Relationship Between Different Administration Regimens of Ceftazidime/Avibactam and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Severe Infection: a Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study

PHASE4 · The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School · NCT06528028

This study is testing if giving Ceftazidime/Avibactam in a different way can help people with severe infections caused by tough bacteria do better than the usual method.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the clinical efficacy of varying administration regimens of Ceftazidime/Avibactam (CAZ/AVI) in patients with severe infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter. The main objective is to compare a loading dose followed by continuous infusion against the standard dosing regimen to determine which is more effective. Additionally, the study will analyze the relationship between dosing regimens, bacterial clearance, 28-day mortality, and adverse drug reactions. The findings aim to enhance the understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in this context.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with severe infections caused by multiple-resistant bacteria that are sensitive to Ceftazidime/Avibactam.

Not a fit: Patients who are allergic to Ceftazidime/Avibactam or those who are pregnant or lactating may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment outcomes for patients with severe infections caused by resistant bacteria.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on Ceftazidime/Avibactam, this specific approach to varying administration regimens is relatively novel.
