Integrated meropenem pharmacokinetic model for critically ill children. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2024:e0172923. [PMID: 38656186 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01729-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Standard dosing could fail to achieve adequate systemic concentrations in ICU children or may lead to toxicity in children with acute kidney injury. The population pharmacokinetic analysis was used to simultaneously analyze all available data (plasma, prefilter, postfilter, effluent, and urine concentrations) and provide the pharmacokinetic characteristics of meropenem. The probability of target fT > MIC attainment, avoiding toxic levels, during the entire dosing interval was estimated by simulation of different intermittent and continuous infusions in the studied population. A total of 16 critically ill children treated with meropenem were included, with 7 of them undergoing continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). Only 33% of children without CKRT achieved 90% of the time when the free drug concentration exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration (%fT > MIC) for an MIC of 2 mg/L. In dose simulations, only continuous infusions (60-120 mg/kg in a 24-h infusion) reached the objective in patients <30 kg. In patients undergoing CKRT, the currently used schedule (40 mg/kg/12 h from day 2 in a short infusion of 30 min) was clearly insufficient in patients <30 kg. Keeping the dose to 40 mg/kg q8h without applying renal adjustment and extended infusions (40 mg/kg in 3- or 4-h infusion every 12 h) was sufficient to reach 90% fT > MIC (>2 mg/L) in patients >10 kg. In patients <10 kg, only continuous infusions reached the objective. In patients >30 kg, 60 mg/kg in a 24-h infusion is sufficient and avoids toxicity. This population model could help with an individualized dosing approach that needs to be adopted in critically ill pediatric patients. Critically ill patients subjected to or not to CKRT may benefit from the administration of meropenem in an extended or continuous infusion.

Abstract
Critically ill patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) often present with or develop renal dysfunction requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) in addition to antimicrobial therapy. While early and appropriate antimicrobials for sepsis have been associated with an increased probability of survival, adequate dosing is also required in these patients. Adequate dosing of antimicrobials refers to dosing strategies that achieve serum drug levels at the site of infection that are able to provide a microbiological and/or clinical response while avoiding toxicity from excessive antibiotic exposure. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the recommended strategy to achieve this goal, however, TDM is not routinely available in all ICUs and for all antimicrobials. In the absence of TDM, clinicians are therefore required to make dosing decisions based on the clinical condition of the patient, the causative organism, the characteristics of RRT, and an understanding of the physicochemical properties of the antimicrobial. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of antimicrobials can be highly variable between critically ill patients and also within the same patient over the course of their ICU stay. The initiation of RRT, which can be in the form of intermittent hemodialysis, continuous, or prolonged intermittent therapy, further complicates the predictability of drug disposition. This variability highlights the need for individualized dosing. This review highlights the practical considerations for the clinician for antimicrobial dosing in critically ill patients receiving RRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) is one of the treatments of critically ill children presenting severe acute liver failure. This affliction might be induced by HSV infection requiring a treatment by acyclovir. Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) can alter its pharmacokinetics, according to its physicochemical properties and CVVHDF settings. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT The patient was a 21-month-old female presenting liver failure with hyperammonemia treated by acyclovir with presumed HSV infection. CKRT was initiated on day 1 with substantial replacement and dialysate flow rates (respectively 75 and 220 mL/kg/h). Acyclovir was intravenously administered every 8 h with a 1-h infusion of 500 mg/m2. Plasma and effluent concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay to estimate the area under a curve (AUC) and CKRT clearance by 2 methods (one based on pre- and post-filter concentrations and the other one on dialysate flow rates). Clearance was estimated between 19.2 and 26.3 mL/min with the first method and between 27.6 and 44.3 mL/min with the second one. Concentrations were highly above the therapeutic index (peak concentration was measured at 28 mg/L), but AUC was appropriate. CONCLUSIONS This case describes acyclovir pharmacokinetics during CKRT in a pediatric patient treated by acyclovir. The patient was treated with adapted exposure with the usual dosing, but lower dosing should be investigated with complementary studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02539407.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure alters linezolid pharmacokinetics in critically ill patients with continuous hemodialysis: an observational study. Ann Intensive Care 2023; 13:83. [PMID: 37698659 PMCID: PMC10497461 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-023-01184-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), adequate antibiotic dosing is challenging due to changes of drug distribution and elimination. We studied the pharmacokinetics of linezolid in critically ill patients with ACLF during continuous renal replacement therapy compared to patients without concomitant liver failure (NLF). METHODS In this prospective cohort study, patients received linezolid 600 mg bid. Linezolid serum samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Population pharmacokinetic modelling was performed followed by Monte-Carlo simulations of 150 mg bid, 300 mg bid, 450 mg bid, 600 mg bid, and 900 mg bid to assess trough concentration target attainment of 2-7 mg/L. RESULTS Eighteen patients were included in this study with nine suffering from ACLF. Linezolid body clearance was lower in the ACLF group with mean (standard deviation) 1.54 (0.52) L/h versus 6.26 (2.43) L/h for NLF, P < 0.001. A trough concentration of 2-7 mg/L was reached with the standard dose of 600 mg bid in the NLF group in 47%, with 42% being underexposed and 11% overexposed versus 20% in the ACLF group with 77% overexposed and 3% underexposed. The highest probability of target exposure was attained with 600 mg bid in the NLF group and 150 mg bid in the ACLF group with 53%. CONCLUSION Linezolid body clearance in ACLF was markedly lower than in NLF. Given the overall high variability, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) with dose adjustments seems required to optimize target attainment. Until TDM results are available, a dose reduction may be considered in ACLF patients to prevent overexposure.

Abstract
Beta-lactams (BL) are the first line agents for the antibiotic management of critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock. BL are hydrophilic antibiotics particularly subject to unpredictable concentrations in the context of critical illness because of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) alterations. Thus, during the last decade, the literature focusing on the interest of BL therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting has been exponential. Moreover, recent guidelines strongly encourage to optimize BL therapy using a PK/PD approach with TDM. Unfortunately, several barriers exist regarding TDM access and interpretation. Consequently, adherence to routine TDM in ICU remains quite low. Lastly, recent clinical studies failed to demonstrate any improvement in mortality with the use of TDM in ICU patients. This review will first aim at explaining the value and complexity of the TDM process when translating it to critically ill patient bedside management, interpretating the results of clinical studies and discussion of the points which need to be addressed before conducting further TDM studies on clinical outcomes. In a second time, this review will focus on the future aspects of TDM integrating toxicodynamics, model informed precision dosing (MIPD) and “at risk” ICU populations that deserve further investigations to demonstrate positive clinical outcomes.

Does the cytokine adsorber CytoSorb ® reduce vancomycin exposure in critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock? a prospective observational study. Ann Intensive Care 2022; 12:44.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemadsorption of cytokines is used in critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock. Concerns have been raised that the cytokine adsorber CytoSorb® unintentionally adsorbs vancomycin. This study aimed to quantify vancomycin elimination by CytoSorb®. METHODS Critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock receiving continuous renal replacement therapy and CytoSorb® treatment during a prospective observational study were included in the analysis. Vancomycin pharmacokinetics was characterized using population pharmacokinetic modeling. Adsorption of vancomycin by the CytoSorb® was investigated as linear or saturable process. The final model was used to derive dosing recommendations based on stochastic simulations. RESULTS 20 CytoSorb® treatments in 7 patients (160 serum samples/24 during CytoSorb®-treatment, all continuous infusion) were included in the study. A classical one-compartment model, including effluent flow rate of the continuous hemodialysis as linear covariate on clearance, best described the measured concentrations (without CytoSorb®). Significant adsorption with a linear decrease during CytoSorb® treatment was identified (p < 0.0001) and revealed a maximum increase in vancomycin clearance of 291% (initially after CytoSorb® installation) and a maximum adsorption capacity of 572 mg. For a representative patient of our cohort a reduction of the area under the curve (AUC) by 93 mg/L*24 h during CytoSorb® treatment was observed. The additional administration of 500 mg vancomycin over 2 h during CytoSorb® attenuated the effect and revealed a negligible reduction of the AUC by 4 mg/L*24 h. CONCLUSION We recommend the infusion of 500 mg vancomycin over 2 h during CytoSorb® treatment to avoid subtherapeutic concentrations. Trial registration NCT03985605.

Population pharmacokinetics of piperacillin in critically ill children including those undergoing continuous kidney replacement therapy. Clin Microbiol Infect 2022; 28:1287.e9-1287.e15.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite that piperacillin-tazobactam combination is commonly used in critically ill children, increasing evidence suggests that the current dosing schedules are not optimal for these patients. The aim of this work is to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for piperacillin to evaluate the efficacy of standard dosing in children with and without kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), and to propose alternative dosing schemes maximizing target attainment. METHODS 429 piperacillin concentrations measured in different matrices, obtained from 32 critically ill children (19 without CKRT, 13 with CKRT) receiving 100 mg/kg of piperacillin/tazobactam every 8 hours (increased to 12h after the 4th dose) were modelled simultaneously using the population approach with NONMEM 7.4. The percentage of patients with 90% fT>MIC and target attainment (percentage of dosing interval above MIC) were estimated for different intermittent and continuous infusions in the studied population. RESULTS Piperacillin PK was best described with a two-compartment model. Renal (CLR), nonrenal (CLM), and hemofilter (CLCKRT) clearances were found to be influenced by the glomerular filtration rate, height (CLR), weight (CLM) and filter surface (CLCKRT). Only 7 (37%) children without CKRT and 7 (54%) with CKRT achieved 90% fT >MIC with the current dosing schedule. Of the alternative regimens evaluated, a 24h continuous infusion of 200 mg/kg (CKRT) and 300 mg/kg (no CKRT) provided 100% fT >MIC(≤16mg/L) and target attainments ≥90% across all evaluated MICs. CONCLUSIONS In children with and without CKRT, standard dosing failed to provide an adequate systemic exposure, while prolonged and continuous infusions showed an improved efficacy.

Abstract
Infection and sepsis are a main cause of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Besides bacteria, molds play a role. Voriconazole (VRC) is recommended but its pharmacokinetics (PK) may be altered by ACLF. Because ACLF patients often suffer from concomitant acute renal failure, we studied the PK of VRC in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (RRT) with ACLF and compared it to PK of VRC in critically ill patients with RRT without concomitant liver failure (NLF). In this prospective cohort study, patients received weight-based VRC. Pre- and post-dialysis membrane, and dialysate samples obtained at different time points were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. An integrated dialysis pharmacometric model was used to model the available PK data. The recommended, 50% lower, and 50% higher doses were analyzed by Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS) for day 1 and at steady-state with a target trough concentration (TC) of 0.5–3mg/L. Fifteen patients were included in this study. Of these, 6 patients suffered from ACLF. A two-compartment model with linear clearance described VRC PK. No difference for central (V1) or peripheral (V2) volumes of distribution or clearance could be demonstrated between the groups. V1 was 80.6L (95% confidence interval: 62.6–104) and V2 106L (65–166) with a body clearance of 4.7L/h (2.87–7.81) and RRT clearance of 1.46L/h (1.29–1.64). MCS showed TC below/within/above target of 10/74/16% on day 1 and 9/39/52% at steady-state for the recommended dose. A 50% lower dose resulted in 26/72/1% (day 1) and 17/64/19% at steady-state and 7/57/37% and 7/27/67% for a 50% higher dose. VRC pharmacokinetics are not significantly influenced by ACLF in critically ill patients who receive RRT. Maintenance dose should be adjusted in both groups. Due to the high interindividual variability, therapeutic drug monitoring seems inevitable.

In vivo / in vitro Correlation of Pharmacokinetics of Gentamicin, Vancomycin, Teicoplanin and Doripenem in a Bovine Blood Hemodialysis Model. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:702455. [PMID: 34248646 PMCID: PMC8264131 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.702455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Elimination of a drug during renal replacement therapy is not only dependent on flow rates, molecular size and protein binding, but is often influenced by difficult to predict drug membrane interactions. In vitro models allow for extensive profiling of drug clearance using a wide array of hemofilters and flow rates. We present a bovine blood based in vitro pharmacokinetic model for intermittent renal replacement therapy. Methods: Four different drugs were analyzed: gentamicin, doripenem, vancomicin and teicoplanin. The investigated drug was added to a bovine blood reservoir connected to a hemodialysis circuit. In total seven hemofilter models were analyzed using commonly employed flow rates. Pre-filter, post-filter and dialysate samples were drawn, plasmaseparated and analyzed using turbidimetric assays or HPLC. Protein binding of doripenem and vancomycin was measured in bovine plasma and compared to previously published values for human plasma. Results: Clearance values were heavily impacted by choice of membrane material and surface as well as by dialysis parameters such as blood flow rate. Gentamicin clearance ranged from a minimum of 90.12 ml/min in a Baxter CAHP-170 diacetate hemofilter up to a maximum of 187.90 ml/min in a Fresenius medical company Fx80 polysulfone model (blood flow rate 400 ml/min, dialysate flow rate 800 ml/min). Clearance of Gentamicin vs Vancomicin over the F80s hemofilter model using the same flow rates was 137.62 mL vs 103.25 ml/min. Doripenem clearance with the Fx80 was 141.25 ml/min. Conclusion: Clearance values corresponded very well to previously published data from clinical pharmacokinetic trials. In conjunction with in silico pharmacometric models. This model will allow precise dosing recommendations without the need of large scale clinical trials.

Finding the Dose for Ceftolozane-Tazobactam in Critically Ill Children with and without Acute Kidney Injury. Antibiotics (Basel) 2020; 9:antibiotics9120887. [PMID: 33321721 PMCID: PMC7763445 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9120887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Revised: 11/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Ceftolozane-tazobactam is a new antibiotic against multidrug-resistant pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosas. Ceftolozane-tazobactam dosage is still uncertain in children, especially in those with renal impairment or undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods: Evaluation of different ceftolozane-tazobactam dosing regimens in three critically ill children. Ceftolozane pharmacokinetics (PK) were characterized by obtaining the patient’s specific parameters by Bayesian estimation based on a population PK model. The clearance (CL) in patient C undergoing CRRT was estimated using the prefilter, postfilter, and ultrafiltrate concentrations simultaneously. Variables such as blood, dialysate, replacement, and ultrafiltrate flow rates, and hematocrit were integrated in the model. All PK analyses were performed using NONMEM v.7.4. Results: Patient A (8 months of age, 8.7 kg) with normal renal function received 40 mg/kg every 6 h: renal clearance (CLR) was 0.88 L/h; volume of distribution (Vd) Vd1 = 3.45 L, Vd2 = 0.942 L; terminal halflife (t1/2,β) = 3.51 h, dosing interval area under the drug concentration vs. time curve at steady-state (AUCτ,SS) 397.73 mg × h × L−1. Patient B (19 months of age, 11 kg) with eGFR of 22 mL/min/1.73 m2 received 36 mg/kg every 8 h: CLR = 0.27 L/h; Vd1 = 1.13 L; Vd2 = 1.36; t1/2,β = 6.62 h; AUCSS 1481.48 mg × h × L−1. Patient C (9 months of age, 5.8 kg), with severe renal impairment undergoing CRRT received 30 mg/kg every 8 h: renal replacement therapy clearance (CLRRT) 0.39 L/h; Vd1 = 0.74 L; Vd2= 1.17; t 1/2,β = 3.51 h; AUCτ,SS 448.72 mg × h × L−1. No adverse effects attributable to antibiotic treatment were observed. Conclusions: Our results suggest that a dose of 35 mg/kg every 8 h can be appropriate in critically ill septic children with multi-drug resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. A lower dose of 10 mg/kg every 8 h could be considered for children with severe AKI. For patients with CRRT and a high effluent rate, a dose of 30 mg/kg every 8 h can be considered.
