About this study

The purpose of this study is to analyze the PK/PD of AvyCaz in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (12). This study will include medical and post-surgical patients who develop an infection where Avycaz can be utilized. Since these patients will have variable PK parameters, the investigators will also analyze (time-kill) these serum concentrations (ex vivo) against relevant clinical isolates (e.g. GNR with ESBL or KPC) from the ICU to determine microbiologic activity of Avycaz in critically ill patients with variable characteristics. Monte-Carlo simulations will also be conducted against clinical ICU isolates (JMI labs) to help determine appropriate dosing schedules based upon these PK parameters.

  2. Mean (SD) Ceftazadime/Avibactam Pharmacokinetic Half Life Parameter in Intensive Care Patients

    Measured: 2,4,6, 8 hours after receiving the drug

  3. Mean (SD) Ceftazadime/Avibactam Pharmacokinetic Clearance of Drug Parameter in Intensive Care Patients

    Measured: 2,4,6, 8 hours after receiving the drug

  4. Mean (SD) Ceftazadime/Avibactam Pharmacokinetic Area Under Serum Curve (mg*h/L) Parameter in Intensive Care Patients

    Measured: 2,4,6, 8 hours after receiving the drug

  5. Mean (SD) Ceftazadime/Avibactam Pharmacokinetic (PK) Maximum Serum Concentration in Intensive Care Patients

    Measured: 2,4,6, 8 hours after receiving the drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ceftazidime/avibactam in people with Pharmacokinetics of Avycaz in ICU Patients, run by Michigan State University.

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 4 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 6 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean (SD) Ceftazadime/Avibactam Pharmacokinetic (PK) Volume of Distribution Parameter in Intensive Care Patients (time frame: 2,4,6, 8 hours after receiving the drug). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Mar 2019.
