Topic: Chemistry

 From HandWiki - Reading time: 2 min 
Taksta (previously CEM-102) is a front-loaded oral dosing regimen of sodium fusidate under development in the U.S. as an antibiotic for gram-positive infections including drug-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.[1]

Clinical trials

Jan 2010: Taksta has completed enrollment in a phase 2 trial (due to run until March 2010) and is preparing for phase 3 studies in the U.S. for acute bacterial skin structure infections (being compared with linezolid).[2]

Sep 2010: Taksta demonstrated comparable clinical success rates compared to linezolid in a phase 2 trial in the U.S. for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections.[3]

Jun 2011: Taksta may be effective in the treatment of chronic prosthetic joint infections and osteomyelitis.[4]

Dec 2015: Cempra doses first patient in a phase 3 clinical trial of Taksta in acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections.[5]

Nov 2016: Cempra completes a phase 3 clinical trial of Taksta in acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. Results remain pending.[6]

Feb 2017: Cempra achieves the primary endpoint of a 10% non-inferiority margin. The microbiological success in each ME[clarification needed] population with methicillin-resistant S. aureus infection is 100 percent (99/99) at both the EOT[clarification needed] and PTE[clarification needed] visits.[7]
