CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Pharmacodynamic, Therapy, Pharmacokinetic
To compare the 30-day mortality of patients with hospital-acquired sepsis in the ICU according to the mode of administration of the pivotal βL antibiotic (CID group vs. IID group).
Secondary objectives 4
- 1. 30-day mortality in patients (i) with proven Gram-negative infection (GNI), (ii) with proven non-fermentative GNI, (iii) with proven GNI for which the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the βL used were higher to the breakpoints according to the European committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). 2. 30-day mortality in patients that received non-carbapenem-βL 3. Clinical failure
- 4. PK-PD target attainment at day 1 and day 3 5. Superinfection (primary infection site) or new infection (different infection site) at day 30 due to a GNB resistant to the βL administered at inclusion 6. Microbiological failure among patients with clinical failure.
- 7. New carriage, colonization or infection with one of the following BMR-GNB: at days 3, 7 and 30: - extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) Enterobacteriaceaeticarcillin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii Stenotrophomonas maltophilia - extended-spectrum β-lactam-producing Entero bacteriaceae - high-concentration cephalosporinase producing AmpC Enterobacteriaceae;
- 8. New carriage, colonization or infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa not susceptible to the βL administered at days 3, 7 and 30 9. Duration of organ failure between day 1 and day 30 10. Occurrence of adverse events at day 30 11. Length of ICU and hospital stays 12. 180-day mortality

Endpoints
Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)
Primary endpoints 1
- The primary endpoint is the mortality rate at day 30 between CID and IID groups.
Secondary endpoints 8
