Suspected Infection With Vancomycin Susceptible Bacterial StrainsPK-VANCO-ICUNCT02844192

Pharmacokinetics of Vancomycin in ICU Patients

An observational study of Suspected Infection With Vancomycin Susceptible Bacterial Strains, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Vancomycin is frequently under-dosed in ICU patients during the first 24-48 hours of treatment. Glomerular hyperfiltration syndrome, increased drug volume of distribution, vasopressor use, male sex and hypoalbuminemia are identified risk factor for vancomycin underdosing in ICU patients, among others.

About this study

Vancomycin is frequently under-dosed in ICU patients during the first 24-48 hours of treatment. Glomerular hyperfiltration syndrome, increased drug volume of distribution, vasopressor use, male sex and hypoalbuminemia are identified risk factor for vancomycin underdosing in ICU patients, among others.

To date, bedside estimation of vancomycin volume of distribution is challenging, and new methods for optimizing drug administration are required.

The Picco device is a moderately invasive hemodynamic monitoring system, providing parameters that may help estimation of vancomycin pharmacokinetics parameter.

The aim of this study is to test whether addition of hemodynamic parameters would improve pharmacokinetics modelling of vancomycin concentration in ICU patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Akaike information criterion as a measurement of goodness of fit of pharmacokinetic modeling of vancomycin serum concentration

    All available vancomycin measurements during the first week of treatment will be included in the pharmacokinetics model.

    All vancomycin dosages up to seven days of treatment will be used in a population pharmacokinetic model and an individual pharmacokinetic model

    Measured: week 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of patients with under-dosage of vancomycin at day 2 of treatment

    under-dosage of vancomycin is defined by a vancomycin serum concentration below 15 mg/l on day 2 of treatment.

    Measured: day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Suspected Infection With Vancomycin Susceptible Bacterial Strains, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 26 Jul 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Akaike information criterion as a measurement of goodness of fit of pharmacokinetic modeling of vancomycin serum concentration (time frame: week 1). 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 26 Jul 2016.
