Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) service provides antimicrobial therapy by parenteral infusion without hospitalization. Vancomycin is a widely used antibiotic in OPAT, however a drawback of its application in OPAT is the need for traditional blood sampling at a blood sampling facility for therapeutic drug monitoring. By developing a dried blood spot sampling method (i.e. a finger prick), enabling patients to collect their own sample at home, the costs of OPAT may be further reduced and patient satisfaction may be increased.
A prospective observational PK/PD to study the target attainment for β-lactam antibiotics in critically ill pediatric patients and associated risk factors.
Use population PK/PD modeling approach and consider evolving resistance development to better understand the development of drug resistance in anti-cancer treatments and to optimize and individualize anti-cancer treatment.
