About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous dose of MP101 administered in addition to standard antibiotic therapy in adult patients with acute Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia. The study will also assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of MP101 and its antibacterial activity, including changes in P. aeruginosa burden in sputum and changes in susceptibility to MP101 and concomitant antibiotics.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subjects aged 19 years or older.

Clinical diagnosis of acute pneumonia with radiologic evidence of pulmonary infiltrates.

Confirmed Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection via valid respiratory specimens.

PA isolate demonstrates susceptibility to MP101 and non-susceptibility to current antibiotic therapy.

Disqualifiers

Persistent septic shock or hemodynamically unstable condition.

Active pulmonary tuberculosis or non-bacterial pneumonia.

Significant pleural effusion or lung abscess requiring therapeutic drainage.

Clinically significant cardiovascular, hepatic, or renal impairment .

Treatments tested in this trial

  • MP101

    Biological/Vaccine

    This clinical trial is a Phase 1 study with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, sequential dose-escalation design and consists of two dose cohorts. After the safety of the low-dose cohort (Cohort A) is evaluated, dosing will proceed to the high-dose cohort (Cohort B). The investigational product, MP101, is a cocktail formulation comprising two bacteriophages. Participants in Cohort A will receive low dose, and participants in Cohort B will receive high dose. MP101 will be administered as a single intravenous infusion. The placebo is a clear solution with the same appearance as MP101 but without bacteriophages, and it will be administered in the same manner.

  • Antibiotics

    Drug

    All study subjects will receive concomitant antibiotic therapy. The choice of the concomitant antibiotic will be based on the results of antibiotic susceptibility testing and will follow the best available therapy, as determined by the investigator.
