P-1170. Impact of Increased Severity of Illness on Outcomes in Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (cUTI) from ZEUS, a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) Evaluating IV Fosfomycin (IV-FOS)

Abstract Background cUTIs remain a significant cause of hospital admissions and are an economic burden. IV-FOS is a first-in-class injectable epoxide antibiotic under development. A randomized trial (RCT) comparing IV-FOS to piperacillin-tazobactam (PIP-TAZ) in patients suffering from cUTIs demonstrated noninferiority with 64.7% of IV-FOS vs 54.5% of PIP-TAZ groups achieving a favorable response. We sought to compare outcomes within two subgroups: 1) patients with a high burden of chronic illness, and 2) patients with severe acute disease.Table 1.Clinical, Microbiological and Overall Response for Patients meeting SIRs Criteria or a CCI of ≥ 3 (m-MITT population) Methods Two subgroup analyses of the phase 2/3 RCT of IV-FOS vs PIP-TAZ were conducted. A composite of clinical response, defined as both clinical success and microbiologic eradication, within the microbiologic-modified intention to treat (m-MITT) population, served as the primary endpoint. High chronic illness burden was defined as a Charlson co-morbidity index (CCI) > 3, while severe acute disease was based on meeting criteria for the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Results Of 465 patients randomized, 362 (77.8%; 184 IV-FOS and 178 PIP-TAZ) constituted the m-MITT population. Within this group, 140 (38.7%; 37.5% IV-FOS vs 39.9% PIP-TAZ) had a CCI ≥ 3 and 114 (31.5%; 33.7% IV-FOS vs 29.2% PIP-TAZ) met the SIRS criteria. In unadjusted analyses, clinical response rates were similar between IV-FOS and PIP-TAZ in the two treatment groups among both patients with CCI ≥ 3 (49.3% IV-FOS vs 40.8% PIP-TAZ, p=NS) and those with SIRS (66.1% IV-FOS vs 75% PIP-TAZ, p=NS). For both subgroups, the individual components of the composites of clinical response as a function of study drug behaved similarly (Table 1).
