About this study

Official title: Colistimethate and Colistin Pharmacokinetics in Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)

The blood concentration of the antibiotic colistin is determined in patients in whom kidney function is reduced such that a renal replacement therapy is needed.

Hypothesis:no dose reduction is needed in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy over 24h because colistin is sufficiently removed by this procedure.

Read the detailed description

After administration of intravenous Colistin multiple blood samples are drawn over one dosing interval on day 1, 3, and 5 of treatment.

Patients are monitored for signs of neuro- and nephrotoxicity

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve (AUC)

    Measured: predose, and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours after administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sings of neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity

    Clinical investigation daily by assessing clinical signs and questioning the patient regarding sign of neuropathy and difficulty breathing in non intubated patients. Questioning the treating physician in intubated patients regarding objective signs of increased ventilation support.

    Measured: Expected average of follow up is about 14 days.

  2. Sings of neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity

    Clinical investigation daily by assessing clinical signs and questioning the patient regarding sign of neuropathy and difficulty breathing in non intubated patients. Questioning the treating physician in intubated patients regarding objective signs of increased ventilation support. The patients will be followed for the duration of colistin administration at the dose studied.

    Measured: Expected average of follow up is about 14 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Colistin in people with Infection, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2014. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Natascia Corti, MD (044 255 20 78, natascia.corti@usz.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area under the curve (AUC) (time frame: predose, and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours after administration). 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 NCT02081560, 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 7 Mar 2014.
