About this study

This investigation is a prospective, open-label pharmacokinetic study of daptomycin prophylaxis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery without valvular replacement.

Read the detailed description

Cardiothoracic surgery is a commonly performed procedure in the United States. Many sites previously used cefazolin, an antibiotic, as standard prophylaxis to prevent surgical site infections. However, given most bacteria causing surgical site infections are now resistant to cefazolin, most center are using vancomycin, an alternative antibiotic, as surgical antibiotic prophylaxis. However, some patients cannot take vancomycin, and there are no well studied alternatives to vancomycin for surgical prophylaxis. Therefore, we are studying daptomycin, a newer United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antibiotic, as prophylaxis against surgical site infections among patients undergoing cardiothoracic bypass (CPB) with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Our study will not be powered to see if daptomycin is as effective as vancomycin at preventing surgical site infections. Instead, the purpose of this study is to validate that adequate levels of antibiotics are present in patients' blood during cardiothoracic bypass surgery.

Study subjects in the intervention group will be followed from the time of enrollment in the study until their discharge from the hospital, or up to 7 days following administration of daptomycin, whichever comes first.

The first 15 subjects enrolled will receive the intervention drug daptomycin as surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and the following 15 subjects will be enrolled as matched controls and will receive the standard of care surgical prophylaxis per the patient's treating physicians. The controls will undergo monitoring for the same safety outcomes that the patients who received daptomycin will undergo.

Subjects enrolled in the intervention group will receive a single intravenous administration of daptomycin 8 milligram (mg)/kilogram (kg) 30-60 minutes prior to surgery (incision). Blood samples will be drawn by the Research Coordinator. A total of 85 (milliliters) mL of blood will be collected during the study. A total of 14 blood samples will be collected: 4 samples at the Pre-CPB phase, 4 samples during the CPB procedure, and 6 samples Post-CPB. Total plasma daptomycin concentrations will be determined utilizing standard high-performance liquid chromatography techniques. Plasma concentrations will be compared to the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC90) of the common pathogens involved in surgical site infections, specifically Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase negative Staphylococcus.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • daptomycinDrug

    Also called Cubicin

    Subjects enrolled in the intervention group will receive a single intravenous administration of daptomycin 8 mg/kg 30-60 minutes prior to surgery (incision). The 500 mg vial will be reconstituted with 10 mL of 0.9% normal saline (NS) and further diluted in 50 mL of 0.9% NS to be given over a 30 minute infusion.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CasesExperimentalThe first 15 subjects enrolled will receive the intervention drug daptomycin as surgical antibiotic prophylaxis.
Receives: Drug: daptomycin
ControlsNo intervention15 subjects will be enrolled in the standard of care antibiotic group to serve as the controls. Controls will receive no experimental medications or treatments. The purpose of enrolling control patients was to serve as a reference group for intervention patients. Specifically cases and controls will be compared for changes in commonly collected hematologic parameters, creatinine, and CPK. Additionally, parameters collected during anesthesia will be compared. Controls will be matched to the intervention group by age (+/- 10 years), gender, and ethnicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing daptomycin in people with Late Effects of Surgery and Staphylococcus Aureus, run by Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 29 Aug 2016. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Daptomycin Concentrations at 12, 18, 24, and 48 h (time frame: Hospital discharge or 7 days, whichever comes first). 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 NCT00701636, 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 29 Aug 2016.
