pk study of single-dose zti-01 in children (<12 years of age)

Conditions: Pediatric ALL

Summary: phase 1 study, a single dose of zti-01 given to pediatric subjects (under 12 years of age) who require antibiotic therapy to see what the body does to the drug (pharmacokinetics) and to compare if these effects are similar to those observed in adults at a 6g zti-01 dose. study will help establish pediatric dosing in younger children by age cohort. this is a multiple-center, open-label, pk study of zti-01 (fosfomycin for injection) single dose scaled by allometric weight-modeling from an adult zti-01 dose of 6 grams. eligible subjects must be receiving standard of care antibiotics for proven or suspected bacterial infection or for peri-operative prophylaxis surgery (in or out of hospital).

based on pre-dose weight on day -1, subjects weighing within the 3rd to \< 97th percentile based on age - will receive a single, weight adjusted dose of zti-01 via continuous iv infusion or syringe pump over a 1- hour (+10 min) period. pediatric subjects participating in this study will be assigned to one of three cohorts based on age: cohort 1: ≥ 6 years to \<12 years (n=6 pk evaluable subjects) cohort 2: ≥ 2 years to \<6 years (n=6 pk evaluable subjects) cohort 3: birth to \< 2 years (n=9 pk evaluable subjects), split into 3 subgroups: (3a) birth (defined as full term: 37 weeks of gestations or greater) to \< 3 mos, (3b) ≥ 3 mos to \< 6 mos, (3c) ≥ 6 mos to \< 24 months cohorts 1 and 2 will be enrolled first with safety and pk data evaluated before enrolling the youngest cohort 3. blood for fosfomycin concentration measurement will be collected throughout the study. safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse and serious adverse events based on medical history, vital signs, ecg, laboratory assessment and physical examination.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: * signed consent/assent * male or female subjects aged from birth (defined as full term: 37 weeks of gestation or greater) but less than 12 years old * hospitalized, currently receiving antibacterial treatment for confirmed or suspected bacterial infection * if of reproductive potential, agrees to avoid becoming pregnant or impregnating a partner from the time of consent through 24 hours after completion of study drug administration * has sufficient intravascular access to receive study drug through peripheral or central line exclusion criteria: * has history of known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to oral or intravenous fosfomycin * screening serum alanine aminotransferase (alt) or aspartate aminotransferase (ast) \>3x uln or total bilirubin \>2x uln * female is post onset of menarche and currently pregnant, or breast feeding, or has a positive serum or urine β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hcg) pregnancy test * impaired renal function at screening based on the revised schwartz formula using actual body height * known infection with immunodeficiency virus (hiv), hepatitis c virus, or hepatitis b virus * other laboratory tests, obtained as standard of care, that are outside the normal limits, considered by the investigator, to be clinically significant * have surgery scheduled during collection period of plasma for fosfomycin concentrations * weighs outside of the 3rd to less than \<97th percentile based on age * history of a seizure disorder requiring ongoing treatment with anticonvulsive therapy or prior treatment with anti-convulsive therapy within the last 3 years * is currently participating in or has participated in an interventional clinical trial with an investigational compound or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives, or twice the duration of the biological effect of any drug (whichever is longer) of administration of the study drug * has enrolled previously in the current trial or has received zti-01 or fosfomycin (iv or oral) for any other reason within the last 30 days * is expected to survive less than 72 hours after completion of study drug administration * plans to use cardiopulmonary bypass, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis during the study * clinically significant abnormalities on the ecg; or have or be at risk for major cardiac events or dysfunction including qtc prolongation, clinically unstable cardiac disease, receipt within 24 hours before the start of study drug of a medication that is labelled to prolong the qt interval, and for breastfed infant subjects only - receipt by the subject's mother within 24 hours before the start of study drug of a medication that is labelled to prolong the qt interval * planned blood transfusion within 24 hours of study drug administration or expected before the end of the pk sampling, or has had significant blood loss (≥5% of total blood volume) within 4 weeks before the screening visit * any condition that, in the opinion of the pi, would compromise the safety of the subject or the quality of the data * subject or caregiver/parent is unable or unwilling to adhere to the study-specified procedures and restrictions
