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 volunteersQualifiers
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
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
Secondary outcomes
Difference in SOFA score
Difference in SOFA score between day 0 (day of treatment onset) and day 7
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
Microbiological eradication
Microbiological eradication defined as bacteraemia clearance or negativization of index diagnostic sample within 7 days from treatment onset
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
