A Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized, Active-controlled Evaluation of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of LBP-EC01 in the Treatment of Acute Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection Caused by Drug Resistant E. Coli

Locus Biosciences

Summary

This is a Phase 2 superiority study of LBP-EC01, a recombinant bacteriophage cocktail, with an initial open-label 3-arm pharmacokinetic (PK) lead-in portion of 30 patients to evaluate the optimal dosing regimen to be used in the subsequent 288 patient blinded portion of the study which will be randomized 1:1 comparing LBP-EC01 + antibiotic versus placebo + antibiotic in patients with a history of prior urinary tract infection (UTI) cased by E. coli. All patients will be required to have an active acute uncomplicated UTI at baseline.

Description

This study will consist of two parts. Part 1 - Dose regimen selection: An open-label, 30 patient, 3-arm PK assessment of: Arm 4 (previously 1): LBP-EC01 (approximately 2×10\^12 PFU) given by IU administration on D1 and D2 and LBP-EC01 (approximately 1×10\^11 PFU) IV given as a 1 milliliter (mL) bolus QD from D1 through D3 concomitantly with oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP 160mg/SMX 800mg) BID from D1 through D3 (6 doses); Arm 5 (previously 2): LBP-EC01 (approximately 2×10\^12 PFU) given by IU administration on D1 and D2 and LBP-EC01 (approximately 1×10\^10 PFU) IV given as a 1 mL bolu…

Eligibility

Age range: 18–75 years
Sex: Female
Healthy volunteers: No

Detailed criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * History of UTI in the past 12 months and prior or current uUTI caused by AMR E. coli (as single pathogen or part of polymicrobial infection where E. coli is the predominant pathogen). Please note that the current infection can be used to meet the requirement of AMR E. coli documentation. * Able to supply a mid-stream, clean catch urine sample for microbiological analysis. * Active acute uUTI infection defined by: a. Evidence of pyuria: i. \>10 white blood cell (WBC)/mL3 on microscopic evaluation of spun, clean, mid-stream urine specimen or \>3 WBC/high power field on…
