Pharmacokinetics of Sulopenem Etzadroxil Plus Probenecid in Adolescents

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Pharmacokinetics After Oral Intake

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the use of sulopenem etzadroxil plus probenecid in adolescent patients being treated for bacterial infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is sulopenem etzadroxil plus probenecid safe to use in adolescents? Is sulopenem etzadroxil plus probenecid tolerable when used in adolescents? When ingested, what does the adolescent body do to sulopenem etzadroxil plus probenecid, in terms of the movement of the drug into, through, and out of the body. Participants will receive standard of care antibiotics for their bacterial infection as directed by their physician. In addition, participants will be asked to take a single oral dose of sulopenem etzadroxil plus probenecid. Blood samples will be collected before the dose of sulopenem etzadroxil plus probenecid, as well as at specified timepoints after the dose. Likewise, urine will be collected at specified time periods after the dose. During the course of the study, data will be collected from participants including vital sign measurements, physical examination findings, and the details of any adverse events that are reported.

Who can join

Age: 12 and older, up to 17. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patient's parent/both parents or guardian must provide written informed consent and a statement of assent from the adolescent patient (if required by Institutional Review Board [IRB] according to local regulations and guidelines) must be obtained prior to any study-related procedures. Communication should take place between the Investigator, parent(s)/guardian, and adolescent patient to confirm understanding and compliance with the study requirements.
• Patient is male or female adolescent who are more than or equal to 12 and <18 years of age.
• Patient has a diagnosis of a bacterial infection as documented by the treating physician
• Patient will be receiving appropriate anti-infective treatment for a bacterial infection.
• Patient must have sufficient venous access to permit collection of PK samples and monitoring of laboratory safety variables.
• Female patients who are postmenarchal must not be pregnant, or breast feeding and must have a documented negative pregnancy test at Screening.
• Postmenarchal females and post-pubertal males must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control with partners of childbearing potential throughout the duration of the study and for 1 month following the last dose of study drug.
• NOTE: A highly effective method of birth control is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (i.e., <1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. This includes sexual abstinence, implants, some intrauterine devices, or a vasectomized partner. A vasectomy or a condom used with a spermicide is a medically acceptable form of birth control for males.
• Patient must be willing to follow all study procedures.

You may not qualify if…

• Known renal insufficiency.
• Patient is unable to tolerate oral medications.
• Patient has presence of any of the following conditions:
• Endocarditis
• Meningitis
• Necrotizing fasciitis
• Gas gangrene
• Patient has signs of severe sepsis including:
• Shock or profound hypotension that is not responsive to fluid challenge.
• Disseminated intravascular coagulation as evidenced by prothrombin time or partial thromboplastin time more than or equal to 2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) or platelets <50% of the lower limit of the normal.
• Patient has known active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction (except a confirmed diagnosis of Gilbert's disease) defined as non-transient elevations of aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase level elevations more than or equal to 3 × the ULN or non-transient total bilirubin more than or equal to 2 × the ULN.
• Known neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <500 cells/mm3).
• Patient has history of solid organ transplantation reported at any time.
• Patient has any finding that, in the view of the Investigator, would compromise the patient's safety requirements.
• Patient has known allergies to penicillin, carbapenems, and/or cephalosporin antibiotics, known allergy to probenecid, or severe allergic reactions to any drug in the past.
• Patient has a history of hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of the excipients or to medicinal products with similar chemical structures.
• Patient or parent/legal guardian has involvement in the planning and/or conduct of this study (applies to both Iterum Therapeutics staff and/or staff at the study sites).
• Patient has participated in any other clinical study where an investigational product was ingested within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) prior to the current study.
• Patient has definite or suspected personal history or family history of clinically significant adverse drug reactions.
• Patient has history or presence of GI, hepatic, or renal disease, or other conditions known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.
• Patient had treatment in the previous 3 months with any drug known to have a well-defined potential for hepatotoxicity (e.g., halothane).
• Patient weighs <30 kg.
• Patient is pregnant or lactating.
• Patient has received a carbapenem as their standard of care therapy to treat the diagnosed bacterial infection.
