Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Receive 3 doses of telavancin as described in arm/groups, followed by collection of blood for pharmacokinetic analyses.

Telavancin injection Dose 3 (TBD)

The third arm will enroll 6 participants to receive the following dose of telavancin q24h: 7.5, 10, 12.5, or 15 mg/kg. The final dose will be selected based on pharmacokinetic studies from first 12 participants, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic modeling.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telavancin Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Receive 3 doses of telavancin as described in arm/groups, followed by collection of blood for pharmacokinetic analyses.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 18 years or older
* Documented diagnosis of CF
* Acute pulmonary exacerbation as the primary reason for admission to the hospital with requirement to receive systemic antibiotic treatment, as defined by treating provider
* If female, subjects must be non-pregnant and non-lactating. Females can be either not of a child-bearing potential or if of a child-bearing potential, on acceptable modes of birth control such as abstinence from sexual intercourse, oral/parenteral contraceptives, or barrier method

Exclusion Criteria

* History of any solid organ transplantation within the last 12 months
* Moderate to severe renal dysfunction defined as a creatinine clearance (CLCR) \< 50 mL/min (as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation using actual body weight) or requirement for continuous renal replacement therapy or hemodialysis
* Oliguria (urine output \< 0.4 mL/kg/hr for at least 12 hours, up to a total of \<20 mL/hr) or significant alterations in fluid/electrolyte homeostasis in a 72 hour window before enrollment with a history of renal compromise
* A hemoglobin less than 8 gm/dl at baseline
* Anticipated length of hospital stay less than 4 days, which would prevent completion of dose administration and pharmacokinetic sampling
* Receiving intravenous vancomycin at the time of enrollment or anticipation of requiring intravenous vancomycin during study participation (Note. Other antibiotics targeting Gram-positive bacteria such as MRSA are permitted)
* Receiving an anticoagulant AND requires specific coagulation testing (prothrombin time/international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, activated clotting time, or coagulation based factor x activity assay) within 24 hours of receiving a telavancin dose (Note. Although telavancin does not interfere with coagulation, it may interfere with some assays used to monitor coagulation)
* Requirement of concomitant administration of agents containing a cyclodextrin solubilizer such as intravenous voriconazole or itraconazole
* Any rapidly-progressing disease or immediately life-threatening illness (defined as imminent death within 48 hours in the opinion of the investigator)
* Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of study data
* Planned or prior participation in any other interventional drug study within 30 days
