About this study

Official title: Target Attainment and Pharmacokinetics of Antimicrobials in Non-critically Ill Surgery Patients

In this prospective observational study, the investigators want to document pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment of frequently used antimicrobials in an adult non critically ill surgery population (abdominal surgery, traumatology and septic orthopedic surgery). Furthermore, the investigators want to identify risk factors for not attaining predefined PK/PD targets.

The antibiotics of interest are amoxicillin(-clavulanic acid), flucloxacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem and clindamycin.

Read the detailed description

In this research proposal, the primary objective is to describe PK parameters (area under the curve (AUC), clearance (Cl), distribution volume (Vd) and half life (T1/2)) for the antibiotics of interest (amoxicillin(-(clavulanic acid), flucloxacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem and clindamycin) for this adult non critically ill surgery population.

Besides, the investigators want to document pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment of frequently used ABs in this population and to identify risk factors, for example augmented renal clearance (ARC), for not attaining predefined PK/PD targets.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • amoxicillin-clavulanic acidDrug

    Also called meropenem, flucloxacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, clindamycin

    During one dosing interval at steady state of the involved antimicrobials (ABs), AB plasma concentrations will be determined.

    Besides, the measured creatinine clearance based on an 8-hour urinary collection (CrCl8h) will be used as the primary method for determining kidney function. Based on these values, CrCl8h will be calculated according to the standard formula and normalized to a body surface area (BSA) of 1.73m² .

What is being measured

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

  1. The % of time that free concentrations of antimicrobials are above minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) or antimicrobial European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) breakpoints

    Per antimicrobial of interest, we will determine the % of time that free concentrations are above minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) or antimicrobial EUCAST breakpoints

    Measured: During 1 dosing interval at steady state. This is at earliest 72h after initialization of the antimicrobial.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC)

    Per antimicrobial of interest, we will determine the pharmacokinetic parameter the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC).

    Measured: During 1 dosing interval at steady state. This is at earliest 72h after initialization of the antimicrobial.

  2. Clearance (Cl)

    Per antimicrobial of interest, we will determine the pharmacokinetic parameter clearance (Cl).

    Measured: During 1 dosing interval at steady state. This is at earliest 72h after initialization of the antimicrobial.

  3. Volume of distribution (Vd)

    Per antimicrobial of interest, we will determine the pharmacokinetic parameter the volume of distribution (Vd).

    Measured: During 1 dosing interval at steady state. This is at earliest 72h after initialization of the antimicrobial.

  4. Half life (T1/2)

    Per antimicrobial of interest, we will determine the pharmacokinetic parameter the half life (T1/2).

    Measured: During 1 dosing interval at steady state. This is at earliest 72h after initialization of the antimicrobial.

  5. Risk factors for target non attainment

    Multivariate analysis will be performed with target attainment as outcome. This will allow to identify risk factors for target non attainment.

    Measured: During 1 dosing interval at steady state. This is at earliest 72h after initialization of the antimicrobial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgery, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 20 Apr 2017. 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 Belgium. 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 Peter Declercq, PharmD (003216342340, peter.declercq@uzleuven.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The % of time that free concentrations of antimicrobials are above minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) or antimicrobial European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) breakpoints (time frame: During 1 dosing interval at steady state. This is at earliest 72h after initialization of the antimicrobial.). 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 20 Apr 2017.
