About this study
Official title: TREAT-GNB [CR-GNB]
TREAT-GNB is an innovative trial to expedite the evaluation of various antibiotic choices and treatment strategies for severe multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, specifically bloodstream and lower respiratory tract infections. This approach combines platform trial elements with adaptive clinical designs to streamline the evaluation of various treatment options and optimise resource utilisation. The overall aim of the TREAT-GNB platform trial is to identify interventions that improve survival in patients with severe infections due to Gram-negative bacteria.
In the CR-GNB silo of TREAT-GNB, the primary objective is to quantify the effect on all-cause mortality at 28 days of a range of interventions in patients with bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by CR-GNB.

- Model description
- The backbone domain is a multi-arm antibiotic treatment intervention with a personalisable randomisation list. It adopts the "Personalised Randomised Controlled Trial" (PRACTical) design, which allows each participant to be randomised between a personalised randomisation list of treatments that are suitable for them. Each patient randomisation list ("personalised randomisation list") may be tailored based on their kidney function, pathogen genotype, pathogen antibiotic susceptibility and physician preference. Potential participants may be enrolled and randomised if they are eligible for at least two antibiotic options in the site randomisation list.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Colistin/Polymyxin B + Sulbactam, Colistin/Polymyxin B + Tigecycline/Eravacycline and Colistin/Polymyxin B + Meropenem in people with Bloodstream Infection and Ventilator Associated Bacterial Pneumonia, run by National University of Singapore at 41 sites in 12 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 41 sites in Spain, Malaysia, China, Thailand, Australia and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yin Mo, MBBS, PhD (+65 65164988, mdcmy@nus.edu.sg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Clinical outcome (time frame: 28 days post-randomisation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07004049, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2025.
