News
Article

The third and final episode in our series looks at what is in the pipeline as well as a discussion around FDA guidance.

We want to welcome you to the third episode from our complicated UTI roundtable series, which is a collaborative effort that includes Contemporary Pediatrics, Contagion, and Contemporary OB/GYN. This series looks to discuss several topics around these infections including diagnosis, treatment, challenges in managing UTIs in patients with dementia and neurogenic bladders, antibiotic resistance, and considerations for patients and caregiver engagement.

Our panel of clinicians includes:

  • Barbara Trautner, MD, PhD, professor, Infectious Diseases, Section of Health Services Research, Baylor College of Medicine
  • Kimberly Claeys, PharmD, PhD, associate professor of Practice, Sciences, and Health Outcomes Research, University of Maryland Baltimore
  • Laila Woc-Colburn, MD, associate professor, Division of Infectious Diseases, Emory University School of Medicine

This is a 3-part series, and in today’s episode, the clinicians discuss new therapeutic agents, either in late stage development or recently approved, as well as consideration for patients and caregiver engagement in terms of diagnosis or treatment.

“As we talk about complicated UTIs vs uncomplicated [UTIs] and vs asymptomatic bacteriuria, the question becomes, are the FDA guidance documents with a composite endpoint appropriate for the actual approval of these drugs, or should we be looking at more clinically based?”
— Kimberly Claeys, PharmD, PhD
