Cefepime

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Cefepime is an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections. It was developed in 1994 and works by killing bacteria that cause infections. Cefepime is more effective than third-generation antibiotics and can be used to treat pneumonia, infections caused by resistant bacteria, and low white blood cell counts.

How Maxipime Affects Patients

Cefepime is an antibiotic that is used to treat certain types of bacterial infections. It is effective against both Gram-positive (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (e.g. Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. It is not affected by certain enzymes that break down other antibiotics, giving it an advantage over other antibiotics. To be effective, the amount of cefepime in the patient's system needs to be higher than the amount of bacteria. Studies have shown that it can cross the blood-brain barrier and can also

How Maxipime works in the body

Cefepime kills bacteria by targeting proteins responsible for building bacterial cell walls. These proteins, known as penicillin-binding proteins, are disrupted by Cefepime, which causes the cell wall to weaken and the bacteria to die. Cefepime is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It has a particularly strong affinity for three types of penicillin-binding proteins in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as two types of proteins in Enterobacter cloacae.

Optimized Beta-lactam Dosing for Bacterial Infections

Torrance, CA

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the abilities of Cystatin C (CysC) and CysC-based estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) equations to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of meropenem and cefepime relative to Serum Creatinine (SCR), Serum Creatinine based Equation (SCRE)and iohexol at the population and individual levels in critically ill adult patients with suspected or documented AMR Gram-negative infections. We hypothesize that CysC and CysC-based eGFR equations will characterize the PK profiles of meropenem and cefepime at the population and individual levels with greater accuracy and precision than SCR and SCREs. Iohexol will be administered to patients enrolled in the study and serve as the reference indicator of measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR), which is the gold standard assessment of kidney function. We hypothesize that the predictive performances of CysC and CysC-based eGFR equations in estimating the PK profiles of meropenem and cefepime at the population and individual levels will be comparable to iohexol. The information obtained in this study will be used to develop PK/pharmacodynamics (PD) optimized meropenem and cefepime dosing schemes based on the renal function biomarker population PK (PopPK) model with the best predictive performance for clinical use in the treatment of critically ill adult patients with suspected or documented AMR Gram-negative infections and varying degrees of renal function. The primary objective of this study is to compare the abilities of renal function biomarkers (CysC, CysC-based eGFR equations, SCR, SCREs) relative to iohexol to characterize the PK profiles of meropenem and cefepime in critically ill adult patients with suspected or documented AMR Gram-negative infections.

Alio Smart Patch Monitoring for Cancer Patients

18 - 65
All Sexes
Cleveland, OH

Undergoing cancer treatment comes with various risks and side effects. This clinical trial aims to reduce those risks and side effects through continuous monitoring of vital signs and blood levels. The goal is to see if potential side effects can be identified and treated sooner. During this study, participants will wear an Alio Smartpatch™. The Alio Smartpatch™ is a wireless remote monitoring system. This device will measure participants' vital signs and blood levels. Participants will also be asked to use continuous glucose monitors to measure their glucose levels. The data collected on each participant from these devices will be remotely monitored at all times by clinical staff at a company known as Quantify Remote Care. If a participant's results look like they are experiencing a side effect, the participant will be contacted immediately by Quantify Remote Care team. The Quantify Remote Care team will function as an extension of the participant's cancer clinical team and will relay any significant issues back to them. Quantify Health also provides dietary and mental health support as needed for all participants.

Antibiotics for Cat Bite Injuries

18+
All Sexes
Columbia, MO

Cat bites are puncture wounds that have the potential to seed bacteria deep within the joint capsule, periosteum, and bone. The hand is the most common site of bite injuries. Pasteurella multocida is the is the most common organism isolated from the mouths of cats that can cause infections after a bite. Prophylactic antibiotics are often recommended with amoxicillin-clavulanate for 3-5 days to decrease the incidence of developing an infection. However, only one randomized controlled clinical trial consisting of 12 patients has been performed to justify this course of treatment, raising the possibility that the use of antibiotics could be reduced or even eliminated. Investigators will compare different durations of prophylactic antibiotics and a placebo control for cat bites to the hand/forearm presenting to the Emergency Department, Urgent Care, Plastic Surgery Clinic using a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Participants presenting to the University of Missouri Hospital Emergency Department, Missouri University (MU) Healthcare Urgent Care, Plastic Surgery Clinic over the next year will be offered the chance to enroll if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. For inclusion, participants will be \>18 years of age, have cat bites to the hand or distal to elbow, and present within 24 hours of the cat bite injury. Participants must not present with active local or systemic infections, have received antibiotics within the past 30 days, or be immunocompromised (primary and secondary immunodeficiencies). Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment arms (placebo; amoxicillin-clavulanate 1 day; amoxicillin-clavulanate 5 days). Outcomes are the development of an infection at the location of the cat bite and/or systemic infection, adverse effects of interventions, disability assessed by Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) scores, and quality of life (QOL) assessed by HAND Questionnaire (HAND-Q) scores. Infection will be assessed at day 0, day 2, day 7+/-2, day 14+/-2, and day 30+/-2 by vital signs, laboratory values, physical examination and with an infrared and digital camera. All measures will be within the standard of care, apart from the infrared camera, QuickDASH, and HAND-Q scores. The anatomic locations of cat bites to the hand/forearm will be assessed for correlations with infections.

Short Antibiotic Treatment for Febrile Neutropenia

18+
All Sexes
Edmonton, Canada

Infections are a common complication in patients with cancer. They are a significant cause of complications and death in this population. Patients with cancer and low neutrophil counts due to chemotherapy or disease often have a fever and receive antibiotic treatment. The optimal duration of this treatment is largely unknown. Late, there have been some data suggesting the safety of early discontinuation of antibiotics, though most centers still give more prolonged antibiotic therapies in this situation. The unnecessary prolonged antibiotic use may increase infections with multi-drug-resistant bacteria, which carry a high death rate. Also, an increase in infections caused by Clostridioides difficile and an increase in fungal infections can happen. However, some are concerned that stopping antibiotics while the neutrophil count is still low will result in life-threatening infections. Our study aims to test whether shorter antibiotic treatment in these situations is as safe as more prolonged treatment, resulting in better antibiotic prescription practices in this population.
