Trial 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. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of Tamiflu® (Oseltamivir) in Patients Receiving CVVHD and/or ECMO

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.

Being tested
pharmacokinetic blood sampling, pharmacokinetic blood and dialysate sampling
Keywords
oseltamivir, influenza, continuous renal replacement therapy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, pharmacokinetics
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis (CVVHD)Oseltamivir Carboxylate Transmembrane Clearance

    Measured: 12 hours

  2. Oseltamivir Carboxylate Removal by ECMO

    Mean percent change in oseltamivir carboxylate concentration pre- and post-oxygenator.

    Measured: 12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing pharmacokinetic blood sampling and pharmacokinetic blood and dialysate sampling in people with Critically Ill Renal Failure Requiring CVVHD and Oseltamivir and Critically Ill Requiring ECMO and Oseltamivir, 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 21 Aug 2012. 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 21 Aug 2012). 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?

Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis (CVVHD)Oseltamivir Carboxylate Transmembrane Clearance (time frame: 12 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01048879, 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 21 Aug 2012.
