New antibiotic cocktail aimed at Drug-Resistant infections in babies

NCT ID NCT06462235

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a combination of two antibiotics, aztreonam and avibactam, in newborns and infants up to 9 months old who have serious infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. The trial has two parts: one to see how a single dose moves through the body, and another to test multiple doses over up to 14 days. Researchers will monitor safety and how well the drug works, aiming to find a better treatment for these tough infections in young babies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

aztreonam and avibactam (antibiotic combination, with or without metronidazole)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a safe and effective antibiotic option for hard-to-treat bacterial infections in very young infants.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to all infants. The drug combination may still cause side effects or not work as well as hoped.
