Optimizing the Diagnostic Approach to Cephalosporin Allergy Testing
Summary: Cephalosporin antibiotics are commonly used but can result in allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. There is no clear diagnostic approach for cephalosporin-allergic patients, and guidance for the use of other antibiotics in allergic patients is based on side chain chemical similarity and limited skin testing evidence. This project includes a clinical trial and mechanistic studies to optimize the app...
Optimization of Beta-lactam Dosing in Critically Ill Patients With Suspected or Documented Antimicrobial Resistant Gram-Negative Infections With Cystatin-C (OPTIMIZE-GNI)
Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the abilities of Cystatin C (CysC) and CysC-based estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) equations to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of meropenem and cefepime relative to Serum Creatinine (SCR), Serum Creatinine based Equation (SCRE)and iohexol at the population and individual levels in critically ill adult patients with suspected or d...
Comparative Analysis of Delirium in Older Patients Treated With Selected Antibiotics: a Prospective Cohort Study
Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn if the use of ceftazidime, cefepime, and ceftriaxone impacts the incidence of delirium in elderly patients (aged 65 and older) with infections. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the administration of these antibiotics increase the incidence of delirium in elderly patients? How do renal and hepatic dose adjustments affect the likelihood ...
Early Versus Late Stopping of Antibiotics in Children With Cancer and High-risk Febrile Neutropenia
Summary: This randomised controlled trial will determine the non-inferiority of stopping empiric antibiotics prior to absolute neutrophil count (ANC) recovery (Early Stopping) versus stopping antibiotics upon ANC recovery (Standard of Care/ Late Stopping) , in children with cancer and high-risk febrile neutropenia (FN).
A Phase 3, Multi-Center, Randomized, Single-Blind Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Cefepime/Nacubactam and Aztreonam/Nacubactam Versus Best Available Therapy in Adults With Complicated Urinary Tract Infection, Acute Uncomplicated Pyelonephritis, Hospital-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia, Ventilator Associated Bacterial Pneumonia, and Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection Due to Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales
Summary: This study is a multi-center, randomized, single-blind, parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety, when nacubactam is coadministered with cefepime or aztreonam, compared with best available therapy (BAT), in the treatment of patients with cUTI, AP, HABP, VABP, and cIAI, due to Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales.
Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety Profile of Understudied Drugs
Summary: The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treati...
Intraosseous vs. Intravenous Vancomycin Administration in Total Ankle Arthroplasty
Objective: Comparable levels of vancomycin will be found in bone, soft tissue, and systemic samples between patient groups. Secondary Objective: Compare 30 day and 90 day post-operative complication rates (infection) between the control (standard IV administration of vancomycin) vs the interventional group (intraosseous administration of vancomycin). The investigators hypothesize that there will be no differ...
Early Discontinuation of Antibiotics for Unexplained Febrile Neutropenia: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial- EASE ANTIBIOTICS Pilot Trial
Summary: Infections are a common complication in patients with cancer. They are a significant cause of complications and death in this population. Patients with cancer and low neutrophil counts due to chemotherapy or disease often have a fever and receive antibiotic treatment. The optimal duration of this treatment is largely unknown. Late, there have been some data suggesting the safety of early discontin...
Single Group Phase 2 Study to Investigate Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Cefepime-Enmetazobactam Administered by IV Over 2 Hr in Male or Female Participants From Birth to Less Than 18 Years of Age Hospitalised With cUTI
Summary: This phase 2 study is part of regulatory commitments in the United States (PSP) and Europe (PIP) to evaluate cefepime-enmetazobactam in paediatric participants with cUTI to support extension of the indication for cefepime-enmetazobactam to children with cUTI.
Piperacillin-tazobactam and Temocillin as Carbapenem-alternatives for the Treatment of Severe Infections Due to Extended-spectrum Beta-lactamase-Producing Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae in the Intensive Care Unit
Summary: Infections due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are a major public health concern, in particular in the intensive care unit (ICU), due to the increase in their incidence. Carbapenems are the treatment of choice of these infections, but their increased use may select for carbapenem resistance in Gram-negative bacilli, which currently represents the greatest th...
Pharmacokinetics and Deposition of Commonly Prescribed Antibiotics in Hospitalized Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Renal Replacement Therapies
Summary: The study is aiming to describe the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of intravenous meropenem, ertapenem, cefepime, colistin, Ceftazidime/Avibactam , Ceftolozane/Tazobactam , and piperacillin/tazobactam in the plasma and determine how much is removed by Renal Replacement Therapies to ensure adequate dosing
