1 Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia: Is There Anything New? Hans Liu, M.D., FACP Infectious Disease Specialist Bryn Mawr Medical Specialists Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania Professor of Medicine Sidney Kimmel School of Medicine Thomas Jefferson University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania This presentation is sponsored by: and supported by an educational grant from Cempra Pharmaceuticals Sign up for free membership at pcrg-us.org The Primary Care Respiratory Group (PCRG) is a national educational initiative providing comprehensive respiratory disease education. PCRG s mission is to provide a representative forum for primary care clinicians involved in respiratory disease management and raise standards of patient care through the dissemination of best practices, education programs, and communication among members.

2 Disclosure: Dr. Liu discloses that he is on the advisory board for Cempra and Daiichi Sankyo CME: Learning Objectives After participating in this activity, the primary care physician will be able to: Describe trends in the microbiology of community-acquired pneumonia in the United States and the impact on clinical outcomes Select evidence-based empiric antibiotic therapy based on national susceptibility trends and ideally on local patterns Initiate broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy in appropriate patients Modify therapy in patients who don t respond to initial antibiotic therapy List medications on the horizon for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia

3 Following an episode of CABP, it takes an adult age 50 years an average of days to achieve full productivity? Retrospective analysis of adults with CAP initially managed in a primary care clinic showed all of the following to predict non-responsiveness except? 1. Bilateral rales 2. Former smoker 3. Initial presentation to urgent care 4. Myalgia Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses since 2007 show which of the following is preferred as initial empiric therapy in the outpatient management of CABP? 1. Macrolide 2. β-lactam + macrolide 3. β-lactam + respiratory fluoroquinolone 4. There is no preferred empiric therapy as the data are inconsistent?

4 Only 2 Antibiotics Approved for Community- Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia Since 2007 Tigecycline (2009) Ceftaroline fosamil (2010) Both are injectable antibiotics So is there really anything to talk about? Yes!

5 Overview Epidemiology of community-acquired pneumonia Still significant cause of morbidity and mortality Costs and hospital length of stay are concerns New diagnostic tests for wider array of pathogens Pathogen susceptibility continues to change New definition of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia Collateral damage driving therapeutic change New antibiotics on the horizon Case Study RD is a 59 year-old male who presents to his primary care physician with dyspnea on exertion and cough History, physical examination, and chest X-ray suggest a diagnosis of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia A macrolide antibiotic is prescribed pending laboratory confirmation Four days later, RD returns complaining of continued symptoms that now include fever Do you admit or treat as an outpatient? If treated as an outpatient, Do you culture? What antibiotic(s) do you start? What do you do if he doesn t get better? Epidemiology and Burden Incidence 950,000 cases/year in adults age <65 y million cases/year in adults age 65 y 2 Incidence has declined since introduction of PCV y prospective study of nearly 1 million pediatric ED visits Incidence of CABP decreased 16% Incidence of pneumococcal CAP decreased 63% Review of US health plan database ( ) 4 28,575 episodes- 72% managed as outpatient Episode length d (inpatient), 10.2 d (outpatient) Cost (all-cause total) Inpatient: $11,148 to $51,219 Outpatient: $1,048 to $5, Bonafede MM, et al.

11 Collateral Damage Typically refers to ecological adverse effects of antibiotic therapy 1 Specifically, the selection of drug-resistant organisms and the unwanted development of colonization or infection with multidrug-resistant organisms Should it also include other unintended, serious consequences of antibiotic therapy?

If treated as an outpatient, Do you culture? What antibiotic(s) do you start? What do you do if he doesn t get better? Factors Associated with Non- Responsive CAP in Primary Care Retrospective analysis of 250 adults with CAP initially managed in primary care clinic 85 cases (ie, non-responsive), 165 controls Non-responsive CAP was defined as worsening symptoms after 4 days or no improvement within 10 days of starting antibiotic therapy In the 85 cases at initial visit 80% had a chest X-ray, 39% additional testing Initial treatment- macrolide (33%), quinolone (35%), no antibiotic (11%), amoxicillin/amox-clav (6%) Factors predicting non-responsiveness Former smoker (odds ratio 2.27) Initial presentation to urgent care (odds ratio 2.10) Myalgia (odds ratio 2.79) Vander Wyst KB, et al. J Patient Cent Res Rev. 2016;3:79-89.

12 What is the state of the art in CAP/CABP Management? Suspect diagnosis based on symptoms Know risk factors for poor outcome (clinical; PSI, CURB-65) Send labs: CBC, CMP, CXR, sputum or other cultures Outpatient management or admit to hospital? Choose antibiotics: No antimicrobial (healthy host, viral, likely self-limited) Narrow (macrolide?) if viral vs. mycoplasma (but resistance?) Narrowish (amox-clav, TMP-SMX) Broad-spectrum (fluoroquinolone or macrolide + beta-lactam) If patient not improving: Broaden further (vancomycin, 3 rd generation-cephalosporin, carbapenem???) Perform diagnostic procedure Broader Rx, hospital stay more collateral damage Antibiotics on the Horizon Cethromycin - ketolide Omadacycline - tetracycline Sitafloxacin - fluoroquinolone Lefamulin - pleuromutilin Solithromycin - fluoroketolide Cethromycin Oral ketolide Potent activity against S. pneumoniae 1 FDA denied approval in 2009 Review used updated efficacy standards 2 Phase III studies vs clarithromycin in mild/moderate CAP with clinical cure rates (ITT) of 2 CL (N=584): 83.1% vs 81.1% CL (N=522): 82.9% vs 88.5% 1.

Barrera CM, et al. Lancet Infect Dis. 2016;16(4): Summary and Conclusions Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S.; this entails high use of health care resources There is new appreciation of a wider array of CAP pathogens, notably viruses (some treatable) In community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) pathogen susceptibility is changing (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae, mycoplasma) Antibiotic selection driven by difficulty diagnosing pathogen, need to optimize coverage AND avoid toxicity Few new antibiotics over last 10 years for CABP; new antibiotics are on the horizon Following an episode of CABP, it takes an adult age 50 years an average of days to achieve full productivity?
