Pneumonia
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized active-controlled, parallel group to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous murepavadin combined with of one anti-pseudononas antibiotic with that of two anti-pseudomonas antibiotics in the treatment of ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) in adult subjects.
Interventions
Murepavadin IV every 8 hours + 1 anti-pseudomonal antibiotic (Piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidine, cefepime, meropenem, amikacin, ciprofoxacin, levofloxacin, colistin)
Piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidine, cefepime, meropenem, amikacin, ciprofoxacin, levofloxacin, colistin
