RECRUITINGPhase 2INTERVENTIONAL

A Trial of HRS-8427 in the Treatment of Adults With Bacterial Pneumonia

A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Active Controlled, Parallel Groups, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HRS-8427 in the Treatment of Adults With Hospital-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP) or Ventilator-associated Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP)

A Trial of HRS-8427 in the Treatment of Adults With Bacterial Pneumonia (NCT06841731) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Hospital-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP) and Ventilator-associated Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP), sponsored by Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd.. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HRS -8427 in patients with HABP/VABP.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Hospital-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP) and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 100 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Hospital-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP) subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Be able and willing to provide a written willing to sign a consent form before the study, fully understand the study and be able to complete the study according to the protocol. 2. Male and female, ≥18 years. 3. Judged by the investigator, clinical diagnosis with HABP/VABP, expectation that the patients will require hospitalization and initial treatment with intravenous antibiotics. 4. All subjects must have a chest radiograph during screening or within 48h before randomization, showing the presence of new or progressive infiltrate(s) suggestive of bacterial pneumonia. 5. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test before the first dose and must be non-lactating. Fertile female subjects or male subjects whose partner is a fertile female agree to use highly effective form of contraception, with no plan of birth and sperm/ovum donation from the time of signing the willing to sign a consent form form (ICF) till 14 days after the end of treatment. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Subjects who have known or suspected community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP), atypical pneumonia, or chemical pneumonia. 2. Subjects who have known or suspected pneumonia caused by mycoplasma, chlamydia, legionella, viruses, fungi or parasites. 3. HABP or VABP caused by obstruction. 4. Subjects who have received potentially effective antibiotic therapy for a continuous duration of more than 24 hours during the previous 72 hours prior to randomization. 5. Impairment of renal function with estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 15 mL/min, or receiving peritoneal dialysis/hemodialysis. 6. Subjects with significant laboratory abnormalities. 7. Other pulmonary diseases that may confound the assessment of efficacy or safety. 8. Known history of immune deficiency disease or receive immunocompromising treatment. 9. Severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with clinical significance and unstable or uncontrolled condition. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06841731), the sponsor (Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd.), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?
