What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate safety of high dose Colistin

    Evaluate the safety of high dose Colistin to treat MDRO infection in critically ill patients.

    The safety of high dose Colistin will be determined by number of participants whom renal function will be deviated from the baseline after administering high dose of Colistin.

    Measured: 7 to 21 days after giving Colistin

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. All cause mortality

    Measured: 7 days after the end of therapy or at 28 days after enrollment

  2. Ventilation free days

    Measured: 28 days after enrollment

  3. Length of ICU stay

    Measured: 28 days after enrollment

  4. Microbiological response

    whole body cultures will be done at day 7 of treatment and at the end of therapy

    Measured: A day 7 and at the end of therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing High Dose Colistin and Standard Dose Colistin in people with Infectious Diseases, run by King Saud Medical City at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 4 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 1 Apr 2015. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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 Ahmed F Mady, PhD (00966547060770, afmady@ksmc.med.sa), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate safety of high dose Colistin (time frame: 7 to 21 days after giving Colistin). 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 1 Apr 2015.
