Overview
Through a prospective randomized controlled trial, we systematically evaluate the effects of Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula combined with bacteriophage therapy on the bacterial clearance rate, disease improvement rate and mortality rate in patients with severe pneumonia caused by drug-resistant bacteria, so as to clarify its clinical transformation value.
Interventions
- Drug YHDF Drug
7-day treatment with YHDF Drug - Drug YHDF Placebo
7-day treatment with YHDF placebo - Drug Bacteriophage
7-14-day treatment with phage - Drug Bacteriophage Placebo
7-14-day treatment with phage placebo
Primary outcome measures
- Clearance rate of drug-resistant bacteria [Time frame: 14 days]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Time to clinical improvement [Time frame: 7 days]
- All-cause mortality [Time frame: 28 days]
