Background

Due to increasing prevalence of resistant uropathogens, there is urgent need in the USA for effective new oral antibiotics for treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection (uUTI). Pivmecillinam has been used to treat uUTI in Canada and Europe for &gt; 40 years, is recommended as a first-line agent by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and has high microbiologic activity against most antibiotic-resistant Enterobacterales. We present a re-analysis of clinical trial data, as per 2019 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance, that supported the recent US approval of pivmecillinam for treatment of uUTI.Table 1.Composite response rates at test-of-cure (micro-ITT population)185 mg of pivmecillinam is equivalent to 200 mg of pivmecillinam hydrochloride.CI, confidence interval; micro-ITT, microbiological intent-to-treat; QID, four times daily; TID, three times daily.1.

Methods

Detailed subject-level clinical data were retrieved from three historic randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including subjects treated with pivmecillinam 185 mg, three times daily for 3–7 days, and re-analyzed in accordance with the 2019 FDA guidance for uUTI. Efficacy endpoints were composite (clinical and microbiologic) response rates, clinical response rates, and microbiologic response rates, analyzed in the microbiological intent-to-treat population (urine culture ≥ 105 colony-forming units/mL; ≤ 2 microorganism species; no baseline pathogen non-susceptible to active comparator).Table 2.Clinical response rates at test-of-cure (micro-ITT population)185 mg of pivmecillinam is equivalent to 200 mg of pivmecillinam hydrochloride.CI, confidence interval; micro-ITT, microbiological intent-to-treat; QID, four times daily; TID, three times daily.

Results

Efficacy in uUTI was demonstrated for the recommended dosage regimen of pivmecillinam in the three studies (total N=369 pivmecillinam, N=385 comparators). Composite response rates for pivmecillinam ranged from 62.0% to 71.7% (Table 1), clinical response rates from 63.5% to 82.7% (Table 2), and microbiologic response rates from 74.3% to 86.9% (Table 3). Efficacy of pivmecillinam was superior to placebo or ibuprofen and similar to cephalexin. Clinical and microbiologic response rates for pivmecillinam and comparators were generally numerically lower in the re-analysis versus original reports, reflecting the more stringent 2019 FDA criteria.Table 3.Microbiologic response rates at test-of-cure (micro-ITT population)185 mg of pivmecillinam is equivalent to 200 mg of pivmecillinam hydrochloride.CI, confidence interval; micro-ITT, microbiological intent-to-treat; QID, four times daily; TID, three times daily.

Conclusion

This re-analysis of RCT data confirmed the efficacy of pivmecillinam in uUTI, and was used to support the recent US approval of oral pivmecillinam, 185 mg three times daily for 3–7 days, for the treatment of female patients aged ≥ 18 years with uUTI caused by susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
