Critical Illness Clinical Trial
Official title:
Polymyxin B Monotherapy Versus Polymyxin B-Carbapenem Combination Therapy in Critically Ill Patients With Multi-drug Resistant Gram-negative Infection: A Prospective, Parallel-Group, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Study
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of polymyxin B as monotherapy versus a combined polymyxin B-carbapenem therapy against multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram negative infections. The investigators intend to evaluate if this synergistic drug regimen correlates with improved outcomes against gram-negative infections in critically ill patients including: better clinical resolution, reduced length of stay at hospital, reduced length of stay at the intensive care unit, and less recurrence of infection.
The "MUSEUM" trial is a single-center, prospective, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized, controlled study design. The trial will be conducted at the Intensive Care Unit of the Puerto Rico Trauma Hospital located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Patients with clinical and microbiological evidence of an Multi-drug resistant infection related to Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), Complicated Urinary tract infection (cUTI) or Bloodstream infection (BSI) will be considered candidates for the study. The pathogen should be resistant to all antibiotics except to polymyxin B. With a predicted survival rate of 67% (hazard ratio of 0.33), a significance of α = 0.05, power of 80%, and assuming a dropout rate of 15%, the estimated sample size is n = 40 patients (20 per group). In terms of safety, the most clinically relevant adverse effects are nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, which will be evaluated and adjudicated. The recurrence of infection will be defined as a new superinfection by the same or other species than the initial infection that is multidrug-resistant. Length of stay at the Hospital will be measured from the day of admission until the day of discharge. Length of stay in the ICU will be measured from the day of admission until the day of discharge from the unit. To our knowledge, this will be the first prospective, double blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial in representation of the critically ill trauma patients infected with Multi-drug resistant pathogens. ;
