Comparing treatments for ICU patients with resistant Acinetobacter infections
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial compares different treatment options for patients in the ICU who have a resistant bacterial infection called Acinetobacter baumannii. If you have this infection after surgery, the study aims to find the best way to treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18+) who has recently had surgery (abdominal, vascular, or after major trauma).
- You are now in the intensive care unit (ICU) for recovery after that surgery.
- You have a positive test for Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria along with signs of a body-wide infection, such as fever, high CRP, or high white blood cell count.
- The bacteria must be resistant to the antibiotic carbapenem (a strong type of antibiotic).
- You are not allergic to the study medications, and you agree to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two different antibiotic combinations (ampicillin/sulbactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam) to see which works better against a type of bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii) that is resistant to many other drugs. It is for critically ill patients with signs of sepsis.
This trial studies whether cefiderocol plus ampicillin-sulbactam works better than colistin (sometimes with meropenem) for serious infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (a hard-to-treat germ). It may help by finding a more effective antibiotic plan for people with these severe hospital-acquired infections.
This trial tests a combination of antibiotics (BV100, polymyxin B, and either ceftazidime/avibactam or cefiderocol) for serious lung or bloodstream infections caused by a tough-to-treat bacteria called Acinetobacter. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works better than current treatments.
This study tests different antibiotic combinations for severe infections caused by hard-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria (like Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter). The goal is to find the best treatment for bloodstream infections or pneumonia that started in the hospital.
This trial compares a new antibiotic (BV100 plus low-dose polymyxin B) against a standard treatment for pneumonia caused by a hard-to-treat bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii). If you have hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia and standard antibiotics aren't working, this study may offer a new option.
This study tests a precise dosing approach for the antibiotic ceftazidime-avibactam to treat serious infections in ICU patients. It aims to help people with hard-to-treat bacteria that are resistant to many other antibiotics.
