About this study

Official title: A Population PK Study Into Teicoplanin in Intensive Care and Haematology Patients - a Strategy Towards Model Informed Precision Dosing

Characterize teicoplanin PK in critically ill patients with a specific focus on alterations of exposure due to variability in renal function.

In a prospective, observational, open-label study the investigators aim to define PK of free drug concentrations of teicoplanine in ICU and heamatology patients and define a PK model for Bayesian dose individualization.

Read the detailed description

Bacterial infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) or methicillin resistant and sensitive staphylococcus aureus(MRSA/MSSA) indicates poor prognosis and increased mortality in critically ill patients.

With the current emergence of glycopeptide-intermediate sensitive Staphylococcus aureus strains, personalized dosing of teicoplanin is of utmost importance to preserve the current therapeutic armamentarium.

Teicoplanin is considered equipotent to vancomycin, albeit safer with minimal nephrotoxicity. It is estimated that 50% of all critically ill patients treated with teicoplanin does not reach target exposure. This is the major driver for treatment failure and development of resistance and dose individualization will overcome this problem.

Our project is aimed at developing and implementing a personalized dosing strategy for teicoplanin, to prevent development of glycopeptide resistance and allow safe treatment of glycopeptide intermediate sensitive bacteria.

In a prospective clinical study, critically ill patients (defined as ICU and hematology patients) who receive teicoplanin as standard care for antimicrobial treatment will be eligible for inclusion. Minimally invasive blood sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis will be retrieved through an indwelling central venous catheter or an arterial line (9 samples per patient). Teicoplanin total and free drug concentrations will be measured using a validated analytical assay. A total of 30 patients will be included.

We will develop a population PK model using nonlinear mixed effects modelling for total and unbound teicoplanin to characterize the magnitude of inter-individual variability in PK parameters (clearance, distribution volume), and to identify patient-derived characteristics that can predict such variability in a critically ill patient population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bacterial Infections, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site 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 2 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 31 Jan 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 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?

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?

Total drug clearance (time frame: 4 days). 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 31 Jan 2023.
