Alternative Methods for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Dose Adjustment of Tuberculosis Treatment in Clinical Settings: A Systematic Review. Clin Pharmacokinet 2023; 62:375-398. [PMID: 36869170 PMCID: PMC10042915 DOI: 10.1007/s40262-023-01220-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Quantifying exposure to drugs for personalized dose adjustment is of critical importance in patients with tuberculosis who may be at risk of treatment failure or toxicity due to individual variability in pharmacokinetics. Traditionally, serum or plasma samples have been used for drug monitoring, which only poses collection and logistical challenges in high-tuberculosis burden/low-resourced areas. Less invasive and lower cost tests using alternative biomatrices other than serum or plasma may improve the feasibility of therapeutic drug monitoring. METHODS A systematic review was conducted to include studies reporting anti-tuberculosis drug concentration measurements in dried blood spots, urine, saliva, and hair. Reports were screened to include study design, population, analytical methods, relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, and risk of bias. RESULTS A total of 75 reports encompassing all four biomatrices were included. Dried blood spots reduced the sample volume requirement and cut shipping costs whereas simpler laboratory methods to test the presence of drug in urine can allow point-of-care testing in high-burden settings. Minimal pre-processing requirements with saliva samples may further increase acceptability for laboratory staff. Multi-analyte panels have been tested in hair with the capacity to test a wide range of drugs and some of their metabolites. CONCLUSIONS Reported data were mostly from small-scale studies and alternative biomatrices need to be qualified in large and diverse populations for the demonstration of feasibility in operational settings. High-quality interventional studies will improve the uptake of alternative biomatrices in guidelines and accelerate implementation in programmatic tuberculosis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of anti-infective drugs is an increasingly complex field, given that in addition to the patient and drug as 2 usual determinants, its success is driven by the pathogen. Pharmacodynamics is related both to the patient (toxicity) and bacterium (efficacy or antibiotic susceptibility). The specifics of TDM of antimicrobial drugs stress the need for multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise, as in any other field. The role and the responsibility of the laboratory in this interplay are both central and multifaceted. This narrative review highlights the role of the clinical laboratory in the TDM process. METHODS A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar, focusing on the past 5 years (studies published since 2016) to limit redundancy with previously published review articles. Furthermore, the references cited in identified publications of interest were screened for additional relevant studies and articles. RESULTS The authors addressed microbiological methods to determine antibiotic susceptibility, immunochemical and chromatographic methods to measure drug concentrations (primarily in blood samples), and endogenous clinical laboratory biomarkers to monitor treatment efficacy and toxicity. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are critically discussed, along with existing gaps and future perspectives on strategies to provide clinicians with as reliable and useful results as possible. CONCLUSIONS Although interest in the field has been the driver for certain progress in analytical technology and quality in recent years, laboratory professionals and commercial providers persistently encounter numerous unresolved challenges. The main tasks that need tackling include broadly and continuously available, easily operated, and cost-effective tests that offer short turnaround times, combined with reliable and easy-to-interpret results. Various fields of research are currently addressing these features.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring is important for achieving desirable outcomes in tuberculosis treatment. In this study, microwave-assisted extraction was used to extract levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and moxifloxacin from dried plasma spots for subsequent detection and quantification with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Dried plasma spotting was performed by dropping 15 μL of plasma on a protein saver card. Analyte extraction was performed with microwave-assisted extraction at 400 W for 40 s in 90 % methanol. Samples were analyzed with a core-shell C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm, 100 Å). Multiple reaction monitoring was used and the ion source was operated in positive electrospray ionization mode. The correlation coefficients of the calibration curves were > 0.999 for all three drugs over a range of 0.2-20 μg/mL. The intraday precision (n = 5) of the peak area ratios of the analyte to the internal standard was between 1.3 and 4.0 % relative standard deviation (RSD). The intraday accuracy ranged from 93.6-106.9%. The interday (n = 3) precision of the peak area ratios ranged from 1.9 to 8.8 % RSD, and the accuracy ranged from 94.9-107.1%. Regarding clinical application, the quantification results for moxifloxacin from dried plasma spots (DPSs) were strongly similar to the results from the plasma samples, which showed that Pearson's rho > 0.949. The validation and application results showed that the developed method can be used as an efficient analytical technique for therapeutic drug monitoring of fluoroquinolones for patients with tuberculosis.

Abstract
Conventional sampling of biological fluids often involves a bulk quantity of samples that are tedious to collect, deliver and process. Miniaturized sampling approaches have emerged as promising tools for sample collection due to numerous advantages such as minute sample size, patient friendliness and ease of shipment. This article reviews the applications and advances of microsampling techniques in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), covering the period January 2015 - August 2020. As whole blood is the gold standard sampling matrix for TDM, this article comprehensively highlights the most historical microsampling technique, the dried blood spot (DBS), and its development. Advanced developments of DBS, ranging from various automation DBS, paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS), 3D dried blood spheroids and volumetric absorptive paper disc (VAPD) and mini-disc (VAPDmini) are discussed. The volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) approach, which overcomes the hematocrit effect associated with the DBS sample, has been employed in recent TDM. The sample collection and sample preparation details in DBS and VAMS are outlined and summarized. This review also delineates the involvement of other biological fluids (plasma, urine, breast milk and saliva) and their miniaturized dried matrix forms in TDM. Specific features and challenges of each microsampling technique are identified and comparison studies are reviewed.

Abstract
Linezolid is a synthetic antimicrobial agent belonging to the oxazolidinone class. Since its approval in the year 2000 until now, linezolid remains the main representative drug for the oxazolidinone class of drugs, which is used in therapy due to its unique mode of action, which involves inhibition of protein synthesis. As linezolid holds great importance in antimicrobial therapy, it is necessary to compile the various analytical methods that have been reported in the literature for its analysis. Analytical techniques used for pharmaceutical analyses and therapeutic drug monitoring play an important role in comprehending the aspects regarding bioavailability, bioequivalence, and therapeutic monitoring during patient follow-ups. Even though linezolid has had the approval for clinical use for more than 18 years now, most of the analytical methods for its determination reported in the scientific literature are the ones which utilize HPLC. Therefore, the present review provides a summary of the HPLC-based methods used in the determination and quantification of linezolid in different matrices since the time of its discovery.

Abstract
Conventional sampling techniques for clinical pharmacokinetic studies often require the removal of large blood volumes from patients. This can result in a physiological or emotional burden, particularly for neonates or pediatric patients. Antibiotic pharmacokinetic studies are typically performed on healthy adults or general ward patients. These may not account for alterations to a patient’s pathophysiology and can lead to suboptimal treatment. Microsampling offers an important opportunity for clinical pharmacokinetic studies in vulnerable patient populations, where smaller sample volumes can be collected. This systematic review provides a description of currently available microsampling techniques and an overview of studies reporting the quantitation and validation of antibiotics using microsampling. A comparison of microsampling to conventional sampling in clinical studies is included.

Abstract
In the presented study, N-{[(5S)-3-(2-fluoro-4'-{[(1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylmethyl)amino]methyl}biphenyl-4-yl)-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl]methyl}acetamide (radezolid) was synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, Raman, ECD and NMR. The aim of this work was to assess the possibility of applying classical spectral methods such as FT-IR, Raman, ECD and NMR spectroscopy for studies on the identification and optical purity of radezolid. The experimental interpretation of FT-IR and Raman spectra of radezolid was conducted in combination with theoretical studies. Density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP hybrid functional was used for obtaining radezolid spectra. Full identification was carried out by COSY, 1H {13C} HSQC and 1H {13C} HMBC experiments. The experimental NMR chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants were compared with theoretical calculations using the DFT method and B3LYP functional employing the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and the solvent polarizable continuum model (PCM). The experimental ECD spectra of synthesized radezolid were compared with experimental spectra of the reference standard of radezolid. Theoretical calculations enabled us to conduct HOMO and LUMO analysis and molecular electrostatic potential maps were used to determine the active sites of microbiologically active form of radezolid enantiomer. The relationship between results of ab initio calculations and knowledge about chemical-biological properties of S-radezolid and other oxazolidinone derivatives are also discussed.

Abstract
AIM Critical illness and medical interventions, such as renal replacement therapy, can cause changes to vancomycin pharmacokinetics and lead to suboptimal dosing. To comprehensively characterize vancomycin pharmacokinetic a method must measure vancomycin in a range of clinical matrices. RESULTS A LC-MS/MS method was developed using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and microsample volumes, where possible. For all matrices, the linear concentration range was 1-100 μg/ml, interassay accuracy and precision was within 15%, and recovery above 80%. No matrix effects were observed. Calibration equivalence may be applied for some matrix combinations. CONCLUSION A method for the analysis of vancomycin in plasma (total, unbound), urine and renal replacement therapy effluent, suitable for use in any patient pharmacokinetic study, has been developed and validated.

Abstract
An ultra high-performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method with PDA detection was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of meropenem, linezolid, and levofloxacin in human plasma and applied in human plasma of critical care patients. A semi-automated microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) for sample preparation was used. All parameters in the extraction step (pH, sample volume, sample dilution and number of aspiration - ejection cycles) and in the desorption step (percentage of acetonitrile in the solvent of elution and number of aspirations of elution solvent through the device) were statistically significant when the recovery was used as response. The method showed good linearity with correlation coefficients, r2>0.9991 for the three drugs, as well as high precision (RSD%<10.83% in each case). Accuracy ranged from -7.8% to +6.7%. The limit of quantification of the three drugs was established at 0.01μg/mL for linezolid and levofloxacin and 0.02μg/mL for meropenem. Linezolid, meropenem, levofloxacin and the internal standard were extracted from human plasma with a mean recovery ranged from 92.4% to 97.4%. During validation, the concentration of meropenem, linezolid and levofloxacin was found to be stable after 3 freeze-thaw cycles and for at least 24h after extraction. This method will be subsequently used to quantify the drugs in patients to establish if the dosage regimen given is sufficient to eradicate the infection at the target site.

Abstract
An ultra high-performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method with PDA detection was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of linezolid and ciprofloxacin in human plasma and applied in hospital acquired pneumonia patients (HAP). The method uses a semi-automated microextraction by packed sorbent for sample preparation. All parameters in the extraction step (pH, sample volume, sample dilution and number of aspiration - ejection cycles) and in the desorption step (percentage of acetonitrile in the solvent of elution and number of aspirations of elution solvent through the device) were statistically significant when the recovery was used as response. The method showed good linearity with correlation coefficients, r2>0.9995 for the two drugs, as well as high precision (RSD%<9.77% in each case), accuracy ranged from -6.2% to +8.2. The limit of quantification of the two drugs was established at 0.01 and 0.02μg/mL for ciprofloxacin and linezolid, respectively. Linezolid, ciprofloxacin and internal standard were extracted from human plasma with a mean recovery ranging from 92.4% to 97.4%. During validation, the concentrations of linezolid and ciprofloxacin were found to be stable after 3 freeze-thaw cycles and for at least 24h after extraction. This method will subsequently be used to quantify the drugs dosage in patients with HAP to establish if the dosage regimen given is sufficient to eradicate the infection at the target site.

Abstract
The reliability of extraction recovery of an analyte in bioanalysis is fundamentally important for downstream analytical testing. For dried format microsamples, if the recovery changes with time the concentration in clinical samples, derived from calibration standards and alongside quality control samples prepared following different drying protocols, may not reflect the true result. The purpose of this paper was therefore to evaluate changes to extraction recovery across time for one analyte, the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin, in plasma using two dried microsampling formats, dried plasma spots and volumetric absorptive microsampling.

Abstract
PURPOSE With a decreasing supply of antibiotics that are effective against the pathogens that cause sepsis, it is critical that we learn to use currently available antibiotics optimally. Pharmacokinetic studies provide an evidence base from which we can optimize antibiotic dosing. However, these studies are challenging in critically ill neonate and pediatric patients due to the small blood volumes and associated risks and burden to the patient from taking blood. We investigate whether microsampling, that is, obtaining a biologic sample of low volume (<50 μL), can improve opportunities to conduct pharmacokinetic studies. METHODS We performed a literature search to find relevant articles using the following search terms: sepsis, critically ill, severe infection, intensive care AND antibiotic, pharmacokinetic, p(a)ediatric, neonate. For microsampling, we performed a search using antibiotics AND dried blood spots OR dried plasma spots OR volumetric absorptive microsampling OR solid-phase microextraction OR capillary microsampling OR microsampling. Databases searched include Web of Knowledge, PubMed, and EMbase. FINDINGS Of the 32 antibiotic pharmacokinetic studies performed on critically ill neonate or pediatric patients in this review, most of the authors identified changes to the pharmacokinetic properties in their patient group and recommended either further investigations into this patient population or therapeutic drug monitoring to ensure antibiotic doses are suitable. There remain considerable gaps in knowledge regarding the pharmacokinetic properties of antibiotics in critically ill pediatric patients. Implementing microsampling in an antibiotic pharmacokinetic study is contingent on the properties of the antibiotic, the pathophysiology of the patient (and how this can affect the microsample), and the location of the patient. A validation of the sampling technique is required before implementation. IMPLICATIONS Current antibiotic regimens for critically ill neonate and pediatric patients are frequently suboptimal due to a poor understanding of altered pharmacokinetic properties. An assessment of the suitability of microsampling for pharmacokinetic studies in neonate and pediatric patients is recommended before wider use. The method of sampling, as well as the method of bioanalysis, also requires validation to ensure the data obtained reflect the true result.

Abstract
AIM DBS might be an appropriate microsampling technique for therapeutic drug monitoring of caffeine in infants. Nevertheless, its application presents several issues that still limit its use. This paper describes a validated DBS-LC-MS/MS method for caffeine. RESULTS The results of the method validation showed an hematocrit dependence. In the analysis of 96 paired plasma and DBS clinical samples, caffeine levels measured in DBS were statistically significantly lower than in plasma but the observed differences were independent from hematocrit. CONCLUSION These results clearly showed the need for extensive validation with real-life samples for DBS-based methods. DBS-LC-MS/MS can be considered to be a good alternative to traditional methods for therapeutic drug monitoring or PK studies in preterm infants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical pharmacokinetic studies of antibiotics can establish evidence-based dosing regimens that improve the likelihood of eradicating the pathogen at the site of infection, reduce the potential for selection of resistant pathogens, and minimize harm to the patient. Innovations in small volume sampling (< 50 μL) or 'microsampling' may result in less-invasive sample collection, self-sampling and dried storage. Microsampling may open up opportunities in patient groups where sampling is challenging. AREAS COVERED The challenges for implementation of microsampling to assure suitability of the results, include: acceptable study design, regulatory agency acceptance, and meeting bioanalytical validation requirements. This manuscript covers various microsampling methods, including dried blood/plasma spots, volumetric absorptive microsampling, capillary microsampling, plasma preparation technologies and solid-phase microextraction. EXPERT OPINION The available analytical technology is being underutilized due to a lack of bridging studies and validated bioanalytical methods. These deficiencies represent major impediments to the application of microsampling to antibiotic pharmacokinetic studies. A conceptual framework for the assessment of the suitability of microsampling in clinical pharmacokinetic studies of antibiotics is provided. This model establishes a 'contingency approach' with consideration of the antibiotic and the type and location of the patient, as well as the more prescriptive bioanalytical validation protocols.

Abstract
Drug bioavailability may vary greatly amongst individuals, affecting both efficacy and toxicity: in humans, genetic variations account for a relevant proportion of such variability. In the last decade the use of pharmacogenetics in clinical practice, as a tool to individualize treatment, has shown a different degree of diffusion in various clinical fields. In the field of infectious diseases, several studies identified a great number of associations between host genetic polymor-phisms and responses to antiretroviral therapy. For example, in patients treated with abacavir the screening for HLA-B*5701 before starting treatment is routine clinical practice and standard of care for all patients; efavirenz plasma levels are influenced by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) CYP2B6-516G> T (rs3745274). Regarding antibiotics, many studies investigated drug transporters involved in antibiotic bioavailability, especially for fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, and antituberculars. To date, few data are available about pharmacogenetics of recently developed antibiotics such as tigecycline, daptomycin or linezolid. Considering the effect of SNPs in gene coding for proteins involved in antibiotics bioavailability, few data have been published. Increasing knowledge in the field of antibiotic pharmacogenetics could be useful to explain the high drug inter-patients variability and to individualize therapy. In this paper we reported an overview of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenetics of antibiotics to underline the importance of an integrated approach in choosing the right dosage in clinical practice.

Abstract
Quantification of fosfomycin in the plasma samples of patients is the basis of clinical pharmacokinetic studies from which evidence based dosing regimens can be devised to maximise antibiotic effectiveness against a pathogen. We have developed and validated a LC-MS/MS method to quantify fosfomycin using dried plasma spot sampling. Following HILIC chromatography, fosfomycin and ethylphosphonic acid, used as internal standard, were measured using negative-ion multiple reaction monitoring. The method was linear over the calibration range of 5-2000mg/L of fosfomycin. Intra-day assay results for dried plasma spot quality control samples at 15.6, 79.9 and 1581mg/L of fosfomycin had precision of ±4.2, 8.2, and 2.0%, respectively, and accuracy of +3.9, -0.1, and -1.2%, respectively. Recovery of fosfomycin from dried plasma spots was calculated as 83.6% and the dried plasma spot samples were found to be stable stored at room temperature for three months and when stored for four hours at 50°C. A Bland-Altman plot comparing DPS to plasma sampling found a negative bias of 16.6%, with all but one sample within the mean limits of agreement (-2.6 to 30.6%). Dried plasma spot sampling provides a useful tool for pharmacokinetic research of fosfomycin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is an antimicrobial drug combination commonly prescribed in children and adults. The study objectives were to validate and apply an HPLC-MS/MS method to quantify TMP-SMX in dried plasma spots (DPS) and dried urine spots (DUS), and perform a comparability analysis with liquid matrices. RESULTS For TMP the validated range was 100-50,000 ng/ml for DPS and 500-250,000 ng/ml for DUS; for SMX, the validated range was 1000-500,000 ng/ml for both DPS and DUS. Good agreement was noted between DPS/DUS and liquid plasma and urine samples for TMP, while only modest agreement was observed for SMX in both matrices. CONCLUSION A precise, accurate and reproducible method was developed to quantify TMP-SMX in DPS and DUS samples.

Abstract
High mortality and morbidity rates associated with severe infections in the critically ill continue to be a significant issue for the healthcare system. In view of the diverse and unique pharmacokinetic profile of drugs in this patient population, there is increasing use of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in attempt to optimize the exposure of antibiotics, improve clinical outcome and minimize the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Despite this, a beneficial clinical outcome for TDM of antibiotics has only been demonstrated for aminoglycosides in a general hospital patient population. Clinical outcome studies for other antibiotics remain elusive. Further, there is significant variability among institutions with respect to the practice of TDM including the selection of patients, sampling time for concentration monitoring, methodologies of antibiotic assay, selection of PK/PD targets as well as dose optimisation strategies. The aim of this paper is to review the available evidence relating to practices of antibiotic TDM, and describe how TDM can be applied to potentially improve outcomes from severe infections in the critically ill.

Abstract
This article discusses dried blood spot (DBS) sampling in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The most important advantages of DBS sampling in TDM are the minimally invasive procedure of a finger prick (home sampling), the small volume (children), and the stability of the analyte. Many assays in DBS have been reported in the literature over the previous 5 years. These assays and their analytical techniques are reviewed here. Factors that may influence the accuracy and reproducibility of DBS methods are also discussed. Important issues are the correlation with plasma/serum concentrations and the influence of hematocrit on spot size and recovery. The different substrate materials are considered. DBS sampling can be a valid alternative to conventional venous sampling. However, patient correlation studies are indispensable to prove this. Promising developments are dried plasma spots using membrane and hematocrit correction using the potassium concentration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This manuscript describes the development, validation and clinical application of a novel method for the quantification of the antiretroviral drug efavirenz in dried breast milk spots using LC-MS. METHODS Dried breast milk spots were prepared by spotting 30 μL of human breast milk on each circle of Whatman 903 Protein Saver cards. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse-phase C18 column with 1 mM ammonium acetate in water/acetonitrile using a solvent gradient at a flow rate of 400 μL/min and detection was by TSQ Quantum Access triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with a heated electrospray ionization source. The method was applied to characterize the breast milk pharmacokinetic profile of efavirenz in HIV-positive nursing mothers receiving regimens containing 600 mg of efavirenz once daily. RESULTS The assay was validated over the concentration range 50-7500 ng/mL. Accuracy ranged between 95.2% and 102.5% and precision ranged between 1.05% and 9.53%. The average recovery of efavirenz from dried breast milk spots was 106.4% and the matrix effect was 8.14%. Stability of efavirenz in dried breast milk spots and processed samples at room temperature, -40°C and -80°C was demonstrated. In the pharmacokinetic study, the mean (SD) AUC0-24, Cmax and Cmin of efavirenz in breast milk were 59,620 ng·h/mL (17,440), 4527 ng/mL (1767) and 1261 ng/mL (755.9), respectively. The mean (range) milk-to-plasma concentration ratio over the dosing interval was 0.78 (0.57-1.26). CONCLUSIONS The dried breast milk spot method is simple, robust, accurate and precise, and can be used in settings with limited resources.
