Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) relationships for efficacy were evaluated using data from omadacycline-treated patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) enrolled in two phase 3 studies. Patients received omadacycline 100 mg intravenously (IV) every 12 hours for two doses, followed by 100 mg IV every 24 hours (q24h), with the option to switch to 300 mg oral (PO) q24h after 3 days or 450 mg PO q24h for two doses, followed by 300 mg PO q24h for a total duration of 7-14 days. Clinical response was evaluated at 48-72 hours [early clinical response (ECR)], end of treatment (EOT), and 7-14 days after EOT.

Omadacycline, a novel aminomethylcycline with activity against Gram-positive and -negative organisms, including Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, is approved in the United States to treat patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Using nonclinical pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) targets for efficacy and surveillance data for omadacycline against S. pneumoniae and H.

Omadacycline is approved in the United States for the treatment of patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia or acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. Analyses were undertaken to evaluate pharmacokinetic differences among subjects or patients stratified by comorbidities. Differences in clearance by smoking status, history of diabetes mellitus, chronic lung disease, hypertension, heart failure, or coronary artery disease were evaluated using a Welch two-sample test.

Gepotidacin is a novel, first-in-class triazaacenaphthylene antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA replication by a distinct mechanism of action with an spectrum of activity that includes Escherichia coli. Our objectives herein were the following: (i) to identify the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) index associated with the efficacy of gepotidacin against E. coli; (ii) to determine the magnitude of the above-described PK-PD index associated with various bacterial reduction endpoints for E.
