Antibiotic removal during hemoadsorption and continuous kidney support in the ICU
Official title: In Vivo Antibiotics Removal During Treatment With Hemoadsorption Cartridges and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in the Intensive Care Unit
Run by Niguarda Hospital · NCT07230041 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test how much meropenem, linezolid, or daptomycin is removed from the blood of adults with septic shock and kidney failure who are on CRRT with a hemoadsorption cartridge.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (over 18) admitted to the ICU with septic shock and renal failure requiring CRRT who are receiving meropenem, linezolid, or daptomycin and who provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not on CRRT, are under 18, or are not receiving the specified antibiotics are unlikely to benefit from the findings.

What this trial studies
This observational study will enroll about 20 adult ICU patients with septic shock and renal failure requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) who are receiving meropenem, linezolid, or daptomycin. A single Jafron HA380 hemoadsorption cartridge will be placed in series with a BBraun OMNI PLUS open CVVHD filter for 2–12 hours while standard citrate anticoagulation is used. Blood samples will be drawn before the cartridge, immediately after the cartridge, and after treatment and analyzed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to measure antibiotic concentrations. The goal is to quantify how much of each antibiotic is removed during passage through the hemoadsorption cartridge and CRRT circuit over a 12-month enrollment window.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Results could help clinicians adjust antibiotic dosing during hemoadsorption and CRRT to avoid under-dosing and improve infection control.
How similar studies have gone: Previous reports have shown variable antibiotic removal with hemoadsorption and CRRT, but data specific to the HA380 cartridge used with the BBraun OMNI system are limited.
