  • Gemi MICs are Lower against Gram positive
    bacteria compared to other quinolones
  • Gemi MICs are about equal to other quinolones
    against Gram negative bacteria
  • Gemi PK parameters weaken the significance of
    lower MICs against Gram
  • Gemi PK parameters may affect efficacy against
    Enterobacteriaceae

  • S. pneumoniae MICs against Pen-R MICs against
    Pen-S as with all quinolones
  • Gemi MICs against Quin-R S. pneumoniae are in
    the range of 0.25-1 mcg/mL Moxi MICs about
    4 mcg/mL
  • S. pneumoniae double-mutants have Gemi MICs 0.25
    mcg/mL Moxi 2 mcg/mL Levo 32 mcg/mL
  • Gemi PK values about 6 times lower than Moxi PK

Community Acquired PneumoniaFactive
(gemifloxacin)NDA 21-158
  • Regina Alivisatos, MD

20
Sponsors Proposed Indication
  • Community-acquired pneumonia caused by
    Streptococcus pneumoniae (including penicillin-,
    clarithromycin- and cefuroxime-resistant
    strains), Haemophilus influenzae Haemophilus
    parainfluenzae Moraxella catarrhalis Mycoplasma
    pneumoniae Chlamydia pneumoniae Legionella
    pneumophila Staphylococcus aureus
  • Proposed Dose One 320 mg tablet daily for 7 days

21
Overview
  • Efficacy in relation to
  • Duration of Treatment
  • Severity of disease
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Penicillin-resistant
  • Macrolide-resistant
  • Cefuroxime-resistant
  • Quinolone-resistant

22
Clinical Studies
23
FDA Analyses - Duration of Treatment
  • Statistical issues with the combining of all 7
    day patients
  • because
  • 1 controlled study (011) and 2 uncontrolled were
    of 7 days duration a priori
  • in studies 061, 049, and 185, the duration of
    treatment was determined at the on-therapy visit
    and was investigator-driven
  • FDA performed additional analyses based on a
    stricter division of studies into those with a
    priori duration of 7 days and those where
    duration could vary

24
Patient Disposition- CAP
25
FDA Analysis of Clinical Response by Duration of
Treatment
26
Severity
  • Severity was determined by retrospective
    application of Fine criteria with the exception
    of study 287 where the Fine criteria were applied
    prospectively
  • Patients assigned to a risk class (I - V)
    according to demographic, clinical and laboratory
    characteristics that stratified them by risk of
    mortality within 30 days
  • Based on assigned risk class, patients were
    classified as having mild (I, II), moderate (III)
    or severe (IV, V) disease
  • Patients in risk classes I, II and III can often
    be managed as outpatients, whereas those in
    classes IV and V are at higher risk of death and
    often require hospitalization
  • mortality risk class IV 9 - 12, class V 30

Severity DemographicsGemifloxacin ITT
28
FDA Analysis of Clinical Response by Severity
29
Clinical Response in Hospitalized Patients
  • Hospitalization used as a criterion to assess the
    effectiveness of gemifloxacin in severe cases CAP
  • Questions regarding appropriateness of using
    hospitalization as a sole determinant of severity
  • Decision to hospitalize was investigator-driven
    and may have varied according to geographic
    location
  • Only in study 185 were all patients hospitalized
    as per protocol for at least 24 hours
  • Comparable efficacy between treatment arms

30
FDA Analysis of Clinical Response in Bacteremic
Patients
31
Severity and Mortality
32
Severity and Precedents
  • Two quinolones, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin
    have a severe disease claim both with PO and IV
    formulations
  • Criteria for determining severity differed but
    were applied at the time of randomization in both
    applications that received an approval.
  • Criteria were used to determine mode of treatment
    as well as duration.
  • Most of the severe patients in the levofloxacin
    NDA received IV treatment.
  • Moxifloxacin claim was granted after FDA review
    of the IV formulation.

33
Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Sponsor is requesting approval for penicillin,
    macrolide, and cefuroxime resistant S. pneumoniae
    Data also submitted on quinolone-resistant S.
    pneumoniae
  • Levofloxacin and moxifloxacin have the indication
    of PRSP
  • No antimicrobial currently has an MRSP indication
  • PRSP and MRSP discussed at January 2003 AIDAC
  • No previous claims for cefuroxime-resistant PRSP
  • What is the clinical relevance of Macrolide- and
    Cefuroxime-resistant S. pneumoniae in the
    setting of penicillin resistance?

34
Penicillin Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Agency and sponsor in agreement that
  • 12 BPP gemifloxacin-treated patients had
    Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates with penicillin
    MICs of ? 2mcg/mL (3 of these had MICs of
  • 4 mcg/mL)
  • Clinical success and bacteriological eradication
    rates in the PP patients with PRSP were 100
  • Four (4) comparator arm patients had PRSP with
    100 clinical success and bacteriological
    eradication rates

35
Macrolide Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • 25 gemifloxacin-treated PP patients with
    Streptococcus
  • pneumoniae had macrolide resistant isolates
  • (clarithromycin MIC ? 1mcg/mL)
  • Clinical success and bacteriologic eradication
    rates were 22/25 (88) PP
  • 10 isolates (40) were also penicillin-resistant
  • 12 comparator-treated PP patients had macrolide
    resistant
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Clinical success and bacteriologic eradication
    rates were 11/12 (91.6) PP
  • 3 isolates (25) were also penicillin-resistant

36
Cefuroxime-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • 18 patients had cefuroxime -resistant
    Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates (MIC ? 4
    mcg/mL)
  • Clinical success and bacteriological eradication
    rates at follow-up were 17/18 (94.4)
  • 12 out of the 18 cefuroxime-resistant isolates
    were also PRSP (67)
  • 15 of the 18 cefuroxime-resistant isolates were
    also clarithromycin resistant (83)
  • On the comparators arm there were 7 patients with
    Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates (PP) resistant
    to cefuroxime that were all successfully treated
    (ITT 8)

37
Quinolone-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • In the gemifloxacin group of the combined studies
    population, there were no pathogens resistant to
    ofloxacin and levofloxacin
  • 1 resistant isolate on the all comparators arm
    (failure)
  • In the gemifloxacin group there were 4 isolates
    of Streptococcus pneumoniae with an MIC against
    ciprofloxacin of 4 mcg/mL (clinical success and
    bacteriological eradication rate 100)

38
Acute Bacterial Exacerbation of Chronic
BronchitisFactive (gemifloxacin) NDA 21-158
  • Eileen Navarro, MD

39
ABECBApplicants Proposed Label Indication and
Claim
  • FACTIVE is effective for the treatment of acute
    exacerbations of chronic bronchitis due to H.
    influenzae, M. catarrhalis, S. pneumoniae, H.
    parainfluenzae and S. aureus.
  • earlier eradication of H. influenzae from the
    sputum

40
Issues in Applicants Additional Findings
  • Superior clinical efficacy
  • Prolonged exacerbation-free intervals
  • Efficacy in hospitalized severe ABECB
  • no requirement for an IV to oral switch
  • results in earlier time to hospital discharge
  • reduces RTI related hospitalization
  • LIMITATIONS
  • Study design issues
  • Adjustments for multiple comparisons
  • Clinical relevance

41
Efficacy in Principal Studies
42
Early Bacterial Eradication in ABECB
  • Patients with H. influenzae represent only a
    small
  • proportion of patients with ABECB in the
    clinical
  • studies
  • In patients with H. influenzae, no clear
    correlation
  • of early eradication with clinical benefit
  • Early eradication related to pharmacokinetics
  • Eradication favored comparators in some pivotal
  • studies

43
Clinical Success - ITT AnalysisSupportive Studies
44
Applicants Finding Superiority over Comparators
ITT - Considerations
  • A finding limited to the ITT population of
    Supportive Studies 069 and 207
  • Primary analysis of clinical efficacy (PP) -
    non-inferiority
  • Similar response rates in the secondary analyses
    of Bacterial Efficacy in the BPP and BITT
  • Pivotal ABECB studies do not show superiority for
    Clinical Efficacy in ITT and PP population.

45
Efficacy in Severe ABECBStudy 207- Considerations
  • Non-inferior to parenteral therapy in
    hospitalized ABECB
  • open label, non-US study
  • hospitalized patients able to tolerate oral
    therapy limits applicability to ALL hospitalised
    patients requiring parenteral therapy
  • Earlier time to discharge (mean difference of 0.5
    days)
  • clinical significance of a 0.5 day difference
  • multiple secondary endpoints
  • no difference in primary outcome
  • no difference in other related outcomes (time to
    resolution, indirect costs)

46
Prolonged Time to Next Exacerbation Reduced
Respiratory Tract Related Hospitalization -
Considerations
  • Prolonged Time to Next Exacerbation
  • 3 studies - contradictory outcomes
  • one showed a trend favoring FACTIVE (Study 139),
    one favored the comparator (Study 105)
  • Study 112 -primary analysis showed no difference
  • Reduced Respiratory Tract Related Hospitalization
  • Analyses not adjusted for multiple comparisons
  • No difference in other related outcomes (e.g.
    indirect costs)

49
Summary
  • FACTIVE clinical efficacy non-inferior to
    comparators in ABECB
  • Unresolved questions regarding clinical relevance
    or applicability of other findings
