Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative Releases Recommendations to Enhance the Feasibility of Developing New Antibacterial Drugs

CTTI Project: ABDD Streamlining HABP/VABP

CTTI’s two new sets recommendations outline innovative approaches to designing clinical trials for HABP/VABP, including early enrollment strategies and the streamlined collection of safety data. CTTI convened multi-stakeholder teams to analyze the challenges associated with HABP/VABP trials and develop the proposed solutions. The feasibility of these new approaches will be tested in an upcoming pilot study, the findings of which are expected to help drive adoption of streamlined practices for antibacterial drug development across the clinical trial enterprise.
