Completed
Conditions
Kidney Failure, Chronic
Antibiotics
Hemodialysis
Interventions
Other: Blood and urine sampling
Registration Number
NCT03909698
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Ghent
Brief Summary

The adequacy of the currently used dosing regimen of glycopeptides (vancomycin and teicoplanin) and beta-lactam antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidim) in patients with end-stage kidney disease receiving intermittent hemodialysis is studied by evaluating pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) target attainment. A population pharmacokinetic study is performed to assist the selection of the optimal individualized dose for patients undergoing intermittent dialysis, taking into consideration as many relevant variables as possible.

GroupInterventionDescription
Hemodialysis patients on teicoplaninBlood and urine samplingThe antibiotic administration protocol is not changed for this study. From the first administration on, administrations (dosage and duration) are well documented. Blood samples are taken as peak, distribution and trough samples during at least 24 or 48 hours. During the first dialysis session after study start, blood samples are also taken from the arterial and venous blood line simultaneously and at different dialysis time points, to calculate dialyzer extraction ratio. When appropriate, urine is collected during a documented period. During the second dialysis after study start, arterial and venous samples are taken for different dialysis settings, in order to calculate extraction ratios for different settings. All blood and urine samples are analyzed for teicoplanin.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Blood concentrations with maximal antimicrobial activity versus current dosing regimens for vancomycin9/2016 - 12/2021

Measured free and total concentration of the glycopeptide vancomycin is compared to predefined pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) targets:

Area Under the Curve (AUC) from 0-24h in steady-state divided by the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the suspected pathogen should be \>=400 for vancomycin.

Pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in patients undergoing intermittent hemodialysis9/2016 - 12/2021

Population pharmacokinetic modeling is performed based on the measured amoxicillin-clavulanic acid concentrations, to end up with a calibrated kinetic model. The model is fitted on the measured amoxicillin-clavulanic acid concentrations in order to determine the model parameters: distribution volume and (inter)dialytic elimination rate constant and clearance.
