Abstract:
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens are a continuously evolving threat for which there are limited effective treatment modalities. Omadacycline (OMC) is a novel oral and intravenously administered aminomethylcycline with potent in-vitro activity against MDR gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens. Post-marketing data investigating its potential place in the antibiotic armamentarium is limited. This study aimed at describing the clinical success and tolerability of patients receiving OMC for various infections. Methods This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study conducted from January 2020 to March 30, 2022. We included all patients ≥ 18 years of age that received OMC for any infection not related to Mycobacterium spp. for ≥72 hours. The primary outcome was clinical success at 30 days, defined as survival, the absence of persistence or re-emergence of infection during or after therapy, and the absence of escalation or alteration of OMC. Incidence of adverse effects while on OMC and reasons for OMC utilization were also analyzed. Results This analysis included 19 patients from 10 distinct academic centers. The median age was 50 years (IQR, 37-63), 58% were male, 63% were Caucasian, and the median APACHE II, Charlson and SOFA scores were 10 (IQR 5-12.5), 4 (IQR 2-6.3), and 1 (IQR 0 – 2.25), respectively. Most patients had a bone and joint (8/19, 42.1%) or intra-abdominal infections (4/19, 21.1%), all with positive cultures. Eight patients (44.1%) had a polymicrobial infection and 4 (22.2%) had bacteremia. The most common pathogens encountered were Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (5/19, 27.8%), E. coli (5/19, 27.8%), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. (4/19, 22.2%), and K. pneumoniae (3/19, 16.7%). Clinical success was observed in 14 patients (74%) and 7 (36.8%) received combination therapy. Adverse drug reactions were reported in 3 patients (15.8%) and of those patients, none discontinued therapy. Reasons for prescribing OMC were mostly attributed to oral availability (12/14, 85.7%) and resistance to other agents (7/14, 50%). Conclusion OMC demonstrated clinical effectiveness and safety against a large number of MDR pathogens. More robust, prospective, comparative studies are needed to confirm our preliminary findings.
