A Phase 2a Study, Effect of Vancomycin With vs Without Delpazolid (LCB01-0371) in Patients With MRSA Bacteremia

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
MRSA Bacteremia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05225558
Lead Sponsor
LigaChem Biosciences, Inc.
Brief Summary

The objectives of this study is to exploratory whether Vancomycin + Delpazolid is more effective to the standard of treatment (Vancomycin)/ for hospitalized adults with MRSA bacteraemia.

Detailed Description

The mortality from S aureus bacteremia is higher for MRSA than for methicillin-susceptible S aureus (MSSA), typically at 20% to 25%.

The current standard therapy for MRSA bacteremia is Vancomycin. Vancomycin has many shortcomings, including poor tissue penetration and slow killing time. Vancomycin has reduced efficacy against MRSA and tended to increase the MIC level (called MIC creep). Addition of Delpazolid to Vancomycin could improve the known drawbacks of Vancomycin alone.

* 'Overall cure' means that there are no symptoms of infection that existed when enrolled in the clinical trial, there are no new metastatic infection due to MRSA and no new infection (clinical improvement), and MRSA negative is confirmed twice in a row as a result of blood culture tests (clearance of bacteremia). If negative in the blood culture test is confirmed for the first time, additional test will be performed the next day, and if it results negative for a total of two times in a row, it is judged as 'clearance of bacteremia'.
