Filter by:This is a Phase I/IIa trial designed to evaluate topical bacteriophage therapy in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
Phase 1b/2a, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and phage recovery profile of AP-PA02 multi-bacteriophage therapeutic candidate administered by inhalation in subjects with cystic fibrosis and chronic pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection.
Ceftolozane/tazobactam is a new antibiotic with broad spectrum activity. This molecule is currently one of the most active beta lactams against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its spectrum of activity also includes enterobacteriaceae producing a broad spectrum beta-lactamase (EBLSE). Ceftolozane/tazobactam is currently marketed for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections and complicated urinary tract infections. These intra-abdominal and urinary infections are mainly caused by enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae) and more rarely by P. aeruginosa. Concerning enterobacteriaceae, French epidemiology reports a prevalence of BLSE of between 10 and 15% in E. coli and 10%-30% in K. pneumoniae.
Prospective, double-blind, randomized assessment of the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic of Aerucin® as adjunct treatment (in addition to standard of care antibiotics) for pneumonia caused by P. aeruginosa.
Clinical trial looking to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MEDI3902 in mechanically ventilated participants for the prevention of nosocomial pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) accounts for 25% of infections in intensive care units (Réseau RAISIN 2012). A short duration (8 days; SD) vs. long duration (15 days; LD) of antibiotic therapy has a comparable clinical efficacy with less antibiotic use and less multidrug-resistant pathogens (MDR) emergence. These results have led the American Thoracic Society to recommend SD therapy for VAP, with the exception of documented VAP of non-fermenting Gram negative bacilli (NF-GNB), including Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA-VAP), due to the absence of studies focusing specifically on PA-VAP. Thus the beneficial effect of SD therapy in PA-VAP is still a matter of debate. In a small (n=127) subgroup analysis, a higher rate of recurrence with SD therapy (n=21, 32.8%) has been observed compared with LD therapy group (n=12, 19.0%). Unfortunately, the definition of recurrence was essentially based on microbiological rather than clinical data, and the higher rate of recurrence observed could rather reflect a higher rate of colonization more than a new infection. Interestingly, a trend for a lower rate of mortality was also observed in the SD group (n=15, 23.4%) compared with the LD group (n=19, 30.2%), but this study was clearly underpowered to detect a difference of mortality between groups. The two strategies were considered as not different, for the risk of mortality in a recent meta-analysis, performed on the very few available studies (n=2), that (OR = 1.33, 95% CI [0.33 to 5.26] for SD vs. LD strategies respectively). However, this conclusion remains questionable considering the large confidence interval of the risk and the power of these studies. Primary objective and assessment criterion: To assess the non-inferiority of a short duration of antibiotics (8 days) vs. prolonged antibiotic therapy (15 days) in P. aeruginosa ventilator-associated pneumonia (PA-VAP) on a composite end-point combining Day-90 mortality and PA-VAP recurrence rate during hospitalization in the ICU. Study Design : Randomized, open-labeled non inferiority controlled trial 32 French Intensive Care Units participating to the study Research period: Total study duration: 27 months Inclusion period: 24 months Duration of participation for a patient: 90 days
It is acknowledged that IL-18, as a product of the inflammasome, is involved in host defence against viral and bacterial stimuli by modulating the immune response. The aim of this study was to determine IL-18 levels in serum of patients with Bronchiectasis and to investigate whether macrolide attenuate its levels.
This is a multicenter, prospective, two cohort, observational study over a 5-year period in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.The study will collect data over 1 year on respiratory function, antibacterial effectiveness, and clinical outcomes of treatment with inhaled antipseudomonal antibiotics and data over 5 years on microbiological and safety assessments.
There is established evidence that adult patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) may have altered antibiotic pharmacokinetics compared with non-CF patients. Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is a newly approved broad spectrum intravenous antibiotic, which has potent in vitro activity against multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the most common pathogen implicated in CF pulmonary exacerbations. This study will determine the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of ceftolozane/tazobactam in 20 adult CF patients admitted for a pulmonary exacerbation at one of 4 participating hospitals in the US. Patients will remain on standard of care IV antibiotics and receive 4-6 doses of ceftolozane/tazobactam 3 grams every 8 hours. Blood will be sampled after the final dose to determine concentrations and pharmacokinetics of ceftolozane and tazobactam. Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the 3 day study.
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) acquired pneumonia, including ventilator-associated pneumonia, is a frequently occurring health-care associated infection, which causes considerable morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Important pathogens causing ICU pneumonia are Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The epidemiology of ICU pneumonia and patient-related and contextual factors is not fully described, but is urgently needed to support the development of effective interventions.
