Official title
Comparison of Short Infusion Versus Prolonged Infusion of Ceftolozane-tazobactam Among Patients with Ventilator Associated-pneumonia to Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in Intensive Care Units
Overview
The main objective of this study is to compare the median exposures at pharmacokinetic equilibrium of the two modalities of administration: 4-hours infusion of ceftolozane-tazobactam at a dosage of 2 gram three times a day vs 1-hour infusion of 2 gram three times a day.
Detailed description
Intensive care unit patients with ventilator associated-pneumonia often develop severe and rapidly life threatening Gram-negative Bacillus infections. Moreover, they present pathophysiological disturbances responsible for major pharmacokinetic changes (volume of distribution and glomerular filtration) which may lead to drugs under-exposure. Any delay in management or inadequate antibiotic therapy can have serious consequences in terms of prognosis. The association ceftolozane-tazobactam is an alternative to carbapenems in documented infections. Ceftolozane is a new cephalosporin, marketed, in combination with tazobactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor) under the name ZERBAXA®. ZERBAXA® is active on Gram-negative Bacillus, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
This is a prospective, randomized, open pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic study that compares two modalities of administration of a novel antibiotic, ZERBAXA® ceftolozane-tazobactam, by 4-hours infusion at the dosage of 2 gram three times a day vs. 1-hour infusion at the dosage of 2 g three times a day, among patients with ventilator associated-pneumonia to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The patient will be randomized either in the 4-hours or in the 1-hour infusion group. Follow up visits are daily for any intensive care patient. Those provided for biomedical research are carried out during the treatment period, at Day 15 and Day 28. For the pharmacokinetic study, 7 blood samples will be collected from 24 hours to 48 hours after the first ZERBAXA® administration.
Interventions
- Drug 1 hour infusion
Intravenous administration of ceftolozane-tazobactam (ZERBAXA®) : 2000 mg by infusion for 60 minutes every 8 hours. - Drug 4 hours infusion
Intravenous administration of ceftolozane-tazobactam (ZERBAXA®) : 2000 mg by infusion for 4 hours every 8 hours
Primary outcome measures
- Time that the concentration spends above 5 Minimum inhibitory Concentration (T>5*MIC) [Time frame: Time between two administrations (8 hours)]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- Percentage of patients with concentrations greater than 5*Minimum inhibitory Concentration [Time frame: Time between two administrations (8 hours)]
- Bactericidal rate [Time frame: at Day 10]
- Percentage of patients recovering at the end of the treatment period [Time frame: at Day 10]
- Percentage of patients failing at the end of the treatment period [Time frame: at Day 10]
- Number of days without artificial ventilation [Time frame: at Day 28]
- The duration of hospitalization [Time frame: at Day 28]
- Survival at D28 [Time frame: at Day 28]
- The alveolar concentration of Ceftolozane-Tazobactam [Time frame: between 24 hour and 48 hour after time 0]
- Evaluation of the serious adverse events [Time frame: Day 28]
