Zinforo®: High clinical cure rate and evidence of rapid response in cSSTI
Clinical cure rates: CANVAS 1 and 2
CANVAS 1 and 2 trials: Two Phase III, randomised, double-blind, international, multicentre, comparative efficacy and safety trials comparing Zinforo (600 mg IV q12h ± placebo q12h, adjusted for moderate renal impairment) vs vancomycin + aztreonam (1 g IV q12h)2
Zinforo 600 mg every 12 hours demonstrated comparable efficacy vs vancomycin plus aztreonam 1 g every 12 hours in terms of clinical cure rates*2
Zinforo was associated with a trend towards early clinical response when compared to vancomycin + aztreonam at Day 33†
Response rate at Day 3
Zinforo delivers high cure rates in patients with severe disease and comorbidities‡2
Clinical response rates at Day 3 (CANVAS 1 and 2 trials)†3
Zinforo was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the cephalosporin class.2

*The lower limit of the 95% CI was above -10%, which met the predefined criteria for non-inferiority.2
‡There is no experience with Zinforo in the treatment of cSSTI in the following patient groups: The immunocompromised; patients with severe sepsis/septic shock; necrotising fasciitis; perirectal abscess; and patients with third-degree and extensive burns. There is limited experience in treating patients with diabetic foot infections. Caution is advised when treating such patients.1
†Zinforo was associated with a non-statistical significant early clinical response defined by cessation of lesion spread and absence of fever.3
**Zinforo is not active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Like other cephalosporins, Zinforo is not active against ESBL-producing strains. In vitro activity does not always correlate with clinical efficacy.1
