Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is an investigational small molecule being developed for critically ill patients with proven or suspected Gram-negative bacterial infections, including complicated urinary tract infections, complicated intra-abdominal infections, nosocomial pneumonia, and healthcare-associated pneumonia. It is a combination antibiotic being studied in infectious disease.
Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug for various Gram-negative bacterial infections in both adult and pediatric populations.
Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is in Phase 2 clinical development. While one Phase 3 trial has been completed, the drug's overall development stage is Phase 2, and it remains investigational. It is not FDA approved and is still undergoing clinical evaluation for its safety and efficacy.
Ceftolozane/Tazobactam has been studied in several completed trials, including NCT02070757 for ventilated nosocomial pneumonia, NCT03217136 for pediatric complicated intra-abdominal infection, NCT03230838 for pediatric complicated urinary tract infection, and NCT04223752 for pediatric nosocomial pneumonia. These trials enrolled a total of 726 participants.
Yes, Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is also known as MK-7625A. Clinical trial titles reference MK-7625A, such as NCT03217136 and NCT03230838, which study the drug in pediatric patients with complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections.
