About this study

The surgical site infection is one of the most important causes of postoperative morbidity. The appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis is one of the most effective ways to prevent surgical site infections. The recommendations of the French Society of Anesthesia Resuscitation on antibiotic prophylaxis in long surgeries are based on low documentation, including frequency and dosage of reinjection.

The main objective of the study is to describe the tissue and plasma pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin after repeated injections.

This is an open monocentric study (phase 4) including adults aged 18 to 80 years in need of major abdominal surgery whose foreseeable time exceeds 4 hours and justifying an antibiotic prophylaxis by cefoxitin.

They receive 2 g cefoxitin parenterally at least 30 minutes before the incision and then every 2 hours until closing.

The primary endpoints are:

  • Total and plasma free concentrations of cefoxitin 0, 10, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes after start of each infusion cefoxitin
  • Tissue free concentrations of cefoxitin every 20 minutes after the start of the first infusion cefoxitin until skin closure
  • Urinary concentrations of cefoxitin

  • cefoxitinDrug

    Parenteral administration of 2g of cefoxitin at least 30 minutes before incision and then every 2 hours until closing

What is being measured

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

  1. Total and free plasma of cefoxitin after repeated injections

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Free tissue concentration of cefoxitin every 20 minutes after the beginning of injections

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Concentration of cefoxitin in urine after every injection

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage of time when tissue concentration of cefoxitin is higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration of target organisms

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Concentrations of antibiotic in peritoneal fluid

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Clearance of distribution of cefoxitin

    Measured: 48 hours

  4. Clearance of elimination of cefoxitin

    Measured: 48 hours

  5. Cmax of Cefoxitin

    Measured: 48 hours

  6. Vd of distribution o cefoxitin

    Measured: 48 hours

  7. Area under the curve of plasma and tissue concentration of cefoxitin

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing cefoxitin in people with Antibiotic Prophylaxis Surgery, run by Poitiers University Hospital 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2017. 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.

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?

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?

Total and free plasma of cefoxitin after repeated injections (time frame: 48 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02703857, 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 12 Jun 2017.
