Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of bacteriophage cocktail therapy in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study investigates the clinical application of bacteriophage therapy in severe infections through a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial targeting ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The trial will comprehensively assess the efficacy, safety, and applicability of inhaled bacteriophage cocktail therapy, providing high-quality clinical evidence to support the establishment of an evidence-based framework for phage therapy. The primary endpoint is clinical response rate, with secondary endpoints including bacterial clearance and 28-day mortality, aiming to determine the therapeutic potential and clinical value of phage cocktails in VAP treatment.
