Clinical Trial: Pilot Study of the Effectiveness of Probiotics and Lactitol for the Decolonization of OXA-48 (Carbapenemase) Producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae Among Rectal Carriers
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Pilot Study of the Effectiveness of Probiotics and Lactitol for the Intestinal Decolonization of People Carriers of Klebsiella Pneumoniae Producers of Carbapenemase OXA-48
Brief Summary:
The combination of Lactitol and Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus Biphidus) administered orally is an effective strategy of intestinal decolonization of Enterobacter produced OXA-48-type carbapenemase.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Lactitol and Probiotics for the intestinal decolonization of people who carried Klebsiella pneumoniae produced OXA-48-type Carbapenemase.
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz
Current Primary Outcome: Evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of lactitol and probiotics, administered orally to achieve intestinal decolonization of KP-OXA-48 in people. [ Time Frame: Six weeks ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Evaluate the effectiveness of lactitol and probiotics administered orally for intestinal decolonization of KPOXA -48 in people. [ Time Frame: Three weeks and six weeks ]In people at the time of the end of treatment (End of treatment Response) and 3 weeks after end of treatment (Short-term response).
- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of lactitol and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum ) measured by the increase of diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal pain, loss of appetite and weight loss [ Time Frame: Three weeks ]
- Analyze the effect of the combination of lactitol and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum ) administered orally on intestinal microbiota of carriers of KP- OXA -48 [ Time Frame: Three weeks ]
- Evaluate the time from the start of treatment with lactitol and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum ) to intestinal decolonization in those patients who achieved sustained response. [ Time Frame: Six weeks ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
