Pharmacokinetics of Tamiflu® (Oseltamivir) in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)and or Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis (CVVHD)

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Critically Ill Renal Failure Requiring CVVHD and Oseltamivir
Critically Ill Requiring ECMO and Oseltamivir
Interventions
Procedure: pharmacokinetic blood sampling
Procedure: pharmacokinetic blood and dialysate sampling
Registration Number
NCT01048879
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

Critically ill patients with flu may receive a drug called oseltamivir. They may also receive medical therapies to support their lung function (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; ECMO) and kidney function (continuous venovenous hemodialysis; CVVHD). CVVHD and ECMO may remove some oseltamivir from the bloodstream. The purpose of this study is to determine how much oseltamivir gets removed by CVVHD or ECMO in critically ill patients.
