Condition(s) targeted: To Assess the Tissular and Plasma Kinetics of Ertapenem

Intervention: Ertapenem (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Terminated

Sponsored by: Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Ioanna BOYADJIEV, PH, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Marseille

Summary

Goal of study: To assess the tissular and plasma kinetics of ertapenem; To determine the optimal dosages in the patients according to norepinephrine administration:

- to assess muscular diffusion of free form of ertapenem after administration to

mechanically ventilated patients requiring such a treatment. The patients are included in the groups "with norepinephrine" or "without norepinephrine" according to their hemodynamic status.

- to assess the plasma pharmacokinetics of ertapenem in mechanically ventilated patients

treated or not by norepinephrine. Open-label, prospective study performed in a single ICU (16 beds) of a tertiary hospital (700 beds).

Clinical Details

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: assess the tissular and plasma kinetics of ertapenem
