About this study

Official title: Ceftaroline Pharmacokinetics in Critically Ill Patients Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

Dosing of ceftaroline in patients with chronic kidney disease is defined, but there is no data on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The purpose of this study is to determine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ceftaroline in a critically ill patient population receiving CRRT, in order to define a dosing recommendation in this population.

Read the detailed description

Ceftaroline fosamil is a time-dependent, hydrophilic, bactericidal fifth generation cephalosporin that was FDA approved in 2010 for community acquired pneumonia and skin and skin structure infections. Ceftaroline is FDA approved for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Gram-positive organisms covered are Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin resistant and methicillin sensitive strains), Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumonia, and Streptococcus pyogenes. Gram-negative coverage includes Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenza, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Klebsiella oxytoca. In order for ceftaroline to exhibit effective bacterial killing, it requires that a certain percentage of the dosing interval is spent above the MIC.

Dosing of ceftaroline in patients with chronic kidney disease is defined, but there is no data on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The purpose of this study is to determine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ceftaroline in a critically ill patient population receiving CRRT, in order to define a dosing recommendation in this population. CRRT modes that patients may be receiving in this trial include: continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH), continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD), and continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ceftaroline levels in CRRT in people with Infection During Renal Replacement Therapy and Critically Ill, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 18 Mar 2021. 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 States. 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?

Ceftaroline pharmacokinetics in critically ill patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy - Half-life (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Mar 2021.
