Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Vancomycin is already used for decades in neonates. However, there are remaining questions concerning vancomycin disposition in this population. The purpose of this study is first of all to perform a paired analysis of serum vancomycin concentrations using an immunoassay versus a reference liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Secondly, we aim to determine vancomycin protein binding and its covariates in neonates.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Exploration of vancomycin disposition in neonates:

Objective 1: Paired analysis of (total) serum vancomycin concentrations in neonates using the currently available immunoassay (Cobas c702) versus a reference liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method (LC-MS/MS).

Objective 2: The determination of vancomycin protein binding and its covariates in neonates.
