Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - DEVINE vancomycin regimen

Experimental: DEVINE vancomycin regimen - This is the intervention arm and will be the pharmacokinetically derived vancomycin dosing regimen.


Treatment: Drugs: DEVINE vancomycin regimen
The dosing regimen varies by weight and height and by initial or ongoing dose prescribed. The loading dose is based on actual volume of distribution of vancomycin whilst the ongoing doses are based on creatinine clearance.

Summary
Brief summary
Current Australian guidelines for vancomycin commonly underdoses individuals particularly in
the first 48 hours.

The aim of the trial is to compare two dosing regimens; the current Australian guidelines
versus a more appropriately modeled pharmacokinetic based regimen with the overall aim of
developing a new vancomycin dosing strategy that will enable patients to have more
individualised and therapeutically efficacious treatment.

The hypothesis is that dosing vancomycin according to a pharmacokinetically modeled regimen
increases the likelihood of achieving therapeutic trough levels of vancomycin within the
first 48 hours (or at steady state, whichever is sooner) compared to dosing vancomycin
according to the current Antibiotic guidelines.
