About this study

The goal of this prospective interventional study is to evaluate the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis on bloodstream infections after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy. The main questions aims to answer are:

  • does application of vancomycine prior to ECMO liberation have an impact of bloodstream infections?

Participants will get 1 dose of vancomycine I.V. (15-20 mg per kgKG) prior to liberation of ECMO.

Researchers will compare this interventional group to a group without antibiotic prophylaxis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Growth of pathogens in blood culture

    Detection of pathogens / blood stream infection

    Measured: taken 72 hours after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

  2. Growth of pathogens in blood culture

    Detection of pathogens / blood stream infection

    Measured: taken directly before removal of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Growth of pathogens on cannula tip

    Detection of growth of pathogens on cannulas

    Measured: on the day of liberation, cannula tip will be send to institute of microbiology directly after liberation from ECMO

  2. laboratory parameters

    leukocytes, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein

    Measured: 6.00 am on the day of liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

  3. laboratory parameters

    leukocytes, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein

    Measured: 24 hours after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

  4. laboratory parameters

    leukocytes, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein

    Measured: 48 hours after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

  5. laboratory parameters

    leukocytes, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein

    Measured: 72 hours after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vancomycine in people with Catheter-Related Infections, run by Universität des Saarlandes at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 15 Dec 2022. 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 Germany. 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 Carsten Zeiner, MD (+49684116 ext. 21624, carsten.zeiner@uks.eu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Growth of pathogens in blood culture (time frame: taken 72 hours after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy). The study lists 2 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 15 Dec 2022.
