Safety and Efficacy of Strategy to Prevent Drug-Induced Nephrotoxicity in High-Risk Patients

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose For more than fifty years, vancomycin has been cited as a nephrotoxic agent. Reports of vancomycin induced kidney injury (a.k.a vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity or VIN), have waxed and waned throughout the years for various reasons. Recently, VIN has reemerged as a clinical concern. This may be due to various reasons, including new dosing recommendations as well as an increased prevalence of risk factors associated with vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity. This study aims to evaluate a strategy which attempts to reduce kidney damage from vancomycin use.

Current Primary Outcome MeasuresNephrotoxicity [Time Frame: Day 1 and daily serum creatinine assessment up to date of discharge] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Increase in SCr of 0.5 mg/dL or 50% above baseline for at least two consecutive days.
This measure will be reported as proportion of patients with nephrotoxicity within each group in relation to the number of patients in each group.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Acute Kidney Injury Network Modified Definition of Nephrotoxicity [Time Frame: Day 1 and daily serum creatinine assessment up to date of discharge] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]An abrupt (within 48 hour) reduction in kidney function with one or more of the following 1) Increase in SCr ≥ 0.3 mg/dL 2) Increase SCr ≥ 50% or 3) Decreased urine output (< 0.5 ml/kg/hr x 6 hrs).
    This measure will be reported as proportion of patients with acute kidney injury within each group in relation to the number of patients in each group.
  • Clinical Success [Time Frame: Daily assessment of signs and symptoms of infection] [Designated as safety issue: No]Clinical success is a composite endpoint of those patients with clinical cure or improvement in clinical signs and symptoms of infection (i.e. SIRS criteria, and microbiology).
    This measure will be reported as the proportion of patients with clinical success in each group compared to the the total number of patients in the group.

vancomycin induced kidney injury (a.k.a vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity or VIN), have
waxed and waned throughout the years for various reasons. Recently, VIN has reemerged as a

as well as an increased prevalence of risk factors associated with vancomycin induced
