Abstract
INTRODUCTION A target trough concentration (Cmin) of teicoplanin ≥ 15-20 mg/L between the fourth and sixth day has been suggested for severe infections or management of febrile neutropenia (FN). Owing to no reports discussing the impact of early target attainment on treatment outcomes, this study aimed to evaluate the dose-Cmin relationship and clinical outcome and estimate the optimal early target Cmin for FN in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS This single-center, prospective study enrolled patients with hematological malignancies who were treated with teicoplanin either as an empirical antibiotic for FN or as targeted treatment for Gram-positive bacteria. Blood samples were collected on day three (48 h) post-loading doses, day 5 (96 h), and day 8 (when applicable) and determined by ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography-triple quadruple mass spectrometry. A total of 117 samples from 47 patients with FN (27 men, 20 women) were consecutively analyzed. A two-tailed α value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The mean Cmin values at 48 h, 96 h, and on day 8 were 23.4, 21.4, and 27.8 mg/L, respectively. The patients achieving Cmin ≥ 20 mg/L at 48 h had a higher likelihood of treatment success. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves were 0.71 for clinical efficacy and the cutoff value of Cmin at 48 h was 18.85 mg/L (95% confidence interval 0.55-0.87; P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS The Cmin of teicoplanin after completion of loading doses could predict the treatment response, with a target concentration ≥ 18.85 mg/L.

Pharmacokinetics of Teicoplanin in a Patient with Coronavirus Disease 2019 Receiving Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. J Crit Care Med (Targu Mures) 2022; 8:288-291. [DOI: 10.2478/jccm-2022-0021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) receiving ventilation or pulmonary support via veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) can be infected with drug-resistant bacteria. When introducing VV-ECMO, the changes in serum antibiotic concentration should be considered due to an increased volume of distribution (Vd). However, no pharmacokinetic study has assessed teicoplanin (TEIC) treatment in patients with COVID-19 receiving VV-ECMO.
Case presentation
A 71-year-old man diagnosed with COVID-19 visited a primary hospital. His oxygenation conditions worsened despite treatment with favipiravir and methylprednisolone as well as oxygen therapy. After his transfer to our center, tracheal intubation and steroid pulse therapy were initiated. Seven days after admission, VV-ECMO was performed. TEIC was administered for secondary bacterial infection. The serum TEIC concentration remained within the therapeutic range, indicating that VV-ECMO did not significantly affect TEIC pharmacokinetics. VV-ECMO was discontinued 17 days after admission. However, he developed multi-organ disorder and died 42 days after admission.
Conclusion
As TEIC prevents viral invasion, it may be used with ECMO in patients with COVID-19 requiring ventilation; however, the altered pharmacokinetics of TEIC, such as increased Vd, should be considered. Therefore, TEIC pharmacokinetics in VV-ECMO should be assessed in future studies with an appropriate number of patients.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:748769. [PMID: 34926498 PMCID: PMC8671752 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.748769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Our ex vivo study was designed to determine the sequestration of teicoplanin, tigecycline, micafungin, meropenem, polymyxin B, caspofungin, cefoperazone sulbactam, and voriconazole in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits. Methods: Simulated closed-loop ECMO circuits were prepared using 2 types of blood-primed ECMO. After the circulation was stabilized, the study drugs were injected into the circuit. Blood samples were collected at 2, 5, 15, 30 min, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after injection. Drug concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Control groups were stored at 4°C after 3, 6, 12, and 24 h immersing in a water bath at 37°C to observe spontaneous drug degradation. Results: Twenty-six samples were analyzed. The average drug recoveries from the ECMO circuits and control groups at 24 h relative to baseline were 67 and 89% for teicoplanin, 100 and 145% for tigecycline, 67 and 99% for micafungin, 45 and 75% for meropenem, 62 and 60% for polymyxin B, 83 and 85% for caspofungin, 79 and 98% for cefoperazone, 75 and 87% for sulbactam, and 60 and 101% for voriconazole, respectively. Simple linear regression showed no significant correlation between lipophilicity (r2 = 0.008, P = 0.225) or the protein binding rate (r2 = 0.168, P = 0.479) of drugs and the extent of drug loss in the ECMO circuits. Conclusions: In the two ECMO circuits, meropenem and voriconazole were significantly lost, cefoperazone was slightly lost, while tigecycline and caspofungin were not lost. Drugs with high lipophilicity were lost more in the Maquet circuit than in the Sorin circuit. This study needs more in vivo studies with larger samples for further confirmation, and it suggests that therapeutic drug concentration monitoring should be strongly considered during ECMO.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adequate dosing of antimicrobials is critical to properly treat infections and limit development of resistance and adverse effects. Limited guidance exists for antimicrobial dosing adjustments in patients requiring extracorporporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. A systematic review was conducted to delineate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of antimicrobials in critically ill adult patients requiring ECMO. METHODS Medline, EMBASE, Global Health, and All EBM Reviews databases were searched. Grey literature was examined. All studies reporting PK/PD parameters of antimicrobials in critically ill adults treated with ECMO were included, except for case reports and congress abstracts. Ex vivo studies were included. Two independent reviewers applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Reviewers were then paired to independently abstract data and evaluate methodological quality of studies using the ROBINS-I tool and the compliance with ClinPK guidelines. Patients' and studies' characteristics, key PK/PD findings, details of ECMO circuits and co-treatments were summarized qualitatively. Dosing recommendations were formulated based on data from controlled studies. RESULTS Thirty-two clinical studies were included; most were observational and uncontrolled. Fourteen ex vivo studies were analysed. Information on patient characteristics and co-treatments was often missing. The effect of ECMO on PK/PD parameters of antimicrobials varied depending on the studied drugs. Few dosing recommendations could be formulated given the lack of good quality data. CONCLUSION Limited data exist on the PK/PD of antimicrobials during ECMO therapy. Rigorously designed and well powered populational PK studies are required to establish empiric dosing guidelines for antimicrobials in patients requiring ECMO support.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an effective means to provide life support for patients with severe respiratory or heart failure. Existing studies have shown that ECMO may affect the metabolic process of some drugs by drug adsorption, increasing the apparent distribution volume and changing the clearance rate of the drugs. This review summarizes the recent progress in the studies of the effect of ECMO on the pharmacokinetics of antibacterial and antifungal drugs. For the antibacterial drugs, it is recommended that the dose of teicoplanin, imipenem, and linezolid should be increased during ECMO support, while the dose of azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and tigecycline should not be modified for the time being. Currently studies on pharmacokinetic changes of antifungal drugs during ECMO support remain limited. Voriconazole can be absorbed substantially by ECMO due to its high lipophilicity, and higher doses are therefore recommended. The dose of micafungin also needs to be increased in children undergoing ECMO. However, current evidence concerning the dose of caspofungin and fluconazole are limited, and it is not clear whether the routine dose should be adjusted during ECMO support.
