2279. Study of Prescribing patterns and Effectiveness of Ceftolozane–tazobactam (C/T): Real-world Analysis (SPECTRA): a multi-national, multicenter observational study

BACKGROUND: C/T has demonstrated efficacy in randomized clinical trials to treat cIAI and cUTI and recently completed a study in ventilator-associated bacterial and ventilated hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the real-world clinical use and outcomes of C/T in a multi-national study. METHODS: SPECTRA is a multi-national, multicenter, retrospective, inpatient, observational study of patients treated with C/T in Australia, Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom. Patients admitted with greater than 48 hours of C/T treatment were included. Demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment management patterns, microbiological findings and outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: There were 155 patients from 20 participating hospitals in 6 countries. The average age was 58.0 years (±17.8) and most were male 114 (74%). The majority 130 (84%) had at least one comorbidity, with the most common being renal impairment 87 (56%), immunocompromised 62 (40%), and diabetes 52 (34%). The majority, 94 (61%), had previous hospitalizations ≥ 6 months prior to receiving C/T, of which 29 (31%) had an ICU stay and surgeries 64 (42%). Most patients 126 (82%) received antibacterials within 30 days of receiving C/T, 61 (40%) received carbapenems and 47 (31%) received aminoglycoside. The average duration of C/T was 15 (SD12) days. The source of infection was cUTI for 31 (20%), cIAI for 19 (12%) and respiratory for 43 (28%) of C/T treated patients. Most 107 (70%) had an ID consult with an average of 7 (SD 11.3) consults. The top pathogen was Pseudomonas 124 (81%) followed by E. coli 22 (14%), with 56 (37%) having a polymicrobial infection. Over half of the patients were in the ICU 84 (55%), 58 (38%) underwent at least 1 surgery, with 65 (48%) being related to the infection, 60 (39%) had sepsis and 21 (14%) had septic shock. All-cause in hospital mortality was 16%. 30-day all-cause readmission was 12% and 6% were infection related. CONCLUSION: Despite the complexity of the patients in this real-world analysis, most C/T patients had beneficial outcomes that are similar to results of controlled clinical trials.
