This study is intended to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of a single dose of IV and oral formulations of lefamulin in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causative pathogens associated with exacerbations of CF. Current treatment guidelines for the management of exacerbations of CF caused by S. aureus recommend the use of unapproved antibacterial agents. Further, many of the recommended treatments can only be administered via the IV route and/or have limitations due to safety and tolerability. Lefamulin is a novel, first-in-class, IV and oral pleuromutilin antimicrobial agent that has been demonstrated to be highly potent against S. aureus, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and strains obtained from patients with CF. Cystic fibrosis patients have altered drug distribution and elimination kinetics for many antimicrobials relative to patients without CF. While the advent of Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (protein) (CFTR) modulators has resulted in improved lung function and had a positive impact on the quality of life of CF patients, limited data have been published describing the impact of the concomitant use of CFTR modulators and commonly used antibacterial agents.

The Median for Lefamulin and Its Main Metabolite BC-8041 for PK Plasma Parameter Tmax in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Patients.
Appropriate non-compartmental techniques were used to obtain estimates for the PK parameter Tmax in plasma for lefamulin and its metabolite BC-8041. Time to reach maximum plasma concentration of lefamulin following drug administration (Tmax) Tmax will be determined by direct inspection of the concentration versus time data by WinNonlin.
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5 hr, 1 hr, 1.5 hrs, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs & 24 hrs Post-dose
The Key Geometric Mean for Lefamulin and Its Main Metabolite BC-8041 for PK Plasma Parameter Cmax in CF Patients.
Appropriate non-compartmental techniques will be used to obtain estimates for the PK parameter Cmax in plasma for lefamulin and its metabolite BC-8041. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) Cmax was determined by direct inspection of the concentration versus time data by WinNonlin.
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5 hr, 1 hr, 1.5 hrs, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs & 24 hrs Post-dose
The Key Geometric Mean for Lefamulin and Its Main Metabolite BC-8041 for PK Plasma Parameter AUC(0-last) in CF Patients.
Appropriate non-compartmental techniques will be used to obtain estimates for the PK parameter (AUC0-last) in plasma for lefamulin and its metabolite BC-8041. AUC calculations will be performed using the linear/log trapezoidal rule. AUC0-last will be calculated between t0hr and the last measurable concentration. Area under the drug concentration curve from time zero (0 h) to 24 h (AUC0-last)
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5 hr, 1 hr, 1.5 hrs, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs & 24 hrs Post-dose
The Key Geometric Mean for Lefamulin and Its Main Metabolite BC-8041 for PK Plasma Parameter AUC(0-inf) in CF Patients.
Appropriate non-compartmental techniques will be used to obtain estimates for PK parameter AUC(0-inf) in plasma for lefamulin and its metabolite BC-8041. AUC calculations will be performed using the linear/log trapezoidal rule. AUC(0-inf) will be will be calculated between t0hr and infinity. Area under the drug concentration curve from time zero (0 h) to infinity (AUC(0-inf)
