Study summary

The purpose of this study is to:

  1. Study the pharmacokinetics and safety of daptomycin in children on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD).
  2. Determine urine, HD and PD clearance of daptomycin.
Read the detailed description

Infectious and sepsis events are one of the most common complications in children with chronic kidney disease. The incidence is highest in children with an access for dialysis, especially in those with catheters. Staphylococcal species account for more than 50% of access infections (ranging from 58-77%). Failure to clear the infection results in loss of dialysis access.

Daptomycin is a new antibiotic that provides coverage against most gram positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant staphylococci, vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus, and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. The pharmacokinetics of daptomycin in children on dialysis, a group of patients who may need the medication the most, remains unknown.

Children on HD or PD with suspected or confirmed infections due to gram-positive bacteria and who are concurrently treated with standard of care antibiotics will be considered for this study. Each patient will be given a onetime dose of Cubicin (daptomycin). After receiving daptomycin, serial blood samples along with dialysis effluent and urine (obtained from non-anuric patients) will be collected to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug.

A telephone follow-up was also conducted by study personnel at Day 7, 14, 21 and 28 post study drug administration to continue follow-up of potential adverse events.. Non-serious events are listed at a 0% frequency threshold.
