NCT04178382

Brief Summary

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the combination of PCR and CRISPR/Cas12a in alveolar lavage fluid for early targeted anti-infective therapy for patients with severe pneumonia. Hosted by the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical College, 5 adult ICU units participate in 3 hospitals. All patients are randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. For experimental group, the combined detection of PCR and CRISPR/Cas12a in the alveolar lavage fluid was carried out in the early stage, and the antibiotic scheme is changed base on the results of PCR-CRISPR/Cas12a.The patients in the control group were adjusted according to the traditional microbial detection methods. The types of early antibiotics, the proportion of target antibiotics, the duration of anti-infective treatment, the length of hospital stay in ICU, the mortality rate, the secondary antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and the incidence of new multidrug-resistant infections were recorded.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • mortality

    The patient's 28-day mortality rate is the survival rate from the onset to the disease at 28 days, compared with the total number of illnesses, to assess the severity of the disease.

    up to 28 days after hospitalized.

  • the duration of intensive care unit

    time for patients treatment in intensive care unit is patient total treated days in intensive care unit.

    Up to 8 weeks

  • the length of hospital stay

    time for patients treatment in hospital is patient total treated days in hosiptal. Index of treat effective and severity of disease.

    Up to 8 weeks

  • the day of mechanical ventilation

    time for patients need mechanical ventilation is the total days that patient need mechanical ventilation.

    Up to 8 weeks

  • the duration of septic shock

    The more severity patients had a long time during septic shock

    up to 8 weeks

  • the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhea

    The incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhea is the index of side effects of anti-infective treatment. The time frame started after the use of antibiotics, during the total hospitalized.

    up to 8 weeks

  • the incidence of new multi-drug resistant bacteria colonization or infection

    rate of multi-drug resistant bacteria colonization or infection is the index of side effects of anti-infective treatment. The time frame started after the use of antibiotics, during the total hospitalized.

    up to 8 weeks.

Study Arms (2)

experiment group

EXPERIMENTAL

Combined detection of PCR and CRISPR/Cas12a in alveolar lavage fluid to guide early target adjustment of antibiotics

Diagnostic Test: PCR-CRISPR/Cas12a detection

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Guide the target adjustment of antibiotics according to traditional microbiological detection methods

Interventions

Evaluate whether the combination of PCR and CRISPR/Cas12a detection of alveolar lavage fluid changes the choice of early antibiotics in patients with pneumonia in artificial airways, and whether it changes the prognosis compared with traditional pathogenic microbial detection techniques.
