Pneumonia, Bacterial
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a randomized, open-label phase I study. The primary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ME1100 in subjects with mechanically ventilated bacterial pneumonia (MVBP). The secondary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ME1100 for the treatment of subjects with MVBP to assess the safety and tolerability of ME1100.
Interventions
Low dose of ME1100 inhalation solution twice daily for up to 14 days to be administered via eFlow nebulizer system

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Participants must meet all of the following inclusion criteria in order to be eligible for the study: 1. Is a hospitalized male or female, ≥ 18 years of age at the Screening Visit; 2. Is on mechanical ventilation; 3. Has a known or suspected mechanically ventilated bacterial pneumonia with at least 1 of the following: * Fever (\> 38.5゚C or \> 101.3゚F); * Hypothermia (≤ 35.0゚C or ≤ 95.0゚F); * Leukopenia (≤ 4500 cells/mm3); * Leukocytosis (≤ 10000 cells/mm3); * White blood cell count with left shift defined as \> 15% immature polymorphonuclear leukocytes (bands) on peripheral blood smear; or * Procalcitonin \> 0.25 µg/mL; Plus at least 2 of the following: * Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation; * New onset of expectorated or suctioned purulent sputum production or respiratory secretions, or a change in the character of sputum; * Auscultatory findings on pulmonary examination of rales and/or evidence of pulmonary consolidation; * Dyspnea, tachypnea, or signs of respiratory distress as evidenced by an increase in respiratory support or oxygen requirement, particularly if any or all of these are progressive in nature; or * Hypoxemia by pulse oximetry or arterial blood gas requiring an increase in supplemental oxygen; 4. Has a chest X-ray with a new consolidation consistent with pneumonia or significant worsening of previous findings consistent with pneumonia; and 5. Has an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score ≥ 8 and ≤ 30 at the Screening Visit.
