About this study

Official title: Routinely Collected Clinical Data and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Target Attainment and the Potential Role of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in UK Infection Management

The primary aim of the study is to determine the proportion of individuals receiving beta-lactam antibiotics at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in whom drug concentration targets are achieved.

Read the detailed description

To address the challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) it is imperative that the current finite pool of antimicrobial agents is optimised, to maximise therapeutic success, limit the risk of drug toxicity, whilst minimising emergence of resistance.

Outside of the critical care setting it is not known how many patients are receiving optimal drug concentrations for the treatment of infection.

This study aims to assess whether antimicrobial targets are being achieved in these individuals and explore how clinical co-variates and outcomes may relate to this. Furthermore, it aims to identify priority groups and/or drugs where there are gaps in dose optimisation research and develop hypotheses which can be tested in observational studies.

Eligible participants will be enrolled and observed during their management of infection at Imperial College NHS Trust. After providing informed consent their clinical data will be collected from electronic healthcare records and they will provide samples that will undergo drug concentration analysis.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Find the number of individuals receiving co-administered non-beta-lactam antibiotics in whom drug concentration targets are achieved.

    Find the number of individuals receiving co-administered non-beta-lactam antibiotics in whom drug concentration targets are achieved.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Show how clinical co-variates, co-administered medications and treatment outcomes relate to target attainment, and identify groups of patients in who therapeutic drug monitoring may be beneficial.

  3. Illustrate dynamic patterns of infection-related biomarkers which may indicate the presence/absence of treatment response.

  4. Show how drug-levels obtained through minimally invasive sampling and the use of residual specimens relate to blood, and how these could be used to inform individual dose-optimisation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infections, Bacterial and Pharmacokinetics, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2024. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Suzy Williams (+44 (0) 20 3313 2732, suzanne.williams@imperial.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the number of individuals receiving beta-lactam antibiotics at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in whom drug concentration targets are achieved. (time frame: 3 years). 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 23 May 2024.
