Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ErtapenemExperimentalSubjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who undergo hemodialysis three times a week and without infection will be administered one gram of ertapenem once over five minutes through infusion access after a hemodialysis session, and will have blood drawn at time 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, and 12 hours after the ertapenem administration and once prior to the next hemodialysis session
Receives: Drug: Ertapenem

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Ertapenem in Hemodialysis Patients

    Mean Cmax will be calculated from a series of ertapenem concentration from the blood samples, i.e.once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

    Measured: once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

  2. Mean Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of Ertapenem in Hemodialysis Patients

    Mean Cmin will be calculated from a series of ertapenem concentration from the blood samples, i.e.once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

    Measured: once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

  3. Mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Ertapenem in Hemodialysis Patients

    Mean AUC will be calculated from a series of ertapenem concentration from the blood samples, i.e.once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

    Measured: once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

  4. Mean Terminal Half Life (t1/2) of Ertpenem in Hemodialysis Patients

    Mean t1/2 will be calculated from a series of ertapenem concentration from the blood samples, i.e.once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

    Measured: once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

  5. Mean Time to Cmax of Ertapenem in Hemodialysis Patients

    Mean time to Cmax will be calculated from a series of ertapenem concentration from the blood samples, i.e.once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

    Measured: once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Diarrhea

    Evaluation of diarrhea will be performed by the study physician at screening, predose, 24 hours, and 5 to 7 days after the ertapenem dose or the last day of patient's stay in the hospital

    Measured: Up to seven days after the administration of ertapenem

  2. Number of Participants With Nausea and Vomiting

    Evaluation of nausea and vomiting will be performed by the study physician at screening, predose, 24 hours, and 5 to 7 days after the ertapenem dose or the last day of patient's stay in the hospital

    Measured: Up to seven days after the administration of ertapenem

  3. Number of Participants With Headache

    Evaluation of headache will be performed by the study physician at screening, predose, 24 hours, and 5 to 7 days after the ertapenem dose or the last day of patient's stay in the hospital

    Measured: Up to seven days after the administration of ertapenem

  4. Number of Participants With Injection Site Reaction

    Evaluation of injection site reaction will be performed by the study physician at screening, predose, 24 hours, and 5 to 7 days after the ertapenem dose or the last day of patient's stay in the hospital

    Measured: Up to seven days after the administration of ertapenem

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ertapenem in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Corewell Health East 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 8 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 17 Oct 2018. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 15 Jun 2017). 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?

Mean Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Ertapenem in Hemodialysis Patients (time frame: once after hemodialysis session prior to ertapenem administration and at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 hours after the administration of one gram ertapenem over five minutes, and once before the next hemodialysis session). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02159859, 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 17 Oct 2018.
