Summary

This phase 3 trial tests a new antibiotic combination (BV100 plus low-dose polymyxin B) against a standard treatment (colistin plus ampicillin/sulbactam) for hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by a drug-resistant bacteria called CRABC. The study will enroll 248 adults and measure survival rates at 28 days. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to treat this serious infection.
