About this study

The non-susceptibility of enterobacteriaceae isolates to carbapenem (CARBA) is an emerging concern with a high impact on infectious disease therapy. carbapenemase (CARBase) production are one of the mechanisms of resistance to CARBA. When CARBase production is suspected or proved, specific hygiene measures have to be applied in any hospital. Detecting CARBase in the routine in any laboratory is difficult. it will be useful to standardize them detection to control the emergence.

Read the detailed description

The non-susceptibility of enterobacteriaceae isolates to carbapenem (CARBA) is an emerging concern with a high impact on infectious disease therapy because CARBA are often the alone antibiotics available to cure severe infections due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolates. Two mechanisms of resistance to CARBA have been identified: membrane impermeability associated with ESBL or cephalosporinase production and carbapenemase (CARBase) production. When CARBase production is suspected or proved, specific hygiene measures have to be applied in any hospital in order to avoid the dissemination of the CARBase-producing strain and insure patient safety. Prevalence rate of non-susceptible (NS) isolates to CARB, the proportion of the two types of mechanisms of resistance to CARB and the factors associated with CARB- NS isolates are still unknown in France. Moreover, detecting CARBase in the routine in any laboratory is difficult. Providing data regarding all of these points will be useful for any hospital and will permit to optimize the management of the patients suspected or proved to harbor a CARBase-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of CARB-NS isolates and among them the proportion of those producing CARBase.

    Determining the prevalence rate of CARB-NS isolates and among them the proportion of those producing CARBase for all enterobacterial species and for each species. CARBase production will be determined by using in a phenotypic algorithm previously established on the basis on commercialized tests and by molecular methods.

    Determining by using a prospective case-control-control study the factors associated with a clinical sample positive for a NS-CARB isolate by distinguishing isolates non-CARBase-producing and isolates CARBase-producing.This study will be carried out during one year in 18 hospitals across France whose laboratory will participate in the prevalence study. The variables independently associated with a clinical sample positive for either a NS-CARB, non-CARBase-producing isolate or a NS-CARB, CARBase-producing isolate will be determined in a multivariate analysis.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Detection of CARBase producing isolates as a measure of the diagnostic value of the phenotypic algorithm

    Assessing the diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value) of the phenotypic algorithm for the detection CARBase producing isolates by using the molecular methods as Gold standard method

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Impact of the use of the phenotypic algorithm on the management of the patients identified as carrier of NS-CARB isolate.

    Assessing the impact of the use of the phenotypic algorithm on the management of the patients identified as carrier of NS-CARB isolate (case) in the 18 hospitals : (i) time between the period at which the isolate is identified as NS-CARB and, on the one hand, knowledge acquisition by the Hygiene team and the medical staff of the presence of the case, and on the other hand, the period at which barrier precautions are implemented by distinguishing the type of barrier precautions implemented (standard or with dedicated non-medical staff) (ii) the duration of the implementation of barrier precaution with regard to the results concerning the production or the non-production of a CARBase by the NS-CARB isolate . The results of this study will be compared with the results obtained during a previous study in which the phenotypic algorithm had not been used.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Enterobacteria Non Susceptible to Carbapenem Carrier and Enterobacteria Susceptible to Carbapenem Carrier, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 28 Nov 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 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?

Rate of CARB-NS isolates and among them the proportion of those producing CARBase. (time frame: 1 year). 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 28 Nov 2016.
