About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Prevalence of Fecal Carriage of Extended Spectrum bêta-lactamase Producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL) and Carbapenemase Producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Nursing Homes

CARBEHPAD is a multicentric randomized prevalence study aiming to assess the frequency of Enterobacteriaceae (ESLB) and carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) carriage in Pays de la Loire nursing homes.

A sample of 50 nursing homes (NH) in Pays de la Loire will be randomly selected for inclusion, and a sample of 1/3 of residents of these NH will be screened for ESBL and/or CPE fecal carriage. Epidemiological data on each resident will be collected to identify risk factors for such carriage.

Read the detailed description

The Pays de la Loire region is impacted by 2 main CPE outbreaks in the 2 major university hospitals in this region. A sample of 50 nursing homes (NH) in Pays de la Loire region (France) will be randomly selected for inclusion in CARBEHPAD study. NH directors will be contacted for agreement for inclusion in CARBEHPAD study. In each of the included NH, a sample of one third of residents will be randomly selected for inclusion. Upon agreement, each resident included will be screened through endorectal swabbing for ESBL and/or CPE carriage.

Epidemiological data will be collected for each resident regarding demographic data, risk factors for ESBL and/or CPE carriage, comorbidities. These data collected in the NH will be completed with data collection from national NH database regarding: previous hospitalization, treatments (including antibiotics), surgery.

Data on infection control and prevention will be collected in each NH to assess cross transmission of resistant bacteria in these settings.

Comparison of isolated strains will be performed to assess clonal dissemination of these resistant Enterobacteriaceae in NH. Data regarding infection control and prevention in each included NH will be collected aswell.

An ESBL/CPE carrier status has no impact on medical care in NH regarding French recommendations on management of such resistant microorganisms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Enterobacteriaceae Infections, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 16 Apr 2019. 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.

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?

carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) carriage (time frame: six months). 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 16 Apr 2019.
