About this study

Official title: Strategy to Prevent Transmission of Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative Organisms in ICU - Evaluation of Effect of Active Surveillance Test

  1. Objective of study The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the active surveillance and preemptive isolation of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in the intensive care unit affected the reduction of the rate of acquisition of multidrug- resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGNB).
  2. Background Treatment option for MDRGNB (Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa, Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) is limited. Development of infection due to MDRGNB is common in ICU. Strategy to prevent transmission of MDRGNB is needed, and there is two approaches; First, antimicrobial stewardship program, and second, infection control strategy.The investigators aimed to figure out the role of active surveillance test and preemptive isolation of MDRGNB in reduction of acquisition rate of MDRGNB.
  3. Methods Pragmatic cluster randomized, crossover, controlled trial During first period (6 months), intervention group (randomized 3 ICUs) perform daily chlorhexidine bathing, active surveillance test and preemptive isolation and contact precaution. Control group (randomized 3 ICUs) perform standard precaution with daily chlorhexidine bathing, and start contact precaution when clinical isolates reveals MDRGNB.

After 1 month washout period, intervention group and control group cross over for next 6 months.

What participants receive

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

  • Active surveillance and preemptive isolationOther

    Active surveillance test and preemptive isolation is performed. If MDRO is isolated in surveillance test, contact precaution is needed.

  • ControlOther

    No active surveillance and preemptive isolation. If clinical isolates are positive for MDRGNB, start contact precaution

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of patients who acquired MDRGNB in ICU per 1000 patient-days

    The number of patients who acquired MDRGNB in ICU per 1000 patient-days

    Measured: through study completion, an average 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of bloodstream infection due to MDRGNB

    Rate of bloodstream infection due to MDRGNB

    Measured: through study completion, an average 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active surveillance and preemptive isolation in people with Antibiotic Resistant Infection, run by Sung-Han Kim at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 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 South Korea. 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?

Contact Jiwon Jung, MD (82-10-3010-5041, trueblue27@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The number of patients who acquired MDRGNB in ICU per 1000 patient-days (time frame: through study completion, an average 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03980197, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Jun 2019.
