Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to examine whether augmented renal clearance (ARC) compromises renally eliminated drug therapeutic serum concentrations in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to estimate the optimal dose needed to achieve therapeutic serum concentrations of the probe medication levetiracetam in patients with TBI.


Clinical Trial Description

Purpose: The primary objectives of this study are to examine whether augmented renal clearance compromises renally eliminated drug therapeutic serum concentrations in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to estimate the optimal dose needed to achieve therapeutic serum concentrations of the probe medication levetiracetam in patients with TBI.

Participants: The population will be comprised of patients with traumatic brain injury requiring levetiracetam for seizure prophylaxis admitted to the neurosciences intensive care unit

Procedures (methods): This is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized pharmacokinetic study in patients with TBI. In patients who meet the inclusion criteria, a 12-hour urine collection for measuring creatinine clearance levetiracetam urine concentrations will be performed daily for 7 days. Serum levetiracetam concentrations will be obtained twice daily for 7 days. ;
