Effect of Dialysis on the Pharmacokinetics of Telavancin in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
End-Stage Renal Disease
Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease
Interventions
Procedure: Pharmacokinetic Blood Sampling
Registration Number
NCT02392208
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 (CKD5) patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis are at an increased risk for developing bloodstream infections. Vancomycin is traditionally used as first-line therapy for treating these infections, but the emergence of less-susceptible bacterial strains necessitates the consideration of alternative antibiotic therapy. Telavancin is a new antibiotic that has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria, including vancomycin-intermediate staphylococcus aureus. While dosing recommendations for telavancin are available for patients with normal kidney function, there are no published recommendations for CKD5 patients receiving hemodialysis. A pharmacokinetic study is needed to characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of telavancin in these patients to determine the extent of drug removal by hemodialysis and to establish dosing recommendations for CKD5 patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
