Abstract

Abstract Background Omadacycline (OMC) is a novel intravenous (IV) and oral aminomethylcycline, approved in the USA for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults. We present data from a randomized, adaptive dose–response phase 2 study of OMC in adult females with acute pyelonephritis (AP). Methods Females aged ≥ 18 y with acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis were initially randomized to 1 of 4 once-daily regimens of OMC vs once-daily standard regimen of IV-to-oral levofloxacin (LEV) (total therapy: 7–10 days) (NCT03757234); the randomization algorithm was subsequently adapted by the data monitoring committee (DMC; blinded to the investigators) following interim analyses of efficacy in the microbiological-intent-to-treat (micro-ITT) population (Table 1). Efficacy was assessed for noninferiority according to investigator’s assessment of clinical response (IACR) and microbiological response at post-therapy evaluation (PTE; Day 21) and end of therapy (EOT). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were assessed. Results were reviewed by the DMC. Table 1 Results 201 patients were randomized. Baseline characteristics were similar across groups (Table 2). Among patients with an identified pathogen, the most common species was E. coli. For IACR at both EOT and PTE, no OMC group met noninferiority to LEV (Figure 1), as the lower limit of the 95% CI for the treatment difference exceeded −10% (range −12.4% to −34.8%).…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
