Trial summary

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAPs) are a very common side effect in intensive care units. They are the leading causes of nosocomial infections and excess mortality in intensive care units: associated with a controversial death rate of around 13%. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of the FilmArray® Test on the Management of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in COVID-19 ARDS

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAPs) are a very common side effect in intensive care units. They are the leading causes of nosocomial infections and excess mortality in intensive care units: associated with a controversial death rate of around 13%.

VAPs complicate about 40-50% of COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the mortality would be twice higher.

Thus, in this context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this represents a considerable rate of patients.

Unfortunately, the risk factors for VAPs are poorly understood and the bacterial ecology varies around the world. Also, facing a high prevalence of multi-resistant bacteria in this population, the choice of probabilistic antibiotic therapy is complex and represents a considerable impact for care.

New microbiological rapid diagnostic techniques have appeared in recent years, among them the FilmArray® seems to present interesting diagnostic performances with the ability to detects resistance to antibiotics.

This technique has been studied in acute community pneumonia but has not been validated in VAP and even less during the COVID-19 period.

Investigators decide to conduct this study to investigate if the early identification of the pathogens and their mechanism of resistance using FilmArray® would improve the relevance of the antibiotic treatment.

The aim of this project is to evaluate the contribution of a rapid diagnostic technique to the management of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia during COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome before an interventional study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of SARS-CoV2 Infection and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes 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 5 inclusion and 0 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 Oct 2021. 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?

Impact of FilmArray® on the adaptation of antibiotic therapy (time frame: Day 7). 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 Oct 2021.
