Overview

The investigator's purpose is to study the population pharmacokinetics of commonly used antimicrobial agents in children of bacterial meningitis with augmented renal clearance and assess dosage individualization feasibility.

Description

The investigator's purpose is to study the population pharmacokinetics of meropenem, vancomycin, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, ceftizoxime and linezolid in children of bacterial meningitis with augmented renal clearance and assess dosage individualization feasibility. In this study, the investigator will detect drug concentration in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid to construct population pharmacokinetics.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children have been diagnosed with bacterial meningitis with augmented renal clearance (eGFR ≥ 160 mL/(min*1.73m2));
  • Age: 2 months-18 years;
  • Meropenem, vancomycin, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, ceftizoxime and/ or linezolid used as part of regular treatment;
  • Meropenem, vancomycin, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, ceftizoxime and linezolid was administered intravenously.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who die within the treatment cycle;
  • Severe congenital malformation;
  • Receive other systemic experimental drug therapy;
  • Other factors that the researchers consider unsuitable for inclusion.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
