A Post-Marketing Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Polymyxin B and Colistin Methanesulfonate in Patients With Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infection

This is a retrospective, observational, post-marketing study to evaluate the clinical response, microbiological response, mortality, and safety of intravenous polymyxin B and colistin methanesulfonate in patients with carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial infection. Subgroup analysis by sites of infection, infectious pathogens, and baseline renal function will also be performed.

Investigation of the Effects of Oxidized Antigens on the T-Cell Response and the Epigenetic Reprogramming of Neutrophils in Lung Diseases - OXIGENE -

The OXIGENE study is a research project that aims to better understand how the immune system behaves in people with lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and viral lung infections. By analyzing a single blood sample, the study examines how certain immune cells react during inflammation and infection, and whether lasting changes in these cells influence how strongly the body responds to disease. Although participants do not receive direct medical benefit, the results may help improve future diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases by providing deeper insight into immune responses.

Efficacy and Safety of Faropenem in Bangladeshi Adult Patients With Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP)

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of faropenem in comparison to co-amoxiclav and clarithromycin in Bangladeshi adults diagnosed with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. The first arm will receive faropenem at a dosage of 200 mg administered three times daily for a duration of seven days. The second arm will receive co-amoxiclav 625 mg, also three times daily, along with clarithromycin 500 mg, administered twice daily for seven days. All participants included in the study will undergo follow-up assessments over a period of four weeks. This research aims to provide valuable insights regarding the potential role of faropenem, thereby enhancing clinical outcomes and informing antibiotic stewardship in a region significantly burdened by CABP and characterized by limited treatment alternatives.
