Trial summary

1. Sustained low efficiency daily hemodiafiltration(SLEDD-f) is a kind of renal replacement therapy with high-flux dialyser membrane (helixone). 2. The pore size of helixone is larger than most antibiotics, and vancomycin is supposed to be removed during dialysis. 3. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics and Dosing of Vancomycin in Sustained Low Efficiency Daily Hemodiafiltration (SLEDD-f)

  1. Sustained low efficiency daily hemodiafiltration(SLEDD-f) is a kind of renal replacement therapy with high-flux dialyser membrane (helixone).
  2. The pore size of helixone is larger than most antibiotics, and vancomycin is supposed to be removed during dialysis.
  3. Our study wants to find the amount of vancomycin removed during SLEDD-f, and try to find the most appropriate dose regimen for this kind of patients.
Read the detailed description

Vancomycin is the most important antibiotic in the treatment of resistant G(+) bacteria infections. Close monitor of serum level is important to ensure its safety and effectiveness. So far there is not enough data to support the optimal dose regimen of vancomycin in patients on SLEDD-f. In this study, we draw blood levels between 2 doses of vancomycin to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of vancomycin and fraction removed by SLEDD-f so as to determine the most appropriate dose regimen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Renal Failure, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The amount of vancomycin removed during one course of SLEDD-f (time frame: 8 hr (during one course of SLEDD-f)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Oct 2009.
