description | A recent consensus guideline recommends migrating the therapeutic drug monitoring practice for intravenous vancomycin for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection from the traditional trough-based approach to the Bayesian approach based on area under curve to improve clinical outcomes. To support the implementation of the new strategy for hospitals under Hospital Authority, Hong Kong, this study is being proposed to (1) estimate and validate a population pharmacokinetic model of intravenous vancomycin for local adults, (2) develop a web-based individual dose optimization application for clinical use, and (3) evaluate the performance of the application by comparing the treatment outcomes and clinical satisfaction against the traditional approach. 300 adult subjects prescribed with intravenous vancomycin and not on renal replacement therapy will be recruited for population pharmacokinetic model development and validation. Sex, age, body weight, serum creatinine level, intravenous vancomycin dosing records, serum vancomycin concentrations etc. will be collected from several electronic health record systems maintained by Hospital Authority. Parameter estimation will be performed using non-linear mixed-effect modeling techniques. The web-based individual dose optimization application is based on a previously reported application and is built using R and the package shiny. Data from another 50 subjects will be collected during the last three months of the study period and treated as informed by the developed application and compared against historical control for clinical outcomes. Since the study will incur extra blood-taking procedures from patients, informed consent is required. Other than that, recruited subjects should receive medical treatments as usual. Identifiable patient data will be available only to site investigators and clinicians in each hospital. The study protocol and informed consent forms have been approved by the Joint Chinese University of Hong Kong-New Territories East Cluster Clinical Research Ethics Committee (reference number: NTEC-2021-0215) and registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number: ChiCTR2100048714). |
