This prospective, multi-center study aims to determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of extended-infusion cefepime in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
This prospective, multi-center study aims to determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of extended-infusion cefepime in CRRT. Patients on CRRT who are being initiated on cefepime 2000 mg IV every eight hours with a four-hour infusion will be considered for enrollment. Pre- and post-membrane serum levels will be drawn at scheduled intervals for both the first dose and again during another dose at steady state. Concomitant effluent and urine levels will also be obtained. A pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed and Monte Carlo simulations will be used to determine the probability of target attainment for various pharmacodynamic endpoints. Documented organism MICs will be used to determine the cumulative fraction of response.

| Composite pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of extended-infusion cefepime in CRRT | Each patient will have samples collected on both the first dose and another dose at presumed steady state (dose four, five, or six) to determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of extended-infusion cefepime in CRRT. Pharmacokinetic outcomes calculated include half life, volume of distribution, and area under the plasma concentration versus time curve. Sieving and saturation coefficients will also be calculated as appropriate. Time above the minimum inhibitory concentration will be the primary pharmacodynamic outcome studied. | up to 12 months |

Samples that are being collected are as follows: serum, continuous renal replacement therapy effluent, and urine (if patient is making urine during sample collection). Drug assays will be performed for each sample and samples will be disposed of after the final analysis is complete. The assays are not interventional and patient care does not change as a result of study enrollment.
