NCT03113344

Brief Summary

This study is based on the hypothesis that the pharmacokinetics of anti-infective drugs in children are different from adults. We aim to study the population pharmacokinetics of children receiving the anti-infective drugs for treatment of infectious diseases. In this study, we will detect drug concentration in plasma by using residual blood samples of blood gas analysis and other clinical tests and employ computers for constructing population pharmacokinetic models. In addition, we also want to correlate use of anti-infective drugs with treatment effectiveness and incidence of adverse effects in children. This novel knowledge will allow better and more rational approaches to the treatment of infectious diseases in children. It will also set the foundation for further studies to improve anti-infective drug therapies for children.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • maximum concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax is a term used in pharmacokinetics refers to the maximum (or peak) serum concentration that a drug achieves in a specified compartment or test area of the body after the drug has been administrated and before the administration of a second dose.

    up to 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • time to achieve maximum concentration (Tmax)

    up to 4 weeks

  • absorption rate constant (ka)

    up to 4 weeks

  • elimination rate constant (kel)

    up to 4 weeks

  • half-life (t1/2)

    up to 4 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Children with the usage of anti-infective drugs

Drug: cephalosporins,penicillins,macrolides,carbapenems and antiviral drugs

Interventions

According to the models of population pharmacokinetics,the investigators and want to correlate use of antibiotics with treatment effectiveness and safety in children.

Also known as: latamoxef, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, ampicillin, penicillin, amoxicillin, erythromycin, azithromycin, meropenem, imipenem, ganciclovir, acyclovir
Children with the usage of anti-infective drugs

Study Population

Children with anti-infectious therapies.

You may qualify if:

  • Children (0-18 years old) with anti-infective therapy against infectious diseases.
  • The anti-infective therapy includes drugs commonly used in children infectious diseases, for example, cephalosporins (such as latamoxef, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and so on), penicillins (such as penicillin, amoxicillin, ampicillin and so on), macrolides (such as erythromycin, azithromycin and so on), carbapenems (sucn as meropenem, imipenem and so on) and antiviral drugs (such as ganciclovir, acyclovir and so on).
  • Children infectious diseases include pneumonia, sepsis, purulent meningitis and other diseases with infection.
  • Informed consent signed by the parents and/or guardians.

You may not qualify if:

  • Anti-infective drugs aren't involved in the therapies of children.
  • It is unable to provide complete medical records or the current condition cannot accept the study process.
  • Patients are allergic to anti-infective drugs.
  • Parents and/or guardians do not agree to participate in this study.
