Antimicrobials have been a cornerstone of modern medicine. However, antimicrobial resistance is now one of the most urgent global health threats. To combat the increasing antimicrobial resistance, optimising the clinical use of current antibiotics and development of new antibiotics are critical and require robust clinical trials using pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic/toxicodynamic principles. In this ISAC online roundtable event, internationally leading clinicians and researchers will review the latest progress in clinical trials on antibiotics targeting antimicrobial resistance and discuss the challenges and opportunities.
Key Objectives
• Know how critical clinical trials are in the development of new antibiotics
• Learn how to design efficient clinical trials targeting antimicrobial resistance
• Understand how clinical trial networks can help
