1 Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia: Is There Anything New? Steve Vacalis DO CaroMont Health Regional Medical Center Gastonia, North Carolina

2 This presentation is sponsored by: and supported by an educational grant from Cempra Pharmaceuticals

3 Sign up for free membership at pcrg-us.org The Primary Care Respiratory Group (PCRG) is a national educational initiative providing comprehensive respiratory disease education. PCRG s mission is to provide a representative forum for primary care clinicians involved in respiratory disease management and raise standards of patient care through the dissemination of best practices, education programs, and communication among members.

4 Disclosure: Dr. Vacalis discloses that he is on the advisory board and speakers bureau for CEMPRA

5 Learning Objectives: Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) After participating in this activity, the clinician will be able to: Describe CAP microbial trends in the US and their impact on clinical outcomes Choose evidence-based empiric antibiotic therapy based on reported sensitivity patterns Identify patients who require broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy Modify therapy in patients who don t respond to initial antibiotic therapy List medications on the horizon for communityacquired bacterial pneumonia

6

7 Only 2 Antibiotics Approved for Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia Since 2007 Tigecycline (2009) Ceftaroline fosamil (2010) Both are injectable antibiotics

8 So is there really anything to talk about? Yes!

9 CAP Overview Epidemiologic Concerns Significant morbidity and mortality Costs and hospital length of stay New Dx tests for wider array of pathogens Pathogen sesnsitivy evolving New definition of CABP Collateral damage therapeutic change New antibiotics on the horizon

10 Case Study RD is a 59 y.o. male presenting with cough, fever (oral ) and DOE Hx & PE and CXR: probable CABP Rx: macrolide pending lab confirmation 4 days later: RD complaining of continued Sx including fever Do you admit or treat as an outpatient? If treated as an outpatient, Do you culture? What antibiotic(s) do you start? What do you do if he doesn t get better?

29 Factors Associated with Non- Responsive CAP in Primary Care Retrospective analysis 250 adult CAP (n = 250) initially managed in primary care clinic 85 cases (ie, non-responsive), 165 controls Non-responsive CAP defined as worsening symptoms after 4 days or no improvement within 10 days Rx Non-responder initial Rx macrolide (33%), quinolone (35%), no antibiotic (11%), amoxicillin/amox-clav (6%) Factors predicting non-responsiveness Former smoker (odds ratio 2.27) Initial presentation to urgent care (OR 2.10) Myalgia (odds ratio 2.79) Vander Wyst KB, et al. J Patient Cent Res Rev. 2016;3:79-89.

30 CAP: Common Management Strategies Dx based on symptoms, lab, radiography Severity Scores; PSI, CURB-65 Potential lab: CBC, CMP, CXR, Gram stain, culture Anitbiotics: range from none/mono/combo If patient not improving: Broaden further (vancomycin, 3 rd generationcephalosporin, carbapenem???) Perform diagnostic procedure Broader Rx, hospital stay more collateral damage

31 Antibiotics on the Horizon Lefamulin - pleuromutilin Omadacycline - tetracycline Sitafloxacin - fluoroquinolone Solithromycin - fluoroketolide

32 Omadacycline Oral and IV tetracycline 1 Potent activity against resistant Grampositive bacteria, including S. pneumoniae and MRSA 2,3 Comparable to tigecycline Good oral bioavailability 1 No significant nausea/vomiting 1 1. Honeyman L, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2015;59(11): Draper MP, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2014;58(3): Macone AB, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2014;58(2):

33 Sitafloxacin Oral fluoroquinolone High activity against S. pneumoniae, ESBLproducing E. coli and K. pneumoniae 1,2 7 days of treatment resulted in clinical improvement (94.2%) and bacteriologic cure (95.4%) in S. pneumoniae CABP (N=72) 1 Photosensitivity in Caucasians a concern 3 1.

34 Lefamulin Oral and IV pleuromutilin antibiotic Potent activity against multi-drug-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae 1 macrolide-sensitive and macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae 2 Granted qualified infectious disease product/fast track status by FDA LEAP2 study- comparison with moxifloxacin in moderate CABP (in progress) 1. Mendes RE, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2016;60(7): Waites K, et al. American Society for Microbiology 2016 Scientific Program; June 16-20, 2016, Boston, MA

35 Solithromycin Oral and IV fluoroketolide Highly active against macrolide-resistant S. pneumoniae 1,2 M. catarrhalis 2 2X less active than azithromycin for H. influenzae 2 Good activity against S. aureus, including MRSA 2 Clinical trial mod-moderately severe CABP; outcome: Sx response at 72 hrs solithromycin vs levofloxacin: non-inferior solithromycin vs moxifloxacin: non-inferior 1.

36 Summary and Conclusions CAP: still a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, demanding substantial health care resources Wide array of CAP pathogens, with frequent inability to confirm a pathogen S pneumoniae & mycoplasma susceptibility continues to evolve Antibiotic selection difficult: etiology often uncertain, concern about collateral damage Few new antibiotics for CAP: some pending
