About this study

The aim of this study is to determine whether antibiotic treatment could reduce mechanical ventilation duration in patients with nosocomial tracheobronchitis acquired under mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

Rationale:

Ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT) is common in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, rates of 2.7%-10.6% are reported in the literature. This nosocomial infection is associated with weaning difficulties resulting in prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) and ICU stay. A case-control study performed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with VAT found antibiotic treatment to be significantly associated with reduced duration of MV. Another case control-study, performed in VAT patients without chronic respiratory failure, found no significant difference in duration of MV between patients who received adequate antibiotic treatment and those who received inadequate antibiotic treatment. In addition, antibiotic use is known to be associated with subsequent multidrug-resistant bacteria (MRB), longer duration of MV, and mortality rates. Therefore, a randomized controlled study is necessary to determine the impact of antibiotic treatment on outcome in VAT patients.

Patients and methods:

390 patients will be included in this prospective randomized open multicenter study. Inclusion of 390 patients is required to demonstrate a significant reduction of MV duration of 5 days (α = 0.025, β = 0.10). An intermediate analysis will be performed. All patients intubated and ventilated > 48h who developed a first episode of VAT are eligible. Primary endpoint is the duration of MV. Secondary end points are ICU length of stay, mortality, ventilator-associated pneumonia, ICU-acquired infection, MRB, and yeast rates.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing antibiotic treatment in people with Respiratory Tract Diseases and Nosocomial Infections, run by University Hospital, Lille at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

duration of mechanical ventilation. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00122057, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2011.
