Early phase II study of doripenem, a new carbapenem antibiotic for injection Jingoro Shimada, Keizo Yamaguchi, Kohya Shiba, Atsushi Saito, Sadao Kamidono and Takeshi Inamatsu Institute of Medical Science, St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Sugao Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan Department of Microbiology, Toho University School of Medicine Department of Department of Infection Control, Jikei University Faculty of Medicine, University of the Ryukyus Kobe University, School of Medicine Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Medical Center A multicenter prospective early phase II study was conducted at sites in Japan in patients with internal and urologic infection to evaluate the dosage and administration of doripenem DRPM, a new carbapenem antibiotic for injection, and to assess its safety and efficacy. Subjects numbered, of whom internal medicine:, urology: were evaluated for efficacy, for safety in abnormal laboratory test findings, and in abnormal symptoms. The usefulness of DRPM in was evaluated and DRPM concentration in the sputum determined in. DRPM was administered intravenously for to minutes at mg b. i. d., mg b. i. d., mg t. i. d., and mg b. i. d., with the following results: Efficacy was 9. 9 in internal medicine patients and 9. in urology patients, for an overall efficacy of 9.. Bacterial eradication was 8. 9 in internal medicine patients and 9. in urology patients, for an overall bacterial eradication of 9.9. In safety, adverse drug reactions symptoms observed in patients events: tongue numbness, headache, and rash were not serious and disappeared after completion of treatment. Adverse drug reactions abnormal laboratory test findings observed in patients events included increased GPT cases,got cases, and eosinophilia cases, all of which were slight and improved or returned to normal after completion of treatment. Overall safety was 98.. Of the patients evaluated for DRPM usefulness, usefulness rate 9.9 9 in internal medicine patients and 9.9 in urology patients, for an overall usefulness of 9.. These results show that DRPM has the expected efficacy without adverse drug reactions that might raise clinical issues, so DRPM is expected to produce sufficient therapeutic effect in treating target infection.
