Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Early Clinical Response (ECR)
ECR was assessed 96 +/- 24 hours after the first dose of study drug.

ECR was defined as survival with improvement in at least 2 signs and symptoms of CABP (relative to baseline), no worsening of any CABP sign or symptom, and no use of concomitant antibiotics (other than adjunctive linezolid, as allowed by the study protocol) for the treatment of CABP through the ECR assessment.

Secondary Endpoints

Investigator's Assessment of Clinical Response (IACR)
IACR was assessed at the Test-of-Cure visit; 5-10 days after the last dose of study drug.

Frequently asked questions about lefamulin

What is lefamulin used for?

Lefamulin is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) in adults. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA. The drug is being evaluated as a potential therapy for this infectious disease indication.

What does lefamulin target?

Lefamulin is a small molecule antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It targets the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, binding to the peptidyl transferase center and preventing the formation of peptide bonds. This mechanism of action is distinct from other antibiotic classes, potentially offering an alternative treatment option for Community Acquired Pneumonia.

Who is developing lefamulin?

Lefamulin is being developed by cbdMD, Inc., a company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol YCBD. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy for the treatment of Community Acquired Pneumonia in adult patients.

What phase is lefamulin in?

Lefamulin is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 3 trial for Community Acquired Pneumonia, with a total enrollment of 551 participants. The drug remains investigational and has not yet received FDA approval, as it is still undergoing clinical evaluation.

What clinical trials is lefamulin in?

Lefamulin has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered under NCT02559310, titled 'Study to Compare Lefamulin to Moxifloxacin (With or Without Linezolid) for the Treatment of Adults With Pneumonia.' This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study enrolled 551 adults with Community Acquired Pneumonia across multiple countries including the United States, Argentina, Brazil, and Russia.

Is lefamulin the same as other antibiotics?

Lefamulin is a distinct antibiotic with a unique mechanism of action compared to other drug classes. It is being studied as a monotherapy and in combination with linezolid in clinical trials, but it is not the same as moxifloxacin or linezolid. Lefamulin targets the bacterial ribosome in a way that differs from fluoroquinolones and oxazolidinones.
