A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine Aztreonam-Avibactam (ATM-AVI) in Infants and Newborns Admitted in Hospitals With Bacterial Infection (CHERISH)
Description

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of ATM-AVI for the possible treatment of infections caused by a type of bacteria called gram-negative bacteria. The study medicine is a combination of an antibiotic, aztreonam (ATM), and another medicine, avibactam (AVI), which is used to help stop bacteria from being resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotics are medicines that fights bacteria and infections. The study will include newborns and infants up to 9 months of age who are admitted in the hospital. The study is conducted in 2 parts: Part A and Part B. In Part A, all participants will receive a single intravenous (injected directly into a vein) infusion of ATM-AVI. This is to study the safety and effects of a single amount. In Part B, all participants will receive multiple intravenous infusions of ATM-AVI as treatment for a possible or confirmed infection with gram-negative bacteria.

Efficacy Study of Preconception Treatment of an Asymptomatic Bacterial Infection in an Infertility Population
Description

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection characterized by a pathologic shift in the normal vaginal flora. BV has been associated with a number of poor reproductive outcomes, including infertility, preterm labor and premature rupture of membranes. If BV does disrupt normal embryologic development, then the treatment of BV prior to conception may improve implantation rates and other pregnancy outcomes in the infertile population. This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which infertile women undergoing intrauterine insemination or embryo transfer are screened for BV prior to treatment. Those patients who screen positive for BV will then be randomized into the treatment arm(metronidazole 500mg by mouth twice daily for 7 days) or the control arm (placebo by mouth twice daily for 7 days). The primary outcome, positive pregnancy test rate (i.e. biochemical pregnancy rate), will then be assessed. Secondary outcomes, such as clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, and live birth rate will also be examined.

A Study to Compare Different Drugs Used to Prevent Serious Bacterial Infections in HIV-Positive Children
Description

This study compares 2 different treatments administered to try to prevent serious bacterial infections (such as pneumonia) in HIV-positive children. A combination of drugs (azithromycin plus atovaquone) will be compared to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) alone. This study also evaluates the long-term safety and tolerance of these different drugs. SMX/TMP is a commonly prescribed drug for the prevention of bacterial infections. However, the combination of azithromycin and atovaquone may be safer and more effective than SMX/TMP. This study compares the 2 treatments.

Optimization of Beta-lactam Dosing in Critically Ill Patients With Cystatin C (OPTIMIZE-GNI)
Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the abilities of Cystatin C (CysC) and CysC-based estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) equations to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of meropenem and cefepime relative to Serum Creatinine (SCR), Serum Creatinine based Equation (SCRE)and iohexol at the population and individual levels in critically ill adult patients with suspected or documented AMR Gram-negative infections. We hypothesize that CysC and CysC-based eGFR equations will characterize the PK profiles of meropenem and cefepime at the population and individual levels with greater accuracy and precision than SCR and SCREs. Iohexol will be administered to patients enrolled in the study and serve as the reference indicator of measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR), which is the gold standard assessment of kidney function. We hypothesize that the predictive performances of CysC and CysC-based eGFR equations in estimating the PK profiles of meropenem and cefepime at the population and individual levels will be comparable to iohexol. The information obtained in this study will be used to develop PK/pharmacodynamics (PD) optimized meropenem and cefepime dosing schemes based on the renal function biomarker population PK (PopPK) model with the best predictive performance for clinical use in the treatment of critically ill adult patients with suspected or documented AMR Gram-negative infections and varying degrees of renal function. The primary objective of this study is to compare the abilities of renal function biomarkers (CysC, CysC-based eGFR equations, SCR, SCREs) relative to iohexol to characterize the PK profiles of meropenem and cefepime in critically ill adult patients with suspected or documented AMR Gram-negative infections.

Safety Study of Intravenous Ertapenem in Combination With Zidebactam (WCK 6777)
Description

This is a Phase 1, single center study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of three dose-level groups of WCK 6777 (ERT and ZID combination), and two dose-level groups of ERT alone and ZID (WCK 5107) alone in 52 healthy adult male and female subjects aged 18 to 45 years old (both inclusive). Seven treatment cohorts will be evaluated in this study. WCK 6777 will be evaluated in three cohorts - Cohorts 1, 4 and 7- of 8 subjects each (6 study drug combinations and 2 placebos); ERT will be evaluated alone in two cohorts - Cohorts 2 and 5- of 8 subject each (6 ERT and 2 placebos); and ZID will be evaluated in two cohorts, Cohorts 3 and 6, of 6 subjects each (all ZID). The study will be placebo-controlled and double-blinded in all cohorts except Cohorts 3 and 6. No placebo subjects are included in standalone ZID cohorts, since adequate safety data for higher doses of ZID alone in comparison with placebo are available from completed Phase 1 studies of WCK 5107 (ZID) alone and the ZID-only arms of WCK 5222 (cefepime + ZID) studies. The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of three dose-escalating regimens of WCK 6777 ( ERT and ZID combination) and two-dose escalating regimens of standalone ERT or ZID following single daily doses for 7 days in healthy adult subjects.

Quantifying Gram-negative Resistance to Empiric Therapy in the Intensive Care Unit
Description

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health emergency estimated to be responsible for 700,000 deaths per year worldwide, and it is well known that previous antibiotic exposure is the single most contributing factor. For example, the use of non-antipseudomonal agents can increase risk for any P. aeruginosa strain; however, the use of an agent with antipseudomonal activity would select for resistance to that particular antimicrobial agent or class. Demonstrated that each additional day of exposure to any antipseudomonal beta-lactam is associated with an increased risk of new resistance development. The study seeks to determine whether the choice of empiric therapy (i.e., the same agent versus a different agent from prior antibiotic exposure) has any effect on the likelihood of in vitro activity against GN pathogens (GNPs) in a subsequent infection.
