Abstract
BACKGROUND Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic used to treat serious infectious endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus . The pharmacodynamic parameter correlating best with efficacy is the ratio of the estimated area under the concentration (AUC 0-24 )-time curve to the minimum inhibitory concentration. The aim of the study is to develop a limited sampling strategy to estimate AUC 0-24 using a reduced number of samples. METHODS Sixty-eight daptomycin AUC 0-24 values were calculated for 50 White patients who underwent treatment for at least 5 consecutive days. Plasma concentrations were detected using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analytical method, with daptomycin-d5 as an internal standard. Multiple regression was used to evaluate the ability of 2 concentration-time points to predict the AUC 0-24 calculated from the entire pharmacokinetic profile. Prediction bias was calculated as the mean prediction error, whereas prediction precision was estimated as the mean absolute prediction error. The development and validation datasets comprised 40 and 10 randomly selected patients, respectively. RESULTS The AUC 0-24 (mg*h/L) was best estimated using the daptomycin trough concentration and plasma concentrations detected 2 hours after dosing. We calculated a mean prediction error of 1.6 (95% confidence interval, -10.7 to 10.9) and a mean absolute prediction error of 11.8 (95% confidence interval, 5.3-18.3), with 73% of prediction errors within ±15%. CONCLUSIONS An equation was developed to estimate daptomycin exposure (AUC 0-24 ), offering clinical applicability and utility in generating personalized dosing regimens, especially for individuals at high risk of treatment failure or delayed response.

Population pharmacokinetics of daptomycin in critically ill patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. J Antimicrob Chemother 2024; 79:1697-1705.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Daptomycin is widely used in critically ill patients for Gram-positive bacterial infections. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in this population and can potentially alter the pharmacokinetic (PK) behaviour of antibiotics. However, the effect of ECMO has not been evaluated in daptomycin. Our study aims to explore the effect of ECMO on daptomycin in critically ill patients through population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) analysis and to determine optimal dosage regimens based on both efficacy and safety considerations. METHODS A prospective, open-label PK study was carried out in critically ill patients with or without ECMO. The total concentration of daptomycin was determined by UPLC-MS/MS. NONMEM was used for PopPK analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. RESULTS Two hundred and ninety-three plasma samples were collected from 36 critically ill patients, 24 of whom received ECMO support. A two-compartment model with first-order elimination can best describe the PK of daptomycin. Creatinine clearance (CLCR) significantly affects the clearance of daptomycin while ECMO has no significant effect on the PK parameters. Monte Carlo simulations showed that, when the MICs for bacteria are ≥1 mg/L, the currently recommended dosage regimen is insufficient for critically ill patients with CLCR > 30 mL/min. Our simulations suggest 10 mg/kg for patients with CLCR between 30 and 90 mL/min, and 12 mg/kg for patients with CLCR higher than 90 mL/min. CONCLUSIONS This is the first PopPK model of daptomycin in ECMO patients. Optimal dosage regimens considering efficacy, safety, and pathogens were provided for critical patients based on pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis.

Antibiotic Resistance to Molecules Commonly Prescribed for the Treatment of Antibiotic-Resistant Gram-Positive Pathogens: What Is Relevant for the Clinician? Pathogens 2024; 13:88. [PMID: 38276161 PMCID: PMC10819222 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens13010088] [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: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance in Gram-positive pathogens is a relevant concern, particularly in the hospital setting. Several antibiotics are now available to treat these drug-resistant pathogens, such as daptomycin, dalbavancin, linezolid, tedizolid, ceftaroline, ceftobiprole, and fosfomycin. However, antibiotic resistance can also affect these newer molecules. Overall, this is not a frequent phenomenon, but it is a growing concern in some settings and can compromise the effectiveness of these molecules, leaving few therapeutic options. We reviewed the available evidence about the epidemiology of antibiotic resistance to these antibiotics and the main molecular mechanisms of resistance, particularly methicillin-resistant Sthaphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. We discussed the interpretation of susceptibility tests when minimum inhibitory concentrations are not available. We focused on the risk of the emergence of resistance during treatment, particularly for daptomycin and fosfomycin, and we discussed the strategies that can be implemented to reduce this phenomenon, which can lead to clinical failure despite appropriate antibiotic treatment. The judicious use of antibiotics, epidemiological surveillance, and infection control measures is essential to preserving the efficacy of these drugs.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Incorporation of host-derived exogenous fatty acids (eFAs), particularly unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), by Staphylococcus aureus could affect the bacterial membrane fluidity and susceptibility to antimicrobials. In this work, we found that glycerol ester hydrolase (Geh) is the primary lipase hydrolyzing cholesteryl esters and, to a lesser extent, triglycerides and that human serum albumin (HSA) could serve as a buffer of eFAs, where low levels of HSA facilitate the utilization of eFAs but high levels of HSA inhibit it. The fact that the type II fatty acid synthesis (FASII) inhibitor, AFN-1252, leads to an increase in UFA content even in the absence of eFA suggests that membrane property modulation is part of its mechanism of action. Thus, Geh and/or the FASII system look to be promising targets to enhance S. aureus killing in a host environment by restricting eFA utilization or modulating membrane properties, respectively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Until recently, interest in renal function has focused on impairment to limit drug toxicity and increase medication safety. Augmented renal clearance (ARC) has been increasingly studied in multiple patient populations, including oncology, and could lead to decreased drug efficacy from faster elimination resulting in subtherapeutic concentrations. This scoping review sought to summarize ARC literature in cancer and identify areas of research to better inform pharmacy practitioners. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases were searched for English articles related to augmented/enhanced renal function/clearance following a framework for scoping reviews. DATA SYNTHESIS Fourteen articles were analyzed, divided according to article objective: descriptive studies or ARC's impact on pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. ARC was most defined as creatinine clearance >130 mL/min/1.73 m2, reported in 10%-100% of patients. Febrile neutropenia in adult and pediatric patients, and age <50-65 years, hematologic malignancy, and lower serum creatinine in adult patients were notable risk factors for ARC. The impact of ARC has only been evaluated with antimicrobial agents consistently resulting in lower than anticipated trough levels. Identified gaps include: elucidation of ARC's mechanism and associated biomarkers, an inclusive ARC definition for relative renal enhancement, and study of additional drug classes to ascertain the breadth of ARC impact on drug therapy. CONCLUSIONS ARC is proving to be a frequent phenomenon in patients with cancer which pharmacists could play a vital role. Further research is needed to better understand the impact of ARC in patient care and a potential need to stage ARC based on degree of renal enhancement to establish specific drug dosing recommendations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains an important pathogen in the hospital setting and causes significant morbidity and mortality each year. Since the initial discovery over 60 years ago, vancomycin has remained a first-line treatment for many different types of MRSA infections. However, significant concerns related to target attainment and nephrotoxicity have spurred efforts to develop more effective agents in the last two decades. AREAS COVERED Newer anti-MRSA antibiotics that have been approved since 2000 include linezolid, daptomycin, and ceftaroline. As clinical evidence has accumulated, these newer agents have become more frequently used, and some are now recommended as co-first-line options (along with vancomycin) in clinical practice guidelines. For this review, a scoping review of the literature was conducted to support our findings and recommendations. EXPERT OPINION Vancomycin remains an important standard of care for MRSA infections but is limited with respect to nephrotoxicity and rapid target attainment. Newer agents such as linezolid, daptomycin, and ceftaroline have specific indications for treating different types of MRSA infections; however, newer agents also have unique attributes which require consideration during therapy.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus only synthesizes straight-chain or branched-chain saturated fatty acids (SCFAs or BCFAs) via the type II fatty acid synthesis (FASII) pathway, but as a highly adaptive pathogen, S. aureus can also utilize host-derived exogenous fatty acids (eFAs), including SCFAs and unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs). S. aureus secretes three lipases, Geh, sal1, and SAUSA300_0641, which could perform the function of releasing fatty acids from host lipids. Once released, the FAs are phosphorylated by the fatty acid kinase, FakA, and incorporated into the bacterial lipids. In this study, we determined the substrate specificity of S. aureus secreted lipases, the effect of human serum albumin (HSA) on eFA incorporation, and the effect of FASII inhibitor, AFN-1252, on eFA incorporation using comprehensive lipidomics. When grown with major donors of fatty acids, cholesteryl esters (CEs) and triglycerides (TGs), Geh was found to be the primary lipase responsible for hydrolyzing CEs, but other lipases could compensate for the function of Geh in hydrolyzing TGs. Lipidomics showed that eFAs were incorporated into all major S. aureus lipid classes and that fatty acid-containing HSA can serve as a source of eFAs. Furthermore, S. aureus grown with UFAs displayed decreased membrane fluidity and increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Exposure to AFN-1252 enhanced UFAs in the bacterial membrane, even without a source of eFAs, indicating a FASII pathway modification. Thus, the incorporation of eFAs alters the S. aureus lipidome, membrane fluidity, and ROS formation, which could affect host-pathogen interactions and susceptibility to membrane-targeting antimicrobials.

Abstract
As one of the efficient techniques for TDM, the population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model approach for dose individualization has been developed due to the rapidly growing innovative progress in computer technology and has recently been considered as a part of model-informed precision dosing (MIPD). Initial dose individualization and measurement followed by maximum a posteriori (MAP)-Bayesian prediction using a popPK model are the most classical and widely used approach among a class of MIPD strategies. MAP-Bayesian prediction offers the possibility of dose optimization based on measurement even before reaching a pharmacokinetically steady state, such as in an emergency, especially for infectious diseases requiring urgent antimicrobial treatment. As the pharmacokinetic processes in critically ill patients are affected and highly variable due to pathophysiological disturbances, the advantages offered by the popPK model approach make it highly recommended and required for effective and appropriate antimicrobial treatment. In this review, we focus on novel insights and beneficial aspects of the popPK model approach, especially in the treatment of infectious diseases with anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus agents represented by vancomycin, and discuss the recent advancements and prospects in TDM practice.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a promising approach for some relapse/refractory hematological B-cell malignancies; however, in most patients, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) may occur. CRS is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) that may affect the pharmacokinetics of some beta-lactams. The aim of this study was to assess whether the pharmacokinetics of meropenem and piperacillin may be affected by CAR T-cell treatment. The study included CAR T-cell treated patients (cases) and oncohematological patients (controls), who were administered 24-h continuous infusion (CI) meropenem or piperacillin/tazobactam, optimized by therapeutic drug monitoring, over a 2-year period. Patient data were retrospectively retrieved and matched on a 1:2 ratio. Beta-lactam clearance (CL) was calculated as CL = daily dose/infusion rate. A total of 38 cases (of whom 14 and 24 were treated with meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam, respectively) was matched with 76 controls. CRS occurred in 85.7% (12/14) and 95.8% (23/24) of patients treated with meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam, respectively. CRS-induced AKI was observed in only 1 patient. CL did not differ between cases and controls for both meropenem (11.1 vs. 11.7 L/h, p = 0.835) and piperacillin (14.0 vs. 10.4 L/h, p = 0.074). Our findings suggest that 24-h CI meropenem and piperacillin dosages should not be reduced a priori in CAR T-cell patients experiencing CRS.

[PMID: 36297661 PMCID: PMC9607246 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14102226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The aims of this study are (i) to develop a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model of daptomycin in patients with normal and impaired renal function, and (ii) to establish the optimal dose recommendation of daptomycin in clinical practice. Several structural PK models including linear and non-linear binding kinetics were evaluated. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted with a fixed combination of creatinine clearance (30–90 mL/min/1.73 m2) and body weight (50–100 kg). The final dataset included 46 patients and 157 daptomycin observations. A two-compartment model with first-order peripheral distribution and elimination kinetics assuming non-linear protein-binding kinetics was selected. The bactericidal effect for Gram+ strains with MIC ≤ 0.5 mg/L could be achieved with 5–12 mg/kg daily daptomycin based on body weight and renal function. The administration of 10–17 mg/kg q48 h daptomycin allows to achieve bactericidal effect for Gram+ strains with MIC ≤ 1 mg/L. Four PK samples were selected as the optimal sampling strategy for an accurate AUC estimation. A quantitative framework has served to characterize the non-linear binding kinetics of daptomycin in patients with normal and impaired renal function. The impact of different dosing regimens on the efficacy and safety outcomes of daptomycin treatment based on the unbound exposure of daptomycin and individual patient characteristics has been evaluated.

Target Therapeutic Ranges of Anti-MRSA Drugs, Linezolid, Tedizolid and Daptomycin, and the Necessity of TDM. Biol Pharm Bull 2022; 45:824-833.

Abstract
The target therapeutic ranges of vancomycin, teicoplanin, and arbekacin have been determined, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is performed in clinical practice. However, TDM is not obligatory for daptomycin, linezolid, or tedizolid. In this study, we examined whether TDM will be necessary for these 3 drugs in the future. There was no significant difference in therapeutic effects on acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection between linezolid and tedizolid by meta-analysis. Concerning the therapeutic effects on pneumonia, the rate of effectiveness after treatment with tedizolid was significantly lower than with linezolid. With respect to safety, the incidences of gastrointestinal adverse events and blood/lymphatic system disorders related to tedizolid were significantly lower than those related to linezolid. Linezolid exhibits potent therapeutic effects on pneumonia, but the appearance of adverse reactions is indicated as a problem. There was a dose-dependent decrease in the platelet count, and the target trough concentration (Ctrough) was estimated to be 4-6 or 2-7 µg/mL in accordance with the patient's condition. The efficacy of linezolid may be obtained while minimizing the appearance of adverse reactions by performing TDM. The target therapeutic range of tedizolid cannot be achieved in immunocompromised or severe patients. Therefore, we concluded that TDM was unnecessary, considering step-down therapy with oral drugs, use in non-severe patients, and high-level safety. Concerning daptomycin, high-dose administration is necessary to achieve an area under the curve (AUC) of ≥666 as an index of efficacy. To secure its safety, Ctrough (<20 µg/mL) monitoring is important. Therefore, TDM is necessary.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health challenge. As few new efficacious antibiotics will become available in the near future, peptide antibiotics continue to be major therapeutic options for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens. Rational use of antibiotics requires optimisation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for the treatment of different types of infections. Toxicodynamics must also be considered to improve the safety of antibiotic use and, where appropriate, to guide therapeutic drug monitoring. This review focuses on the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics/toxicodynamics of peptide antibiotics against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens. Optimising antibiotic exposure at the infection site is essential for improving their efficacy and minimising emergence of resistance.

Abstract
Under the Japanese health insurance system, medicines undergoing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) can be billed for medical fees if they meet the specified requirements. In Japan, TDM of vancomycin, teicoplanin, aminoglycosides, and voriconazole, which are used for the treatment of infectious diseases, is common practice. This means the levels of antibiotics are measured in-house using chromatography or other methods. In some facilities, the blood and/or tissue concentrations of other non-TDM drugs are measured by HPLC and are applied to treatment, which is necessary for personalized medicine. This review describes personalized medicine based on the use of chromatography as a result of the current situation in Japan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of daptomycin against methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRSA and MRSE) bacteremia using computer modeling. METHODS A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling strategy to explain the data from an in vitro dynamic model employing time-kill curves for MRSA and MRSE was proposed. Bacterial killing was followed over time by determining viable counts and the resulting time-kill data was analyzed. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic data to determine the probabilities of target attainment and cumulative fractions of response in terms of area under the concentration curve/minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) targets of daptomycin. Simulations were conducted to assess the reduction in the number of colony-forming units (CFU)/mL for 18 days of treatment with daptomycin at doses of 6, 8, and 10 mg/kg/24 h or 48 h with variations in creatinine clearance (CLCR): 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2, 30-49 mL/min/1.73 m2, 50-100 mL/min/1.73 m2, as well as for defining the probability of reaching the target fAUC/MIC = 80 in the same dose and clearance range. A PK/PD model with saturation in the number of bacteria in vitro, growth delay, and bacterial death, as well as Hill's factor, was used to describe the data for both MRSA and MRSE. RESULTS Monte Carlo simulations showed that for MRSA there was a reduction > 2 log CFU/mL with doses ≥ 6 mg/kg/day in 75th percentile of the simulated population after 18 days of treatment with daptomycin, whereas for MRSE this reduction was observed in 95th percentile of the population. CONCLUSIONS The presented in vitro PK/PD model and associated modeling approach were able to characterize the time-kill kinetics of MRSA and MRSE. Our study based on PTAs suggests that doses ≥ 6 mg/kg/day of daptomycin should be used to treat bacteremia caused by MRSA and MRSE in patients with CLCR of 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2. For patients with CLCR ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2, it would be necessary to employ a dose of 10 mg/kg/day to treat complicated bacteremias.

Real-time TDM-based optimization of continuous-infusion meropenem for improving treatment outcome of febrile neutropenia in oncohaematological patients: results from a prospective, monocentric, interventional study. J Antimicrob Chemother 2021; 75:3029-3037. [PMID: 32681168 PMCID: PMC7678894 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkaa267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 05/18/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To assess the role that real-time therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)-guided optimization of continuous-infusion (CI) meropenem may have in maximizing empirical treatment and in preventing breakthrough infection and/or colonization with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) among oncohaematological patients with febrile neutropenia (FN). Methods A monocentric, interventional, prospective study was conducted. The pharmacodynamic (PD) target was a steady-state meropenem concentration-to-MIC ratio (Css/MIC) of 4–8. The primary endpoint was 14 day all-cause mortality. The secondary endpoint was the prevalence of CRE colonization in rectal swabs of patients rehospitalized within 3 months. Results Among the 75 patients enrolled, most (56%) had AML, almost half (37/75, 49.3%) underwent HSCT and one-third (32%) received meropenem as monotherapy. Meropenem dosages were adjusted in 30.1% of TDM reassessments. Gram-negative infections were microbiologically documented in 20.0% of patients. All of the 12 patients having infections caused by in vitro meropenem-susceptible pathogens attained the desired PD target and were cured. Three patients had infections caused by in vitro meropenem-resistant pathogens. Two of these achieved a Css/MIC target of 1 and were cured; the other one achieved a suboptimal PD target (0.59) and died. The 14 day all-cause mortality (10.7%) was significantly associated, at multivariate regression, with HSCT (OR 0.086, 95% CI 0.008–0.936, P = 0.044) and with augmented renal clearance (OR 10.846, 95% CI 1.534–76.672, P = 0.017). None of the patients who had hospital readmissions in the 3 month follow-up (63/75) had CRE colonization in rectal swabs. Conclusions Real-time TDM-guided CI meropenem may be a useful approach for attaining adequate exposure and preventing CRE emergence in FN oncohaematological patients.

Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis and Dosing Optimization Based on Unbound Daptomycin Concentration and Cystatin C in Nonobese Elderly Patients with Hypoalbuminemia and Chronic Kidney Disease. Pharm Res 2021; 38:1041-1055.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the population pharmacokinetics of daptomycin in nonobese elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) using the glomerular filtration rate estimated from cystatin C (eGFRcys) and estimated its optimal dose. METHODS We performed population pharmacokinetic analysis of the unbound concentrations of daptomycin. The probability of target attainment of 90% for achieving an area under the concentration-time curve of unbound daptomycin at steady state/ minimum inhibitory concentration ratio of ≥66.6 was stochastically simulated. RESULTS In the population pharmacokinetic analysis of 25 patients aged ≥65 years, the two-compartment model using eGFRcys and age as covariates of clearance in central compartment of unbound daptomycin were optimal. The unbound fraction rate (fu) was 0.05-0.14. According to the Monte Carlo simulation, the optimal doses for patients with eGFRcys of 20-60 mL/min and aged 65-95 years were calculated as 200-500 mg q24h. CONCLUSION These results suggest that establishing the dose using total concentrations may result in under- or overestimation caused by alterations in fu. The optimal dose for nonobese elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia and CKD depends on eGFRcys and age, and a standard dose may be insufficient for some patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the population pharmacokinetics (PPK) of daptomycin in kidney transplant patients. The present study established a pharmacokinetic model for daptomycin in kidney transplant patients in China and examinee the important factors affecting the pharmacokinetic parameters of daptomycin. METHODS The study population included 49 kidney transplant patients with 537 daptomycin concentrations. The PPK model of daptomycin was developed using a nonlinear mixed-effects model, a two-compartment structural model, and a mixed residual error model. The stability and predictive ability of the final model were evaluated based on bootstrapping, visual prediction checks and normalized prediction distribution errors. RESULTS Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and total body weight significantly affected clearance, and body weight influenced the central volume of distribution. The average clearance of the population was 0.316 L/h, the central volume of distribution was 6.04 L, the intercompartmental clearance was 2.31 L/h, and the peripheral volume of distribution was 2.46 L. Based on the established model and the target of area under curve (AUC0-24h)/minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) ≥666, we developed a recommended dose regimen for kidney transplant patients according to their renal function and weight. The daily doses were 4.0±0.31, 4.7±0.36, 5.1±0.40, 5.5±0.43, 5.8±0.45, and 6.1±0.48 mg/kg when the GFRs were 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively. CONCLUSION This study provides a reference for individualized daptomycin administration in kidney transplant recipients, and it is a valuable resource for improving the treatment effect and reducing the toxic effects of daptomycin.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AR) is a problem that threatens the search for adequate safe and effective antibiotic therapy against multi-resistant bacteria like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) and Clostridium difficile, among others. Daptomycin is the treatment of choice for some infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, indicated most of the time in patients with special clinical conditions where its high pharmacokinetic variability (PK) does not allow adequate plasma concentrations to be reached. The objective of this review is to describe the data available about the type of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) method used and described so far in hospitalized patients with daptomycin and to describe its impact on therapeutic success, suppression of bacterial resistance, and control of side effects. The need to create worldwide strategies for the appropriate use of antibiotics is clear, and one of these is the performance of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). TDM helps to achieve a dose adjustment and obtain a favorable clinical outcome for patients by measuring plasma concentrations of an administered drug, making a rational interpretation guided by a predefined concentration range, and, thus, adjusting dosages individually.

Abstract
Due to the low level of resistance observed with daptomycin, this antibiotic has an important place in the treatment of severe Gram-positive infections. It is the first-in-class of the group of calcium-dependent, membrane-binding lipopeptides, and is a cyclic peptide constituted of 13 amino acids and an n-decanoyl fatty acid chain. The antibacterial action of daptomycin requires its complexation with calcium. Daptomycin is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and needs to be administered parenterally. The distribution of daptomycin is limited (volume of distribution of 0.1 L/kg in healthy volunteers) due to its negative charge at physiological pH and its high binding to plasma proteins (about 90%). Its elimination is mainly renal, with about 50% of the dose excreted unchanged in the urine, justifying dosage adjustment for patients with renal insufficiency. The pharmacokinetics of daptomycin are altered under certain pathophysiological conditions, resulting in high interindividual variability. As a result, therapeutic drug monitoring of daptomycin may be of interest for certain patients, such as intensive care unit patients, patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency, dialysis patients, obese patients, or children. A target for the ratio of the area under the curve to the minimum inhibitory concentration > 666 is usually recommended for clinical efficacy, whereas in order to limit the risk of undesirable muscular effects the residual concentration should not exceed 24.3 mg/L.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Continuous-Infusion Meropenem in Febrile Neutropenic Patients with Hematologic Malignancies: Dosing Strategies for Optimizing Empirical Treatment against Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12090785. [PMID: 32825109 PMCID: PMC7560225 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12090785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 08/10/2020] [Accepted: 08/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
A population pharmacokinetic analysis of continuous infusion (CI) meropenem was conducted in a prospective cohort of febrile neutropenic (FN) patients with hematologic malignancies. A non-parametric approach with Pmetrics was used for pharmacokinetic analysis and covariate evaluation. Monte Carlo simulations were performed for identifying the most appropriate dosages for empirical treatment against common Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa. The probability of target attainment (PTA) of steady-state meropenem concentration (Css)-to-minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio (Css/MIC) ≥1 and ≥4 at the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) clinical breakpoint of 2 mg/L were calculated. Cumulative fraction of response (CFR) against Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa were assessed as well. PTAs and CFRs ≥ 90% were considered optimal. A total of 61 patients with 178 meropenem Css were included. Creatinine clearance (CLCR) was the only covariate associated with meropenem clearance. Monte Carlo simulations showed that dosages of meropenem ranging between 1 g q8h and 1.25 g q6h by CI may grant optimal PTAs of Css/MIC ≥4 at the EUCAST clinical breakpoint. Optimal CFRs may be granted with these dosages against the Enterobacterales at Css/MIC ≥ 4 and against P. aeruginosa at Css/MIC ≥ 1. When dealing against P. aeruginosa at Css/MIC ≥ 4, only a dosage of 1.5 g q6h by CI may grant quasi-optimal CFR (around 80–87%). In conclusion, our findings suggest that dosages of meropenem ranging between 1 g q8h and 1.25 g q6h by CI may maximize empirical treatment against Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa among FN patients with hematologic malignancies having different degree of renal function.

Pharmacodynamic Analysis of Daptomycin-treated Enterococcal Bacteremia: It Is Time to Change the Breakpoint. Clin Infect Dis 2020; 68:1650-1657. [PMID: 30188976 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciy749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2018] [Accepted: 08/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is debate over whether the daptomycin susceptibility breakpoint for enterococci (ie, minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] ≤4 mg/L) is appropriate. In bacteremia, observational data support prescription of high doses (>8 mg/kg). However, pharmacodynamic targets associated with positive patient outcomes are undefined. METHODS Data were pooled from observational studies that assessed outcomes in daptomycin-treated enterococcal bacteremia. Patients who received an additional antienterococcal antibiotic and/or a β-lactam antibiotic at any time during treatment were excluded. Daptomycin exposures were calculated using a published population pharmacokinetic model. The free drug area under the concentration-time curve to MIC ratio (fAUC/MIC) threshold predictive of survival at 30 days was identified by classification and regression tree analysis and confirmed with multivariable logistic regression. Monte Carlo simulations determined the probability of target attainment (PTA) at clinically relevant MICs. RESULTS Of 114 patients who received daptomycin monotherapy, 67 (58.8%) were alive at 30 days. A fAUC/MIC >27.43 was associated with survival in low-acuity (n = 77) patients (68.9 vs 37.5%, P = .006), which remained significant after adjusting for infection source and immunosuppression (P = .026). The PTA for a 6-mg/kg/day (every 24 hours) dose was 1.5%-5.5% when the MIC was 4 mg/L (ie, daptomycin-susceptible) and 91.0%-97.9% when the MIC was 1 mg/L. CONCLUSIONS For enterococcal bacteremia, a daptomycin fAUC/MIC >27.43 was associated with 30-day survival among low-acuity patients. As pharmacodynamics for the approved dose are optimized only when MIC ≤1 mg/L, these data continue to stress the importance of reevaluation of the susceptibility breakpoint.

Genetic polymorphisms of ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) as a covariate influencing daptomycin pharmacokinetics: a population analysis in patients with bone and joint infection. J Antimicrob Chemother 2020; 74:1012-1020. [PMID: 30629193 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dky541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2018] [Revised: 11/08/2018] [Accepted: 11/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Daptomycin has been recognized as a therapeutic option for the treatment of bone and joint infection (BJI). Gene polymorphism of ABCB1, the gene encoding P-glycoprotein (P-gp), may influence daptomycin pharmacokinetics (PK). OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine population PK of daptomycin and its determinants, including genetic factors, in patients with BJI. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed data from patients who received daptomycin for BJI between 2012 and 2016 in our regional reference centre and who had measured daptomycin concentrations and P-gp genotyping. A population approach was used to analyse PK data. In covariate analysis, we examined the influence of three single nucleotide variations (SNVs) of ABCB1 (3435C > T, 2677G > T/A and 1236C > T) and that of the corresponding haplotype on daptomycin PK parameters. Simulations performed with the final model examined the influence of covariates on the probability to achieve pharmacodynamic (PD) targets. RESULTS Data from 81 patients were analysed. Daptomycin body CL (CLDAP) correlated with CLCR and was 23% greater in males than in females. Daptomycin central V (V1) was allometrically scaled to body weight and was 25% lower in patients with homozygous CGC ABCB1 haplotype than in patients with any other genotype. Simulations performed with the model showed that sex and P-gp haplotype may influence the PTA for high MIC values and that a dosage of 10 mg/kg/24 h would optimize efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Daptomycin dosages higher than currently recommended should be evaluated in patients with BJI. Gender and P-gp gene polymorphism should be further examined as determinants of dosage requirements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of daptomycin against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium bacteraemia using computer modelling. METHODS Data obtained in vitro from time-kill curves were evaluated by PK/PD modelling and Monte Carlo simulations to determine the logarithmic reduction in the number of colony-forming units (CFU)/mL over 18 days of daptomycin treatment at 6, 8, and 10 mg/kg doses every 24 or 48 h and with variations in creatinine clearance (CLCR) of 15-29, 30-49, and 50-100 mL/min/1.73 m2. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate the probability of target attainment (PTA) for an area under the unbound drug concentration-time curve/minimum inhibitory concentration (fAUC/MIC) > 36 at the same doses and CLCR. RESULTS Static time-kill model was employed to investigate the antibacterial efficacy of constant daptomycin concentrations. The time-kill curve analysis was performed using mathematical modelling based on a Hill coefficient factor. There was an expressive reduction (> 2 Log CFU/mL) over 18 days of daptomycin treatment in 75th percentile of individuals with CLCR of 15-100 mL/min/1.73 m2) with daptomycin 6-10 mg/kg/day, except for daptomycin every 48 h. Using fAUC/MIC > 36, PTA was > 90% at MICs ≤ 2 μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS Higher daptomycin doses were associated with higher mortality in time-kill curves. The simulations indicated that independent of the CLCR the therapeutic responses of VRE occur with doses of daptomycin ≥ 6 mg/kg/day and daptomycin every 48 h is insufficient to treat enterococcal bacteraemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) have been achieved in the last years, improving clinical outcome. However, mortality associated with some pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp., is still high. In addition, the spread of antibiotic resistance, mainly among Gram-negative bacteria, reduces treatment options in some circumstances. Therefore, interest in new drugs, combination regimens and optimal dosing schedules is rising. OBJECTIVES Our aim is to summarize the current evidence on available antibiotic regimens for patients with bacterial BSI, focusing on drug choice, combination regimens and optimal dosing schedules. We selected bacteria that are difficult to manage because of virulence factors (i.e. methicillin-susceptible S. aureus), tolerance to antibiotic activity (i.e. Enterococcus faecalis), and/or susceptibility patterns (i.e. methicillin-resistant S. aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii). SOURCES MEDLINE search with English language and publication in the last 5 years as limits. CONTENT AND IMPLICATIONS The literature gaps on the use of new drugs, the uncertainties regarding the use of combination regimens, and the need to optimize dosing schedules in some circumstances (e.g. augmented renal clearance, renal replacement therapy, high inoculum BSI sources, and isolation of bacteria showing high MICs) have been revised.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of voriconazole and to identify factors that significantly affect pharmacokinetic parameters and to further investigate optimal dosage regimens in Chinese adult patients with hematologic malignancies. METHODS A prospective population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed on 186 concentration measurements obtained from 41 adult patients with hematologic malignancies. All enrolled patients were treated with voriconazole for diagnosed or suspected invasive fungal diseases. Oral voriconazole was routinely administered at a maintenance dose of 200 mg q12h. Serial blood samples were collected after steady-state of each patient. Monte Carlo simulation was applied to optimize dosage strategies. FINDINGS A one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination adequately described the data. The typical voriconazole clearance was 4.18 L/h, the volume of distribution was 88.9 L, and the absorption rate constant was 0.729 h-1. Clearance and steady-state exposure (AUC0-12) were found to be significantly associated with age and CYP2C19 phenotype. The average AUC0-12 of elderly patients (aged 60-90 years) was 2.1 times higher than that of relative younger patients (aged 18-59 years). The average AUC0-12 of poor metabolizers (PMs) was approximately 2.5 and 1.8 times higher than that of extensive and intermediate metabolizers (IMs), respectively. Considering both efficacy and tolerability, dosage regimens of 100 and 50 mg orally administered every 12 hours were recommended for elderly IMs and PMs, respectively. IMPLICATIONS A population pharmacokinetic model for voriconazole in Chinese adult patients with hematologic malignancies was successfully developed and could well capture voriconazole's pharmacokinetic characteristics. Age and CYP2C19 phenotype were found to significantly influence voriconazole clearance and should be taken into consideration clinically for dose optimization. The optimal dosage strategies in specific clinical scenarios were proposed in this study based on model simulation. Because of the high incidence of mutant CYP2C19*2 and *3 alleles, genetic testing seems to be necessary for Asian elderly patients when voriconazole treatment is initiated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is debate over whether the daptomycin susceptibility breakpoint for enterococci (ie, minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] ≤4 mg/L) is appropriate. In bacteremia, observational data support prescription of high doses (>8 mg/kg). However, pharmacodynamic targets associated with positive patient outcomes are undefined. METHODS Data were pooled from observational studies that assessed outcomes in daptomycin-treated enterococcal bacteremia. Patients who received an additional antienterococcal antibiotic and/or a β-lactam antibiotic at any time during treatment were excluded. Daptomycin exposures were calculated using a published population pharmacokinetic model. The free drug area under the concentration-time curve to MIC ratio (fAUC/MIC) threshold predictive of survival at 30 days was identified by classification and regression tree analysis and confirmed with multivariable logistic regression. Monte Carlo simulations determined the probability of target attainment (PTA) at clinically relevant MICs. RESULTS Of 114 patients who received daptomycin monotherapy, 67 (58.8%) were alive at 30 days. A fAUC/MIC >27.43 was associated with survival in low-acuity (n = 77) patients (68.9 vs 37.5%, P = .006), which remained significant after adjusting for infection source and immunosuppression (P = .026). The PTA for a 6-mg/kg/day (every 24 hours) dose was 1.5%-5.5% when the MIC was 4 mg/L (ie, daptomycin-susceptible) and 91.0%-97.9% when the MIC was 1 mg/L. CONCLUSIONS For enterococcal bacteremia, a daptomycin fAUC/MIC >27.43 was associated with 30-day survival among low-acuity patients. As pharmacodynamics for the approved dose are optimized only when MIC ≤1 mg/L, these data continue to stress the importance of reevaluation of the susceptibility breakpoint.

Current use of daptomycin and systematic therapeutic drug monitoring: Clinical experience in a tertiary care institution. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2018; 53:40-48. [PMID: 30243587 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2018.09.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2018] [Revised: 09/13/2018] [Accepted: 09/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could optimise daptomycin use. However, no validated serum target levels have been established. This prospective study at a tertiary centre including hospitalised patients receiving daptomycin aimed to evaluate the adequacy of daptomycin doses in a real-life study, assess interpatient variability in serum levels, identify predictive factors for non-adequate serum levels and assess their clinical impact. Blood samples [trough (Cmin) and peak (Cmax) levels] were drawn ≥3 days post-treatment initiation. Serum daptomycin concentrations were determined by HPLC. Outcome was classified as: (i) favourable, if clinical improvement or cure occurred with no adverse events; or (ii) poor, in the case of no clinical response, recurrence, related mortality or if adverse events were detected. Sixty-three patients (63.5% male; median age 63.0 years) were included. The most common indications for daptomycin use were bacteraemia (46.0%), complicated skin and soft-tissue infection (30.2%) and endovascular infection (15.9%). The initial dosage was adequate in 43 patients (68.3%), low in 14 (22.2%) and high in 6 (9.5%). Large interindividual variability in serum levels was observed, with a median Cmin of 10.6 mg/L (range 1.3-44.7 mg/L) and median Cmax of 44.0 mg/L (range 3.0-93.7 mg/L). Multivariate analysis showed that Cmin < 3.18 mg/L was independently related to poor outcome (OR = 6.465, 95% CI 1.032-40.087; P = 0.046). High variability in daptomycin use and serum levels was detected. Specific serum targets were identified as risk factors for poor outcome. TDM might be useful to optimise daptomycin doses and to avoid therapeutic failure.

Lv C, Liu C, Yao Z, Gao X, Sun L, Liu J, Song H, Li Z, Du X, Sun J, Li Y, Ye K, Wang R, Huang Y. The Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Warfarin When Combined with Compound Danshen: A Case Study for Combined Treatment of Coronary Heart Diseases with Atrial Fibrillation. Front Pharmacol 2017; 8:826. [PMID: 29209208 PMCID: PMC5702344 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2017] [Accepted: 10/31/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Warfarin is used as anticoagulant and Compound Danshen prescription (CDP) is able to promote blood circulation. The combination might produce a synergic effect for patients of coronary heart diseases (CHDs) with atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether the combination increases the bleeding risk of warfarin is unclear, so the effects of Compound Danshen dripping pill (CDDP) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profiles of warfarin was investigated in patients. The dose and blood concentrations of warfarin, the four indicators of blood coagulation, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplatin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, and international normalized ratio value were compared when with and without CDDP treatment. The population PK (PPK) and PPK-PD models were established to assess patient demographics, genetic polymorphisms and CDDP as covariates. And the Seattle Angina Questionnaire was used to evaluate clinical efficacy, and the bleeding risk of combination was analyzed. The results indicated that CDDP had little influence on PK and PD profiles of warfarin in most patients and the combination of CCDP and warfarin would be a promising alternative regime for CHD with AF patients. The study was registered on China Clinical Trial Registry with number ChiCTR-ONRC-13003523.
