About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of a Vancomycin Dosage Strategy Based on a Serum Trough Concentration Model in Elderly Patients With Severe Pneumonia

Study design:

Allocation: Randomized Endpoint classification: Efficacy study Masking: Open label Primary purpose: Treatment Primary endpoint: Incidence of reaching the target serum trough concentration Secondary endpoint: Clinical efficiency, Antibiotic use, acute kidney injury.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective randomized control trial. There are two groups, study group and control group. Patients of study group accepted vancomycin strategies decided by a serum trough concentration model, and patients of control group accepted vancomycin dosage decided by attending physician. The primary endpoint is the incidence of reaching the target serum trough concentration, the secondary endpoint are clinical efficiency, antibiotic use and side effects such as acute kidney injury, etc.

What participants receive

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

  • Individualized therapyDrug

    Also called Vancomycin

    Dosage of Vancomycin decided by a serum trough concentration model, instead of decided by attending physician

Study groups in NCT04088305
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study groupExperimentalPatients of study group will accept vancomycin strategies decided by a serum trough concentration model.
Receives: Drug: Individualized therapy
Control groupNo interventionPatients of control group will accept vancomycin dosages decided by attending physician.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of vancomycin therapeutic serum trough concentrations

    The proportion of patients with vancomycin serum trough concentrations reaching target concentrations (≥15mg/L)will be compared between study group and control group

    Measured: before the fifth vancomycin dosage

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical success rate

    the proportion of patients with clinical success

    Measured: Seven days after vancomycin withdrawal.

  2. Vancomycin doses

    Vancomycin daily doses and totally doses

    Measured: At the end of vancomycin therapy, an average of 10 days.

  3. Incidence of acute kidney injury

    The incidence of vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury

    Measured: At the end of vancomycin treatment, an average of 10 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Individualized therapy in people with Pneumonia, Staphylococcal, run by Peking University Third Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 31 Aug 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

The incidence of vancomycin therapeutic serum trough concentrations (time frame: before the fifth vancomycin dosage). 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 31 Aug 2022.
