Reserve antibiotics: overcoming limitations of evidence generated from regulatory approval trials by Lorenzo Moja, Mohamed Abbas, Marlieke EA de Kraker, Veronica Zanichelli, Loice Achieng Ombajo, Mike Sharland, Benedikt Huttner

“…Substantial failures occur in generating evidence to guide routine clinical use: preapproval studies lack representativeness, select outcomes and comparators to chase statistical significance, and often avoid using prespecified analytical methods. Three recommendations are key to enhance the quality and relevance of clinical data underpinning use of last resort molecules on the WHO AWaRe Reserve list active against carbapenem-resistant MDR-B i). separation of pivotal trials from post-approval studies, which should be funded by public programs and de-linked from commercial purposes, ii). development and maintenance of a global infrastructure to conduct post-approval public health focused studies, and iii). development of trial platforms that use efficient, adaptive designs to inform clinical decision making and country level technology appraisal. …”
