What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This observational study will characterize the pharmacokinetics of linezolid in young infants. Participants will receive linezolid either as part of routine clinical care or as a single, one-time study dose. Blood samples collected following linezolid administration will be used to measure drug concentrations and describe how linezolid is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated in this population. Clinical information, including demographic characteristics, laboratory values, and treatment details, will also be collected. The results will be used to develop pharmacokinetic models to improve linezolid dosing recommendations and support precision dosing in young infants.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This study is for infants and young children who are already receiving linezolid as part of their medical care or can safely receive a single dose. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria are not detailed, but participants must be able to provide blood samples.

Inclusion Criteria

I am taking antibiotics but have not been prescribed linezolid and can take one study dose.
Weight ≥2 kg
I am a baby who is 90 days old or younger and currently in the hospital.

Exclusion Criteria

Ongoing clinical instability that would make study participation unsafe as judged by treating team or principal investigator, including escalating vasoactive support or rapidly worsening organ dysfunction
Extracorporeal support or devices expected to substantially alter drug pharmacokinetics such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
Known hypersensitivity or allergy to linezolid

Interventions

  • Linezolid

Trial Overview

Researchers are studying how the antibiotic linezolid moves through the bodies of young infants by measuring drug levels in blood after dosing. This will help improve future dosing recommendations for this age group.
