22 2007 IDSA / ATS Community-Acquired Pneumonia Treatment Guidelines IDSA=Infectious Diseases Society of America; ATS=American Thoracic Society.

23 2007 IDSA / ATS CAP Guidelines: Introduction For the first time, the IDSA and ATS convened a joint committee to develop a unified CAP guidelines document Joint guidelines provide an update for clinicians on important advances in CAP management with the aim of the following: Decreasing mortality rate and improving patient care Preserving antibiotic susceptibilities Mandell LA et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2007;44(suppl 2):S27-S72.

24 2007 IDSA / ATS CAP Guidelines: Empiric Antibiotics for Outpatients Previously healthy and no antimicrobials within 3 months A macrolide (strong recommendation; level I evidence) OR doxycycline (weak; level III) Presence of comorbidities* or antimicrobials within 3 months A respiratory fluoroquinolone (moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin, or levofloxacin [750 mg ]) (strong; level I) OR a β-lactam plus macrolide (strong; level I) In regions with high rate of infection (>25%) with high-level (MIC 16 µg/ml), macrolide-resistant S pneumoniae: Consider alternative agents listed above (eg, moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin, or levofloxacin [750 mg ]) for any patients, including those without comorbidities (moderate; level III) *Such as chronic heart, lung, liver, or renal disease; diabetes mellitus; alcoholism; malignancies; asplenia; immunosuppressing conditions or use of immunosuppressing drugs. Levofloxacin 750 mg is the only dose recommended for CAP. Adapted from Mandell LA et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2007;44(suppl 2):S27-S72.

25 2007 IDSA / ATS CAP Guidelines: Empiric Antibiotics for Inpatients Inpatients, non-icu treatment A respiratory fluoroquinolone (moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin, or levofloxacin [750 mg*]) (strong recommendation; level I evidence) OR a β-lactam plus macrolide (strong; level I) Inpatients, ICU treatment A β-lactam (cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, or ampicillin/sulbactam) plus either azithromycin (level II) or a fluoroquinolone (level I) (strong recommendation) *Levofloxacin 750 mg is only dose recommended for CAP. For penicillin-allergic patients, a respiratory fluoroquinolone should be used. For penicillin-allergic patients, a respiratory fluoroquinolone and aztreonam are recommended. Adapted from Mandell LA et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2007;44(suppl 2):S27-S72.

26 2007 IDSA / ATS CAP Guidelines: Empiric Antibiotics for Inpatients (cont d) For Pseudomonas infection An antipneumococcal, antipseudomonal β-lactam (piperacillin/tazobactam, cefepime, imipenem, or meropenem) plus either ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin (750 mg * ) OR the above β-lactam plus an aminoglycoside and azithromycin OR the above β-lactam plus an aminoglycoside and antipneumococcal fluoroquinolone (moderate) For community-acquired methicillin-resistant S aureus Add vancomycin or linezolid (moderate) *Levofloxacin 750 mg is the only dose recommended for CAP. For penicillin-allergic patients, substitute aztreonam for β-lactam. Adapted from Mandell LA et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2007;44(suppl 2):S27-S72.

27 2007 IDSA / ATS CAP Guidelines: New Considerations in Antibiotic Treatment Empiric antibiotic treatment Experts recommend use of most active agents within each therapeutic class (eg, moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin) Other factors for selection of specific antimicrobials include the following: Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile Compliance Safety Cost Mandell LA et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2007;44(suppl 2):S27-S72.

28 2007 IDSA / ATS CAP Guidelines: New Considerations in Antibiotic Treatment (cont d) Maintaining antibiotic susceptibilities Clinical failures have been reported with ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin To date, no failures have been reported with the more active fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin and gemifloxacin) The more active drugs (eg, moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin) are given preference because of their benefit in decreasing the risk of selection for antibiotic resistance Mandell LA et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2007;44(suppl 2):S27-S72.

29 Moxifloxacin: Summary of Clinical Experience Clinical experience >75 million patient use worldwide >8 years on US market Favorable adverse event (AE) profile AE rates similar to those for comparators, including levofloxacin, as demonstrated in CAPRIE Rates of drug-related colitis and Clostridium difficile similar to those for comparators, including levofloxacin Convenient once-daily 400 mg IV/PO dose for all indications No renal dosage adjustments required No additional glucose monitoring required

30 Moxifloxacin for CAP: Summary Efficacy in multiple CAP trials vs comparators Faster recovery at days 3 to 5 than levofloxacin in hospitalized, elderly patients with comorbidities 1 Earlier time to defervescence, IV-to-PO switch, hospital discharge 2,3 One convenient 400 mg IV/PO dose with no dosage adjustment required for renally impaired patients 4 1.

32 AVELOX (moxifloxacin HCl) Important Safety Information Moxifloxacin is contraindicated in persons with a history of hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin or any member of the quinolone class of antimicrobial agents. Serious and occasionally fatal events, such as hypersensitivity and/or anaphylactic reactions, as well as some of unknown etiology have been reported in patients receiving therapy with quinolones, including moxifloxacin. These reactions may include effects on the liver, including hepatitis, jaundice, and acute hepatic necrosis or failure, and hematologic effects, including agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and other hematologic abnormalities. (cont d on next slide) Please see enclosed full Prescribing Information. AVELOX [package insert]. Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation; October 2007.

33 AVELOX (moxifloxacin HCl) Important Safety Information (cont d) (cont d from previous slide) These reactions may occur following the first dose or multiple doses. The drug should be discontinued at the first appearance of a skin rash, jaundice or any other sign of hypersensitivity The safety and effectiveness of moxifloxacin in pediatric patients, adolescents (less than 18 years of age), pregnant women, and lactating women have not been established Please see enclosed full Prescribing Information. AVELOX [package insert]. Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation; October 2007.

34 AVELOX (moxifloxacin HCl) Important Safety Information (cont d) Moxifloxacin has been shown to prolong the QT interval of the electrocardiogram in some patients. The drug should be avoided in patients with known prolongation of the QT interval, patients with uncorrected hypokalemia, and patients receiving Class IA (eg, quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (eg, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents, due to limited clinical experience. Moxifloxacin should be used with caution when given together with drugs that may prolong the QT interval (eg, erythromycin, antipsychotics, antidepressants) and in patients with ongoing proarrhythmic conditions, such as clinically significant bradycardia or acute myocardial ischemia Please see enclosed full Prescribing Information.

35 AVELOX (moxifloxacin HCl) Important Safety Information (cont d) Central nervous system (CNS) effects, including convulsions, confusion, dizziness, tremors, and depression, may occur after the first dose. As with other quinolones, moxifloxacin should be used with caution in patients with known or suspected CNS disorders or risk factors that may predispose them to seizures or lower the seizure threshold Rare cases of peripheral neuropathy have been reported in patients receiving quinolones, including moxifloxacin Please see enclosed full Prescribing Information. AVELOX [package insert]. Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation; October 2007.

36 AVELOX (moxifloxacin HCl) Important Safety Information (cont d) Tendon ruptures that required surgical repair or resulted in prolonged disability have been reported in patients receiving quinolones, including moxifloxacin, during and after therapy. This risk is increased in patients over 65 years old, and is further increased with concomitant corticosteroid therapy. The quinolone should be discontinued in patients experiencing pain, inflammation, or rupture of a tendon Please see enclosed full Prescribing Information. AVELOX [package insert]. Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation; October 2007.

37 AVELOX (moxifloxacin HCl) Important Safety Information (cont d) Moxifloxacin tablets should be taken at least 4 hours before or 8 hours after multivitamins (containing iron or zinc), antacids (containing magnesium, aluminum), sucralfate, or Videx (didanosine) chewable/buffered tablets or the pediatric powder for oral suspension In large clinical trials, the most common adverse events occurring in 2% of patients were nausea (6%), diarrhea (5%), and dizziness (2%) Please see enclosed full Prescribing Information.
