Polycolistin E Sodium Mesylate Combined With Intravenous Atomization for Carbapenem Resistant Gram-negative Bacteria in Pulmonary Infection

March 31, 2025 updated by: First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University

A Multicenter, Prospective, Open-label Clinical Study on the Treatment of Carbapenem Resistant Gram-negative Bacterial Lung Infection With Sodium Polycolistin E Mesylate Intravenically Combined With Atomization

Pulmonary infection is a kind of infectious disease that seriously damages human health. It usually starts quickly and progresses rapidly in clinical manifestations, and is often accompanied by upper respiratory tract infection symptoms. With the increasing use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in clinical practice, the failure of anti-infection caused by drug-resistant bacteria is more and more common. Once a patient develops carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CRO) infection, there are limited drug options. Therefore, HAP, as a serious and common complication, has a high incidence and mortality for ICU patients. In this study, patients who met the diagnostic criteria for pulmonary infection caused by CRO that was clearly or strongly suspected to be resistant to carbapenems but sensitive to CMS were selected, and the combined treatment regimen of CMS intravenous atomization was adopted. To explore the therapeutic effect of CMS combined with intravenous atomization in patients with carbapenem resistant gram-negative bacteria in lung infection. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination regimen in patients with pulmonary infections caused by CRO. The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of CMS combined with intravenous atomization in the treatment of patients with CRO induced pulmonary infection, and to provide a basis for its clinical rational application.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical effective rate
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 14 days

Clinical effective rate = (number of effective cases/total number of treated cases) × 100% Effective cases are those that include complete response (disappearance of symptoms), partial response (significant improvement in symptoms), or those that meet specific efficacy criteria.

Inactive cases are patients whose symptoms do not improve or worsen.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 14 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Microbial clearance
Time Frame: 14-day treatment
The microbial clearance rate can be calculated by calculating the change in the number of microorganisms before and after disinfection. Specifically, the number of microorganisms before disinfection minus the number of microorganisms after disinfection, divided by the number of microorganisms before disinfection, to obtain the proportion of microbial reduction.
14-day treatment
