1270. Early Real-world Evidence in the Use of Eravacycline for the Management of Draconian Infections

BACKGROUND: Eravacycline (ERV) is a next-generation tetracycline approved for complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) with in-vitro activity to multidrug-resistant organisms such as carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae, extended spectrum beta-lactamase, and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB). The purpose of this study was to identify the utility of ERV in clinical practice. METHODS: Retrospective case series was conducted on patients at AdventHealth that received at least two doses of ERV. Primary endpoint for the study was clinical success while on ERV, meeting none of the following criteria: changing therapy, mortality, or lack of improvement from sign/symptoms. RESULTS: Of 23 patients, 74% were males with a mean age of 55 ±18 years and mean body weight of 79 ±27 kg. Mean APACHE II and Charleson scores were 20 (±11) and 6 (±4), respectively. 91% received ERV for an off-label indication or organism. Infection types were respiratory (44%), cIAI (35%), skin (9%), and other (13%). All patients had positive cultures, while 61% were treated as a polymicrobial infection and 17% had bacteremia. Microorganisms included A. xylosoxidans, S. maltophilia, CRAB, and K pneumoniae. 48% had ERV susceptibilities from .06-4 mcg/mL, including two MIC ≥32mcg/mL for S. maltophilia. 70% were given another antibiotic prior to ERV with a median duration of 5 (1-35) days. Median duration of ERV was 8 (3-30) days. 83% percent received ERV in combination with another antibiotic. During treatment, 26% had a Child-Pugh Class C at baseline and 30% had elevated liver function tests. No adverse drug reactions were reported. Upon discharge, 35% continued ERV. Clinical success was observed in 57% (12/21) of patients. Clinical outcome by infection type is summarized in Figure 1. Of 9 cases of clinical failure, 14% were changed to alternative, 19% died while on ERV, and 10% failed to resolve signs/symptoms. Two cases of M. abscessus infections had insufficient follow-up to assess clinical outcome. Figure 1. Eravacycline Clinical Outcome by Infection Type [Image: see text] CONCLUSION: Initial real-world experience with ERV differs significantly from the trials regarding severity of illness, types of infection, and clinical outcomes. Further evaluation is necessary for using ERV as combination therapy and in off-label indications. DISCLOSURES: All Authors: No reported disclosures
