SHIONOGI/ECCMID-2017
Shionogi & Co., Ltd. today announced it will be presenting new data on cefiderocol (S-649266), an investigational siderophore cephalosporin in late stage development with activity against a broad range of Gram-negative pathogens, including those highly resistant to currently available agents such as colistin and carbapenem-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Acinetobacter baumannii , and Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , and S-033188, an investigational cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor targeting influenza at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), held in Vienna, Austria, April 22 – 25, 2017.
Highlights of cefiderocol presentations include first time clinical trial efficacy results, as well as supportive in vitro data, and S-033188 presentations will showcase both clinical and non-clinical data (e.g., non-clinical efficacy against avian influenza virus A/H5N1).

Cefiderocol—an investigational antibiotic agent 1
Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin with a novel mechanism for efficiently penetrating the outer cell membrane of Gram-negative pathogens. Cefiderocol binds to ferric iron and is actively transported into bacterial cells through the outer membrane via the bacterial iron transporters which function to incorporate this essential nutrient for bacteria.2 This Trojan Horse strategy allows cefiderocol to achieve higher concentrations in the periplasmic space where it can then bind to receptors and inhibit cell wall synthesis in the bacterial cells.3 In addition, cefiderocol is stable against all known classes of beta-lactamases, including both the metallo- and serine-carbapenemases.4 Data from global surveillance studies for cefiderocol demonstrated potent in vitro activity against a wide spectrum of Gram-negative pathogens including carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacteriaceae and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. 5
About the regulatory pathway of cefiderocol
Cefiderocol is currently in clinical development and recently completed a US registrational study in patients with cUTI (APEKS*-cUTI). An additional Phase 3 trial in patients with carbapenem-resistant pathogens at various infection sites (CREDIBLE-CR) is ongoing. In 2017 Shionogi will initiate a Phase 3 HAP/VAP/HCAP† (APEKS*-NP‡) clinical trial. The Company plans to submit a new drug application to the U.S. FDA in 2017 and to the EMA in 2018. Information is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov under the identifiers NCT02321800, NCT02714595 and NCT03032380, respectively.

About Influenza
Epidemic and pandemic influenza remain a major public health concern, and novel influenza drugs that will offer significant improvement over current therapy are urgently needed. Worldwide, annual influenza epidemics are estimated to result in 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness, and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths.6 In general, those at highest risk of influenza-associated complications include children under 2 years of age, adults over 65 years of age, pregnant women, and people of any age with certain medical conditions, including chronic heart, lung, metabolic diseases (such as diabetes) and weakened immune systems.
About S-033188
S-033188 is a cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor with a novel mechanism of action being studied for the treatment of influenza. S-033188 is an investigational product being developed for one-time dosing, and has the potential to be more effective than existing marketed anti-influenza products. Development and commercialization are in collaboration with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.
