E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
PART A: • Analysis of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) targets considering currently established/discussed breakpoints • Probability of target attainment (PTA) analysis for different pathogens (in collaboration) • Safety and tolerability of both modes of administration
PART B: • Analysis of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) targets and comparison to currently established/discussed breakpoints • Probability of target attainment (PTA) analysis for different pathogens (in collaboration). • Collection of safety data regarding continuously administered fosfomycin. Exploratory: assessment of clinical cure rate and microbiological cure rate

PART B: • Known allergy or hypersensitivity against study drug • Any disease considered relevant for proper performance of the study, or risks to the patient, at the discretion of the investigator • Impaired renal function denoted by an estimated GFR of <40 mL/min according to Cockroft-Gault at study inclusion • Requiring hemofiltration or hemodialysis • Pregnancy • Other factors that preclude study participation in the opinion of the investigator

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) from 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) calculated by multiplying AUC0-8 (as determined in part A, study period I) times three and calculated by multiplying steady-state concentrations under continuous infusion times 24 (in part A, study period II as well as in part B) |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
-Maximum concentration (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (tmax), half-life (t1/2), total body clearance (CL), apparent volume of distribution (VD), concentration during therapy and at defined points after end of therapy (Cx) in plasma (PARTs A and B) or ELF (PART B), respectively. -PK/PD relationships: ratio of AUC from 0 to 24 hours to the minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC0-24/MIC); percentage of the dosing interval during which drug concentrations exceed the MIC (%T>MIC); ratio of the peak concentration to the MIC (Cmax/MIC) -probability of target attainment (PTA) analysis for relevant pathogens (collaboration) -collection of adverse events during study participation
Exploratory endpoints (PART B only): Clinical cure rate (CCR) and (in case a pathogen that is susceptible to fosfomycin was isolated before initiation of fosfomycin treatment) microbiological cure rate (MCR) will be assessed in an exploratory way.
