About this study

Official title: Population Pharmacokinetics of Amoxicillin in Neonates: Evaluation and Optimization of the Dose

The objective of NEOPOPI is to conduct a population pharmacokinetic study of amoxicillin in neonates, in order to evaluate and optimize neonatal dose regimen.

There will be no change to the medication treatment received by participants. An opportunistic pharmacokinetic sampling approach will be followed: samples will be scavenged from blood or cerebrospinal fluid drawn for routine biochemical tests. In this way, no additional invasive tests will be needed.

Read the detailed description
  • Administration of the antibiotic according to the usual procedures for prescribing services: in particular, neither the indications nor the doses nor the methods of administration are fixed by the protocol
  • Opportunistic sampling strategy: no biological samples are specifically collected for the purposes of the study (measurements of concentrations on "bottoms" or "left-over" samples); the performance of this non-invasive sampling strategy has been previously demonstrated in the neonatal population.
  • Micro-analytical method (assay of concentrations on micro-volumes, of the order of 50μL)
  • Population pharmacokinetic analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Achievement rate of therapeutic efficacy target of amoxicillin

    Achievement rate of therapeutic efficacy target of amoxicillin (ie percentage of neonates in whom amoxicillin plasma concentration remains above the MIC of target organisms for more than 70% of the dose range). In accordance with the recommendations of the European Medicines Agency, the optimal dosage regimen is defined as leading to a probability of antibiotic therapy success of greater than or equal to 90%. Thus, it is necessary to determine the dosage regimen allowing the target of therapeutic efficacy to be reached (ie maintenance of the plasma concentration of amoxicillin greater than the MIC of the targeted microorganisms for more than 70% of the dose) in at least 90% of treated neonates.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Recording of Adverse Events

    Recording of adverse events (clinical and / or biological) during the treatment period and up to 96 hours after the end of treatment

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration

    Collection of MICs of amoxicillin for isolated germs. For amoxicillin the antibacterial activity is time-dependent, the predictor of efficacy is the "Time> MIC": this is the percentage of the administration interval during which the concentration of the antibiotic remains higher than the MIC of target germs

    Measured: 1 week

  3. Concentration of amoxicilin in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)

    Calculation of amoxicillin concentration in CSF / amoxicillin plasma concentration when data permits (i.e. when lumbar puncture is performed as part of usual care, during treatment with amoxicillin

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Emergencies, run by Rennes University Hospital 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 2 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 14 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 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?

Contact Stuart Byrom (0033 (0)299284312, stuart.BYROM@chu-rennes.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Achievement rate of therapeutic efficacy target of amoxicillin (time frame: 1 week). 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 14 Jun 2019.
