Short Infusion Versus Prolonged Infusion of Ceftolozane-tazobactam Among Patients With Ventilator Associated-pneumonia

Phase 3
Conditions
Ventilator-associated Pneumonia
Interventions
Drug: 4 hours infusion
Drug: 1 hour infusion
Registration Number
NCT03581370
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Toulouse
Brief Summary

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.

4 hours infusion4 hours infusionThe second group corresponds to 4-hours infusion: First administration of ceftolozane-tazobactam with 2000 mg by infusion for 4 hours every 8 hours. 24h after this first administration, 7 blood samples will be collected at Hour 24, Hour 25, Hour 26, Hour 28, Hour 30, Hour 32 and Hour 48. .
1 hour infusion1 hour infusionThe first group corresponds to 1-hour infusion : First administration of ceftolozane-tazobactam with 2000 mg by infusion for 60 minutes every 8 hours. 24h after this first administration, 7 blood samples will be collected at Hour 24, Hour 25, Hour 26, Hour 28, Hour 30, Hour 32 and Hour 48.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time that the concentration spends above 5 Minimum inhibitory Concentration (T>5*MIC)Time between two administrations (8 hours)

The primary endpoint is the time that the concentration spends above 5\* Minimum inhibitory Concentration, expressed as a percentage of the time interval between two administrations. The T\>5\* Minimum inhibitory Concentration will be determined for each patient from the concentration profile measured over an 8-hour post-administration interval. Since protein binding is low (\<20%), the total concentration (sum of free form and plasma protein bound) will be used as a marker for free concentration. Therefore, the T\>5\* Minimum inhibitory Concentration will be calculated from the total concentrations. Our study will focus on only Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia acquired under mechanical ventilation with a critical Minimum inhibitory Concentration of 4 mg/l, T\>5\* Minimum inhibitory Concentration will then correspond to a residual serum concentration of 20 mg/l.
