About this study

Goal of study:

To assess the tissular and plasma kinetics of ertapenem;

To determine the optimal dosages in the patients according to norepinephrine administration:

  • to assess muscular diffusion of free form of ertapenem after administration to mechanically ventilated patients requiring such a treatment. The patients are included in the groups "with norepinephrine" or "without norepinephrine" according to their hemodynamic status.
  • to assess the plasma pharmacokinetics of ertapenem in mechanically ventilated patients treated or not by norepinephrine.

Open-label, prospective study performed in a single ICU (16 beds) of a tertiary hospital (700 beds).

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ertapenem in people with To Assess the Tissular and Plasma Kinetics of Ertapenem, 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 4 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2014. 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

assess the tissular and plasma kinetics of ertapenem (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT00489138, 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 25 Feb 2014.
