Why XACDURO

Fight back against Acinetobacter

Medical Need

Rates of Acinetobacter incidence are on the rise1

5th most common cause of deaths attributable to drug resistance across the globe2

Can be deadly, with a 26.0% to 55.7% mortality rate3

Poses a threat to patients on ventilators in hospitals and nursing homes4

Acinetobacter has become resistant to most antibiotics used to treat HABP/VABP, including carbapenems and third-generation cephalosporins4

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter is classified as a critical priority pathogen by the World Health Organization4

The spread is alarming, with a 78% increase in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) cases in US hospitals in 2020.1

Outcomes are worse in patients with CRAB infections:*

  • 2 days longer hospital stay on average5
  • 17.2% higher rate of ICU utilization5
  • 2x higher chance of in‑hospital death6

In comparison to patients with carbapenem-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii.

Acinetobacter has become increasingly difficult to treat and there is no clear standard of care antibiotic regimen for CRAB infections.7

Mechanism of Action

Attack & restore: The dual action antibiotic treatment

XACDURO combines sulbactam with novel durlobactam creating a powerful duo against infections caused by Acinetobacter

Sulbactam attacks Acinetobacter

  • Penicillin derivative with intrinsic activity against Acinetobacter
  • Clinical utilization may be limited because β‑lactam resistance is common8

Durlobactam restores sulbactam

  • Diazabicyclooctane β‑lactamase inhibitor
  • Potent inhibitor of class A, C, and D β‑lactamases
  • Restores sulbactam activity in vitro and in vivo

Activity against Acinetobacter in vitro

5,032 Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex global clinical isolates from 2016-20219

MIC interpretation as published by CLSI (CLSI M100 2021). For XACDURO, a susceptibility breakpoint of 4/4 μg/mL was used. Sulbactam MICs were interpreted using the sulbactam component of CLSI M100 (2021) ampicillin-sulbactam MIC breakpoints (≤8/4 [susceptible], 16/8 [intermediate], and ≥32/16 [resistant]) given that sulbactam is well established to comprise the active component of the combination for Acinetobacter spp.9

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%).
