简要总结
Antibacterial drugs are facing increasing limitations in terms of effectiveness due to emergence resistance. Improved antibacterial drug monitoring approaches are particularly needed in nosocomial infections occurring in ICU patients, including ventilator-associated pneumonia and ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis, where decreased susceptibility of the etiological organisms is observed worldwide and pharmacokinetic alterations frequently observed.
No routine drug monitoring is available for betalactams at the point of care in a useful time frame (i.e., within a few hours after having collected the blood specimens).
The purpose of this study is to compare MON4STRAT approach for reaching and maintaining a meropenem pre-determined PK-PD target when compared to conventional meropenem dose.

结局指标
主要结局
To document the superiority of the MON4STRAT approach for reaching and maintaining a meropenem pre-determined PK-PD target when compared to conventional therapies.
时间窗: During meropenem treatment: Day1 to Day 7
The proportion of time from day 1 after randomization to end of therapy (EOT) in which the free meropenem trough concentration in serum was maintained above 8 mg/L or above 4 x MIC if antibiotic MIC \> 2 and ≤ 8 mg/L, without exceeding 140 mg/L at peak level, as determined by a method of reference (HPLC).
次要结局
- ICU and hospital length of stay(Up to day 28)
- Number of mechanical ventilation-free days, defined as the number of days of unassisted breathing(Up to day 28)
- Time to LRT bacterial eradication, as assessed by follow-up cultures of ETA(Days 3, 5, 7 of treatment and at the end of treatment (EOT) visit)
- Clinical and microbiological response rates(Test of cure (TOC) visit (7 to 10 days after last study drug infusion))
- All-cause mortality(Day 14 and day 28)
