Evaluation of Plazomicin, Tigecycline, and Meropenem Pharmacodynamic Exposure against Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Patients with Bloodstream Infection or Hospital-Acquired/Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia from the CARE Study (ACHN-490-007)

ConclusionsPlazomicin successfully achieved its requisite pharmacodynamic exposure, and these data suggest that optimization of tigecycline and meropenem therapy was not required for the combination to achieve microbiological response and clinical efficacy against serious CRE infections.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01970371.FundingAchaogen, Inc.
