Intravenous Fosfomycin Pharmacokinetics Study

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)39 enrolled

Overview

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multiple-dose trial conducted at a single center. The treatment period will consist of three 6 g doses (18 g) of ZTI-01 as a 1-hour intravenous (IV) infusion (+10 minute window). A total of 30 enrolled subjects will be randomized to undergo a single standardized bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) at one of five sampling times. A total of 6 subjects will be assigned to each BAL-sampling time. Up to ten additional enrolled subjects will act as alternates to obtain 30 evaluable subjects. An evaluable subject is defined as a subject who receives all doses of ZTI-01, undergoes BAL at the randomized sampling timepoint with BAL return volume adequate for testing, and undergoes at least the one blood sampling timepoint that is concurrent with the assigned BAL sampling timepoint, with blood sampling volume that is adequate for testing. The objectives of the study are to assess safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) for a multiple dose regimen of IV-infused ZTI-01.

Intrapulmonary Pharmacokinetics of ZTI-01

Intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics of ZTI-01 was defined as the percent penetration of lung epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and alveolar macrophages (AMs).

The AUC 0-8 of ELF and AM was calculated using the median result at each BAL sampling timepoint, resulting in a single AUC 0-8 of ELF and AM across all subjects. The AUC 0-8 of plasma fosfomycin was calculated using the median result of the plasma fosfomycin concentrations at the corresponding BAL timepoint.
