About this study

Official title: Anidulafungin Population Kinetics in the Intensive Care Population

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of anidulafungin in intensive care patients.

Read the detailed description

Not a lot is known about the pharmacokinetic profile of anidulafungin in IC-patients. IC-patients are at high(er) risk for getting a systemic mould/yeast infection. Anidulafungin is a safe echinocandin with, so far, no reported interactions and few adverse effects. Due to this, anidulafungin is used more often on IC-wards. It is part of the national (Netherlands) IC sepsis protocol. The factors that influence the pharmacokinetics of anidulafungin in IC-patients has not been studied yet. Because these factors are unknown for this population, it is necessary for this research to be done.

Any patient with an (suspected) invasive candidiasis whom is treated with anidulafunging can be includen.

20 patients will be included from 2 different university hospital (10 each). Samples will be taken on different days and timepoints, troughlevels on all treatment days and on treatment day 3 and 7 more samples will be taken voor AUC calculations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pharmacokinetic population model for anidulafungin for the ICU population

    The populationmodel will be created with NONMEM. The concentrations in the bloodsamples will be the input source for this model.

    Measured: 1 year, after inclusion of 20 patients

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time until clinical and microbiological response is reached

    Registration of time till response

    Measured: 1 year, after inclusion of 20 patients

  2. To determine the covariates that influence the kinetics of anidulafungin.

    With the help from modeling program NONMEM

    Measured: 1 year, after inclusion of 20 patients

  3. To determine the optimal dosage(scheme) for intensive care patients.

    Calculation of optimal dosage can be done by NONMEM.

    Measured: 1 year, after inclusion of 20 patients

  4. To determine which of the two ratios is the most predictive voor clinical outcome: AUC/MIC or Cmax/MIC.

    If the actual MIC is known, this can can be determined.

    Measured: 1 year, after inclusion of 20 patients

  5. Registration of side effects and adverse events

    To register safety od anidulafungin use on ICU

    Measured: 1 year, after inclusion of 20 patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Invasive Candidiasis and Candidemia, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Vera M Middel-Baars, PharmD (+31 20 4445282, v.middel-baars@vumc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetic population model for anidulafungin for the ICU population (time frame: 1 year, after inclusion of 20 patients). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01438216, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Sep 2011.
