About this trial

A multicenter international prospective observational pharmacological study in adult patients (≥18 years) treated with ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) alone or with CAZ/AVI plus fosfomycin (FOS) for infection due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) (KPC and/or OXA-48).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signature of the informed consent

Age ≥ 18 years

Adult patients treated for ≥ 48 hours with CAZ/AVI or CAZ/AVI plus FOS for a microbiologically documented CRE infection

Disqualifiers

Polymicrobial/mixed infections with exception of cases with multiple Enterobacterales susceptible to study drugs

Trial population

Adult patients with infection due to a difficult-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria, treated with CAZ/AVI alone or CAZ/AVI plus FOS, hospitalized during the study period in the participating centers, will be screened for inclusion

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

PK/PD efficacy targets for study drugs

The primary endpoint will be the attainment of the pre-defined PK/PD target of efficacy at 48 and 72 hours after starting treatment for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infection

Time frame
From enrollment (treatment onset) to 48 and 72 hours after starting treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

Difference in SOFA score

Difference in SOFA score between day 0 (day of treatment onset) and day 7

Time frame
From day 0 (day of index positive culture) and day 7
2

Trend of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT)

Trend of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT) from day 0 to day 7 after treatment onset

Time frame
From day 0 (day of index positive culture) and day 7
3

Microbiological eradication

Microbiological eradication defined as bacteraemia clearance or negativization of index diagnostic sample within 7 days from treatment onset

Time frame
From day 0 (day of index positive culture) and day 7
4

Relapse and/or reinfection

Relapse (new infection with the same pathogen emerging after treatment) and/or reinfection (new infection with a different pathogen emerging after treatment) rates at day 90

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of the follow-up at three months
