Trial summary

Daptomycin is an antibiotic that is affective against many strains of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. This antibiotic would be appropriate for use in the intensive care unit (ICU) considering the severity of illness and high risk for infection within this hospital environment.

About this study

Daptomycin is an antibiotic that is affective against many strains of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. This antibiotic would be appropriate for use in the intensive care unit (ICU) considering the severity of illness and high risk for infection within this hospital environment. While in the ICU, patients may develop acute renal failure. Approximately 75% of ICU patients who develop acute renal failure will require some form of renal replacement therapy until their kidneys recover. Continuous hemodialysis is becoming one of the most common forms of dialysis in the ICU as it is a gentle type of dialysis provided over longer periods of time. The current data demonstrating the ability of continuous hemodialysis to remove daptomycin from the body is derived from in-vitro trials. The purpose of this trial is to determine the extent of daptomycin removal from critically ill patients receiving continuous hemodialysis. Findings from this trial will be used to develop new dosing recommendations for daptomycin in continuous hemodialysis.

Read the detailed description

Daptomycin is a FDA approved antibiotic. This pharmacokinetic trial will monitor daptomycin drug concentrations during continuous hemodialysis. The daptomycin concentration profiles developed from this study will assist in developing a dose recommendation that will result in daptomycin levels that are safe and within therapeutic ranges, as previously identified, in critically ill patients with acute renal failure treated with continuous hemodialysis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DaptomycinDrug

    Also called Cubicin

    Daptomcyin 8 mg/kg infused intravenously every 48 hours

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Daptomycin Transmembrane Clearance by Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis

    Quantifies the rate of daptomcyin removal by continuous venovenous hemodialysis.

    Measured: From time of daptomycin administration to 48 hours post dose when subjects were also receiving continuous venovenous hemodialysis

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Daptomycin Dose Actually Administered

    Measured: Time of daptomycin administration

  2. Observed Daptomycin Peak Serum Concentration

    The maximum concentration of daptomycin in the body after receiving a dose of the drug. This was determined at the end of the daptomycin intravenous infusion at approximately 30 min.

    Measured: At the end of the daptomycin intravenous infusion (at approximately 30 minutes)

  3. Daptomycin Volume of Distribution at Steady State

    Volume of distribution quantifies the distribution of daptomycin between the blood and the rest of the body. The greater the volume of distribtion, the greater the extent of daptomycin distribution throughout the body.

    Measured: From time of daptomycin administration to 48 hours post dose

  4. Daptomycin Total Body Clearance

    Total body clearance represents the rate at which daptomycin is removed from the body. In patients treated with continuous venovenous hemodialysis, the major pathways of daptomycin removal likely are: removal by continuuous venovenous hemodialysis (transmembrane clearance) and breakdown by the liver.

    Measured: From time of daptomycin administration to 48 hours post dose when subjects were also receiving continuous venovenous hemodialysis

  5. Daptomycin Half-life

    Half-life describes the time it takes for the concentration of the daptomycin in the body to decrease by one half.

    Measured: From time of daptomycin administration to 48 hours post dose when subjects were also receiving continuous venovenous hemodialysis

  6. Daptomycin Free Fraction

    In the body, daptomcyin may be bound to proteins in the blood or it may not be bound to any proteins (also as the "free" component.) Free fraction describes the percent of daptomycin that is unbound or free. The unbound portion of daptomycin is able to kill bacteria.

    Measured: From time of daptomycin administration to 48 hours post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Daptomycin in people with Critically Ill and Hemodialysis, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Aug 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Daptomycin Transmembrane Clearance by Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis (time frame: From time of daptomycin administration to 48 hours post dose when subjects were also receiving continuous venovenous hemodialysis). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00663403, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Dec 2015.
