About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Nephrotoxicity of Vancomycin in Combination With Piperacillin/Tazobactam or Other Beta-lactams in Critically Ill Patients: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study in China

The combination of vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam has been associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in non-critically ill patient populations, but it is still unknown if this association exists in critically ill patients. The objective of this study is to compare AKI and efficacy of vancomycin plus piperacillin-tazobactam or beta-lactams.

Read the detailed description

The combination of vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam has been associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in non-critically ill patient populations, but limited data regarding this association exists in critically ill patients. The objective of this study is to compare AKI and efficacy of vancomycin plus piperacillin-tazobactam or beta-lactams.

This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. Patients from the retrospective cohort will be divided into 2 groups based on the combination regimen received . Patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in our registry. As a non-intervention study, these information as below will be collected: basic demographics, diagnosis, concomitant nephrotoxic and other antibiotic medications, serum creatine levels, vancomycin concentrations, and indication for antibiotics.

Being tested
vancomycin plus piperacillin/tazobactam, vancomycin plus other beta-lactams

What participants receive

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

  • vancomycin plus piperacillin/tazobactamDrug

    Patients in intensive care unit who received the combination of VAN(vancomycin) and PTZ (piperacillin/tazobactam) for at least 48 hours, had a serum creatinine level measured in the 24-hour of hospital admission.The dosage and frequency of VAN and PTZ was adjusted based on clinical practice and patient characteristics.

  • vancomycin plus other beta-lactamsDrug

    Patients in intensive care unit who received the combination of VAN (vancomycin) and other beta-lactams (cefoperazone/sulbactam, meropenem, imipenem/siastatin, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, et al) for at least 48 hours, had a baseline serum creatinine (Scr) concentration value within 24 hours of hospital admission.The dosage and frequency of VAN and other beta-lactams were adjusted based on clinical practice and patient characteristics.

What is being measured

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

  1. AKI(acute kidney injury)

    the incidence of acute kidney injury

    Measured: from 24 hours after the start of the combination until discharge up to one month

  2. clinical efficacy

    microbial eradication

    Measured: from 24 hours after the start of the combination until discharge up to one month

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. the length of hospital stay

    Measured: from hospital admission to discharge up to one month

  2. duration of AKI

    Measured: the time from AKI onset to resolution of AKI up to one month

  3. onset of AKI

    Measured: the first occurence of AKI after starting concomitant antimicrobial use up to one month

  4. whether renal function return to baseline or not

    whether defined AKI was resoluted or not

    Measured: from AKI onset to resolution of defined AKI up to one month

  5. major acute kidney events at 30 days (MAKE30)

    MAKE30 is assessed 30 days following AKI diagnosis, which is a composite outcome of death, new dialysis, and worsened renal function.

    Measured: MAKE30 is assessed 30 days following AKI diagnosis

  6. vancomycin trough value assessment

    assess the impact of vancomycin exposures on development of AKI

    Measured: from hospital admission to discharge up to one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Illness, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 23 Jun 2020. 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?

AKI(acute kidney injury) (time frame: from 24 hours after the start of the combination until discharge up to one month). 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 23 Jun 2020.
