11 DESCRIPTION XACDURO (sulbactam for injection and durlobactam for injection) is an antibacterial co-packaged product containing sulbactam sodium, a penicillin derivative beta-lactam antibacterial and beta-lactamase inhibitor, and durlobactam sodium, a diazabicyclooctane beta-lactamase inhibitor, for intravenous administration. Sulbactam Sodium Sulbactam sodium is a beta-lactam antibacterial and a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Chemically, sulbactam sodium is sodium penicillinate sulfone; sodium (2S, 5R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo [3.2.0] heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide. Sulbactam is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in water and its empirical formula is C 8 H 10 NNaO 5 S with a molecular weight of 255.22. Figure 1: Chemical structure of sulbactam sodium Figure 1 Durlobactam Sodium Durlobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor antibacterial drug. Chemically, durlobactam sodium is sodium (2 S ,5 R )-2-carbamoyl-3-methyl-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-6-yl sulfate. Durlobactam sodium is the pure (2S,5R)-enantiomer of the trans diastereoisomer. It is a white to yellow amorphous powder that is freely soluble in water. The empirical formula is C 8 H 10 N 3 NaO 6 S and the molecular weight (sodium salt) is 299.23.

What Is Sulbactam And Durlobactam Used For?

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE XACDURO is a co-packaged product containing sulbactam, a beta-lactam antibacterial and beta lactamase inhibitor, and durlobactam, a beta lactamase inhibitor, indicated in patients 18 years of age and older for the treatment of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP), caused by susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex. ( 1.1 ) Limitations of Use : XACDURO is not indicated for the treatment of HABP/VABP caused by pathogens other than susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex. ( 1.1 , 14 ) To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of XACDURO and other antibacterial drugs, XACDURO should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. ( 1.2 ) 1.1 Hospital-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia and Ventilator-associated Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP/VABP) XACDURO is indicated in patients 18 years of age and older for the treatment of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP), caused by susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex. Limitations of Use XACDURO is not indicated for the treatment of HABP/VABP caused by pathogens other than susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . 1.2 Usage To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of XACDURO and other antibacterial drugs, XACDURO should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described in greater detail in the Warnings and Precautions section: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] The most common adverse reactions (incidence > 10%) were liver test abnormalities, diarrhea, anemia, and hypokalemia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Entasis Therapeutics Inc. at 1-800-651-3861 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, therefore adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of durlobactam with or without sulbactam was evaluated in 380 adult subjects across six phase 1 trials, one phase 2 trial in patients with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) including acute pyelonephritis, and one phase 3 trial (also referred to as Trial 1) in adult patients with infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex including hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), and ventilated pneumonia (VP) [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. In the randomized, active-controlled portion of the phase 3 trial, 91 patients received XACDURO (1 g sulbactam and 1 g durlobactam, or renally adjusted dose) intravenously over 3 hours every 6 hours and 86 patients were treated with colistin 2.5 mg/kg (or renally adjusted dose) intravenously over 30 minutes every 12 hours after an initial loading dose of colistin 2.5 to 5 mg/kg. Both treatment arms also received 1 g imipenem/1 g cilastatin (or renally adjusted dose) intravenously every 6 hours as background therapy for potential HABP/VABP pathogens other than Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex. The mean duration of XACDURO therapy was 9 days versus 8 days for colistin. Serious Adverse Reactions and Discontinuation of Treatment Thirty-six patients (40%) in the XACDURO treatment group and 42 patients (49%) in the colistin treatment group experienced serious adverse reactions. Discontinuation of treatment due to any adverse reaction occurred in 10/91 (11%) patients treated with XACDURO and in 14/86 (16%) patients treated with colistin. One patient treated with XACDURO developed anaphylactic shock which led to discontinuation of treatment. Common Adverse Reactions Adverse reactions were reported in 88% (80/91) of patients in the XACDURO treatment group and 94% (81/86) of patients in the colistin treatment group. The most common adverse reactions reported in >10% of patients treated with XACDURO were liver test abnormalities, diarrhea, anemia, and hypokalemia.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary XACDURO There are no available data on the use of XACDURO in pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Individual Components of XACDURO Sulbactam: Available published data from case reports and case series with sulbactam use in combination with ampicillin during pregnancy over many decades have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. The published literature reports that sulbactam crosses the human placenta. Reproduction studies have been performed in mice, rats, and rabbits at doses up to ten (10) times the human dose and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to sulbactam (see Data ). Durlobactam: There are no available data on the use of durlobactam in pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Durlobactam administered to pregnant mice and rats during organogenesis, showed no drug-induced fetal malformations but an increased incidence of skeletal variations was observed in mice at 2- and 4-times the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD) (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Sulbactam: Reproduction studies have been performed in mice, rats, and rabbits at doses up to ten (10) times the human dose and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium. Durlobactam: Daily administration of durlobactam at 400, 800, or 1600 mg/kg/day (administered as four doses per day) via...

Overdosage

10 OVERDOSAGE There is no information on the clinical signs and symptoms associated with an overdose of XACDURO.
