About this study

Official title: A Pilot Pharmacokinetic Study of Antibiotics in Patients Assisted by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Intensive Care Unit

The PHARMECMO study is a pilot, prospective, pharmacokinetic study, conducted in a cardiac surgery intensive care unit of 18 beds. Optimization of antibiotic therapy for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients remains a pharmacological challenge. Clinical studies suggest that individualized dosing strategies and therapeutic drug monitoring could facilitate the achievement of adequate antibiotic concentration. The objective of this pilot study was to observe the pharmacokinetic characteristics of commonly used antibiotics in intensive care for patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

What participants receive

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

  • Antibiotic plasma dosageOther

    Measurement of the concentration of antibiotics administered as part of the routine care of intensive care patients

Study groups in NCT03131063
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Septic patient under ECMO treatmentEvery adult patient admitted to ICU, under ECMO treatment, with known or suspected sepsis and receiving antibiotic therapy, was eligible for inclusion. The concentration of the studied antibiotics was determined by a combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry from blood samples. For intermittent administration of antibiotic, two successive samples were performed both at 50% (Cmax) and 100% (Cmin) of the dosing interval.
Receives: Other: Antibiotic plasma dosage

What is being measured

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

  1. Minimum Antibiotics plasma concentration (Cmin) (C min)

    Dosage under steady state conditions of every antibiotics plasma concentration just before the next administration in patients with sepsis and treated by ECMO

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  2. Medium Antibiotics plasma concentration (CT 50)

    Dosage under steady state conditions of every antibiotic plasma concentration in the middle of the interval between two administration (CT 50) in patients with sepsis and treated by ECMO

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Sepsis, run by Groupe Hospitalier Pitie-Salpetriere.

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 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 27 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Minimum Antibiotics plasma concentration (Cmin) (C min) (time frame: Up to 24 hours). 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?
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 27 Apr 2017.
