Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Pharmacokinetic cohort

After at least 2 doses of study drug, serial blood samples will be collected from 12 non-infected, obese ICU patients to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of imipenem and relebactam in this population.

Drug: Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam 1.25g
Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam is a combination beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor antimicrobial marketed under the brand name Recarbrio and the approved dose is 1.25g Q6h in patients with normal renal function. The individual components of this agent must be administered together and cannot be separated. Therefore, this constitutes only one intervention. Each subject will receive at least 2 doses of study drug.
Other Names:
  • Recarbrio
  • Experimental: Safety cohort

    After at least 2 doses of study drug, safety will be monitored closely during study drug dosing and through 72 hours after the last dose is administered in the same 12 non-infected, obese ICU patients from the PK arm

    Drug: Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam 1.25g
    Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam is a combination beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor antimicrobial marketed under the brand name Recarbrio and the approved dose is 1.25g Q6h in patients with normal renal function. The individual components of this agent must be administered together and cannot be separated. Therefore, this constitutes only one intervention. Each subject will receive at least 2 doses of study drug.

  • Recarbrio
