Brief summary

A Phase 1, open-label, single-dose study to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of ORAvance (ceftibuten/xeruborbactam oral prodrug \[QPX7831\]) in participants with renal impairment

Detailed description

Qpex Biopharma, Inc. is developing an oral dosage form that delivers Xeruborbactam, a new boron-based beta-lactamase inhibitor with activity against both serine and metallo-beta-lactamases, for oral treatment in combination with a beta-lactam antibiotic. Ceftibuten is a cephalosporin antibiotic approved in the US for acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, acute bacterial otitis media and pharyngitis/ tonsillitis. This is a Phase 1 open-label, single-dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK, of ceftibuten and xeruborbactam oral prodrug given in combination to participants with varying degrees of renal impairment as compared to participants with normal renal function. Objectives: The objectives of the study are: 1. To assess the PK of ceftibuten and xeruborbactam oral prodrug given in combination in participants with varying degrees of renal impairment. 2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ceftibuten and xeruborbactam oral prodrug given in combination in participants with varying degrees of renal impairment.

Inclusion criteria

All Participants: 1. Able to understand the study conduct and tasks required of the participants, sign the informed consent form and willing to cooperate with all tests and examinations required by the protocol. 2. Males and females at least 18 years of age, at the time of consent. 3. If male, agree to be sexually abstinent or to use 2 approved methods of contraception (refer to Inclusion Criterion #4) when engaging in sexual activity from study check-in through 930 days following the last administration of the study intervention, and to refrain from donating sperm during this same period of time. If the sexual partner is surgically sterile, contraception is not necessary. 4. Females of childbearing potential must either be sexually abstinent for 14 days prior to day 1 and remain so through 30 days following the last administration of the study intervention, OR have been using (or agree to use) 2 acceptable methods of birth control for the times specified: 1. Intra-uterine device in place for at least 3 months prior to day 1 through 30 days following the final dosing of the study intervention 2. Barrier method (condom or diaphragm) for at least 14 days prior to day 1 through 30 days following the final dosing of the study intervention 3. Stable hormonal contraceptive for at least 3 months prior to day 1 through 30 days following final dosing of the study intervention 4. Surgical sterilization (vasectomy) of partner at least 6 months prior to day 1 5. Females of non-childbearing potential must either be postmenopausal (defined as 12 months spontaneous amenorrhea) with a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the laboratory defined postmenopausal range or have undergone 1 of the following sterilization procedures detailed in the study protocol at least 6 months prior to day 1: 1. Bilateral tubal ligation 2. Hysterectomy 3. Hysterectomy with unilateral or bilateral oophorectomy 4. Bilateral oophorectomy 6. Have a BMI ≥ 18.5 kg/m2 and ≤ 45 kg/m2, inclusive. 7. Have sufficient peripheral vascular access, based on the site's assessment, for PK blood sample collection. 8. Have a semi-recumbent pulse rate ≥ 45 beats per minute (bpm) and ≤ 110 bpm during the vital sign assessment at the screening visit or day -1. 9. Willing to abstain from alcohol for 48 hours prior to dosing through discharge from the phase 1 unit on day 8. Participants With Renal Impairment: 10. Have an eGFR \< 90 mL/min calculated using the CKD-EPI equation adjusted for the participant's BSA and will be calculated using the estimation equation recommended by the FDA. Specifically, group 1, mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 \< 90 mL/min); group 2, moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to \< 60 mL/min); and group 3, severe renal impairment (eGFR \< 30 mL/min) not receiving dialysis therapy. 11. Have negative test results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody and anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody. Participants with renal impairment with a positive HCV antibody result will be included at the investigator's discretion if all liver enzyme parameters are within the normal range. Participants With Normal Renal Function: 12. Have an eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min calculated using the CKD-EPI equation adjusted for the participant's BSA. 13. Have negative test results for HBsAg, anti HCV antibody and anti-HIV antibody. 14. Meet matching criteria for age, BMI, and gender of pooled renally impaired as defined in the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

All Participants: 1. Have unstable or new medical conditions (eg, cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, autoimmune, endocrine, or neurological disorders) which have occurred in the 3 months prior to the first dose of study intervention and which are capable of altering the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or elimination of drugs or, in the opinion of the investigator, constitute a risk factor to participating in the study and/or receiving study intervention. 2. Documented hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to any antibiotic including ceftibuten or other beta-lactam antibiotics (eg, cephalosporins, penicillins, carbapenems, or monobactams) or any excipients used in this formulation. 3. History of clinically significant seizures, head injury, or meningitis. 4. Current evidence or history of malignancy, except squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, in the 2 years prior to day -1 with no evidence of recurrence. 5.
