*As defined by IMS, a standard unit is a measure of volume based broadly on the smallest identifiable dose given to a patient, dependent on the pharmaceutical form (a pill, capsule, or ampoule).

• Need new, simplified, affordable regulatory path to new drug approval. – Need FDA and EMA assistance • Financial: new antibiotic has net value of - $50 million at discovery vs. $1 billion for musculoskeletal drug – Antibiotics lose benefit with extensive use – Guidelines promote short course use (vs. chronic use of other drugs) – Max cost of $1000-$3000 / case (vs. up to $80,000 for chemotherapy)
Bartlett JG, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2013 Why such slow antibiotic development? Potential solutions
• Use molecular diagnostics to • Find new substances to screen target antibiotic use and • Private–public partnerships for withhold in viral infection development of new agents • Study short course therapy • Focus on resistant pathogens and use of biomarkers, to and unmet needs to support minimize overuse of higher prices antibiotics • Enhance public commitment to responsible antibiotic use • Enhance infection prevention

• For patients without risk factors for P. aeruginosa, the β-lactam options have been updated. Intravenous cefuroxime has been removed, while ceftaroline has been added. Ceftaroline was not approved during the previous guideline period. In clinical trials, ceftaroline showed superior clinical outcomes compared to ceftriaxone in CAP caused by S pneumoniae and MSSA
• For inpatients with P aeruginosa risk factors, the previous guidelines recommended double gram-negative coverage, but the new guideline recommends 1 antipseudomonal β-lactam

• P. aeruginosa co-resistance is common among 1st line β- lactams
• P. aeruginosa non- susceptible to piperacillin- tazobactam, ceftazidime or meropenem are less susceptible to the other β- lactams, but not ceftolozane/tazobactam

Kollef MH, et al. Chest. 2006;129:1210-1218. Inappropriate Antibiotic Therapy Was Related to Mortality
A meta-analysis of 57 studies assessed the consequences of appropriate* vs inappropriate initial antibiotic therapy in the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections in the hospital setting1
Appropriate Initial Antibiotic Therapy Inappropriate Initial Antibiotic Therapy
Has been related to decrease in mortality of 62% in 39 studies Has been related to increased mortality of 2.5x and increased length of stay by a median of 3 days
*In the majority of studies, appropriate antibiotic therapy was defined based on susceptibility and timeliness of treatment. 1. Raman G et al. BMC Infect Dis. 2015;15(395):1-11. Kumar et al Crit Care Med 2006 Martin-Loeches et al. ICM 2020 Martin-Loeches et al. ICM 2020 Conclusions
• Great news, some new agents in development and in clinical trials
• Superiority to current regimens for CRE infection not completely assessed • Need for RCT, trials in settings other than cIAI, cUTI (e.g. BSI and VAP, MDR infections) • Trials designed for equivalence are a problem
• Most are modifications of older agents, or with new β-lactamase inhibitors • Few options for resistance mechanisms other than beta-lactamases (porin/efflux)
• High costs (may limit access to new agents in resource-poor-settings)
• Need to evaluate their respective potential at individual institutions based on appreciation of local problem pathogens Aiming for ‘normal’
