About this study

Official title: Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Colistin-rifampin Combination and Colistin Monotherapy in Extensively Drug-resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii: Utility of the Synergy Test Results (E-test) in Vitro

The investigators aimed to confirm the utility of the synergy test results (E-tesT) in vitro to predict the efficacy and safety of colistin-rifampin combination and colistin monotherapy in extensively drug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii.

Read the detailed description

We will searched pneumonia patients with CoRAB in Gangnam Severance Hospital. Subjects will be enrolled and randomized in a blinded fashion using a computerized random number generator (permuted-block randomization) for treatment with colistin and rifampin combination and colistin only at a ratio of 1:1. We will perform the E-test MIC:MIC ratio method to predict in vitro synergy of colistin and rifampin combination therapy.

Being tested
colistin and rifampin combination therapy, colistin monotherapy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • colistin and rifampin combination therapyDrug

    Also called colistin/rifampin combination therapy

    Colistin (100 mg, colistin sodium methanesulfonate, SCD Pharm., Seoul, Korea) will be intravenously administered with 100 mL of normal saline with 8 hours interval. Rifampin (600 mg, rifampin, Yuhan, Seoul, Korea) will be orally administered daily. Treatment should be maintained daily administration for at least 7 days and up to 28 days. Duration of antibiotics treatment will be determined through discussion by pulmonology and infection specialist.

  • colistin monotherapyDrug

    . Colistin (100 mg, colistin sodium methanesulfonate, SCD Pharm., Seoul, Korea) will be intravenously administered with 100 mL of normal saline with 8 hours interval. Treatment should be maintained daily administration for at least 7 days and up to 28 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing colistin and rifampin combination therapy and colistin monotherapy in people with Colistin and Rifampin, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital.

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 9 Aug 2018. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

microbiologic response (time frame: 14 days). 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 NCT03622918, 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 9 Aug 2018.
