Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TTPH), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel antibiotics to treat life-threatening multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections, recently declared that the IGNITE2 phase 3 clinical trial of eravacycline administered as an IV to oral transition therapy for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) did not achieve its primary endpoint of statistical non-inferiority contrast to levofloxacin.

Macdonald added, “We continue to believe that eravacycline can benefit patients with serious infections, particularly those caused by difficult-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria.”

The pivotal portion of the phase 3 IGNITE2 clinical trial enrolled 908 patients who were randomized 1:1 to receive eravacycline (1.5 mg/kg intravenously every 24 hours followed by 200 mg orally every 12 hours) or levofloxacin (750 mg intravenously every 24 hours followed by 750 mg orally every 24 hours). Each patient received a minimum of 3 days of IV dosing and then, if clinically indicated, were eligible to transition to oral therapy for the remaining doses for a total treatment period of 7 days. For the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the primary analysis evaluated the responder outcome (a combination of clinical cure rate and microbiological response) in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (micro-ITT) population at the Post-Treatment (PT) visit (defined as 6-8 days after the completion of therapy) using a 10% non-inferiority margin. For the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the primary analysis evaluated the microbiological response in the microbiologically modified ITT (micro-MITT) population and microbiologically evaluable (ME) populations at the PT visit using a 10% non-inferiority margin. Eravacycline did not achieve the primary endpoint under either analysis.
