Lung penetration puzzle: study probes antibiotic failure in pneumonia

NCT ID NCT03927079

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at why some antibiotics don't work well for lung infections. Even if the drug level in the blood is correct, it may not reach the lungs. Researchers will measure antibiotic levels in the lung fluid of 101 patients who are not improving on standard treatment. The goal is to find factors that predict good lung penetration, so doctors can better tailor antibiotic doses.
