About this study

Official title: The Analysis of Factors Influencing the Apparent Volume of Distribution of Imipenem in Septic Shock Patients

The study measures the plasma concentrations of imipenem in septic shock patients and non-septic shock patients and observes hypoalbuminemia and the impact of the severity of critical illness on Vd

Read the detailed description

Severe sepsis and septic shock are major causes of mortality in intensive care unit(ICU) patients.Correct and adequate antibiotic coverage is essential but can be complex as a result of fluid resuscitation, hypoalbuminemia, organ dysfunction, the application of extracorporeal support modalities and the impact of critical illness on pharmacokinetics(PK).Such changes will significantly distort the normal anti-biotic PK profile, resulting in drug exposure that is markedly different from the 'healthy volunteer.'The apparent volume of distribution is one of important PK parameters.Vd determines the loading dose. This review article considers these issues in detail, summarizing the key changes in antibiotic Vd in the critically ill, and providing general suggestions how to optimization of antibiotic dosing to manage Vd challenges.50 patients who receives the theapy of imipenem are included in this study.Whether hypoalbuminemia, organ dysfunction, the application of extracorporeal support modalities and the impact of critical illness on Vd will be evaluted.

What is being measured

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

  1. the apparent volume of distribution

    The imipenem plasma concentrations are measured at different time to calculate Vd

    Measured: Day1, Day 3, Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Septic Shock, run by Southeast University, China at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 5 Jan 2021. 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 China. 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.

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?

the apparent volume of distribution (time frame: Day1, Day 3, Day 7). 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 NCT03308214, 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 5 Jan 2021.
