About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics and Deposition of Commonly Prescribed Antibiotics in Hospitalized Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Renal Replacement Therapies

The study is aiming to describe the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of intravenous meropenem, ertapenem, cefepime, colistin, Ceftazidime/Avibactam , Ceftolozane/Tazobactam , and piperacillin/tazobactam in the plasma and determine how much is removed by Renal Replacement Therapies to ensure adequate dosing

Read the detailed description

This pharmacokinetic evaluation and clinical outcomes will be an open-label study of 12-16 adult patients/antibiotic dose/modality to a total number of 180-240 patients, admitted to the acute care levels or intensive care unit at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi receiving RRT and prescribed these seven antibiotics as recommended by their treating physicians. The collection of blood, ultrafiltrate or effluent fluids depending on RRT modality (HD or CRRT), and urine samples will begin after participants are administered first dose to determine if a loading dose will be required then after at least three doses (as prescribed by the treating physician) once these drugs will be at steady-state concentration. The study intervention duration will depend on dialysis modality expected to be 3 to 5 days depending on RRT modality and patients will be followed for outcomes (death or cure). Collected blood, effluent and urine samples will be assayed for drug concentration. The concentration data will be modeled by a computer program to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters used to predict future dosing in the case of RRT. Linear/logistic regression will be used as a component of statistical analysis to model the relationship between CRRT machine settings and the amount of the study drugs that will be removed by the filter. Information related to adverse events , clinical and microbiological cure will be collected in case report forms.

    Pharmacokinetics

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum antibiotic concentrations over time during dose interval

    Blood will be collected at designated time points, serum samples will be assayed for drug concentration over time to describe pharmacokinetic disposition

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Amount of antibiotic removed by dialysis

    Dialysate will be collected and assayed for drug concentration to determine the amount of drug cleared by RRT with respect to different dialysis modalities and membranes

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Time above minimum inhibitory concentration (T/MIC) for time dependent antibiotics

    Concentration/time data will be modeled mathematically (population pharmacokinetics and Monte Carlo simulation) to identify adequate dosing in this patient population

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Area under concentration time curve over minimum inhibitory concentration for (Cmax/MIC) for concentration dependent antibiotics

    Concentration/time data will be modeled mathematically (population pharmacokinetics and Monte Carlo simulation) to identify adequate dosing in this patient population

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Replacement Therapy, run by Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi at 1 site in United Arab Emirates.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 8 Feb 2023. 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 United Arab Emirates. 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 Wasim El Nekidy, PharmD (+971 2 6590200 ext. 47969, ElnekiW@ClevelandClinicAbuDhabi.ae), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum antibiotic concentrations over time during dose interval (time frame: 24 months). 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 8 Feb 2023.
