Empiric Antibiotic Therapy for Ventilator-acquired Pneumonia With Gram-negative Bacilli in Intensive Care (TARGET-REA)

April 15, 2016 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Empiric Antibiotic Therapy for Ventilator-acquired Pneumonia With Gram-negative Bacilli in Intensive Care: Pharmacodynamic Evaluation and Impact.

this study aims to verify the adequacy of doses of antibiotics prescribed in clinical practice for the treatment of ventilated acquired pneumonia (VAP) in the intensive care unit (ICU) with the pharmacodynamic efficacy criteria considered relevant literature. The impact of these pharmacodynamic parameters on the clinical and microbiological VAP will be evaluated.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Pneumonia acquired in mechanically ventilated patients (PAVM)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Use of mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours

  2. Clinical suspicion of ventilation-acquired pneumonia (VAP) defined by new radiological persisting infiltrate (or ARDS) AND one of the following features:

    purulent tracheal aspirates OR temperature ≥ 38.3°C OR leukocytosis> 10 giga/L

  3. High risk of multidrug-resistant bacteria, defined as either at least 6 days of mechanical ventilation OR antibiotic treatment in the previous 15 days
  4. Implementation of a prior distal respiratory sample for microbiological diagnosis by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) OR distal sampling by protected catheter (PDP)
  5. Age ≥ 18 years
  6. Implementing a medical examination
  7. Obtain the written consent of the patient, one of its relatives or trusted person previously designated or emergency clause.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant woman
  2. Expected death within 72 hours of diagnosis of VAP patient
  3. Dialysis

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
adequate antibiotics
Time Frame: 28 days
proportion of patients for whom the pharmacodynamic target defined a priori according to data from the literature is reached for each antibiotic anti Gram-negative bacillus used empirically activity (including β-lactams, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides)
28 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Death
Time Frame: 28 days
28 days
Bacterial species
Time Frame: 28 days
Bacterial species in question, defined as any bacteria isolated in significant amounts on the diagnostic breath sampling
28 days
Distribution of the main pharmacodynamic parameters
Time Frame: 28 days
  1. ratio of the peak serum level (Cmax) on the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), ie Cmax/MIC ratio (for aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones): distribution in the population and proportion of patients with Cmax/MIC> 10
  2. ratio of the Area Under the serum concentration time Curve (AUC) on the MIC, ie AUC/MIC ratio (for fluoroquinolones) : distribution in the population and proportion of patients with an AUC/MIC ratio> 125
  3. percentage of time spent above the MIC between 2 injections, and trough/MIC ratio (for β-lactams): distribution in the population and proportion of patients with a T>MIC of 100% (intermittent infusion) or trough/MIC> 4 (continuous infusion)
28 days
Eradication of gram negative bacilli responsible for VAP
Time Frame: 28 days
defined as a bacterial count from distal respiratory sample realized during the third day of treatment, less than the threshold for each isolated Gram negative bacilli initially beyond these thresholds
28 days
Number of days alive without mechanical ventilation
Time Frame: 28 days
28 days
Clinical recovery
Time Frame: 28 days
defined as patient alive with Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) <8
28 days
Score of organ failure (SOFA)
Time Frame: 8 days
repeated measures every 48h for 8 days
8 days

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2014

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
