Registration Number
NCT04673175
Lead Sponsor
Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Brief Summary

This is an open-label study, where participants will be given ceftolozane-tazobactam as the primary treatment for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. Open-label means both the investigator and the participant will known what drug will be given. Participants will be followed for approximately 60 days. Ceftolozane-tazobactam is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of serious bacterial infection and the investigator hypothesizes that ceftolozane/tazobactam may be effective as the primary antibiotic treatment for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

Inclusion Criteria
  • At least 18 years old
  • Presence of hematologic malignancy or Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Global response at end of therapyDay 60

The proportion of subjects with a complete or partial Global Response (GR). Complete response is defined as "Survival within the prespecified period of observation, resolution of all attributable symptoms and signs of disease and radiological abnormalities, and microbiological evidence of eradication of disease." Partial response is defined as "Survival within the prespecified period of observation, improvement in attributable symptoms and signs of disease and radiological abnormalities, and evidence of clearance of cultures."
