Pulmonary Diffusion of Antibiotics in Patients Admitted for ARDS Following SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia
France34 participantsStarted 2022-11-24
Plain-language summary
Patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) following SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia frequently develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The incidence of MVAP during SARS-CoV-2 infections ranges from 50 to nearly 90%. In addition, up to 80% of recurrences of VAP (a new episode, most often attributable to the same bacteria) have been described, reflecting the failure of the initial antibiotic therapy. This incidence is much higher than that described for other etiologies of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The investigators hypothesize that during VAP, there is an alteration of the diffusion of intravenous antibiotics in the lung parenchyma in COVID-19 patients in relation to several factors characteristic of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This altered diffusion may explain the high number of recurrences of MVAP compared to non-COVID-19 patients.

Exclusion criteria
. Patients for whom PIP-TAZ is administered as a discontinuous infusion.
. Contraindication to the realization of a mini-LBA: patient whose respiratory state is too precarious for the realization of a mini-LBA for intra pulmonary antibiotics dosage (SpO2\<94% under FiO2 100% under VM), presence of a non drained pneumothorax, bronchial prosthesis, recent bronchial suture
. Patient with a second episode of PAVM.
. Patients with KDIGO stage ≥ 3 renal failure or extra-renal replacement therapy (creatinine measurement on the day of inclusion, performed as part of routine care).
. Patient on ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) or ExtraCorporeal CO2 Removal (ECCO2R).
. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients under guardianship or trusteeship, deprived of liberty
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
