About this study

Official title: Konzentrationen Von Ertapenem in Kolorektalem Gewebe

The purpose of this study is to determine the tissue kinetics of ertapenem in colonic tissue from three hours up to six hours (25% of dosing interval) after administration of ertapenem.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the tissue kinetics of ertapenem in colorectal tissue from three hours up to six hours (25% of dosing interval) after administration of ertapenem before an elective surgical intervention (open or laparoscopic surgery) at the colon/rectum. Subjects are patients. Hospitalized patients 18 years or older requiring elective surgical intervention (open or laparoscopic surgery) at the colon will be eligible for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentration of Ertapenem in Colorectal Tissue in mg/kg 3 to 6 Hours After a Single Dose of 1 Gram Ertapenem I.V..

    Measured: 3 to 6 hours after a single dose of 1 gram ertapenem I.V..

  2. Tissue (Total) Concentrations of Ertapenem in the Colorectal Tissue

    The mean (+- SD) tissuetotal concentrations of ertapenem in the colorectal tissue every 30 minutes up to 10 hours

    Measured: The mean (+- SD) tissuetotal concentrations of ertapenem in the colorectal tissue as an average of every 30 miuntes up to 10 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety Assessment

    Measured: 0 to approx. 14 days after admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ertapenem in people with Diverticulosis, Colonic and Rectal Neoplasms, run by University of Ulm 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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2017. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Dec 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Concentration of Ertapenem in Colorectal Tissue in mg/kg 3 to 6 Hours After a Single Dose of 1 Gram Ertapenem I.V.. (time frame: 3 to 6 hours after a single dose of 1 gram ertapenem I.V..). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00535652, 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 10 Feb 2017.
