About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics Variability of Ceftriaxone in Septic ICU Patients

Ceftriaxone pharmacokinetics variability in intensive care unit septic patients

In intensive care units, drug dosage is often based on study made on healthy volunteers or on less severe patients.

Read more

However, pharmacokinetic alterations have been described for some drugs used in intensive care units.

These alterations, consequences of alteration of volume of distribution, of protein concentrations, of impaired hepatic and renal functions can result in accumulation with toxicity or " under dosage " with inefficacity.

Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic often prescribed in intensive care unit. However, despite this large utilisation, very few data is available on the pharmacokinetic in intensive care unit, and optimal dosage is not known.

Our objective is to develop a population pharmacokinetics model of ceftriaxone in intensive care unit patients with sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock and to identify the " data " explaining interindividual variability of each pharmacokinetics parameter.

Read the detailed description

This is a one centre population pharmacokinetics non interventional study. One group of 50 patients allows the development of the model and a second group of 20 patients will be used for the validation of the model.

Septic patients treated with ceftriaxone according to standard procedure of our ICU could be included before the second administration of the drug. In the development group, patients will underwent five determination of serum concentration of ceftriaxone during the 24 hours following the second administration. The timing of samples will be randomised in three groups. A second phase of sampling will take place during the fifth day of ceftriaxone therapy for sepsis and severe sepsis patients and after 48 hours catecholamine- free for septic shock patients.

For the validation group, ten samples will be obtained at the same periods. This study will not induce any change in the care of patients.

Samples will be centrifugated immediately after collection and conserved at - 20 °C.

Ceftriaxone will be assayed in the department of pharmacology, university of Marseille France, usig HPLC method.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ceftriaxone in people with Sepsis and Severe Sepsis, run by Association Pour La Promotion A Tours De La Reanimation Medicale 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2007. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 DENIS GAROT, MD (+33 2 47 47 38 55, garot@med.univ-tours.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

serum drug concentration. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00449800, 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 21 Mar 2007.
