Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients are treated in hemodialysis in the Nephrology Transplantation Dialysis Department of the Pellegrin Hospital of Bordeaux University Hospital. The hemodialysis unit of this service, supports a constant cohort of dialysis patients three times a week (Monday / Wednesday / Friday or Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday). Sepsis can occur during a hemodialysis session or be the cause of hospitalization. During an infectious episode, the patient is informed orally of the study and gives his oral and written consent to take an additional tube in order to carry out a bacteriological complementary analysis using a new technique to compare it to the "gold standard".

Who may be able to join

  • patients over 18 year old,
  • suspicion of septicemia in hemodialysis patient with catheter,
  • patient oral consent prior to inclusion in the study.

Who cannot join

  • patients who went through the A\&E department,
  • patients who have received an antimicrobial therapy more than 8 hours long,
  • patient under legal protection.

About this study

The aims of this study are to evaluate the PCR on whole blood approach to determine rapidly both the susceptibility and the identification of Staphylococcus responsible of septicemia in patients under hemodialysis with catheter. The results obtained with this novel experimental approach will be compared to those obtained on the same clinical samples by the routine diagnostic laboratory.

Read the detailed description

The outlook of current trends indicates that maximum effort is needed to tailor the initial antimicrobial therapy in patients under hemodialysis with catheter. Specific emphasis is put on early availability of antimicrobial susceptibility results by Diagnostic laboratories to optimize the management of those difficult infections.

Direct whole blood PCR could allow a rapid determination of bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. The study is designed to assess the concordance of a direct whole blood PCR targeting staphylococcus and its susceptibility to oracillin with the classical microbiological approach of samples from hemodialysis patients with catheter suspected of septicemia. This innovative approach should allow a faster diagnostic allowing the clinicians to better tailor the initial empirical antimicrobial therapy which has been proven crucial for a good clinical management of the patients.

Moreover, the use of an adequate antimicrobial therapy early in the management of the patients, should not only lead to a better clinical outcome but also avoid unnecessary prescriptions of drugs which are the main drivers of the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimate the bacterial species concordance between the diagnostic laboratory approach and the novel approach

    The bacterial contamination will be estimated by the results of hemoculture compared to the PCR approach. The concordance between the two profils will be observed.

    Measured: 48 hours after inclusion visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the concordance of meticillin resistance diagnosis between PCR and blood cultures

    The meticillin resistance diagnosis will be estimated by the result of PCR approach and blood cultures in hemodialysis patients with renal insufficiency with a suspected sepsis.

    Measured: 48 hours after inclusion visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Septicemia in Hemodialysis, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 13 May 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 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?

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?

Estimate the bacterial species concordance between the diagnostic laboratory approach and the novel approach (time frame: 48 hours after inclusion visit). 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 13 May 2020.
