Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (≥ 18 years)
  • Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures
  • Female patients of childbearing potential may be entered if pregnancy testing is negative and the patient agrees to abstain from procreational sexual intercourse or must use double-barrier contraceptive measures for the duration of the study
  • Presence of an indwelling external cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) access device (ventriculostomy or lumbar drain)
  • Presence of inflamed meninges as a result of documented or suspected meningitis or ventriculitis. Patients with both clinical symptoms (fever, headache, meningismus, and altered mentation) and laboratory parameters (CSF leukocytosis, defined as a CSF white blood cell count [WBC] of >10 3, elevated CSF protein, defined as CSF protein of >1g/l, reduced CSF glucose, defined as CSF glucose of <0.3g/l, or a positive CSF Gram stain or culture) indicative of CNS infection were deemed to have definitive bacterial meningitis/ventriculitis. Inflamed meninges were defined as the presence of >5 leukocytes/mm3 of CSF.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has documented history of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction (urticaria, angiooedema, anaphylaxis, desquamative rash) to any β-lactam antimicrobial including cephalosporins (contraindication to cephalosporins)
  • Patient is pregnant or lactating and intends to continue breastfeeding
  • Severe renal insufficiency defined as creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min.
  • Patients with conditions known or suspected to alter pharmacokinetics (i.e., burn or cystic fibrosis patients)
  • Refusal to participate
  • Person not affiliated with the social security

About this study

Official title: Open and Exploratory Trial to Investigate the Pharmacokinetic of Ceftaroline in Patients With CSF Device

Ceftaroline is a piece of new cephalosporin very active on resistant staphylococci in methicillin (SEMR: Staphylococcus Epidermidis Resistant in Methicillin, SMAR: Staphylococcus Aureus Resistant in Methicillin)and/or in vancomycin ; Ceftaroline is also very active on pneumococci resistant in penicillin and/or 3rd generation of cephalosporins.

Ceftaroline was approved by the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections and community-acquired pneumonia.

Scientific literature describes a good efficiency in septicemy and/or SAMR endocarditis.

Besides, a study on animal shows the efficiency of ceftaroline in meningeal infections with gram-negative Bacilli.

The rationale of this study is based on the antibacterial spectra of ceftaroline that could be used for the antibacterial treatment (curative and prophylactic) of CSF shunt associated infections.

To validate this hypothesis, it is necessary to evaluate the concentration of ceftaroline in meningeal compartment after treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ceftaroline fosamil in people with Meningitis and Ventriculitis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 6 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 21 Feb 2024. 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 France. 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 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.

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?

Ceftaroline serum concentration (time frame: before infusion, at 0.5h, 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h after infusion). The study lists 2 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 NCT02806882, 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 21 Feb 2024.
