About this study

Official title: Population Pharmacokinetics of Cephalosporins and Macrolides in Children With Community Acquired Pneumonia

This study is based on the hypothesis that the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics in children is different from adults. Cephalosporins and macrolide antibiotics are the common drugs for children with community acquired pneumonia, the investigators aim to study the population pharmacokinetics of cephalosporins and macrolide antibiotics in children receiving the drug for treatment of community acquired pneumonia, and to correlate it with treatment effectiveness and incidence of adverse effects.

Potential Impact: This novel knowledge will allow better and more rational approaches to the treatment of community acquired pneumonia. It will also set the foundation for further studies that will be able to test improved therapies that may increase treatment response in vulnerable children.

What participants receive

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

  • Cephalosporins and Macrolide AntibioticsDrug

    Also called azithromycin, erythromycin, cefamandole, latamoxef

    The intervention drugs are prescribed by treating caregiver.

What is being measured

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

  1. maximum concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. time to achieve maximum concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  2. absorption rate constant (ka)

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  3. elimination rate constant (kel)

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  4. half-life (t1/2)

    Measured: up to 4 weeks
