About this study

Official title: A Phase IV Open-Label Pharmacokinetic Study of Minocycline for Injection Following a Single Infusion in Critically-Ill Adults (ACUMIN)

This is a Phase IV, multi-center open-label pharmacokinetic trial studying the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of Minocin IV. Up to 67 subjects will be enrolled to obtain 50 evaluable, ICU patients who are already receiving antimicrobial therapy for a known or suspected Gram-negative infection. The entire study duration will be approximately 16 months and each subject participation duration will be approximately 2 days. The study will be conducted at approximately 13 clinical sites. Each subject will receive a single 200 mg dose of Minocin IV infused over approximately 60 minutes. Each subject will have 7 PK samples collected (1 pre-dose, 6 post-dose) at designated time points over a ~48 hour period following the start of the Minocin IV infusion. The primary objectives are: 1) To characterize minocycline PK at the population level in critically-ill adults, with illness known or suspected to be caused by infection with Gram-negative bacteria and 2) To assess patient-level and clinical covariates associated with minocycline pharmacokinetic properties in critically-ill adults, with illness known or suspected to be caused by infection with Gram-negative bacteria.

Each subject will have 7 PK samples collected (1 pre-dose, 6 post-dose) at designated time points over a ~48 hour period following the start of the Minocin IV infusion. The primary objectives are: 1) To characterize minocycline PK at the population level in critically-ill adults, with illness known or suspected to be caused by infection with Gram-negative bacteria and 2) To assess patient-level and clinical covariates associated with minocycline pharmacokinetic properties in critically-ill adults, with illness known or suspected to be caused by infection with Gram-negative bacteria. Up to 67 subjects will be enrolled in order to obtain 50 PK evaluable subjects in the study. To be considered PK evaluable, a subject must receive the full infusion of study drug, and is required to have at least 3 PK samples collected in the first 12 hours post dose and at least 1 PK sample collected 24-48 hours post dose. Subjects who are dosed with minocycline but do not meet this PK sampling requirement will still be included in the population PK analysis, but an additional subject will be enrolled as a replacement to meet the goal of having 50 PK evaluable subjects with intensive PK sampling.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Minocycline in people with Bacterial Infection, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 15 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 3 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Calculated Exposure Measures for Area Under the Curve 0 to 24 Hours After a Dose (AUC0-24) (time frame: Pre-dose, immediately after infusion termination (~1 hour) and at 4, 12, and 24 hours post dose). The study lists 22 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 3 Dec 2020.
