The broad-spectrum C-8-cyano-fluoroquinolone finafloxacin displays enhanced activity under acidic conditions. This phase II clinical study compared the efficacies and safeties of finafloxacin and ciprofloxacin in patients with complicated urinary tract infection and/or pyelonephritis. A 5-day regimen with 800 mg finafloxacin once a day (q.d.) (FINA05) had results similar to those of a 10-day regimen with 800 mg finafloxacin q.d. (FINA10). Combined microbiological and clinical responses at the test-of-cure (TOC) visit were 70% for FINA05, 68% for FINA10, and 57% for a 10-day ciprofloxacin regimen (CIPRO10) in 193 patients (64 for FINA05, 68 for FINA10, and 61 for CIPRO10) of the microbiological intent-to-treat (mITT) population. Additionally, the clinical effects of ciprofloxacin on patients with an acidic urine pH (80% of patients) were reduced, whereas the effects of finafloxacin were unchanged. Finafloxacin was safe and well tolerated. Overall, 43.4% of the patients in the FINA05 group, 42.7% in the FINA10 group, and 54.2% in the CIPRO10 group experienced mostly mild and treatment-emergent but unrelated adverse events. A short-course regimen of 5 days of finafloxacin resulted in high eradication and improved clinical outcome rates compared to those for treatment with ciprofloxacin for 10 days. In contrast to those of ciprofloxacin, the clinical effects of finafloxacin were not reduced by acidic urine pH. Hospitalized adults were randomized 1:1:1 to finafloxacin treatment (800 mg q.d.) for either 5 or 10 days or to ciprofloxacin treatment (400 mg/500 mg b.i.d.) for 10 days with an optional switch from intravenous (i.v.) to oral administration at day 3. The primary endpoint was the combined microbiological and clinical response at the TOC visit in the microbiological intent-to-treat population. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT01928433.)
