About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Study of Relationships Between Loading Regimen,Serum Trough Concentrations,Efficacy and Safety in Pneumonia Patients With Gram-positive Infections Treated With Teicoplanin

This was a retrospective study that all teicoplanin-treated adult patients with Gram-positive infections admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from February 2015 to August 2016.

Read the detailed description
  1. Patients and protocol This was a retrospective study that all teicoplanin-treated adult patients with Gram-positive infections admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from February 2015 to August 2016. Patients were included who met the following criteria: (1) age≥18 years, (2) duration of teicoplanin therapy≥5 days, (3) written informed consent was obtained from each patients. Patients were excluded who fulfilled any of the following criteria: (1) Patients who were allergy to teicoplanin, (2) pregnant women, (3) patients with hematopoietic function, (4) patients unable to evaluate efficacy and safety. This study was approved by the research ethics committee of the Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University.
  2. Treatment regimen and groups According to CLcr and teicoplanin loading dose regimen, all patients were divided into four groups. Group A (CLcr≥60mL/min) : Teicoplanin was intravenously administered 3 times for moderate infections (skin, soft tissue and respiratory infections) or 6 times for severe infections(endocarditis caused by MRSA or severe pneumonia) at the loading dose of 400 mg at 12h intervals, followed by maintenance dosing 400 mg/d. Group B (40 mL/min≤CLcr<60mL/min) : Teicoplanin was intravenously administered 3 times at the loading dose of 400 mg at 12h intervals, followed by maintenance dosing 400 mg/d. Group C (CLcr<40mL/min) : Teicoplanin was intravenously administered 2 times at the loading dose of 400 mg at 12h intervals, followed by maintenance dosing 200 mg/d. Group D (standard regimen) : Teicoplanin was intravenously administered 1-3 times at the loading dose of 400 mg at 12h intervals, followed by maintenance dosing 200 mg/d. The maintenance dosing was adjusted by Cmin and CLcr in all groups. The target Cmin was set to 15~30 mg/L. If Cmin<15 mg/L or >30 mg/L, the maintenance dosage was increased or decreased appropriately up to target Cmin range. CLcr values for male and female were calculated based on the following equations, respectively.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    If treatment failure for patients in group A,group B,group C and group D,change dose of teicoplanin or other antibacterial agents. Mechanical ventilation was adopte.Treatment failure was defined as no improvement or worse of clinical symptoms, laboratory data, requiring change of teicoplanin therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum teicoplanin trough concentrations

    Teicoplanin trough samples were taken immediately 30 minutes before teicoplanin administration on the fourth day. Blood samples for 2-3 mL were collected in blood-collection tubes without any additives and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10min. Serum teicoplanin trough concentrations (Cmin) were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography method as previously described. The detections were completed in Translational Medicine Center of Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University.

    Measured: 0.5 hour before teicoplanin administration on the fourth day

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. White blood cell count (WBC)

    It was completed before initiation and after completion of teicoplanin therapy in Zhengzhou city clinical inspection center.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. C-reaction protein (CRP)

    It was completed before initiation and after completion of teicoplanin therapy in Zhengzhou city clinical inspection center.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Asparttate aminotransferase (AST)

    It is an indicator of liver function.It was completed before initiation and after completion of teicoplanin therapy in Zhengzhou city clinical inspection center.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumonia Gram-Positive Bacterial, run by People's Hospital of Zhengzhou 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2017. 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.

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?

Serum teicoplanin trough concentrations (time frame: 0.5 hour before teicoplanin administration on the fourth day). 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 25 Jul 2017.
