About this study

The aim of this study is to report our experience with ceftolozane-tazobactam and to evaluate its safety and efficacy in the treatment of ICU dependent nosocomial respiratory tract infections due to extensively drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Different dosing regimes of ceftalozane-tazobactam is evaluated and compared to the standard therapy of Colomycin.

Read the detailed description

Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) is a novel type of beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor antibiotics targeting nosocomial infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. In recent years, ceftolozane-tazobactam was prescribed for treating complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) and complicated intraabdominal infections (cIAI). Following the results of ASPECT-NP trial in 2019, it was approved as a therapeutic option in nosocomial pneumonia including hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

The drug shows an excellent activity against ESBL-producing Enterobacterales and multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The latter is widely recognized as a common pathogen of nosocomial respiratory tract infections.

There is still a need for observations of clinical experiences to better define the risk-benefit profile of ceftolozane-tazobactam. The aim of this study is to report our experience with ceftolozane-tazobactam and to evaluate its safety and efficacy in the treatment of ICU dependent nosocomial respiratory tract infections due to extensively drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Different dosing regimes of ceftalozane-tazobactam is evaluated and compared to the standard therapy of Colomycin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia and Antibiotic Resistant Infection, run by Semmelweis University at 1 site in Hungary.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical cure rate (time frame: 7-14 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2020.
