About this study

Official title: Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Study of Piperacillin/Tazobactam During Early Phase in Critically Ill Patients With Severe Sepsis

This is prospective study to assess the pharmacodynamics (t>MIC) of 4.5 g every 6 h of piperacillin/tazobactam in patients with early phase of severe sepsis/septic shock following administration by a 30 min infusion.

Clinical and laboratory data such as age, sex, body weight, electrolyte, vital signs, APACHAE II score, BUN, Cr and fluid balance will be collected.

Fifty patients will be enrolled in this study. Piperacillin pharmacokinetic study will be carried out during the piperacillin/tazobactam therapy.

Each patient received 4.5 g every 6 h of piperacillin/tazobactam within 24 h of severe sepsis or septic shock, blood samples (approximately 3 ml) will be obtained by direct venipuncture at the following time: 0, 0-0.5, 0.5-2, 2-4 and 4-6 h after piperacillin/tazobactam therapy.

Concentration of piperacillin in plasma will be simulated in Monte Carlo technique to get PK/PD index and reported to % PTA and % CFR.

What participants receive

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

  • Piperacillin-tazobactamDrug

    4.5 g of piperacillin/tazobactam in 100 ml of normal saline solution was administered via an infusion pump at a constant flow rate 30 min every 6 h and blood sample were obtained by direct venepuncture at 0, 0-0.5, 0.5-2, 2-4 and 4-6 hour after drug administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentration of piperacillin in plasma

    Concentration of piperacillin in plasma will be simulated in Monte Carlo simulation to assess PK/PD index as 40% and 100% T>MIC and will be reported as %PTA.

    Measured: 6 hour after the piperacillin dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Piperacillin-tazobactam in people with Early Phase of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock, run by Sutep Jaruratanasirikul at 1 site in Thailand.

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 4 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 20 Sep 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 Thailand. 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?

Concentration of piperacillin in plasma (time frame: 6 hour after the piperacillin dose). 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 20 Sep 2017.
