CEFTO-CURE study: CEFTObiprole Clinical Use in Real-lifE - a multi-centre experience in Italy.
Ceftobiprole is approved in Europe for treatment of community-acquired pneumonia and non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in adults. Real-world data are limited.. This multi-centre, observational, ambispective investigator-initiated study was undertaken in Italy from January 2018 to December 2019 in order to evaluate the use of ceftobiprole in a real-world setting.. Overall, 195 patients from 10 centres were evaluated (68% retrospectively). Male sex was prevalent (n=121, 62%). Median age was 67 [interquartile range (IQR) 53-75] years. Median Charlson Comorbidity Index score was 5 (IQR 3-7). The most common indication was pneumonia (151/195, 77%), especially HAP. Other uses were skin and soft tissue infections (5%), endocarditis (4%) and bone infections (4%). Ceftobiprole was usually an empiric choice (65%), in combination with other drugs (66%) and as second-line therapy (58%). A causative agent was found in 39% of cases. A diagnosis of sepsis was made in 59 cases (30%). Success in the clinically evaluable population (excluding 12 cases due to isolation of pathogens outside ceftobiprole's spectrum of activity) was obtained in 79% of cases, with all-cause mortality of 20%. On multi-level analysis, three predictors were positively associated with clinical success: male gender, pneumonia and detection of causal agent. Sepsis was a negative predictor. Nine factors were independently associated, favourably or unfavourably, with fatal outcome.. Ceftobiprole is a safe and effective therapeutic choice, even in a real-world setting. More data are needed to establish its efficacy in patients with sepsis.

In vitro and in vivo properties of Ro 63-9141, a novel broad-spectrum cephalosporin with activity against methicillin-resistant staphylococci.
Ro 63-9141 is a new member of the pyrrolidinone-3-ylidenemethyl cephem series of cephalosporins. Its antibacterial spectrum was evaluated against significant gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens in comparison with those of reference drugs, including cefotaxime, cefepime, meropenem, and ciprofloxacin. Ro 63-9141 showed high antibacterial in vitro activity against gram-positive bacteria except ampicillin-resistant enterococci, particularly vancomycin-resistant strains of Enterococcus faecium. Its MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited (MIC(90)) for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was 4 microg/ml. Ro 63-9141 was bactericidal against MRSA. Development of resistance to the new compound in MRSA was not observed. Ro 63-9141 was more potent than cefotaxime against penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (MIC(90) = 2 microg/ml). It was active against ceftazidime-susceptible strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and against Enterobacteriaceae except Proteus vulgaris and some isolates producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. The basis for the antibacterial spectrum of Ro 63-9141 lies in its affinity to essential penicillin-binding proteins, including PBP 2' of MRSA, and its stability towards beta-lactamases. The in vivo findings were in accordance with the in vitro susceptibilities of the pathogens. These data suggest the potential utility of Ro 63-9141 for the therapy of infections caused by susceptible pathogens, including MRSA. Since insufficient solubility of Ro 63-9141 itself precludes parenteral administration in humans, a water-soluble prodrug, Ro 65-5788, is considered for development.
