About this study
Effective antimicrobial use in the burn population is important since this population is at an increased risk for infections during their stay in hospital as a result of their burn injury. Tobramycin is an antibiotic that has activity against common burn wound associated pathogens, such as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, and its use is becoming increasingly relevant due to the increased incidence of bacterial resistance to currently utilized antibiotics. Once daily dosing of tobramycin has been safely and effectively used in the majority of infected patients for many years with the proposed benefits of optimized antibacterial activity and reduced nephrotoxicity compared to traditional dosing. But, the once daily dosing regimen has yet to be validated in the burn population. The purpose of this study is to validate the plausibility of once daily tobramycin dosing in the burn population with intent to determine a safe, effective, and efficient dosing regimen for this population.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Tobramycin in people with Burns and Infection, run by Sandra Walker at 1 site in Canada.
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 5 inclusion and 9 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 14 Dec 2015. 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 Canada. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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?
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?
Proportion of patients able to achieve therapeutic target (time frame: 24 hours). 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?
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 14 Dec 2015.
