About this study

Official title: A Randomized Open Label Study Evaluating the Role of Oral Antibiotics in an Aim to Eradicate Carrier State of Carbapenem- Resistant Klebsiella Pneumonia (KPC).

Klebsiella pneumonia, inhabitant of the digestive tract, is a frequent nosocomial pathogen. It is currently the fourth most common cause of pneumonia and fifth most common cause of bacteremia in intensive care patients (1-3).

The aim of the present randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of non-absorbable oral antibiotics in the eradication of the KPC carrier state.

Being tested
Colistin (Polymyxin E) 100mg x 4/d, both medications, will not receive PO treatment, PO Garamycin 80mg x 4/d
Keywords

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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 specific measure that will be used to determine the effect of the intervention(s): eradication rate (%). (time frame: twice a week). 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 NCT01266499, which also lists 1 linked publication.
