Summary

This completed Phase 1 study tested how two antibiotics, ceftibuten and ledaborbactam, move through the blood and lungs of 34 healthy adults aged 18-55. Participants took five doses of the drugs and underwent a bronchoscopy to measure drug levels in lung fluid. The goal was to understand safety and drug distribution, not to treat any disease.
