Pharmacokinetics of Colistin in Critically-ill Patients With AKI Who Receive SLED
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Colistin was developed in the 1960s and preliminary pharmacokinetic studies were performed at that time. Dosing recommendations, on the basis of these pharmacokinetic studies, are listed in the drug's product information. However, there are no optimal dosing recommendations for patients with acute kidney injury who receive sustained low-efficiency dialysis. Furthermore, the science of antibiotic dosing ("pharmacodynamics") has changed significantly since the 1960s and it is quite possible that the dosing recommendations listed in the product information are not optimal. Furthermore, even though physicians refer to "colistin" administration, the only intravenous form of the drug is colistin methanesulfonate (CMS). CMS is converted in the body to colistin. Both CMS and colistin have different pharmacokinetic and antimicrobial activities. For this reason, we, the investigators at the Mahidol university, are performing a pharmacokinetic study of the intravenous CMS/colistin in patients requiring sustained low-efficiency dialysis. Plasma concentrations will be determined around a CMS/colistin dose once the drug has reached steady state. Microbiologic and clinical endpoints will be determined and will be correlated with these concentrations. The measurement of CMS and colistin levels will be determined by a laboratory in Australia.

Detailed Description
At baseline (upon signing informed consent), the following information will be collected:
Demographic data - age, sex, height, weight, state of birth, underlying illnesses, underlying infection, immunosuppression, antibiotic use, laboratory results, current medication use, any other prior medical problems/history and clinical outcomes.
The research coordinator will contact the patient on days 14, 28 and 90 days after the infection to determine clinical outcome. If the patient is still an inpatient the research coordinator will visit the patient in their hospital room to evaluate the patient's health status. This visit will take about 10 minutes. If the patient has been discharged from the hospital, the patient will be contacted by telephone by the research coordinator to determine the health status, if no recent electronic medical record exists. This telephone contact will take about 10 minutes.
Blood work and microbiologic samples to be collected:
Collection of ten samples of 4 mL blood each day during two days of colistin treatment (the dialysis day and non-dialysis day) of colistin therapy will occur. These samples will be collected:
immediately pre-dose, at the end of the colistin infusion, 60 minutes after the end of the colistin infusion, 2 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 5 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 8 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 12 hours after the end of the colistin infusion (or immediately prior to the next dose if the drug is being given every 12 hours).
13 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 16 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 20 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 24 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, Indwelling venous and arterial access lines, if already in place, will be utilized for the pharmacological study's blood draws.
On dialysis day, collection of dialysate fluid will also occur.
60 minutes after the end of the colistin infusion, 3 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 5 hours after the end of the colistin infusion, 7 hours after the end of the colistin infusion
Rationale: The samples will be utilized for quantification of plasma levels of colistin.
Collection of microbiologic samples within 48-96 hours of the initiation of colistin therapy. These samples are two sets of blood cultures if the patient had bacteremia, a sputum culture if the patient had pneumonia.
Rationale: These samples will be used to determine if there has been rapid bacteriologic clearance of infection.
The blood samples will be processed and stored in a -80° C freezer in a secured laboratory under the supervision of the principal investigator. These samples will then be sent to the laboratory of Drs Jian Li and Roger Nation in Melbourne, Australia, to determine the amount of colistin and CMS that reached the participant's blood following dose administration. All samples will be sent de-identified.
All samples will be analyzed to obtain the amount of colistin and CMS found in the blood. The biologic samples will be under the control of the principal investigator of this research project. To protect confidentiality, all personal identifiers (i.e., name, social security number, and birth date) will be removed (de-identified) and replaced with a specific code number. The information linking these code numbers to the corresponding subjects' identities will be kept in a separate, secure location.
Other items to be collected for study purposes:
An unopened vial of colistin from the same batch as used for the patient will be collected for analysis, so the actual dose of colistin can be calculated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Area under the concentration-time curve [AUC] [24 hours]
The area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) reflects the actual body exposure to colistin after administration of a dose of colistin and is expressed in mg*h/L. Predose, and 1, 2, 5, 8, 12 hours after administration
- Maximum Plasma Concentration [Cmax] [24 hours]
Cmax is the maximum (or peak) serum concentration that colistin achieves in a specified compartment or test area of the body after colistin has been administered and before the administration of a second dose. Predose, and 1, 2, 5, 8, 12 hours after administration.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Treatment-Related Adverse Events CTCAE v4.0 [14 days]
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0
