About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Pneumonia focused on measuring Pneumonia, Gram-negative bacteria

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female subjects with confirmed pneumonia, defined as the presence of a new progressive infiltrate(s) on chest radiograph and the presence of gram-negative organism by either culture or Gram stain of respiratory secretions. The subject must be intubated and mechanically ventilated and expected to remain so for at least 3 days after the start of study treatment. Subjects with a tracheostomy were also eligible.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with compromised or suppressed Immune systems, severe hypoxemia, neutropenia, serum creatinine > 2mg/dl and chronic liver disease
  • Had primary lung cancer or another malignancy metastatic to the lungs
  • Were known or suspected to have active tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
  • Were receiving immunosuppressive therapy, defined as chronic treatment with known immunosuppressant medications
  • Had a body mass index of ≥30 kg/m2
  • Had burns >40% of total body surface area
  • Had known local or systemic hypersensitivity to amikacin or aminoglycosides
  • Had a diagnosis of end-stage renal failure or were currently on dialysis treatment
  • Had a serum albumin level <2 g/dL at Screening
  • Used amikacin by any route within 7 days before the start of study treatment
  • Had a presence of any concomitant condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude completion of study evaluations or make it unlikely that the contemplated course of therapy and Follow-Up could be completed
  • Had known respiratory colonization with amikacin-resistant gram-negative rods
