Trial summary

Antibiotics are routinely used to prevent surgical wound infection. Vancomycin is a widely used antibiotic for surgery in patients with an allergy to penicillin. During cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and modified ultrafiltration (MUF) are routinely used and can lower the level of the antibiotic. Read more about this study

About this study

Antibiotics are routinely used to prevent surgical wound infection. Vancomycin is a widely used antibiotic for surgery in patients with an allergy to penicillin. During cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and modified ultrafiltration (MUF) are routinely used and can lower the level of the antibiotic. The purpose of this study is to quantify the change in plasma vancomycin concentration associated with cardiopulmonary bypass and modified ultrafiltration.

Read the detailed description

Subjects having cardiac surgery in which they will be on a heart-lung machine and will receive the antibiotic vancomycin, will be able to participate.

Up to ten blood samples testing for vancomycin concentrations will be collected in subjects administered vancomycin as prophylaxis before cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and modified ultrafiltration. Participation will be complete once the cardiac surgery has been finished.

What is being measured

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

  1. Circulating Vancomycin Concentration

    Blood samples to monitor the vancomycin concentration will be collected at several time points during surgery.

    Measured: Time points: pre CPB (t=1), post CPB at 5 (t=2), 30 (t=3), 60 (t=4), 108 (t=5), 240 (t=6) minutes, prior to ultrafiltration (t=7), end of ultrafiltration (t=8), ultrafiltrate (t=9) ,effluent of cell saver (t=10)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Vancomycin concentrations in people with Infection, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 6 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 13 Aug 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 21 Jul 2015). 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?

Circulating Vancomycin Concentration (time frame: Time points: pre CPB (t=1), post CPB at 5 (t=2), 30 (t=3), 60 (t=4), 108 (t=5), 240 (t=6) minutes, prior to ultrafiltration (t=7), end of ultrafiltration (t=8), ultrafiltrate (t=9) ,effluent of cell saver (t=10)). 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 13 Aug 2019.
