Summary

This trial aims to test the safety and effectiveness of a new medication called ATM-AVI for treating infections caused by a type of bacteria called gram-negative bacteria. The medication is a combination of two drugs,

Who is the study for?
The CHERISH trial is for hospitalized newborns and infants up to 9 months old, including preterm babies. It's for those with suspected or confirmed bacterial infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. Babies already on antibiotics for over 24 hours may join Part B unless they're not improving after 48 hours of treatment.
What is being tested?
This study tests ATM-AVI, a combination antibiotic therapy given via IV (in the vein). Part A involves a single dose to check safety and effects, while Part B gives multiple doses to treat actual infections.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't detailed here but can include typical antibiotic reactions such as allergic responses, digestive upset, rash, or changes in blood tests that monitor liver and kidney function.
