Pharmacokinetics and Optimal Dosing of Levetiracetam in Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (LEVCRRT)
Levetiracetam may be removed during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), potentially affecting drug concentrations and seizure control. The optimal dosing regimen for critically ill patients receiving CRRT remains unclear. This observational study will investigate the pharmacokinetics of levetiracetam in critically ill adult patients receiving CRRT. Blood, CRRT effluent, and urine samples will be collected throughout one dosing interval to measure levetiracetam concentrations. The data will be used to develop a population pharmacokinetic model and perform pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate dosing regimens and estimate the probability of achieving predefined drug concentration or exposure targets. The findings may help identify an appropriate levetiracetam dosing regimen for critically ill patients receiving CRRT.

Critically Ill Adult Patients Receiving Levetiracetam During CRRT
Critically ill adult patients aged 18 years or older admitted to ICUs who receive levetiracetam during CRRT. Eligible participants must have received CRRT for at least 24 hours and meet the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria. |
Levetiracetam administered as part of routine clinical care to critically ill adult patients receiving CRRT. The dose, dosing interval, and route of administration are determined by the treating physician. CRRT is prescribed and managed by the treating clinical team (nephrologist) as part of routine clinical care. The investigators do not assign or modify levetiracetam treatment or CRRT prescriptions for research purposes. Levetiracetam concentrations are measured in blood, CRRT effluent, and urine samples collected at protocol-specified time points to characterize its pharmacokinetic profile during CRRT. |

Probability of target attainment for simulated levetiracetam dosing regimens
Aikaikkuna: At completion of population pharmacokinetic model development and Monte Carlo simulations (approximately 23 months after study start).
|
Monte Carlo simulations based on the developed population pharmacokinetic model will be used to estimate the probability of target attainment (PTA) for each simulated levetiracetam dosing regimen. Target attainment will be evaluated according to the prespecified therapeutic concentration and AUC target criteria in the study protocol. Results will be reported as the probability or percentage of simulated patients achieving the target for each dosing regimen. |

IPD-suunnitelman kuvaus
The study team does not currently plan to share IPD with other researchers due to concerns regarding patient confidentiality, participant privacy, and the potential risk of re-identification. Access to study data will be restricted to researchers in the Pharmacometrics for Health Sciences Research Group, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, and individuals authorized in writing by the researchers. Any future proposal to share IPD will be reviewed for consistency with the informed consent, ethics committee requirements, institutional policies, and applicable laws.
