An Open Label Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Single Dose Intravenous Azithromycin in Preterm Neonates

Bacterial Infection Clinical Trial

Official title:
An Open Label Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Single Dose Intravenous Azithromycin in Preterm Neonates Pediatric Pharmacology Research Unit, Children's Hospital of Michigan

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single dose of IV azithromycin in preterm neonates and confirm that the pharmacokinetics of azithromycin is similar in the 24-<32 week and 32-<37 week neonate. The dose of 10 mg/kg has been chosen on the basis of previous pediatric pharmacokinetic studies.

Clinical Trial Description

In vitro studies with azithromycin show good inhibitory activity against U. urealyticum. Pharmacokinetic studies of azithromycin in older children show better tolerance, higher tissue concentration, fewer side effects, and fewer drug interactions, when compared to erythromycin. Thus far, there have been no published data on the pharmacokinetic profile of azithromycin in neonates including low birth weight infants. However, the clinical pharmacology profile suggests a substantial therapeutic advantage of this drug in the newborn. To date, there are no data on the PK profile of IV Azithromycin from whence rational dosing can be derived. ;
