Trial summary

For several years, open abdomen with temporary abdominal closure using Negative Pressure Therapy (OA/NPT) has become one of the leading strategies to treat or prevent intra-abdominal hypertension in critically ill surgical patients after a wide range of complex abdominal injuries and conditions.

About this study

For several years, open abdomen with temporary abdominal closure using Negative Pressure Therapy (OA/NPT) has become one of the leading strategies to treat or prevent intra-abdominal hypertension in critically ill surgical patients after a wide range of complex abdominal injuries and conditions.

According to current practice, piperacillin-tazobactam (PTZ) is widely used as part of empirical combined antibiotic therapy to treat severe abdominal infections in the critically ill patients. On the other hand, little is known about the impact of OA/NPT on antibiotics pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) and the optimal dosing regimens in this population remain unclear.

As PTZ is a small hydrophilic molecule with a very low level of protein binding, invesitigators hypothesized that OA/NPT should lead to significant changes in volume of distribution (Vd) and/or drug clearance (CL

The main objective of this study was to assess the incidence of underdosing and the pharmacokinetics of piperacillin in critically ill patients with OA/NPT.

The secondary objective was to assess the appropriateness of recommended regimens for empirical minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) coverage.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood sampling (T0, inclusion)Procedure or surgery

    Blood sample (5 ml) at 30 minutes after the loading dose of 4g/0.5g over 30 minutes for therapeutic drug monitoring at peak concentration (Cmax)

  • other samplings (T1)Procedure or surgery

    • T1 : Day of the first surgical revision, under PTZ administered by continuous infusion : Blood sample (5 ml) for therapeutic drug monitoring at steady state concentration (Css).

    Urinary sample and collection of urinary volume between T0 and T1 (Urinary Clearance) NPT fluid sample and collection of NPT volume between T0 and T1 (Peritoneal Clearance) Peritoneal sampling for therapeutic drug monitoring at the site of infection (CPt)

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of piperacillin

    The main outcome investigated in this study was the rate of piperacillin (PIP) underdosing, arbitrarily defined by at least one of three samples under 16 mg/L. This threshold represents the highest MIC for Pseudomonas as per the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST).

    Measured: T1 (Day of the first surgical revision, up to 72 hours after inclusion)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Laparotomy and Critical Illness, 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 6 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 27 Feb 2023. 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?

Rate of piperacillin (time frame: T1 (Day of the first surgical revision, up to 72 hours after inclusion)). 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 27 Feb 2023.
