Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of Moxifloxacin IV to Enteral Switch Therapy in Intensive Care Patients

This study is currently recruiting participants.

Verified by University Hospital, Ghent, December 2007

Sponsored by:	University Hospital, Ghent
Information provided by:	University Hospital, Ghent
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00458900

Purpose

In the Intensive Care (IC)-unit moxifloxacin treatment is often started with intravenous administrations. As moxifloxacin is known to have a high oral bioavailability in healthy volunteers, patients are switched to oral or enteral therapy as soon as possible. However, no data on plasmalevels for moxifloxacin during such a switch-therapy in IC-patients are available. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the moxifloxacin-plasmalevels and their inter-individual variability during IV to enteral switch therapy in IC-patients.
