Trial summary

Extensively and multi-drug resistant A. baumannii (AB) represent an emerging threat in hospitals locally and worldwide. There is lack of prospective comparative clinical data to guide optimal strategy for treating such infections. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study of Patients With Drug Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Bacteremia Treated With Antibiotics Therapy

Extensively and multi-drug resistant A. baumannii (AB) represent an emerging threat in hospitals locally and worldwide. There is lack of prospective comparative clinical data to guide optimal strategy for treating such infections. Since it remains unclear how to treat bacteremia caused by AB, the present study aims to enroll patients at multiple sites with extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter species bacteremia receiving different combination therapy to assess treatment outcomes and analyze risk factors associated with mortality.

Read the detailed description

Patients with AB bacteremia receiving antimicrobial therapy are eligible for this multicenter study. Antimicrobial agents are decided at the discretion of the attending clinical team. Clinical data to be collected include patient demographics (age, gender, underlying diseases, Pitt Bacteremia Score [20], duration of ICU stay and hospitalization before the day of first positive blood culture, central venous catheterization), antimicrobial agents on the day of bacteremia, regimens and durations of combination therapy after enrollment, and outcomes (sequential quantification change of blood A. baumannii polymerase chain reaction [PCR], survival at day 30 after enrollment, and adverse drug reactions of antimicrobial agents). Blood sample will be collected on the day of enrollment (Day 0), Day 1, 2, 3 and 7 for PCR quantification of A. baumannii and for genospecies identification. Primary end points are the interval from study enrollment to negative blood A. baumannii PCR and blood sterilization. Secondary end points are survival at 14 and 30-day after enrollment, adverse drug reactions of antimicrobial agents, and risk factors for survival at 30-day after enrollment. Inclusion criteria: 1. Adults >16 years 2. With blood culture isolate(s) A. baumannii. 3. Informed consent gained. Exclusion criteria: 1. Second/repeat episodes of bacteremia 2. Patients who could not or did not receive antimicrobial treatment 3. Patient not admitted to hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. Microbiological clearance from blood

    Interval from positive to negative blood A. baumannii PCR and blood sterilization.

    Measured: Day 0,1,2,3,7

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Survival

    Survival at 14, 30-day after enrollment. Survival to discharge.

    Measured: 14, 30, in-hospital stay

  2. Adverse drug reactions

    Nephrotoxicity by RIFLE criteria

    Measured: Day 0,1,2,3,7,14

  3. Subsequent infections and colonization

    Measured: During same admission or within 1 week of discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acinetobacter Bacteraemia, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 3 sites in Taiwan.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Aristine Cheng, MBBChir (+886 975765607, aristine@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Microbiological clearance from blood (time frame: Day 0,1,2,3,7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Jan 2012.
