Study description

ATM-AVI offers broad-spectrum activity against β-lactamase-producing bacteria, including MBL producers and provides optimized ATM and AVI exposure.14,22 While clinical studies have established ATM-AVI’s pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics profile, effectiveness and safety, data from routine clinical practice is scarce – particularly with regards to patient characteristics and clinical outcomes.23-28 The ASSEMBLE study specifically evaluated ATM-AVI activity against MBL-producing pathogens.21 Although the study's results suggest a promising role for ATM-AVI in treating serious infections caused by MBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria,21 the study's relatively small sample size limits the generalizability of these findings.   

Assessing the real-world performance of ATM-AVI and understanding its utilization for approved indications are therefore critical from a public health perspective, providing insights into the drug’s performance across diverse patient populations and clinical settings and complementing findings from controlled clinical trials. This information is valuable for highlighting the therapeutic value of ATM-AVI in combatting MDR GNB infections, which pose a significant growing public health threat.29 Furthermore, understanding the specific clinical scenarios in which ATM-AVI is prescribed can directly inform healthcare policy and resource allocation, enabling public health authorities to monitor the emergence of resistance patterns and ensuring that ATM-AVI remains a viable treatment option. In summary, evaluating the real-world application of ATM-AVI is critical, as it informs clinical practice, supports effective healthcare planning and contributes to the global effort against antimicrobial resistance.  This evidence gap will be addressed by conducting an international, multi-center, descriptive retrospective medical chart review to comprehensively describe the real-world clinical outcomes associated with the use of ATM-AVI in adult patients.
