Impact of Capillary Leak and Hypoalbuminemia on PK/PD of Anidulafungin and Caspofungin in Critically Ill Patients

This prospective study will explore the pharmacokinetic exposure and pharmacodynamics of the echinocandins (caspofungin or anidulafungin) in critically ill patients.

About this study

This non-randomized, monocenter pharmacokinetic study will be carried out in critically ill patients receiving multiple dose treatment with echinocandins (caspofungin or anidulafungin).

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the echinocandins in plasma and BAL will be determined. Especially, the relative contributions of two pathophysiological alterations (capillary leak and hypoalbuminemia) encountered in critically ill patients, will be explored.

Also other correlating covariates will be identified to provide a rationale for optimal dosing strategy in critically ill patients.
