A landmark trial
for HABP/VABP infections2

Evaluating the efficacy and safety of XACDURO versus colistin in patients with infections caused by Acinetobacter2

ATTACK was a pivotal, multicenter, active‑controlled, investigator‑unblinded, independent assessor‑blinded, non‑inferiority, phase 3 trial in a randomized cohort of hospitalized adults (N=181) with documented ABC infection.2

ABC, Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex; ATTACK, Acinetobacter Treatment Trial Against Colistin.

A diagram that explains the XACDURO ATTACK study design. On the left, there is a light gray box that states who was included in Part A of the study. It says Part A included patients with documented Acinetobacter baumannii-colcoaceticus complex infections, including hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia, ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia, ventilated pneumonia, or bloodstream infections. To the right of that, a blue, diamond shape says "1 to 1" referring to the equal number of patients in both the treatment arms. Two arrows point from the blue diamond to an orange box (the XACDURO treatment arm) and a dark gray box (the Colistin treatment arm). Inside the orange box, it says that XACDURO was dosed as 1 gram of sulbactam and 1 gram of durlobactam, plus 1 gram of imipenem and 1 gram of cilastatin, every six hours. Inside the dark gray box, it says Colistin was dosed at 2.5 milligrams per kilogram every 12 hours, plus 1 gram of imipenem and 1 gram of cilastatin, every six hours. A blue arrow points from both the orange and gray boxes to a light blue box that says the test of curve is seven plus or minus 2 days after the end of therapy. A blue arrow points from that box to a second light blue box. Inside the second box it says, late follow-up is fourteen plus or minus 2 days after therapy, and all-cause mortality assessed at day 28.

Both in combination with imipenem-cilastatin as background therapy.

Intravenous administration over 3 hours.

Intravenous administration over 30 minutes.

BSI, bloodstream infection; IMI, imipenem‑cilastatin; qxh, every x hours; TOC, test of cure; VP, ventilated pneumonia.

Powerful results in the fight against HABP/VABP caused by Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex2

Primary efficacy endpoint2:

28-day all-cause mortality in patients with laboratory-confirmed CRABC (microbiologically modified ITT population).1

Prespecified secondary efficacy endpoints2:

  • 28-day all-cause mortality in the ITT, microbiologically modified ITT, and CRABC (microbiologically evaluable) populations.
  • 14-day all-cause mortality in the CRABC microbiologically modified ITT and microbiologically modified ITT populations.
  • Clinical cure and microbiological favorable assessment at the end of therapy, TOC (7 ± 2 days after end of therapy), and late follow-up (14 ± 2 days after end of therapy) visits in all populations.

CRABC, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus; ITT=intent to treat; TOC=test of cure.

All-cause mortality rates

A bar chart that shows the rates of all-cause mortality in percentage in XACDURO clinical trials accessed at Day 28. The chart header says "XACDURO met criteria for non-inferiority to colistin for 28-day all-cause mortality" There are two horizontal bars, one orange bar representing XACDURO and one dark gray bar representing Colistin. The orange bar reads 19%, with an n of 63. The dark gray bar reads 32.3% with an n of 62.

Day 28 All-Cause Mortality (%)

Treatment difference, % (95% CI)-13.2 (-30.0 to 3.5)

aThe upper limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval was 3.5, which is less than the prespecified noninferiority margin of +20%, indicating noninferiority of XACDURO to colistin in the ATTACK trial. The two-sided 95% confidence interval was computed using a continuity-corrected z statistic.

Clinical cure rates

Greater clinical cure rates versus colistin2

A bar chart that shows the clinical cure rates at the test of cure in percentage in XACDURO clinical trials. The chart header says "Greater clinical cure versus Colistin." There are two horizontal bars, one orange bar representing XACDURO and one dark gray bar representing Colistin. The orange bar reads 62%, with an n of 63. The dark gray bar reads 40% with an n of 62.

Indication & Usage

Indication & Usage

Indication

XACDURO® (sulbactam for injection; durlobactam for injection), co-packaged for intravenous use is indicated in adults for the treatment of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) caused by susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex.

Limitations of Use

XACDURO is not indicated for the treatment of HABP/VABP caused by pathogens other than susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex.

Usage

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of XACDURO and other antibacterial drugs, XACDURO should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.

Before administering, please see the Full Prescribing Information for XACDURO.

Before administering, please see the Full Prescribing Information for XACDURO.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications: XACDURO is contraindicated in patients with a history of known severe hypersensitivity to the components of XACDURO or other beta-lactam antibacterial drugs.

Warnings and Precautions:

  • Hypersensitivity was observed in patients treated with XACDURO in clinical trials. Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions and serious skin reactions have been reported in patients receiving beta-lactam antibacterial drugs. Before initiating therapy with XACDURO, careful inquiry should be made concerning previous hypersensitivity reactions to carbapenems, penicillins, cephalosporins, other beta lactams, and other allergens. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue XACDURO.
  • Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Evaluate if diarrhea occurs. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, the risk/benefit of continuing treatment with XACDURO should be assessed.
  • Prescribing XACDURO in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions reported in >10% of patients treated with XACDURO were liver test abnormalities (19%), diarrhea (17%), anemia (13%), and hypokalemia (12%).
