What is being measured

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

  1. Time duration for concentration of vancomycin to reach target trough of 15-20 mg/L

    Measured: Peak level drawn 1 hour after the completion of loading dose. Sequential trough level drawn 30 min before each standard dose for the next 4 doses.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse event rate in each arm, including nephrotoxicity and rash.

    Measured: 7 days post-treatment

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?

Time duration for concentration of vancomycin to reach target trough of 15-20 mg/L (time frame: Peak level drawn 1 hour after the completion of loading dose. Sequential trough level drawn 30 min before each standard dose for the next 4 doses.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
