About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of a Single Dose of Exebacase in Patients Receiving Standard-of-Care Antibiotics for the Treatment of Staphylococcus Aureus Bloodstream Infections (Bacteremia), Including Right-Sided Infective Endocarditis

The purpose of this superiority study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of exebacase in addition to standard of care antibiotics (SoCA) compared with SoCA alone for the treatment of patients with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bloodstream infections (BSI), including right-sided infective endocarditis (IE). Patients will be randomized to receive a single intravenous dose of exebacase or placebo. Patients will receive SoCA selected by the investigators based on the protocol.

Exebacase, a direct lytic agent, is an entirely new treatment modality against S. aureus. Exebacase is a recombinantly-produced, purified cell wall hydrolase enzyme that results in rapid bacteriolysis, potent biofilm eradication, synergy with antibiotics, low propensity for resistance, and the potential to suppress antibiotic resistance when used together with antibiotics. Exebacase represents a first-in-field, first-in-class treatment with the potential to improve clinical outcome when used in addition to SoCA to treat S. aureus BSI including IE.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ExebacaseDrug

    Participants will receive a single IV infusion of exebacase in addition to SoCA selected by the investigator. Participants with normal renal function or mild renal impairment will be administered a dose of 18 mg; participants with moderate or severe renal impairment will be administered a dose of 12 mg of exebacase; participants with end-stage renal disease, including those on hemodialysis, will be administered a dose of 8 mg of exebacase.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Participants will receive a single IV infusion of placebo in addition to SoCA selected by the investigator.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Responder Rate at Day 14 in the MRSA Population in the Microbiological Intent-to-treat (mITT) Analysis Set

    Clinical outcome of responder was defined as survival with resolution or 2-grade improvement of attributable signs and symptoms and negative blood cultures by Day 14, and without new signs or symptoms, new metastatic foci or septic emboli, or change in antibiotics due to lack of response.

    Measured: Day 14

  2. Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Through Day 60

    Number and percentage of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Measured: Through Day 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Exebacase in people with Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia and Staphylococcus Aureus Endocarditis, run by ContraFect at 55 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 55 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Oct 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Responder Rate at Day 14 in the MRSA Population in the Microbiological Intent-to-treat (mITT) Analysis Set (time frame: Day 14). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04160468, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
