4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary objective of this study is to compare all-cause mortality at Day 14 in participants receiving cefiderocol with participants receiving the comparator, meropenem, in adults with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), or healthcare-associated bacterial pneumonia (HCABP) caused by Gram-negative pathogens.
This study is designed to provide evidence of efficacy of cefiderocol in the treatment of serious infections in adult patients caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens.
Single center, retrospective chart review. Patients admitted to MDMC ICU from 4/1/2017 to 6/30/2020 will be identified through the electronic medical record utilizing ICD codes for HAP and VAP.
The hypothesis to be tested is that ticagrelor (Brilinta™) will reduce platelet activation and markers of inflammation in patients with pneumonia.
