About this trial

Cefiderocol is a powerful, broad spectrum antibiotic approved to treat hospital-acquired or ventilator associated pneumonia and urinary tract infections. Although cefiderocol has labeled dosing recommendations, including augmented renal clearance, patients with burn injury remain an unstudied population at high risk for MDR pathogens. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic principles of cefiderocol in patients after acute burn injury. Findings from this study will determine the dose and interval necessary to maintain therapeutic concentrations of cefiderocol in patients after burn injury for adequate bactericidal activity, prevention of resistance, and treatment outcomes.

Appropriateness of package insert-stated dosing regimens

Steady state blood samples will be collected and analyzed to establish concentration time profiles. Models will be established using body size, renal function, and severity of injury. Dosing regimens will be constructed and tested via Monte Carlo simulation to determine the probability of cefiderocol regimen achieving the fT\>MIC threshold for P.aeruginosa at 75% and 100% fT\>MIC.
