Trial summary

Linezolid is the first of a new class of antibacterial drugs, the oxazolidinones. It has a specific inhibitory activity against Gram positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Dosage of 600 mg discontinuous administration twice a day was about studies in safety volunteers. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Population Pharmacokinetics of Linezolid in Intensive Care Units Patients Treated for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Infections

Linezolid is the first of a new class of antibacterial drugs, the oxazolidinones. It has a specific inhibitory activity against Gram positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Dosage of 600 mg discontinuous administration twice a day was about studies in safety volunteers. The intensive care units patients, with mechanical ventilation, and with severe sepsis, represent highly heterogeneous population responsible of hight variability in pharmacokinetics parameters (augmentation in total volume of distribution, modification in glomerular filtration) wich can lead to antibiotic inefficacy.

In a first time, this study describe the pharmacokinetics of Linezolid in intensive care units patients with severe MRSA infection. The aim of this study is to define and validate a population pharmacokinetic model including the influence of patients' characteristic on the pharmacokinetics of Linezolid.

Read the detailed description

The demographic, clinical and biological parameters are collected. Patients receive Linezolid as 600 mg twice a day during an administration of 60 minutes.

Blood sampling are collected on the second day after beginning of treatment at the following time : H1, H2, H3, H6 and H12.

The population pharmacokinétics analysis will be carried out using Monolix, a software for the analysis of nonlinear mixed effects models.

What is being measured

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

  1. The first objective of this study is to research the influence of patients' characteristic on the pharmacokinetics of Linezolid.

    The following demographic, clinical and biological parameters were collected as possible covariates: age, gender, bodyweight, height, etiology of incoming, mechanical ventilation, serum creatinine, proteins, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), leukocyte counts, haemoglobin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and simplified acute physiology scores (SAPS I and II).

    Measured: Blood sampling are collected on the second day after begining of treatment at the following time : H1, H2, H3, H6 and H12.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary outcome measure are the verification of the clinical and bactériological efficacies, and to look after the residual concentration

    Measured: At the 48th hours of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Linezolid in people with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus AureuS, run by University Hospital, Toulouse.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The first objective of this study is to research the influence of patients' characteristic on the pharmacokinetics of Linezolid. (time frame: Blood sampling are collected on the second day after begining of treatment at the following time : H1, H2, H3, H6 and H12.). 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 Oct 2012.
