PAACS: PK/PD of Extended-infusion Meropenem, Piperacillin-tazobactam and Cefepime in the Early Phase of Septic Shock
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates PK/PD of an extended-infusion protocol of meropenem, piperacillin-tazobactam and cefepime, in the early phase of septic shock.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Beta Lactams are the keystones of shock septic treatment. Early phase of septic shock is a period of disturbed pharmacokinetics, with augmented renal clearance and distribution volume of hydrophilic drugs as Beta Lactams. Consequently, early phase of septic shock is a period at risk of underdosing Beta Lactam, which could increase the risk of clinical failure an mortality.
Data are available concerning underdosing of MEROPENEM, PIPERACILLIN-TAZOBACTAM and CEFEPIME, when administered in bolus.
No data exist concerning the achievement of a target of 100% of the whole interval above 4 time the superior breakpoint of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa according to EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing), during the 48 first hours of treatment of septic shock, when Beta Lactam are administered in extended infusion.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: MEROPENEM After enrollment, patients of MEROPENEM arm will receive an initial 2g bolus of MEROPENEM and 2g infusion over 3 hours every eight hours, during 48 hours, without modification of rhythm and dose according to renal function. |
Drug: MEROPENEM
Administration of MEROPENEM according to a protocol of extended infusion defining dose and duration of infusion.
|
Active Comparator: PIPERACILLIN-TAZOBACTAM After enrollment, patients of PIPERACILLIN - TAZOBACTAM arm will receive an initial 4g bolus of PIPERACILLIN - TAZOBACTAM and a 16g continuous infusion per day, during 48 hours, without modification of rhythm and dose according to renal function. |
Drug: PIPERACILLIN-TAZOBACTAM
Administration of PIPERACILLIN-TAZOBACTAM according to a protocol of continuous infusion defining dose and duration of infusion.
|
Active Comparator: CEFEPIME After enrollment, patients of CEFEPIME arm will receive an initial 2g bolus of CEFEPIME and a 6g continuous infusion per day, during 48 hours, without modification of rhythm and dose according to renal function. |
Drug: CEFEPIME
Administration of CEFEPIME according to a protocol of continuous infusion defining dose and duration of infusion.
