Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Critically ill patients receiving empirical antibiotic therapy for suspected or confirmed infections at the Intensive Care Unit

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 years or older.
  • Patient is admitted to an ICU and has an anticipated need of ICU support of at least 48 hours.
  • Patient has a suspected or confirmed bacterial infection (community-, healthcare-, hospital- or ICU-acquired).
  • Empirical antibiotic therapy is started for this infection at any time in the ICU or no more than 24 hours prior to ICU admission. If the initial antibiotic therapy is considered inadequate and another empirical scheme is chosen at ICU admission, this will be the empirical antibiotic of the study.
  • Causative pathogen and susceptibility are unidentified at time of initiation of the antibiotic therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Previous inclusion in this study for another infection - each patient can only be included once.

About this study

Official title: DetermInants of Antimicrobial Use aNd De-escalAtion in Critical Care (DIANA Study)

Appropriate initial antibiotic therapy is crucial in the treatment of severe infections in patients with intensive care. Adequate spectrum and appropriate doses are the keys to achieving the therapeutic goal. Despite broad consensus on the spectrum and timing of antimicrobial therapy, antibiotic use varies according to various parameters including choice, dose, method of administration, duration of antibiotic therapy and de-escalation. an empirical attitude.

Therapeutic de-escalation is considered essential for the use of antibiotics and is now clearly established by different consensus. However, routine de-escalation has recently been questioned in a randomized, controlled study that did not demonstrate non-inferiority of de-escalation with an increase in the number of days of antibiotic therapy associated with an increased number of days. superinfection.

The components of the de-escalation described in the literature, are based on the reduction of the number of antibiotics, the strict observance of the spectrum of the antibiotic, the reduction of use of the antibiotic, the stopping of any inappropriate antibiotic treatment ( lack of in vitro activity).

De-escalation can be considered in different ways; there are significant variations between hospitals, countries, teams. A large European multicenter cohort is needed.

The main objective of this study is to describe empiric antibiotic therapy in intensive care and the modalities of de-escalation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Emergencies, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2018. 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?

Contact MARC LEONE (+33 491368655, Marc.LEONE@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Antibiotic used (time frame: 28 days). 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 10 Sep 2018.
