简要总结
This is a Phase 1, open label, evaluation of a 13C-urea breath test for the detection of urease-producing bacteria in patient with pneumonia in the emergency department.
详细描述
This is a Phase 1, open-label evaluation of an inhaled 13C-urea breath test in the identification of urease positive bacteria in patients diagnosed with pneumonia in the emergency department (ED). This study will enroll up to 75 adult male and female subjects in two cohorts. Adult subjects will be screened for participation in two dosing cohorts to be enrolled sequentially. Cohort A will enroll 15 subjects presenting to the ED with clinical concern for pneumonia and plan for outpatient treatment. Following enrollment and review of the safety of dosing in Cohort A, subjects receiving a diagnosis of pneumonia in the ED that are planned for admission will be screened for enrollment in Cohort B. Eligible subjects will provide informed consent, medical history, and samples for laboratory testing (including pregnancy testing for females of childbearing potential) during screening. Subjects will be evaluated for their CURB-65 Pneumonia Severity Score, and Community-Acquired Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) where required data are available.
Prior to breath test administration, subjects will provide a sputum sample for bacterial culture; sample may be induced, or collected as part of initial ED workup if appropriate culture has been ordered. Subjects will undergo breath test with collection of baseline breath samples (up to 6), followed by complete nebulization of 13C-urea solution. Immediately following the end of nebulization, breath collection bag samples will be collected at up to 6 time points with at least 1 minute intervals within 10 minutes post-nebulization. Exhaled breath bags will be centrally processed to determine the change in exhaled 13CO2 levels. Vital signs, including resting blood pressure, resting pulse, respiratory rate, peripheral oxygen saturation, and temperature will be collected prior to, and following completion of, nebulization treatment. In the event of bronchospasm, during or following nebulization, albuterol rescue will be available for treatment at the discretion of the investigator.
Once required tests are complete, the subject will be treated/followed according to standard institutional protocol/practice. The subjects' clinical course will be followed for at least 24 hours, where possible, to document the final diagnosis and outcome.

结局指标
主要结局
Adverse Events
时间窗: Within 24-48 hours of breath test
Any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related.
Serious Adverse Events
时间窗: Within 24-48 hours of breath test
Death, disability, incapacitation, escalation of level of care, prolongation of hospitalization, birth defect, or intervention to prevent the above.
Serious Suspected Adverse Reaction
时间窗: Within 24-48 hours of breath test
Any Suspected Adverse Reaction that is determined to be serious, based on the outcomes of a Serious Adverse Event; i.e. death, life-threatening, causes or prolongs inpatient hospitalization, causes a persistent of significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or a congenital abnormality/birth defect.
Suspected Adverse Reaction
时间窗: Within 24-48 hours of breath test
Any adverse event for which there is a reasonable possibility that the adverse event was caused by the study drug.
