Abstract
Solithromycin is a new monotherapy option for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) patients. However, the efficacy and safety of solithromycin monotherapy for the treatment of CABP remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the role that solithromycin played in the treatment of CABP. We systematically retrieved randomised controlled trials (RCTs) compared solithromycin with other antibiotics in the treatment of CABP, which were published on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane libary and the Clinical Trials.gov before July 2018. Ultimately, a meta-analysis of all RCTs eligible for inclusion criteria was performed. Three RCTs, comprising 1855 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. There were no statistically significant differences between patients given solithromycin and those given other antibiotics with regard to early clinical response (ECR) [1855 patients, odds ratio (OR) = 1.00, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.80 to 1.24, P = 0.99] and clinical success rates at short-term follow-up (SFU) (1855 patients, OR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.60 to 1.01, P = 0.06) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, as were the ECR (787 patients, OR = 0.90, 95% CI 0.64 to 1.27, P = 0.55) and clinical success rates a...Continue Reading
