Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Proportion of Patients With All-Cause Mortality in CRABC m-MITT Population
28 Days

The primary efficacy endpoint for the study is 28-day all-cause mortality in the CRABC m-MITT population in Part A.

Proportion of Patients With Nephrotoxicity
28 days

The primary safety endpoint for the study is nephrotoxicity, as measured by the Risk-Injury-Failure-Loss-End-stage renal disease (RIFLE) criteria, in the MITT population in Part A.

The primary outcome of the Intervention Program is microbiological clearance of Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) with good tolerance of the interventions.
Screening (Day 0) to End of treatment plus four weeks off-treatment (Final Outcome Visit (Week 56 for those allocated to Immediate Consolidation or Week 62 for those allocated to Prolonged Intensive).

Definition of MABS clearance at final outcome: Negative MABS cultures from four consecutive sputum samples with one of those sputum specimens collected four weeks after the completion of consolidation therapy, or a MABS negative Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) collected four weeks after completion of consolidation. Definition of tolerance: Tolerance is based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 5.0). Only adverse events that are attributed as either "possibly-", "probably-", or "definitely-" related to study drug will be assessed in the determination of tolerance. "Good" tolerance is defined as no adverse events occurring or only adverse events coded as CTCAE grades 1 and 2. "Poor" tolerance is defined as any adverse events attributed as possibly-, probably-, or definitely-related to study drug coded as CTCAE grades 3, 4, or 5.

Nested Study A3.1 Type of Short Intensive Therapy - MABS clearance from respiratory sample(s) with tolerance.
Screening (Day 0) to the End of Short Intensive Therapy (Week 6).

Microbiological clearance of MABS from respiratory samples collected at 4 weeks with good tolerability assessed at the end of short intensive therapy between Arm D and the standard of care arms given during intensive phase. Definition of MABS clearance is 3 MABS negative sputum samples or ONE MABS negative Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) at end of Short Intensive Therapy. Treatment tolerance is defined as no Treatment emergent adverse events and/or Treatment emergent adverse events that are "possibly-", "probably-", or "definitely-" related to study drug and coded as grade 1 or 2 based on the CTCAEv5.0.

Nested Study A3.2 - Duration of intensive therapy for patients completing short intensive treatment with ongoing positive MABS cultures collected at 4 weeks and randomised to either a further 6 weeks intensive therapy or immediate consolidation.
Screening (Day 0) to EITHER the End of Prolonged Intensive Therapy (for those allocated to Prolonged Intensive) OR Week 12 Visit (for those allocated to immediate consolidation therapy).

To compare the microbiological clearance from samples collected at 10 weeks with good tolerability between those who are allocated to prolonged intensive therapy and those allocated to immediate consolidation following short intensive therapy. MABS clearance, assessed at the end of prolonged intensive therapy (for those allocated to prolonged intensive) or at 12 weeks (for those allocated to immediate consolidation) will be defined as negative MABS cultures from all 3 sputum samples or from one BAL sample collected at 10 weeks. "Good" tolerance is defined as no adverse events occurring or only adverse events that are attributed as either "possibly-", "probably-", or "definitely-" related to study drug coded as CTCAE grades 1 and 2.

Assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for maximum concentration (Cmax) of sulbactam and durlobactam
Day 1 and Day 3
Assess the PK parameters for area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC 0-24) of sulbactam and durlobactam
Day 1 and Day 3

Secondary Endpoints

Probability of MABS clearance at Final Outcome irrespective of toxicity according to participant's treatment pathway.
Screening (Day 0); at End of Treatment plus 4 weeks off treatment (Final Outcome Visit - either Week 56 or Week 62).
Incidence of Treatment emergent adverse events
Screening (Day 0); At End of Short Intensive Therapy (Week 6); At End of Prolonged Intensive Therapy OR at Week 12 visit; at End of Treatment plus 4 weeks off treatment (Final Outcome Visit - either Week 56 or Week 62).
Safety of treatments based on changes in microbiological resistance.
Screening (Day 0); At End of Short Intensive Therapy (Week 6); At End of Prolonged Intensive Therapy OR at Week 12 visit; at End of Treatment plus 4 weeks off treatment (Final Outcome Visit - either Week 56 or Week 62).
