NCT04229498

Brief Summary

COMBAT trial was contemplated to elucidate unknown clinical relevance of carbapenem heteroresistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae species. Bloodstream infections, type of frequently seen invasive infections that pathogen isolation, identification of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms can be performed efficiently, with carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) and carbapenem hetero-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae will be compared in terms of relevant clinical outcomes such as 30-day mortality rate, 14-day clinical cure rate, 7-day microbiological eradication rate and 90-day relapse/re-infection rate. In addition, underlying molecular resistance mechanisms causing carbapenem hetero-resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates will be investigated by using whole genome sequences.

Study Arms (2)

Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae group

Participants having bloodstream infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and systemic signs of infection. Only first bloodstream infection episode will be included for each participant

Drug: Monotherapy and combination therapy (all antibiotics that are given by attending pysicians and can be active against Klebsiella pneumoniae will be evaluated)

Carbapenem hetero-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae group

Participants having bloodstream infection caused by carbapenem-heteroresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and systemic signs of infection. Only first bloodstream infection episode will be included for each participant

Drug: Monotherapy and combination therapy (all antibiotics that are given by attending pysicians and can be active against Klebsiella pneumoniae will be evaluated)

Interventions

In carbapenem heteroresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae group, carbapenem monotherapy (ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem) vs other treatment groups will also be compared

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

All adult (≥18 years) patients who have monobacterial BSI with CRKp or carbapenem hetero-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and treated by infectious diseases specialist will be inculded except palliative patients and pregnant or breast-feeding patients. Participants having polimicrobial BSI episode (more than 1 microorganism identified in blood culture) and subsequent BSI episodes caused by CRKp or carbapenem heteroresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae will be excluded.

You may qualify if:

  • All adult (≥18 years) patients who have monobacterial BSI with CRKp or carbapenem hetero-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae except palliative patients and pregnant or breast-feeding patients

You may not qualify if:

  • \<18 years old patients
  • Palliative patients
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding patients
  • Subsequent BSI episodes in the same patients (only first episode will be included)
  • Polimicrobial bacteremia
  • Patients who are not followed and treated by infectious diseases physicians
  • Patients who die within 24 hours after onset of BSI which is defined as the time in which the sample for blood culture is taken.
