What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma concentration: piperacillin-tazobactam

    Drug levels will be checked at baseline followed by additional measurements after the dose based on the dosing intervals but anticipated to be 30, 60, 120, 360, 480 minutes after the dose. Dosing regime will be q8-12 hourly pending end organ function (at the discretion of the treating team). The study will be continued for the duration of the Antibiotic therapy whilst on ECMO support and for one set of samples following decannulation.

    Measured: Peri drug dose administration until cessation of antibiotic therapy or cessation of ECMO support up to a maximum of 4 weeks.

  2. Plasma concentration: cefazolin

    Drug levels will be checked at baseline followed by additional measurements after the dose based on the dosing intervals but anticipated to be 30, 60, 120, 360, 480 minutes after the dose. Dosing regime will be q8-12 hourly pending end organ function (at the discretion of the treating team). The study will be continued for the duration of the Antibiotic therapy whilst on ECMO support and for one set of samples following decannulation.

    Measured: Peri drug dose administration until cessation of antibiotic therapy or cessation of ECMO support up to a maximum of 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Drug Effect, run by Boston Children's Hospital at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2022. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: COVID-19 - study and recruitment not feasible). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Plasma concentration: piperacillin-tazobactam (time frame: Peri drug dose administration until cessation of antibiotic therapy or cessation of ECMO support up to a maximum of 4 weeks.). 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 21 Mar 2022.
