Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam (IMI/REL) in Treatment of CRE Infections

August 29, 2024 updated by: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

A Study Comparing Prospective Use of Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam (IMI/REL) to Retrospective Data Using Meropenem/ Vabobactam (MVB) and Ceftazidime/Avibactam (CZA) in Treatment of Klebsiella Producing Carbapenemase Enterobacteriaceae Infections

This is an observation study comparing prospective use of Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam (IMI/REL) to retrospective data using Meropenem/Vabobactam (MVB)and Ceftazidime/Avibactam CZA) in treatment of Klebsiella Producing Carbapenemase Enterobacteriaceae infections at a tertiary care hospital. The objectives of the study are to demonstrate successful treatment of KPC containing Enterobacteriaceae infections with IMI/REL including in bacteremia, and to analyze treatment outcomes in use of IMI/REL for KPC-producing infections compared to historical clinical outcome data with CZA and MVB use at the same institution.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adult (>18 years of age) patients with a KPC-producing CRE infection at any site except for isolated urinary source. Patients may be initially enrolled once identified with a CRE infection defined as resistance to any carbapenem. Any carbapenem resistance will provide an initial mechanism of identifying study eligible patients in accordance with our institutions definition of CRE for infection prevention purposes. As this study is specific for KPC-producing CRE inclusion in the study analysis will require confirmation of a KPC gene by molecular analysis of the isolate and subjects enrolled may be subsequently removed from study and excluded from analysis if molecular testing reveals their CRE isolate to be a non-KPC mechanism of resistance. Polymicrobial infections at same or different sites can also be included as long as additional gram-negative active agents aside from IMI/REL are not needed for treatment.
  2. Bacterial infection with Enterobacteriaceae excluding Morganellaceae
  3. Ability and willingness to give informed consent. A Legal authorized representative may be used when the patient is unable to provide informed consent.
  4. Be the first episode of a CRE infection to be treated with IMI/REL. Previously treatment with IMI/REL for a KPC-containing Enterobacteriaceae infection will exclude patients from enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Receipt of more than 48 hours of effective antibiotic therapy against KPC containing infections (e.g. MVB, CZA) prior to first dose of IMI/REL being administered.
  2. Infections localized to urinary source alone (bloodstream infections from urinary source will be included)
  3. Infection with Morganellaceae
  4. Prior serious allergic reaction to carbapenem therapy
  5. Need for ongoing concomitant therapy with ganciclovir or valproic acid
  6. Need for ongoing concomitant therapy with another antibiotic active against gram negative pathogens. Concomitant therapy with Vancomycin, Daptomycin, Linezolid, Clindamycin, Fidaxomicin, Nafcillin, Metronidazole, and Rifaximin will be allowed but no other antibiotic agents.
  7. Pregnancy or ongoing breastfeeding. Women of childbearing age must test negative on a urine pregnancy test at time of screening for trial eligibility and remain either abstinent or use 2 forms of highly effective contraception for the duration of the IMI/REL administration during the study.
  8. Inability to comply with study protocol or remain hospitalized for duration of study.
  9. Life expectancy less than 72 hours in opinion of study investigators.

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
Clinical success
Time Frame: 30 days
Clinical success defined as survival at 30 days, resolution of signs and symptoms of infection, sterilization of blood cultures within 7 days of treatment initiation in patients with bacteremia, and absence of recurrent infections.
30 days
Clinical success by site of infection
Time Frame: 30 days
Clinical success in patients grouped by site of infection: bacteremia, respiratory, intra-abdominal infection, soft tissue, catheter associated and urinary tract. Subjects may be included in multiple groups if applicable for analysis.

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.
