Brief Summary:
Value of TDM for teicoplanin is not well defined. In this single-center low-interventional randomized trial the investigators aim to investigate the superiority of teicoplanin TDM-optimized using Model-Informed-Precision-Dosing (MIPD) of unbound concentrations versus the standard of care (dosing based on antibiotic guidelines) in target attainment.
Detailed Description:
Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that is frequently used in the treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections.
The glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin is currently the first choice of treatment against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), but teicoplanin is found to have a similar efficacy while showing less nephrotoxicity (4.8% vs 10.7%). Vancomycin dosing is based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). In contrast to vancomycin, value of TDM for teicoplanin is not as well defined. In this study the superiority of teicoplanin TDM-optimized dosing using Model-Informed-Precision-Dosing (MIPD) of unbound concentrations versus the standard of care (dosing based on antibiotic guidelines) in target attainment will be investigated. The overall aim of this research is to improve antibiotic treatment with teicoplanin to allow safe and optimal treatment of glycopeptide susceptible strains and to prevent de novo development of resistance.
