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 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Screening of patients with multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections and ventilator-associated pneumonia admitted to the Intensive Care Department of Affiliated Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University. Based on the medical decisions of clinical physicians, they received intravenous administration of polymyxin B alone and intravenous combination nebulization of polymyxin B. Patients were divided into two groups according to the actual treatment methods of polymyxin B.

  • 18-80 years old;
  • ICU patients;
  • Patients with MDR-infected VAP were diagnosed by etiological culture results;
  • Expect to receive at least 6 doses (3 days) of polymyxin B;
  • Obtain informed consent;

Who cannot join

  • The patient has a history of severe hypersensitivity to polymyxin B;
  • Patients cannot tolerate alveolar lavage;
  • Oncology patients,includes hematologic malignancies;
  • Pregnant or lactating women;

About this study

The goal of this observational study is to investigate whether intravenous polymyxin B combined with nebulisation achieves better antimicrobial efficacy and clinical outcomes than intravenous use alone in patients with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli infected with ventilator-associated pneumonia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • When using intravenous polymyxin B to treat patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria in clinical practice, is it necessary to assist with polymyxin B nebulization therapy?
  • If necessary, how much dose of nebulization is better? Participants will be divided into two groups based on whether they have received nebulization treatment with polymyxin B in clinical practice. Blood and alveolar lavage fluid samples will be collected after the first dose injection and reaching the steady-state dose, and the drug concentration differences in blood and ELF will be measured in patients who have received intravenous injection of polymyxin B alone and those who have received adjuvant nebulization of polymyxin B, as well as differences in clinical outcomes and side effects.

Researchers will compare the differences in blood and ELF drug concentrations, clinical outcomes, and incidence of side effects between two groups of patients, to see if is it necessary to assist with polymyxin B nebulization therapy in patients with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli infected with ventilator-associated pneumonia.

What participants receive

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

  • nebulized polymyxin BDrug

    The experimental group received intravenous combined nebulization of polymyxin B

Study groups in NCT06076603
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intravenous combined with nebulized polymyxin BThe intravenous combined nebulization patient group was divided into two subgroups based on the different doses received -25mg q12h and 50mg q12h. Patients in the intravenous combination nebulized polymyxin B group received a total medication dose of 1.25 to 1.5mg/kg, of which 25-50mg was used for nebulization and the remaining portion was used for intravenous administration. The specific method of nebulization is to receive nebulized bronchodilator 30 minutes before nebulization, add 25-50mg of polymyxin B to 5ml of physiological saline for dilution, use a vibrating mesh nebulizer to connect to the patient's ventilator pipeline suction tube, do not change the original ventilator parameter settings, and continue nebulization for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, regardless of whether there is any residue of the nebulized drug, it will be discarded according to general nursing methods.
Receives: Drug: nebulized polymyxin B
Intravenous polymyxin group BThis group of patients received intravenous injection of polymyxin B alone, with intravenous doses of 1.25-1.5mg/kg of polymyxin B administered every 12 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood concentration

    Blood concentration

    Measured: 3 days after the end of the patient's first medication use

  2. ELF concentration

    Drug concentration in ELF solution

    Measured: 3 days after the end of the patient's first medication use

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. 28-day clinical cure rate

    the proportion of subjects who are thought as clinical effectiveness 28 days after treatment with polymyxin B to the number of subjects in each group.

    Measured: 28 days after the end of the patient's medication

  2. 28-day microbiological cure rate

    the proportion of subjects of microbiological cure to the number of subjects in each group 28 days after treatment with polymyxin B.

    Measured: 28 days after the end of the patient's medication

  3. 28-day adverse reaction rate

    the proportion of subjects who experienced adverse reactions within 28 days after treatment with polymyxin B to the number of subjects in each group

    Measured: 28 days after the end of the patient's medication

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polymyxin B and Ventilator-associated Pneumonia, run by Southeast University, China at 1 site in China.

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 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 11 Oct 2023. 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 China. 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 Yingzi Huang, MD (+86-025-83262552, yz_huang@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blood concentration (time frame: 3 days after the end of the patient's first medication use). 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 11 Oct 2023.
