Study summary

This prospective study will research the exposure and its variability to fluconazole after longitudinal administration in critically ill patients

Read the detailed description

An open label, monocenter pharmacokinetic study will be carried out in critically ill patients, admitted at the University Hospitals Leuven, receiving multiple dose treatment with fluconazole.

The exposure to fluconazole in the ICU cohort over multiple days of treatment will be documented. Moreover, variability and the correlating covariates that can influence the fluconazole concentration, will be determined.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Exposure to fluconazole (trough levels)

    To document the trough levels (Cmin) of fluconazole in an ICU cohort over multiple days of treatment

    Time frame: On the day of sampling

  2. Exposure to fluconazole (trough levels)

    Determine if the Cmin target levels are attained.

    Time frame: June 2020

Secondary outcomes

  1. Variability in fluconazole trough levels

    To determine the intra-and intersubject variability of the fluconazole trough levels

    Time frame: June 2020

  2. Influencing covariates

    Determine possible covariates that might explain the fluconazole variability

    Time frame: June 2020
