Microbiological Analysis from a Phase 2 Randomized Study in Adults Evaluating Single Oral Doses of Gepotidacin in the Treatment of Uncomplicated Urogenital Gonorrhea Caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae
We evaluated microbiological correlates for the successful treatment of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from a phase 2 study of gepotidacin, a novel triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial, for therapy of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Culture, susceptibility testing, genotypic characterization, and...

description | We evaluated microbiological correlates for the successful treatment of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from a phase 2 study of gepotidacin, a novel triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial, for therapy of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Culture, susceptibility testing, genotypic characterization, and frequency of resistance (FoR) were performed for selected isolates. Microbiological success was defined as culture-confirmed eradication of N. gonorrhoeae. Against 69 baseline urogenital isolates, gepotidacin MICs ranged from ≤0.06 to 1 µg/ml (MIC(90) = 0.5 µg/ml). For gepotidacin, the ratio of the area under the free-drug concentration-time curve to the MIC (fAUC/MIC) was associated with therapeutic success. Success was 100% (61/61) at fAUC/MICs of ≥48 and decreased to 63% (5/8) for fAUC/MICs of ≤25. All 3 isolates from microbiological failures were ciprofloxacin resistant, had a baseline gepotidacin MIC of 1 µg/ml, and carried a preexisting ParC D86N mutation, a critical residue for gepotidacin binding. In a test-of-cure analysis, the resistance to gepotidacin emerged in 2 isolates (MICs increased ≥32-fold) with additional GyrA A92T mutations, also implicated in gepotidacin binding. Test-of-cure isolates had the same sequence type as the corresponding baseline isolates. For 5 selected baseline isolates, all carrying a ParC D86N mutation, the in vitro FoR to gepotidacin was low (10(−9) to 10(−10)); the resistant mutants had the same A92T mutation as the 2 isolates in which resistance emerged. Five participants with isolates harboring the ParC D86N mutation were treatment successes. In summary, fAUC/MICs of ≥48 predicted 100% microbiological success, including 3 isolates with the ParC D86N mutation (fAUC/MICs ≥ 97). Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic determinations may help to evaluate new therapies for gonorrhea; further study of gepotidacin is warranted. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02294682.) |
