Cefiderocol

Summary: Cefiderocol is a powerful, broad spectrum antibiotic approved to treat hospital-acquired or ventilator associated pneumonia and urinary tract infections. Although cefiderocol has labeled dosing recommendations, including augmented renal clearance, patients with burn injury remain an unstudied population at high risk for MDR pathogens. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmaco...

Summary: A Phase 1, Open-label, Single-dose Study to Determine the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Cefiderocol/Xeruborbactam (S-649228) in Participants with Renal Impairment

Summary: Patients with bloodstream infections, hospital acquired pneumonia or ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) treated with cefiderocol combined with ampicillin sulbactam will be compared to patients treated treated with colistin alone or colistin combined with meropenem.

Summary: TREAT-GNB is an innovative trial to expedite the evaluation of various antibiotic choices and treatment strategies for severe multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, specifically bloodstream and lower respiratory tract infections. This approach combines platform trial elements with adaptive clinical designs to streamline the evaluation of various treatment options and optimise reso...

Summary: The primary objective of the ADDICT study is to assess and compare the clinical efficacy of available options for antimicrobial therapy (new beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination, cefiderocol or older agents such as aminoglycosides and colistin) in unselected patients with infection due to difficult-to-treat P. aeruginosa.

Summary: A multicenter, national, prospective, observational pharmacological study of patients with difficult-to-treat Gram-negative infections treated with ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) or cefiderocol (CEF) monotherapy or combination therapy with ceftazidime/avibactam associated with fosfomycin (FOS) or cefiderocol associated with fosfomycin.

Summary: Nosocomial Infections (NI) are a common and dreadful complication for patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) treated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). Unfortunately, no study has thoroughly evaluated NI in this fragile patient cohort. Newly developed antibiotics may help manage such infections, but their pharmacokinetics (PK) during ECMO has not been eval...
