Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Interestingly, a trend for a lower rate of mortality was also observed in the SD group (n=15, 23.4%) compared with the LD group (n=19, 30.2%), but this study was clearly underpowered to detect a difference of mortality between groups.
The two strategies were considered as not different, for the risk of mortality in a recent meta-analysis, performed on the very few available studies (n=2), that (OR = 1.33, 95% CI \[0.33 to 5.26\] for SD vs. LD strategies respectively). However, this conclusion remains questionable considering the large confidence interval of the risk and the power of these studies.
Primary objective and assessment criterion: To assess the non-inferiority of a short duration of antibiotics (8 days) vs. prolonged antibiotic therapy (15 days) in P. aeruginosa ventilator-associated pneumonia (PA-VAP) on a composite end-point combining Day-90 mortality and PA-VAP recurrence rate during hospitalization in the ICU.
Study Design :
Randomized, open-labeled non inferiority controlled trial 32 French Intensive Care Units participating to the study
Research period:
Total study duration: 27 months Inclusion period: 24 months Duration of participation for a patient: 90 days
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
PA-VAP is associated with a high mortality ranging from 40% up to 69%, and with high rates of recurrence despite adequate antimicrobial therapy. In a large randomized trial regarding the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy in overall VAPs, the rate of recurrence among the subgroup of non-fermenting Gram negative bacilli (NF-GNB) documented VAP varied between 19.0% and 32.8%, according to the randomization arm. Finally, a recently published cohort about 393 PA-VAP in 314 patients, the composite criteria failure treatment (death and recurrence) occured in 112 cases (28.5%).
Hypothesis A short duration antibiotherapy (8 days) vs. long duration antibiotherapy (15 days) in treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (PA-VAP) is safe and not associated with an increased mortality or recurrence rate of PA-VAP.
The demonstration of this hypothesis could lead to decrease antibiotic exposure during the hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and in turn reduce the acquisition and the spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens (MDR).
Objectives
1. Primary objective To assess the non-inferiority of a short duration of antibiotics (8 days) vs. prolonged antibiotic therapy (15 days) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa ventilator-associated pneumonia (PA-VAP) on morbi-mortality at 90 days.
2. Secondary objectives
To compare between short and long duration of antibiotics on:
* mortality in the ICU
* morbidity in the ICU (mechanical ventilation, duration of hospitalization)
* exposure and acquisition of MDR during hospitalization
* number and types of extrapulmonary infections
Plan for the research
1. Concise description of the primary and secondary assessment criteria
\- Primary assessment criterion: A composite endpoint combining Day-90 mortality and PA-VAP recurrence rate during hospitalization in the ICU (within 90 days).
Recurrence will be defined a posteriori by 3 independent experts with predefined criteria: clinical suspicion of VAP (≥ two criteria including: fever\> 38.5°C, leukocytosis \> 10 Giga/L or leukopenia \< 4 Giga/L, purulent tracheobronchial secretions and a new or persistent infiltrate on chest radiography). associated with a positive quantitative culture of a respiratory sample (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (significant threshold ≥104 colony-forming units/mL) or plugged telescopic catheter (significant threshold ≥103 colony-forming units/mL) or quantitative endotracheal aspirate distal pulmonary secretion samples (significant threshold ≥106 colony-forming units/mL)).
* Secondary assessment criteria:
1. D30 and D90 mortality rate (%)
2. Morbidity by:
Duration of mechanical ventilation (days) Duration of hospitalization in ICU (days)
3. Exposure to antibiotics during the hospitalization in the ICU (days)
4. Number and types of extrapulmonary infections during the hospitalization in the ICU (n)
5. Acquisition of MDR during the hospitalization in the ICU (swab sample of rectum and anterior nares)
2. Description of research methodology
Randomized, open-labeled non inferiority trial comparing to parallel groups:
* 8 days of antibiotic therapy
* 15 days of antibiotic therapy
Antibiotic therapy Antibiotic treatment should be started just after realization of bacteriological sampling, without waiting for the result. The choice of initial antibiotic therapy will be left to the discretion of the physician but will be essentially based on the clinical context, previously antibiotic therapy, the presence or absence of risk factors for MDR (antibiotics or hospitalization in previous 90 days, current hospitalization ≥ 5 days, MV ≥ 5 days, supported in a dialysis center or residency in a nursing home), local epidemiological data, and finally if the patient is already known as being colonized by a MDR. Investigators would be strongly encouraged to convert this initial regimen into a narrow- spectrum therapy, based on culture results.
All antibiotics would be withdrawn, either at the end of day 8 or day 15, according to the randomization assignment, except those prescribed for a documented pulmonary infection recurrence before that day.
An algorithm for the initial prescription of antibiotics will be established in each ICU, the algorithm will be adapted whenever necessary to changes in the local ecology.
