Impact of a TDM-guided ECPA Program for Optimizing Pharmacodynamic Target Attainment of Continuous Infusion Beta-lactam-based Regimen
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Previous studies have clearly demonstrated a significant impact of optimised antibiotic therapy based on a TDM-guided approach in reducing the clinical and microbiological failure rate and in improving the achievement of an optimal pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target. However, no study has yet evaluated this aspect in the specific scenario of liver transplant patients with documented infections with Gram-negative pathogens.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Verify if the attainment of optimal beta-lactam PK/PD targets improves the rate of microbiological eradication in OLT recipients with documented Gram-negative infections — At 30-days from starting antibiotic therapy
Microbiological eradication, defined as the absence of the index pathogen from the primary site of infection in at least two subsequent assessments Dichotomous variable (yes/no) - Verify if the attainment of optimal beta-lactam PK/PD targets improves the rate of clinical cure in OLT recipients with documented Gram-negative infections — At 30-days from starting antibiotic therapy
Clinical cure, defined as complete resolution of signs and symptoms of the infection coupled with documented microbiological eradication at the end of treatment and the absence of recurrence or relapse at 30-day Dichotomous variable (yes/no)
