• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single 3 gm dose of cefazolin from a DUPLEX container, in adult subjects (weighing >/= 120 kg) scheduled for surgery. Cefazolin will be administered as a 30-minute intravenous (IV) infusion, per cefazolin Package Insert. Five PK samples per subject will be obtained up to 8 hours after dosing. These data will then be assessed by the validated Cefazolin PK Model to verify there are no significant PK changes within this study population.
