    • Background: Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is CAZ combined with the novel non-β-lactam β-lactamase (BL) inhibitor AVI, which inhibits extended-spectrum BLs (ESBLs), KPCs, AmpCs and some OXA enzymes. CAZ-AVI has completed Phase 3 clinical trials for treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI). An assessment of patient outcome by multi-drug resistance (MDR) of key pathogens was performed.

    Methods: MDR was defined as resistance to at least 3 categories of antimicrobials. Susceptibility testing results were interpreted according to CLSI breakpoints. The favorable per-pathogen microbiological response rates for CAZ-AVI and comparators (primarily carbapenem-based therapy) were pooled across five Phase 3 clinical trials (cIAI, cUTI, and a CAZ-resistant pathogen [RP] study of patients with cIAI or cUTI) in the microbiologically modified intent-to-treat (mMITT) analysis set at the test of cure (TOC) visit for MDR Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    Results: 43.4% (876/2019) of all mMITT qualifying baseline Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa species were MDR pathogens; 434 MDR pathogens in the CAZ-AVI arm (107 from the cIAI studies, 171 from cUTI and 156 [11 cIAI and 145 cUTI] from RP) and 442 MDR pathogens on comparator arms (125 from cIAI, 167 from cUTI, and 150 [11 cIAI and 139 cUTI] from RP). The results for the favorable per-pathogen microbiological response of MDR pathogens at TOC are shown in the table.
