About this study

Official title: The Effect of Colistin Inhalation on the Clinical Outcome of Patients With Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

The study has been conducted to measure the clinical outcome of early intervention with colistin inhalation in patients with ventilator associated pneumonia suspected to have multidrug resistant gram -ve bacteria

Being tested
Colistin, Carbapenem + Aminoglycoside/ Quinolone
Medical subject headings
Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated

What participants receive

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

  • ColistinDrug

    Also called Colomycin

    Polymyxins are bactericidal drugs that bind to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and phospholipids in the outer cell membrane of gram-negative bacteria.

  • Carbapenem + Aminoglycoside/ QuinoloneDrug

    Also called tienam,meropenem,levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin,amikacin,gentamicin

    Dual antipseudomonal given as IV for ventilator associated pneumonia for patients with Multi-drug resistant bacteria risk factors

Study groups in NCT03622450
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Medication armExperimentalColistin to be given as 2 millions three times daily in the inhalation form from 5 to 7 days in addition to another antipseudomonal antibiotic according to infectious disease society of antimicrobials (IDSA) guidelines from day 1 of incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia
Receives: Drug: Colistin
Control armActive comparatorPatients receive antipseudomonal antibiotics IV as carbapenem and quinolone or aminoglycoside according to IDSA guidelines from day 1 of incidence of Ventilator associated pneumonia carbapenem as 1g three times daily + tavanic 750mg once daily or ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily or aminoglycoside according to renal function
Receives: Drug: Carbapenem + Aminoglycoside/ Quinolone

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of Ventilatory status

    Pf ratio measurement

    Measured: 7 to 10 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Days of mechanical ventilation

    Deescalation in the ventilation mode and trials until successful weaning.

    Measured: 35 Days

  2. Time till the occurence of sepsis

    long standing ventilator associated pneumonia with failure of treatment can lead to sepsis

    Measured: 35 Days

  3. Mortality as an outcome of long stand untreatable ventilator associated pneumonia

    is the mortality due to sepsis of other causes

    Measured: 35 days

  4. Length of stay in the icu

    How long will the patient stay in the ICU according to failure of weaning and progression of the disease.

    Measured: 35 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Colistin and Carbapenem + Aminoglycoside/ Quinolone in people with Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, run by Nourhan Hassan Osama Thuraya Mohamed.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 9 Aug 2018. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Assessment of Ventilatory status (time frame: 7 to 10 days). 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 9 Aug 2018.
