About this study

The study is a prospective open trial conducted in 4 centers, and designed to determine if pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of imipenem, associated with amikacin as empirical therapy, impact microbiological and clinical outcome of patients with Gram negative bacilli (GNB) ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Read the detailed description

Inappropriate initial antibiotherapy increases mortality of many serious infections. This is the case for ventilator-associated pneumonia, frequently occurring during intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization, and whose 48 first hours of treatment are decisive.

It is well established that pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of antibiotics are correlated with their clinical and microbiological effectiveness. However in ICU patients, pharmacokinetic parameters of antibiotics suffer great variations, and bacteria responsible for these infections are usually less sensitive to antibiotics, especially Gram negative bacilli (GNB). An important pharmacodynamic variability may occur at the initial phase of the antibiotic treatment, decisive for the infection's outcome.

We propose to evaluate the correlation between pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of the empirical antibiotic therapy and the microbiological and clinical outcome of VAP.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1:Imipenem/AmikacinExperimentalpatients will receive as empirical therapy for VAP imipenem associated with amikacin.After primary outcome measure, antibiotic therapy will be left at the discretion of the physician in charge of the patient. Imipenem: recommended usual dosage for VAP treatment, IV (in the vein), every 8 hours Amikacin: recommended usual dosage for VAP treatment (20mg/kg), IV (in the vein), single dose (at H0) for the 48 first hours of treatment
Receives: Drug: Imipenem/Amikacin

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Variation of numeration (cfu per ml) of GNB, for whom culture of pulmonary samples are positive (higher than defined thresholds), between the quantitative endotracheal aspiration (QAE) obtained at H0 (initiation of treatment) and QAE obtained at H48

    Measured: Hour 48

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. To describe imipenem and amikacin PK parameters as empirical therapy in ICU patients treated for VAP

    Measured: Hour 24

  2. To describe imipenem and amikacin PD parameters as empirical therapy in ICU patients treated for VAP

    Measured: Hour 24

  3. To determine the proportion of patients for whom the pharmacodynamic targets suggested in the literature for aminoglycosides and beta lactams are achieved

    Measured: Hour 24

  4. To identify sources of variability of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters in ICU patients with VAP

    Measured: Hour 24

  5. To assess the impact of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters on GNB eradication at day 3

    Measured: Day 3

  6. To assess the impact of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters variability on the CPIS, clinical score of VAP, measured 48 hours after initiation of the treatment

    Measured: Hour 48

  7. To assess the impact of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters on the time necessary to observe a CPIS lower or equal to 6

    Measured: Day 8

  8. To assess the impact of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters on clinical evolution of the VAP after 7 days of antibiotic treatment

    Measured: Day 8

  9. To assess the impact of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters on serum procalcitonin levels evolution between the initiation of the treatment and 48 hours after the initiation of the treatment of the VAP

    Measured: Hour 48

  10. To assess the impact of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters on mortality at day 28 (Day 28) 11- to assess the impact of imipenem and amikacin PK/PD parameters on VAP relapse

    Measured: Day 28

  11. To study emergence of less sensitive bacteria to imipenem and/or amikacin, 48 hours after the initiation of the antibiotic treatment, among GNB isolated in endotracheal aspiration before initiation of this treatment

    Measured: Hour 48

  12. To study emergence in the tracheal and digestive flora of micro-organisms resistant to imipenem after the first 48 hours of treatment by imipenem

    Measured: Hour 48

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?

Variation of numeration (cfu per ml) of GNB, for whom culture of pulmonary samples are positive (higher than defined thresholds), between the quantitative endotracheal aspiration (QAE) obtained at H0 (initiation of treatment) and QAE obtained at H48 (time frame: Hour 48). 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 NCT00950222, which also lists 2 linked publications.
