SAATELLITE

Human Monoclonal Antibody Against Staphylococcus aureus Alpha Toxin in Mechanically Ventilated Adult Subjects (SAATELLITE) is a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Involving patients who are at high risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia in an intensive-care unit. The trial will test the safety, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics, and the efficacy of MEDI4893. A novel treatment that uses antibodies against S. aureus.

The power of antibodies

MEDI4893, developed by AstraZeneca, is a promising monoclonal antibody against S. aureus alpha toxin. The toxin kills cells in patients and damages tissues and organs, which helps microbes to spread and cause serious infections and disease. MEDI4893 uses an antibody – not an antibiotic – against this alpha toxin. Prevention would work against S. aureus, regardless of whether this bug is resistant to antibiotics. Another benefit is that this antibody approach is not expected to lead to new antibiotic resistance.

Study information

The study tested MEDI4893 in approximately 200 adult patients, in 60 to 80 ICUs across Europe. Patients in intensive-care units who need mechanical ventilation were tested for the presence of S. aureus in their lower airways before they developed a full-fledged infection and pneumonia. If they tested positive, they received a single intravenous dose of MEDI4893 antibody. Which protects them from developing pneumonia.
