Doctors test if lifesaving drugs reach the right spots in severe infections

NCT ID NCT02805049

Summary

This study aimed to understand how two antifungal drugs (caspofungin and micafungin) move through the bodies of critically ill patients. It involved 24 adults in intensive care with a severe abdominal infection (peritonitis) that led to septic shock. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood and abdomen to see if standard doses were effective for these very sick patients.
