CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Naxcel Inj. administered as either Naxcel Inj. sodium, Naxcel Inj. hydrochloride (EXCENEL® RTU Sterile Suspension) or Naxcel Inj. crystalline free acid (EXCEDE FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL) is metabolized rapidly to desfuroylceftiofur, the primary metabolite. Administration of Naxcel Inj. to swine as Naxcel Inj. crystalline free acid (CCFA) at a single IM dosage of 2.27 mg CE/lb (5.0 mg CE/kg) BW provides concentrations of Naxcel Inj. and desfuroylceftiofurrelated metabolites in plasma that are multiples above the MIC90 Minimum inhibitory concentration for 90% of the isolates for the SRD label pathogens Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis and Streptococcus suis for an extended period of time .
The average plasma concentrations of ceftiofur- and desfuroylceftiofur-related metabolites for CCFA (EXCEDE FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL) after IM administration of 2.27 mg CE/lb (5.0 mg CE/kg) BW and those for Naxcel Inj. sodium (NAXCEL Sterile Powder) after IM administration at 1.36 mg CE/lb (3 mg CE/kg) BW for three consecutive days are presented in Figure 2 below.

MICROBIOLOGY

Naxcel Inj. has demonstrated in vitro activity against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis, and Streptococcus suis, four major pathogenic bacteria associated with SRD.
The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Naxcel Inj. against indicated SRD pathogens were determined using methods recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) using the M31-A and M31-A3 standards for the SRD treatment (2000-2001) and control (2009) studies, respectively. Isolates from the SRD treatment study were obtained from lung tissue collected from non-treated pigs prior to enrollment and saline-treated pigs that died or were euthanized during the study. Isolates from the SRD control study were obtained from lung tissue from non-treated pigs euthanized prior to enrollment and from saline- and ceftiofur-treated pigs that died or were euthanized during the study. The susceptibility results for the treatment and control studies are presented in Table 2.
Based on pharmacokinetic data from studies of Naxcel Inj. in swine after a single intramuscular injection of 2.27 mg CE/lb (5.0 mg CE/kg) BW, the following interpretive criteria are recommended by CLSI:

EFFECTIVENESS

The effectiveness of a single dose of 2.27 or 3.18 mg CE/lb BW (5.0 or 7.0 mg CE/kg BW) Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL for the treatment of SRD was confirmed in a well-controlled, multi-location field study. A total of 706 pigs with clinical signs of bacterial respiratory disease were enrolled and treated with a placebo injection or Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL administered as a single IM injection in the post-auricular region of the neck. Clinical observations were performed on Days 1-7 and rectal temperatures were taken on Days 1, 3, and 6 following treatment (Day 0). Necropsies were performed on all pigs that died during the study and after euthanasia of all remaining study pigs at the end of the 14-day post-enrollment study period. Lung lesions were scored and lungs were submitted for bacterial identification. Mortality rates were numerically lower (but not statistically different) for the Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL-treated groups (4.3% for the 5.0 mg CE/kg BW group and 4.2% for the 7.0 mg CE/kg BW group) compared with the placebo-treated control group (6.3%). There was a statistically significant (p<0.05) improvement in clinical cure rates for the Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL-treated groups (24.8% for the 5.0 mg CE/kg BW group and 26.4% for the 7.0 mg CE/kg BW group) compared with the placebo-treated control group (17.7%). Lung lesion scores were numerically higher (but not statistically different) for the Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL-treated groups (10.4% for both the 5.0 mg CE/kg BW and the 7.0 mg CE/kg BW group) compared with the placebo-treated control group (9.2%). Bacteriological culture of the lungs of study pigs identified the following respiratory pathogens: Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis, and Streptococcus suis.
The effectiveness of a single dose of 2.27 CE/lb BW (5.0 mg CE/kg BW) Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE for the control of SRD was evaluated in a multi-location natural infection field study. At each site, when at least 15% of the study candidates in a pen showed clinical signs of SRD, all pigs in the pen were enrolled and treated with Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE (n = 346) or saline (n = 347). Responses to treatment were evaluated 7 days post-treatment. Success was defined as a pig that survived to Day 7 and had normal attitude, normal respiration, and a rectal temperature of < 104 °F. The treatment success rate was significantly higher (p = 0.0188) for Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE-treated pigs (59.6%) compared to the saline-treated pigs (41.4%). Bacteriological culture of the lungs of study pigs identified the following respiratory pathogens: Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis, and Streptococcus suis.

ANIMAL SAFETY

After parenteral administration, CCFA, Naxcel Inj. sodium, and Naxcel Inj. hydrochloride are metabolized to the same principal metabolite, desfuroylceftiofur. Plasma levels achieved are similar after recommended dosing (Figure 2). Therefore, studies conducted with Naxcel Inj. sodium are adequate to evaluate the systemic safety of CCFA. Results from a five-day tolerance study in normal feeder pigs indicated that Naxcel Inj. sodium produced no overt adverse signs of toxicity and was well tolerated when administered at 57 mg CE/lb (125 mg/kg) BW (more than 25 times the recommended dosage of CCFA) for five consecutive days.
Organism Name (ATCC No.) MIC (μg/mL) Zone Diameter, mm
(Disk Content 30 μg)
E. coli ATCC 25922 0.25–1.0 26–31
S. aureus ATCC 29213 0.25–1.0 -
S. aureus ATCC 25923 - 27–31
P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 16.0–64.0 14–18

An additional dose toxicity study was conducted to determine the safety margin of Naxcel Inj. in swine. Five barrows and five gilts per group were administered Naxcel Inj. sodium IM at 0, 2.27, 6.81 and 11.36 mg CE/lb (0, 5, 15, 25 mg CE/kg) BW (0, 1, 3 and 5 times the recommended dosage for CCFA) for 15 consecutive days. There were no adverse systemic effects observed, indicating that Naxcel Inj. sodium has a wide margin of safety when administered intramuscularly in feeder pigs.
A separate study evaluated the injection site tissue tolerance of Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL in swine when administered intramuscularly as a single injection at the maximum recommended dose volume of 2 mL (approximately 5 mg CE/kg BW) per injection site. Because injection site volumes greater than 2 mL may result in violative residues, only injection volumes of 2 mL were evaluated in this study. Naxcel Inj. FOR SWINE Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL was injected intramuscularly into each side of the neck of six swine at a dose volume of 2 mL/injection site. Clinical observations were made daily. At 3, 7 and 10 days post-injection, pairs of animals were euthanized and the neck injection sites were dissected for pathological examination (4 injection sites per time point). The injections were well tolerated in all pigs. Clinically, injection site reactions ranged from nondetectable (6 of 12 sites) to a transitory (up to 4 days post-injection) palpable, nonvisible swelling (2 of 12 sites) or a small, visible, reddened nodule at the needle insertion point (4 of 12 sites; 3 of 4 nodules were barely detectable by 3 to 7 days post-injection). There was no clinical evidence of the injections at 10 days post-injection. At necropsy, half of the injection sites at both 3 and 7 days post-injection were scored as "negative" for irritation and the other half were scored as "slight irritation". One animal had a visible lesion described as an area of tan with red speckles present in the deep muscle fascia, less than 6 cm2, at 10 days post-injection; this lesion and the remaining injection sites evaluated at 10 days post-injection were scored as "negative" for irritation.
