Impact of Capillary Leak and Hypoalbuminemia on PK/PD of Anidulafungin and Caspofungin in Critically Ill Patients

July 2, 2024 updated by: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
This prospective study will explore the pharmacokinetic exposure and pharmacodynamics of the echinocandins (caspofungin or anidulafungin) in critically ill patients.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This non-randomized, monocenter pharmacokinetic study will be carried out in critically ill patients receiving multiple dose treatment with echinocandins (caspofungin or anidulafungin).

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the echinocandins in plasma and BAL will be determined. Especially, the relative contributions of two pathophysiological alterations (capillary leak and hypoalbuminemia) encountered in critically ill patients, will be explored.

Also other correlating covariates will be identified to provide a rationale for optimal dosing strategy in critically ill patients.

Study Type

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
