Sponsor's own description

Aminoglycosides such as Amikacin are routinely used in newborns for the treatment of neonatal sepsis due to gram-negative bacilli. Despite the frequency of this indication, it has not yet been possible to establish definitive dosage schedules that ensure effectiveness and low risk of toxicity, due to the high pharmacokinetic variability observed in this population. In addition to anthropometric variables, evidence from retrospective studies suggests that sepsis could be capable of significantly modifying the pharmacokinetics of aminoglycosides in neonates, but the investigators suggest conducting prospective studies of higher methodological quality to verify this hypothesis. Due to the lack of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK / PD) studies of Amikacin in this group of patients, the investigators have raised the need to develop a prospective observational study; describing a PK / PD model of amikacin in newborns with suspected sepsis.
