Trial summary

Gentamicin and vancomycin, widely used in neonatology, are antibiotics with a narrow therapeutic index and a risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. For these drugs, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is required, to optimize the efficacy and tolerance of these antibiotics. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Gentamicin and Vancomycin, in Neonates, Using Dried Blood Spot Sampling.

Gentamicin and vancomycin, widely used in neonatology, are antibiotics with a narrow therapeutic index and a risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. For these drugs, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is required, to optimize the efficacy and tolerance of these antibiotics.

In newborns, the TDM of these antibiotics is really available, because of physiological features, such as renal elimination and hepatic metabolism which are both very dependent on age and maturation. Thus, in newborn, there is a large interindividual variability of pharmacokinetic parameters, making the dosage adjustment of antibiotics very difficult.

Unfortunately, because of a limited blood mass, the TDM of these antibiotics is very rarely practiced in these children. The introduction of a Died blood spot (DBS), which uses only a single drop of blood (<50 μL) preserved in dried form, thus makes it possible to reduce the blood volume taken and avoid the venous intrusion. The dosage needs the use of liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS), the only sensitive technique to work with such a low blood volume.

We therefore wish to develop this approach coupling DBS and LC-MSMS, in neonatology, to evaluate the concentration of these nephrotoxic antibiotics (gentamicin and vancomycin), as TDM. The blood concentrations of the antibiotic, per 100 new-born term or premature (50 gentamicin, 50 vancomycin), are compared to the physiological state of the child (premature or not, intrauterine growth retardation or not), its hemodynamic status (shock or not) and its efficacy / toxicity, evaluated by the clinician using a questionnaire.

The use of this new sampling method, as an alternative to conventional blood sampling, makes it possible to better monitor the concentrations of gentamicin and vancomycin in neonatalogy, thus reducing the risk of toxicity of these antibiotics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Sample for Routine Care and Term or Premature Newborns (28 to 44 Amenorrhea Weeks), run by University Hospital, Caen 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 4 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sampling time for vancomycin concentration (time frame: Day 3). 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 29 Aug 2018.
