What the trials found For clinicians

Intra-abdominal infection: what the trials found

Tigecycline has demonstrated significant clinical response rates in patients with intra-abdominal infections. In a Phase 4 study, the clinical response at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) assessment was reported as 89.9% in the Clinically Evaluable population 1, 82.8% in the Modified Intent-to-Treat population 1, and 88.0% in the Microbiologically Evaluable population 1. A separate Phase 4 trial confirmed high clinical response rates for tigecycline among Microbiologically Evaluable patients (97 vs. 86, p=0.001) 3.

Alternative antibiotic regimens also show established outcomes for intra-abdominal infections. Ceftolozane and tazobactam (MK-7625A) demonstrated a 92.0% clinical response rate at the Test-of-Cure visit, with no participants discontinuing the study drug due to adverse events 4. In comparison, Zavicefta (ceftazidime-avibactam) showed a 59.3% clinical cure rate in the mMITT analysis and a 78.6% clinical cure rate in the ME analysis at the Test-of-Cure visit 2.

Regarding resource utilization, tigecycline was associated with no statistically significant difference in the number of days of inpatient healthcare resource utilization on or before the Test-of-Cure assessment (p=0.750) 3.

Recent results — preliminary, needs further review

  • Tygacil showed a clinical response rate to tigecycline at the Last Day of Therapy and Test-of-Cure assessments ranging from 17.6% to 82.4% in a Phase 2 study 5.
  • Meropenem was evaluated in a Phase 2 trial where efficacy success rates were reported as 29, 82, 26, and 25 across different assessment metrics 6.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Tigecycline demonstrates high clinical response rates in intra-abdominal infections across multiple Phase 4 trials [1, 3].
  • Ceftolozane/tazobactam shows a 92% clinical response rate with no drug discontinuations due to adverse events 4.
  • Clinical cure rates for ceftazidime-avibactam vary between 59.3% and 78.6% depending on the specific analysis set (mMITT vs. ME) 2.
