What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to Infinity

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity for daptomycin doses

    Time frame: Within 30 minutes prior to the start of the infusion, mid-infusion, and end of the infusion; at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 24, and 48 hours after the end of the infusion; and just prior to the next hemodialysis session (i.e., 68 hours post-infusion)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Safety was monitored throughout the study, including observation and reports of AEs as well as changes in physical findings, vital signs, ECGs, and laboratory tests.

    Time frame: Up to 9 days after the last dose of study drug administration (Day 13 to Day 17 for those dosed on Day 8 and Day 20 to Day 24 for those dosed on Day 15).

Other outcomes

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration

    Maximum plasma concentration over the entire sampling phase directly obtained from the experimental plasma concentration time data, without interpolation.

    Time frame: Within 30 minutes prior to the start of the infusion, mid-infusion, and end of the infusion; at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 24, and 48 hours after the end of the infusion; and just prior to the next hemodialysis session (i.e., 68 hours post-infusion)

  2. Time to Maximum Concentration

    Sampling time at which maximum plasma concentration occurred, obtained directly from the experimental plasma concentration time data, without interpolation.

    Time frame: Up to 68 hours post dose

  3. Half-life

    Apparent terminal half-life.

    Time frame: Up to 68 hours post dose

  4. Clearance of Daptomycin

    Plasma clearance is dose (µg) divided by area under the concentration versus time curve from time 0 to last quantifiable concentration time.

    Time frame: Up to 68 hours post dose

  5. Volume of Distribution

    Volume of distribution at steady state (mL) calculated as the product of clearance and mean residence time.

    Time frame: Up to 68 hours post dose
