New treatment option for Bacterial Infection
Official title Optimization of Beta-lactam Dosing in Critically Ill Patients With Cystatin C (OPTIMIZE-GNI)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06709521
What this study is testing
What is Iohexol?
Iohexol is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for bacterial infection.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a Phase 4, interventional, multi-center pharmacokinetics (PK) study in up to 200 adult patients who are residing in an ICU. This study will compare the abilities of Cystatin C (CysC) and CysC-based estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) equations to characterize the PK profiles of meropenem and cefepime relative to Serum Creatinine (SCR), Serum Creatinine based Equation (SCRE), and iohexol in critically ill patients with suspected or documented AMR Gram-negative infections.
