About this study

Official title: Tissue and Plasma Pharmacokinetics of Cefazolin in Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Bariatric Surgery, an Open Label, Prospective, Single Center Trial

With 6.5 million obese recorded in France in 2009, obesity is a major public health: it is a chronic disease associated with many respiratory, cardiac, metabolic, musculoskeletal complications. The risk of mortality and morbidity are directly proportional to the importance of overweight and medical treatment alone is only moderately effective weight loss. Bariatric surgery is the only treatment with proven efficacy in patients with a body mass index above 40 kg/m2. As with any surgery, there is a risk of surgical site infection (SSI). The SSI are the third most common nosocomial infection after urinary tract infections and airway. The fight against the ISO requires the administration of antibiotic prophylaxis acting on the main bacteria found in bariatric surgery. There are several studies in the literature interested in the dose of cefazolin in bariatric surgery. However, no published pharmacokinetic studies defines an optimal dose to obtain tissue and plasmatic concentrations of cefazolin higher than minimum inhibitory concentrations of the main germs encountered in these surgery. Only empirical recommendations are published, including the SFAR and the National Institute of Health in 2010. This study aims to determine whether the dose of 4 grams of cefazolin can achieve these goals of concentration and estimate an injection time of preoperative ideal for an adequate tissue concentration at the time of the incision.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CefazolineDrug

    Injection of CEFAZOLINE (4 grams) 30-60 min before skin incision. A second injection will performed every 4 hours during the surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Tissue concentration of cefazolin in the superficial subcutaneous fat during the surgical procedure

    Measured: At the time of incision (T0), 1 hour of operation (T1), and at the closure (T2)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Cefazolin tissue concentrations in fatty deep peri gastric tissue throughout the intervention

    Measured: At the time of incision (T0), 1 hour of operation (T1), and at the closure (T2)

  2. Kinetics of tissue concentrations of the superficial subcutaneous fat during surgery in patients with BMI < 50 and patients with BMI > 50

    Measured: At the time of incision (T0), 1 hour of operation (T1), and at the closure (T2)

  3. Kinetics of tissue concentrations of the deep fat peri gastric during surgery in patients with BMI < 50 and patients with BMI > 50

    Measured: At the time of incision (T0), 1 hour of operation (T1), and at the closure (T2)

  4. Kinetics of plasma concentrations during surgery in each group

    Measured: At the time of incision, at 15, 30, 60 minutes of operation, and at the closure

  5. Number of SSI following the surgery.

    Measured: Within 30 days post-surgery

  6. Area Under Curve (AUC) of cefazolin plasma kinetics for each group

    Measured: Surgical incision,15,30,60 minutes post-incision, surgical closure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cefazoline in people with Bariatric Surgery, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 19 Jul 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 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 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?

Tissue concentration of cefazolin in the superficial subcutaneous fat during the surgical procedure (time frame: At the time of incision (T0), 1 hour of operation (T1), and at the closure (T2)). 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 NCT01537380, 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 19 Jul 2017.
