This is an international study to compare the study drug AR-301 with antibiotics versus antibiotics alone in ventilated patients who have a pneumonia caused by S. aureus.

A Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter Phase 3 study of efficacy and safety of AR-301 as adjunct therapy to antibiotics in the treatment of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) caused by S. aureus

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Written Informed Consent given by the patient or, if not possible, by a legally acceptable representative and/or an independent physician as authorized by the competent ethics committee (EC) or independent review board (IRB) and local regulations. 2. To be at least 18 years of age. For Taiwan: To be at least 20 years of age. For South Korea: To be at least 19 years of age. 3. Treated in an ICU at the time of enrollment. 4. Endotracheal tube in place (tracheostomy is allowed), 5. The patient is mechanically ventilated for at least 48 hours. 6. Diagnosis of pneumonia based on the following criteria (a, b, and c, all must be met): a. One definitive chest X-ray diagnostic of pneumonia within 48 hours. b. Hypoxemia based on at least one of the following measurements criteria: i. PaO2/FiO2 =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 80

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. The subject is unlikely to survive for the study duration despite delivery of adequate antibiotics and supportive care for treatment of S. aureus pneumonia. 2. Effective antibacterial drug therapy for the index pneumonia administered continuously for more than 72 hours prior to initiation of study treatment. Effective antibiotics include intravenous (IV) and/or oral medications typically used to treat S. aureus. 3. Plasmapheresis (ongoing or planned), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or any procedure that would remove/filter out the monoclonal antibody (mAb)/study drug. 4. Immunocompromised patients due to, but not limited to the following: a. HIV / AIDS who are not stable under medication and/or most recent CD4 40 mg of prednisone or equivalent per day administered within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug. 5. Known hereditary complement deficiency. 6. Liver dysfunction with a Child Pugh C score > 9 (Child Pugh score of A or B are acceptable at discretion of the Principal Investigator [PI]). 7. Pulmonary disease that precludes evaluation of a therapeutic response (such as lung cancer resulting in bronchial obstruction or on the same side as the pneumonia, active tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, granulomatous disease, fungal pulmonary infection, lung abscess, pleural empyema or post obstructive pneumonia). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not an exclusion criterion. 8. Patient has received IV immunoglobulin therapy within 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. 9. Any woman of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) who does not have a negative pregnancy test result at Screening using SERUM or URINE testing based on Beta-subunit human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) standard tests and methods from the local laboratory. Nonpregnant with confirmation via local laboratory testing is required. Lactating women are also excluded. Women who are post-menopausal as evidenced by the absence of menstruation for at least 1 year are eligible; the date of last menstruation is to be recorded in the study files unless post-menopausal status is obvious due to age. 10. Any sexually active subject who is unwilling to use acceptable methods of contraception for 120 days after dosing. WOCBP must agree to use an effective method of birth control (e.g., prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, barrier methods, abstinence) or male partner sterilization alone for the duration of the study and for at least 120 days after dosing. Males with female partners of reproductive potential must agree to practice abstinence or to use a condom (male) plus an additional barrier method (female partner) of contraception for the duration of the study and for at least 120 days after dosing. 11. Known lack of treatment compliance from prior studies or ongoing medical care based on medical records and Prin

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Efficacy: To assess the difference in Clinical Cure rates between SOC alone and SOC with AR-301 at Day 21. Stringent Clinical Cure criteria have been defined in collaboration with clinical experts in the field. Safety: To assess the clinical safety and tolerability of AR-301 in the study population. ; Secondary Objective: Efficacy: assess the difference the following clinical outcomes between SOC alone and SOC with AR-301: _Clinical Cure _Mortality _Respiratory functional assessment _Overall clinical status _Health economics _Pharmacokinetics Safety: To assess the immunogenicity of AR-301. Microbiological Efficacy: To assess the difference in eradication of index S. aureus at Day 21 and Day 28. ; Primary end point(s): Primary Clinical Efficacy endpoints: The proportion of patients with Clinical Cure at Day 21. Microbiological Endpoints: 1. Microbiological outcome of the index S. aureus pneumonia based on the data provided by the local microbiology laboratory. 2. Eradication of S. aureus at Day 21 and Day 28. Safety Endpoints: 1. Assessment of clinical adverse events, 2. Assessment of clinical laboratory safety tests, 3. Assessment of immunogenicity to AR-301. ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Clinical Cure of pneumonia will be assessed daily by the investigator. “Clinical Cure” rates will be analyzed on Day 7, 14, 21 (primary efficacy endpoint) and 28. Clinical safety assessments will be performed on an ongoing basis while predefined laboratory assessments will be performed at baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Clinical Efficacy Endpoints: 1. Proportion of patients with Clinical Cure at Day 14 2. Proportion of patients with Clinical Cure at Day 28 3. All-cause mortality 4. Pneumonia-related mortality 5. Proportion of patients with Clinical Cure at Day 7 6. Change from baseline in respiratory functional assessment. 7. Mean change from baseline in overall clinical status measured by SOFA scores 8. Health economics ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary efficacy and health economics endpoints will be assessed in a similar manner during the 28-day period, daily when possible (e.g., time on mechanical ventilation, including if tracheostomy is in place; time on supplemental oxygenation; measures of respiratory health such as changes in PaO2/FiO2, using arterial blood gases (ABG) and/or pulse oximetry measurements), or upon occurrence (e.g., duration of intubation with ventilation, or duration of mechanical ventilation if tracheostomy is in place, duration of stay in the ICU, duration of hospitalization, antibiotic utilization).
