P1, DDI & MAD PK and Safety Study of Xeruborbactam Oral Prodrug in Combo With Ceftibuten in Healthy Participants

PHASE1COMPLETED

A Phase 1, Open-Label, Drug-drug Interaction, and Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled, Multiple-dose Pharmacokinetics and Safety Study of Xeruborbactam Oral Prodrug (QPX7831) in Combination with Ceftibuten in Healthy Adult Participants.

Study details:

Qpex Biopharma, Inc. is developing an oral dosage form that delivers Xeruborbactam, a new boron-based beta-lactamase inhibitor with activity against both serine and metallo-beta-lactamases, for oral treatment in combination with a beta-lactam antibiotic. Ceftibuten is a cephalosporin antibiotic approved in the US for acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, acute bacterial otitis media and pharyngitis/tonsillitis.

This Phase 1 study will assess if a PK interaction exists between xeruborbactam oral prodrug and ceftibuten when given in combination at doses of each drug that have previously been shown to be safe. The study will also assess the safety of the combination with dosing over 10 days. Study Objectives:.

1. To assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of single and multiple doses of xeruborbactam oral prodrug and ceftibuten both in combination and alone, in healthy adult participants. 2.

To assess whether there is any PK interaction between xeruborbactam oral prodrug and ceftibuten when administered in combination to healthy adult participants.

  7. Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1 Informed Consent Form (Section 10.1.3) that includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.

Exclusion criteria

  1. History or presence of significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurological, or psychiatric disease.
  2. Documented hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to any medication, including ceftibuten or other beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g. cephalosporins, penicillins, carbapenems or monobactams) or any excipients used in this formulation.
  3. Positive testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
  4. Females who are pregnant or lactating.
  5. Surgery within the past 3 months prior to Day 1 determined by the investigator, sub-investigator, or medical officer to be clinically relevant.
  6. Any acute illness within 30 days prior to Day 1.
  7. Any other condition or prior therapy, which, in the opinion of the investigator, sub-investigator, or medical officer would make the participant unsuitable for this study.
  8. Use of any prescription medication (with the exception of hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy for females) within 14 days prior to Day 1.
  9. Use of any over-the-counter medication, including herbal products, probiotics and vitamins, within the 7 days prior to Day 1.
  10. Use of antacids, H2 receptor blockers or proton pump inhibitors 7 days prior to Day 1.
  11. Participation in another investigational clinical trial within 30 days prior to Day 1 or within 5 half-lives of the previous investigational drug, whichever is longer.
  12. QTc corrected according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) interval > 450 msec for males and > 470 for females or history of prolonged QT syndrome at screening or check-in (Day -1).
  13. Calculated creatinine clearance < 80 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault method) at screening or check-in (Day -1).
  14. Any clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory values at screening or check-in (Day -1).
  15. Blood donation or significant blood loss (ie, > 500 mL) within 56 days prior to Day 1.
  16. Plasma donation within 7 days prior to Day 1.
  17. Positive urine drug/alcohol testing at screening or check-in (Day -1).
  18. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the 2 years prior to Day 1.
  19. Use of more than 5 packs/week of cigarettes (or equivalent amount of nicotine-containing product) within 6 months prior to Day 1.
  20. Excessive intake of alcohol, defined as an average daily intake of > 2 standard drinks for women and > 4 standard drinks for men.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Single Dose Drug-Drug-Interaction Crossover & Multiple Dose Cohorts
  • DDI crossover part of the study, subjects will be enrolled into 3 cohorts of 8 subjects each, Cohorts 1, 2, \& 3 respectively.
  • All subjects in Cohorts 1, 2, and 3 will receive a single dose of xeruborbactam oral prodrug (XOP) on Day 1. On Day 6, they will receive a single dose of ceftibuten. On Day 9 they will receive a single combined dose of XOP and ceftibuten.
  • During the MAD part of the study, subjects will be enrolled into 2 cohorts, Cohorts 4 \& 5 respectively.
  • Subjects in Cohorts 4 (16 subjects) will receive either a combined dose of XOP and ceftibuten, active ceftibuten, or active XOP.
  • Cohort 4 will be dosed BID on Days 1-9, with last dose on the morning of Day 10.
  • Subjects in Cohort 5 (15 subjects) will receive active XOP in comb with active ceftibuten which will be admin orally either twice on Day 1 and QD on Days 2-10 (Group 1), BID on Days 1-9 and QD on Day 10 (Group 2), or TID on Days 1-9 and once on Day 10 (Group 3), based on group assignment.
Drug: Xeruborbactam Oral Prodrug, Drug: Ceftibuten
    PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Placebo Comparator to maintain the blind
    • During Cohort 4, Xeruborbactam Oral Prodrug Placebo and Ceftibuten placebo will be used to maintain the blind. In Cohort 4, ten (10) subjects in each cohort will receive a combined dose of xeruborbactam oral prodrug and ceftibuten.
