What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests three different antibiotic combinations to treat a dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria called CRAB that causes infections in intensive care patients. Researchers will compare colistin combined with either fosfomycin, ampicillin/sulbactam, or eravacycline in 108 surgical ICU patients. The goal is to find which combination clears the infection fastest and improves survival.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
colistin combined with either fosfomycin, ampicillin/sulbactam, or eravacycline
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the most effective antibiotic combination for treating drug-resistant CRAB infections in ICU patients, potentially improving survival and reducing hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (108 participants) and results may not apply to all patients. Antibiotic resistance is complex, and even the best combination may not work for everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Surgical patients (abdominal, vascular, and polytraumatized patients) * Older than 18 years * Require postoperative treatment in the ICU * A positive sample (surveillance or diagnostic) for A. baumannii with signs of systemic infection Infection will be defined as a diagnostic microbiologically positive sample for A. baumannii and a surveillance microbiologically positive sample for A. baumannii with signs of systemic infection (elevated CRP, leukocytes, and body temperature). Colonization will be defined as a positive surveillance microbiological sample for A. baumannii in the absence of signs of systemic infection (normal CRP, leukocytes, and body temperature). Exclusion Criteria: * Allergy to the study medications * Positive surveillance swabs for A. baumannii without signs of systemic infection * Positive findings (surveillance or diagnostic) for carbapenem-sensitive A. baumannii * Refusal to participate in the research
