Summary

This trial will test the safety and how well cefiderocol works when combined with xeruborbactam in healthy adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults who can participate in a study to understand how two drugs interact with each other. Specific eligibility details are not provided, but typically participants should have no significant health issues.
What is being tested?
The study tests the interaction between Xeruborbactam and Cefiderocol, both antibiotics, in healthy adults. It's randomized and placebo-controlled, meaning some people get the real drugs while others get an inactive substance without knowing which one they received.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a phase 1 trial primarily focused on safety and how the body processes the drugs (pharmacokinetics), potential side effects may include typical drug reactions such as nausea, headaches, allergic reactions or site-specific issues like pain where the drug was administered.
