Empirical Antifungal Treatment in ICUS

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Invasive Candidiasis
Interventions
Drug: PLACEBO
Registration Number
NCT01773876
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

Invasive Candida infections are burdened with a high mortality rate and is very common in intensive care units. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of empirical treatment with micafungin in adult patients with suspected invasive candidiasis.

Detailed Description

Multicenter, randomized, double-blind parallel groups comparing adult patients with suspected invasive candidiasis input from a 14-day empirical treatment with micafungin (MYCAMINE 100 mg) with placebo on survival without invasive candidiasis in 28 days after initiation of study treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
survival to 28 days without proven fungal infection (a fungal infection occurring within 48 hours after inclusion will be considered available for inclusion)28 days follow-up

breakthrough infection defined as a proven infection occurs at least 48 hours after initiation of treatment Proven infection is considered purchased after enrollment if the first significant positive levy occurs after the 48 th hour after enrollment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pharmacokinetic parameters: estimated gross exposure indices: AUC, Cmax, Cminduring 24 hours (between the two first infusions)

Reports AUC / MIC and Cmax / MIC will be calculated

evaluation of tolerance3 months

For all patients who received at least one dose of treatment:

* number of adverse events reported after randomization up to 28 days, only death will count up to 3 months post-randomization (information on the long-term survival collected by telephone),

* changes in the clinical examination, vital signs and laboratory results,

* overall survival defined as the time from randomization to date of death from any cause.

* Changes in liver function tests (bilirubin, ALT, AST, rate prothrombin, alkaline phosphatase) at the end of treatment and at the end study

pharmacodynamic parameters: potential serum biomarkers of treatment efficacy (PCR Candida,1,3 β-D-glucan,mannan antigenemia,anti-mannan,Procalcitonin (proCT))during 28 days
pharmacodynamic parameters: Early prognostic factors of response: J7 survival without proven invasive candidiasisduring 14 days
Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible on all-cause mortality at day 28 (end of study) and J90 (3 months post-randomization)during 90 days
Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis can free survival antifungal treatment at day 28during 28 days
Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible evolution of organ failure during the studyduring 90 days
Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible the use of mechanical ventilation during the studyduring 90 days
Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible evolution of the colonization index during studyduring 90 days
Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible changes in serum biomarkers (1-3 β-D-glucan, mannan antigenemia, anti-mannan Candida PCR) during the studyduring 90 days
Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible on the incidence of pneumonia acquired bacterial mechanical ventilation (VAP).during 90 days
