Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 12, 2016, Achaogen, Inc. ("Achaogen") announced that its lead product candidate, plazomicin, met the objective of non-inferiority compared to meropenem for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and achieved superiority for the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") primary efficacy endpoints in the Phase 3 EPIC registration trial in patients with complicated urinary tract infections ("cUTI") and acute pyelonephritis ("AP"). In addition, in the Phase 3 CARE trial in patients with serious infections due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ("CRE"), a lower rate of mortality or serious disease-related complications was observed for plazomicin compared with colistin therapy, one of the few remaining antibiotics for treatment of infections due to CRE.
Achaogen plans to submit a New Drug Application ("NDA"), which will include EPIC and CARE data, to the FDA in the second half of 2017. Achaogen also plans to submit a Marketing Authorization Application ("MAA") to the EMA in 2018. In addition, Achaogen plans to publicly present detailed results from both the EPIC and CARE trials in 2017.
In the EPIC trial, plazomicin successfully met the objective of non-inferiority compared to meropenem for the FDA-specified primary efficacy endpoints, and achieved superiority for the EMA-specified primary efficacy endpoints.
Results for FDA pre-specified composite endpoint of clinical cure and microbiological eradication in the microbiological modified intent-to-treat ("mMITT") population were as follows:
•
Day 5: 88.0% plazomicin vs. 91.4% meropenem (difference -3.4%, 95% CI: -10.0, 3.1%), indicating statistical non-inferiority
•
Test-of-Cure: 81.7% plazomicin vs. 70.1% meropenem (difference 11.6%, 95% CI: 2.7, 20.3%), indicating statistical superiority
Results for EMA-specified endpoints of microbiological eradication at the test-of-cure visit were as follows:
•
mMITT: 87.4% plazomicin vs. 72.1% meropenem (difference 15.4%, 95% CI: 7.5, 23.2%), indicating statistical superiority
•
ME: 90.5% plazomicin vs. 76.6% meropenem (difference 13.9%, 95% CI: 6.3, 21.7%), indicating statistical superiority

Difference = plazomicin minus meropenem
Plazomicin was well tolerated with no new safety concerns identified in the EPIC trial. Total treatment emergent adverse events ("TEAEs") related to renal function were reported in 3.6% and 1.3% of patients in the plazomicin and meropenem groups, respectively. TEAEs related to cochlear or vestibular function were reported in a single patient in each of the plazomicin and meropenem treatment groups. Both events were considered mild and resolved completely.
In the Phase 3 CARE trial in patients with serious infections due to CRE a lower rate of mortality or serious disease-related complications was observed for plazomicin compared with colistin therapy.
Results from the CARE trial were as follows:
•
Day 28 all-cause mortality or significant disease related complications (primary endpoint); 23.5% plazomicin vs. 50.0% colistin (difference 26.5%, 90% CI: -0.7, 51.2%)
•
Day 28 all-cause mortality; 11.8% plazomicin vs. 40.0% colistin (difference 28.2%, 90% CI: 0.7, 52.5%)

The safety profile of plazomicin was favorable to that of colistin in critically ill patients in the CARE trial. Study drug-related TEAEs related to renal function were reported in 16.7% and 38.1% of patients in the plazomicin and colistin groups, respectively. No TEAEs related to cochlear or vestibular function were reported in either group.

The trial enrolled 609 patients who were randomized 1:1 to receive plazomicin 15 mg/kg as a once daily 30-minute intravenous ("IV") infusion or meropenem 1.0 gram every 8 hours as a 30 minute IV infusion. After a minimum of 4 days of IV therapy, patients who met protocol-defined criteria for improvement were allowed to step-down to oral levofloxacin to complete a total of 7 to 10 days of therapy (IV plus oral).

The study included two cohorts of patients. Cohort 1 (N=39) was a randomized, comparator-controlled cohort to compare plazomicin with colistin (either in combination with meropenem or tigecycline) for the treatment of bloodstream infection ("BSI"), hospital acquired bacterial pneumonia ("HABP") or ventilator associated bacterial pneumonia ("VABP") due to CRE. Cohort 1 enrolled 30 patients with BSI and 9 patients with HABP/VABP. Cohort 2 (N=30) was a single-arm expanded access cohort to evaluate plazomicin-based therapy in patients with BSI, HABP/VABP or cUTI due to CRE who were not eligible for enrollment in Cohort 1.
The primary analysis for Cohort 1 was conducted in the mMITT population (patients with confirmed CRE infection) and was defined as all-cause mortality at Day 28 or significant disease related complications. Due to limitations of the small sample size, no formal statistical hypothesis testing was performed, but a two-sided 90% exact confidence interval is provided to describe the degree of variability around the observed differences.
