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...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety and tolerability of Vaborem (fixed combination of meropenem and vaborbactam) in the paediatric population aged from birth to \< 18 years with suspected or confirmed Gram negative infections in need of hospitalisation and intravenous (IV) antibiotic administration. All participants will receive Vaborem IV every 8 hours...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the Epithelial Lining Fluid concentrations and permeability of Intravenous Meropenem-Pralubactam(Meropenem/FL058) in China Healthy Adult Participants. The main question it aims to answer is: • \[question 1\] : What are the concentrations of meropenem and Pralubactam in plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophages (AM) at each time p...

Summary: BALANCE+ is a perpetual multiple domain randomized controlled platform trial to evaluate various treatment strategies for Gram-negative bloodstream infections (GN BSIs). Each domain addresses critical questions in the management of GN BSIs, aiming to refine treatment strategies, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce antimicrobial resistance. The initial vanguard pilot RCT (NCT05893147) started on 2...

Summary: Data regarding optimal treatment for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae blood-stream infection are lacking. Observational studies show conflicting results when comparing treatment with combination beta-lactam-beta-lactamase inhibitor and carbapenems. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of definitive treatment with meropenem vs. piperacillin-tazobactam on ...

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: The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Meropenem and Pralurbactam versus Best Available Therapy in the treatment of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infections. Infections evaluated in the study will be hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI), complicated urinary tract infection ...

Summary: The EMPRESS trial aims to test the two most commonly used antibiotics (meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam) among intensive care patients with sepsis (blood poisoning), as the safety of these two drugs is unclear in this group of patients.

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: Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling (PKPD) is becoming an essential tool for optimizing pharmacotherapy. Building mechanistic models allows determining the relationship between the dose, concentration, pharmacological effect, and side effects in various populations. The growing resistance to drugs among bacteria is a challenge for medicine, and the progress in pharmacometrics enables us t...

Summary: The study proposes a planned, double-blind, non-inferiority clinical trial involving patients with febrile neutropenia and risk of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) infection. The goal is: \- Analyze the efficacy and tolerability of Ceftolozane/tazobactam (CEF/TAZ) compared to the current standard of care (meropenem) in patients with febrile neutropenia and risk of ESBL infection. Patients w...

Summary: Can antibiotic drugs be administered faster and make acceptable serum concentrations if we give short but multiple infusions compared to long and fewer infusions? In this study we will compare giving meropenem 1 gram 6 times daily in 15 minutes infusions to the recommended 2 gram 3 times daily in 3 hours infusions. In patients in the intensive care unit, the need for intravenous access is of essen...
