| Definition | Vaborbactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor based on a cyclic boronic acid pharmacophore.[A32053] It has been used in trials investigating the treatment of bacterial infections in subjects with varying degrees of renal insufficiency. In August 2017, a combination antibacterial therapy under the market name Vabomere was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI). Vabomere consists of vaborbactam and [Meropenem] for intravenous administration. Vaborbactam is added to the therapy to reduce the extent meropenem degradation by inhibiting the serine beta-lactamases expressed by the microorganism of target.[Label] The treatment aims to resolve infection-related symptoms of cUTI and achieve negative urine culture, when the infections are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. |
