Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not giving a lower dose of antibiotics (Vancomycin) in the area where it is needed (upper extremity) is more effective at preventing infection than the current standard dose which is given intravenously (IV). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Tissue Concentrations of Vancomycin Achieved With Bier Block Administration Versus Intravenous Prophylaxis in Upper Extremity Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not giving a lower dose of antibiotics (Vancomycin) in the area where it is needed (upper extremity) is more effective at preventing infection than the current standard dose which is given intravenously (IV).

Being tested
Systemic IV Vancomycin, Bier Block, Vancomycin
Medical subject headings
Infections, Hand Injuries, Disease

What participants receive

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

  • Systemic IV VancomycinDrug

    1 g of vancomycin will be delivered intravenously over a period of one hour prior to tourniquet inflation.

  • Bier BlockProcedure or surgery

    After exsanguination of the limb and elevation of the tourniquet in the prepped and draped patient, Vancomycin will be injected into a superficial vein in the hand, wrist or forearm.

  • VancomycinDrug

    500 mg diluted in 50 cc normal saline of injection into superficial vein in the hand, wrist or forearm

Study groups in NCT04673877
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Bier Block GroupExperimentalSubjects will receive antibiotic Vancomycin from a Bier Block (injected into an arm vein with a tourniquet up to keep antibiotics in the arm). Samples will be collected from bone and tissue that is normally removed during surgery.
Receives: Procedure: Bier Block; Drug: Vancomycin
Systemic Intravenous IV GroupActive comparatorSubjects will receive antibiotic Vancomycin through intravenous administration. Samples will be collected from bone and tissue that is normally removed during during surgery.
Receives: Drug: Systemic IV Vancomycin

What is being measured

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

  1. Tissue concentrations of vancomycin

    Tissue concentrations of vancomycin in the hand and wrist following Bier Block administration versus systemic IV administration

    Measured: Approximately 45-60 minutes after skin incision

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse Events

    Number of adverse events reported for Bier Block administered vancomycin

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Systemic IV Vancomycin, Bier Block and Vancomycin in people with Infection and Hand Injury Wrist, run by Mayo Clinic 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 7 Oct 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Tissue concentrations of vancomycin (time frame: Approximately 45-60 minutes after skin incision). 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 7 Oct 2022.
