A dose range study on FK 037, a parenteral cephalosporin, was conducted in patients with bacterial pneumonia. 1) Patients with bacterial pneumonia were intravenously infused with FK 037 at a dose of 0.5 g (0.5 g group), 1.0 g (1.0 g group) or 2.0 g (2.0 g group), twice daily, for 14 days as a rule. Of 95 patients, 82 were assessed for the efficacy and clinical usefulness of the drug, and 93 patients for the safety of the drug. 2) The clinical efficacy rate was 85.2% (23/27) in the 0.5 g group, 90.0% (27/30) in the 1.0 g group and 92.0% (23/25) in the 2.0 g group. 3) In the bacteriological evaluation, the eradication rate was 91.7% (11/12) in the 0.5 g group, 85.7% (6/7) in the 1.0 g group and 90.9% (10/11) in the 2.0 g group. 4) As for side effects, diarrhea was observed in only 1 patient in the 1.0 g group. 5) Abnormal changes in laboratory tests were observed in 6 patients (19.4%) in the 0.5 g group, 11 patients (34.4%) in the 1.0 g group and 5 patients (17.9%) in the 2.0 g group. None of the abnormal laboratory findings was serious or associated with clinical symptoms. 6) Clinical usefulness rates were 81.5% (22/27), 86.7% (26/30) and 92.0% (23/25) in the 0.5 g, 1.0 g and 2.0 g group, respectively. We considered that a twice daily dose of 1.0 g of FK 037 is the appropiate clinical dosase for bacterial pneumonia.
