About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of Anidulafungin (Ecalta ®) Given Intravenously as Prophylaxis to Obese Patients With Risk of Invasive Fungal Infection Undergoing Gastric Bypass Surgery.

Because anidulafungin is generally well tolerated and appears to have limited interaction with other drugs, it is a potential important agent in the treatment of invasive fungal infections. Although anidulafungin is approved for the treatment of invasive candidiasis in adult non-neutropenic patients, dosing guidelines for anidulafungin in (morbidly) obese patients are not available. Subsequently, the pharmacokinetic profile of anidulafungin (as well as other echinocandins) in this specific patient population is still largely unknown. During endoscopic gastric bypass surgery, patients are more prone to various kinds of infection, justifying the prophylactic use of anidulafungin in this specific cohort of patients.

To build a valid pharmacokinetic model, obese patients with a BMI ≥ 40 undergoing endoscopic gastric bypass surgery will receive a single dose of 100 mg anidulafungin (besides standard anti-bacterial prophylaxis) and a PK-curve will be drawn. These PK-values can then be compared to the pharmacokinetics in a normal-weight group.

Read the detailed description

All obese patients with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 undergoing endoscopic gastric bypass surgery who receive a prophylactic single dose of 100 mg anidulafungin will be included in the analysis. A PK curve will be determined after administration of anidulafungin at t=0.5, 1, end of infusion, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, and 48 and (if feasible) 72 hours post infusion (n=12 samples). Blood samples (4 mL) on PK days will be taken to obtain at least 2.0 mL of plasma.

What is being measured

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

  1. anidulafungin area under the curve

    The primary outcome measurement will be the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to infinitive (inf) post infusion (AUC0- inf) value of anidulafungin. This will be determined by use of the log-linear trapezoidal rule. Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) will be directly observed from the data. The elimination rate constant will be determined by linear regression of the terminal points of the log-linear plasma concentration time curve. Clearance (CL) will be calculated as dose/AUC0- inf.

    Measured: 0-72 h after single dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Predict long-term exposure after repeated dosing by using a pharmacokinetic model of anidulafunign in obese patients by using AUC(0-inf), Cmax, elimination half-life and clearance.

    Simulate pharmacokinetics of anidulafungin after obtaining all plasma concentrations using modeling software to predict long-term exposure. For this, area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to infinitive (inf) post infusion (AUC0- inf), peak plasma concentration (Cmax), elimination half-life and clearance values of anidulafungin will be used (as calculated in outcome measure 1). The PK curve of day 1-3 will serve to calculate these values.

    Measured: PK curve on day 1-3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Anidulafungin 100mg single dose iv in people with Obesity Morbid, run by Radboud University Medical Center 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 1 Dec 2020. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

anidulafungin area under the curve (time frame: 0-72 h after single dose). 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 NCT02021123, 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 1 Dec 2020.
