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.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1378872.

Abstract
Daptomycin is gaining prominence for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections. However, the dosage selection for daptomycin in critically ill patients remains uncertain, especially in Chinese patients. This study aimed to establish the population pharmacokinetics of daptomycin in critically ill patients, optimize clinical administration plans, and recommend appropriate dosage for critically ill patients in China. The study included 64 critically ill patients. Blood samples were collected at the designated times. The blood daptomycin concentration was determined using validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A nonlinear mixed-effects model was applied for the population pharmacokinetic analysis and Monte Carlo simulations of daptomycin. The results showed a two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model of daptomycin in critically ill adult Han Chinese patients. Monte Carlo simulations revealed that a daily dose of 400 mg of daptomycin was insufficient for the majority of critically ill adult patients to achieve the anti-infective target. For critically ill adult patients with normal renal function (creatinine clearance rate >90 mL/min), the probability of achieving the target only reached 90% when the daily dose was increased to 700 mg. For patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), 24 h administration of 500 mg met the pharmacodynamic goals and did not exceed the safety threshold in most patients. Therefore, considering its efficacy and safety, intravenous daptomycin doses are best scaled according to creatinine clearance, and an increased dose is recommended for critically ill patients with hyperrenalism. For patients receiving CRRT, medication is recommended at 24 h intervals.

Abstract
Adequate dosing of antimicrobials is paramount for treating infections in critically ill patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy; however, little is known about antimicrobial removal by sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED). The objective was to quantify the removal of cefepime, daptomycin, meropenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, and vancomycin in patients undergoing SLED. Adult patients ≥18 years with acute kidney injury (AKI) or end-stage kidney disease receiving one of the select antimicrobials and requiring SLED were included. Blood and dialysate flow rates were maintained at 250 and 100 mL/min, respectively. Simultaneous arterial and venous blood samples for the analysis of antibiotic concentrations were collected hourly for 8 hours during SLED (on-SLED). Arterial samples were collected every 2 hours for up to 6 hours while not receiving SLED (off-SLED) for the calculation of SLED clearance, half-life (t1/2) on-SLED and off-SLED, and the fraction of removal by SLED (fD). Twenty-one patients completed the study: 52% male, mean age (±SD) 53 ± 13 years, and mean weight of 98 ± 30 kg. Eighty-six percent had AKI, and 4 patients were receiving cefepime, 3 daptomycin, 10 meropenem, 6 piperacillin-tazobactam, and 13 vancomycin. The average SLED time was 7.3 ± 1.1 hours, and the mean ultrafiltration rate was 95 ± 52 mL/hour (range 10-211). The t1/2 on-SLED was substantially lower than the off-SLED t1/2 for all antimicrobials, and the SLED fD varied between 44% and 77%. An 8-hour SLED session led to significant elimination of most antimicrobials evaluated. If SLED is performed, modification of the dosing regimen is warranted to avoid subtherapeutic concentrations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few drug dosing recommendations for patients receiving home hemodialysis (HHD) have been published which has hindered the adoption of HHD. HHD regimens vary widely and differ considerably from conventional, thrice weekly, in-center hemodialysis in terms of treatment frequency, duration and blood and dialysate flow rates. Consequently, vancomycin and daptomycin clearances in HHD are also likely to be different, consequently HHD dosing regimens must be developed to ensure efficacy and minimize toxicity when these antibiotics are used. Many HHD regimens are used clinically, this study modeled ten common HHD regimens and determined optimal vancomycin and daptomycin dosing for each HHD regimen. METHODS Monte Carlo simulations using pharmacokinetic data derived from the literature and demographic data from a large HHD program treating patients with end stage kidney disease were incorporated into a one-compartment pharmacokinetic model. Virtual vancomycin and daptomycin doses were administered post-HHD and drug exposures were determined in 5,000 virtual patients receiving ten different HHD regimens. Serum concentration monitoring with subsequent dose changes was incorporated into the vancomycin models. Pharmacodynamic target attainment rates were determined for each studied dose. The lowest possible doses that met predefined targets in virtual patients were chosen as optimal doses. RESULTS HHD frequency, total dialysate volumes and HHD durations influenced drug exposure and led to different dosing regimens to meet targets. Antibiotic dosing regimens were identified that could meet targets for 3- and 7-h HHD regimens occurring every other day or 4-5 days/week. HHD regimens with 3-day interdialytic periods required higher doses prior to the 3-day period. The addition of vancomycin serum concentration monitoring allowed for calculation of necessary dosing changes which increased the number of virtual subjects meeting pharmacodynamic targets. CONCLUSIONS Doses of vancomycin and daptomycin that will meet desired pharmacodynamic targets in HHD are dependent on patient and HHD-specific factors. Doses used in conventional thrice weekly hemodialysis are unlikely to meet treatment goals. The antibiotic regimens paired with the HHD parameters studied in this analysis are likely to meet goals but require clinical validation.

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.

Hypoalbuminemia and Pharmacokinetics: When the Misunderstanding of a Fundamental Concept Leads to Repeated Errors over Decades. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12030515.

Abstract
Surprisingly, misinterpretation of the influence of hypoalbuminemia on pharmacokinetics and the clinical effects of drugs seems to be a current problem, even though hypoalbuminemia has no impact on the pharmacologically active exposure. Exceptions to this fact are highly protein-bound anaesthetics with high elimination capacity (i.e., <5 drugs on the market). To assess the frequency of misinterpretation of the influence of hypoalbuminemia on pharmacokinetics and the clinical effects of drugs between 1975 and 2021, a PubMed literature review was conducted. Each paragraph on albumin binding was classified as correct, ambiguous or incorrect, creating two acceptable categories: (1) content without any errors, and (2) content containing some incorrect and/or ambiguous statements. The analyses of these articles showed that fewer than 11% of articles contained no interpretation errors. In order to contain this misinterpretation, several measures are proposed: (1) Make the message accessible to a wide audience by offering a simplified and didactic video representation of the lack of impact of albumin binding to drugs. (2) Precise terminology (unbound/free form/concentration) should be used for highly bound drugs. (3) Unbound/free forms should be systematically quantified for highly plasma protein bound drugs for clinical trials as well as for therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Unbound daptomycin concentrations are responsible for pharmacologically beneficial and adverse effects, although most previous reports have been limited to the use of total concentrations. We developed a population pharmacokinetic model to predict both total and unbound daptomycin concentrations. METHODS Clinical data were collected from 58 patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus including patients undergoing hemodialysis. A total of 339 serum total and 329 unbound daptomycin concentrations were used for model construction. RESULTS Total and unbound daptomycin concentration was explained by a model that assumed first-order distribution with two compartments, and first-order elimination. Normal fat body mass was identified as covariates. Renal function was incorporated as a linear function of renal clearance and independent non-renal clearance. The unbound fraction was estimated to be 0.066 with a standard albumin of 45 g/L and standard creatinine clearance of 100 mL/min. Simulated unbound daptomycin concentration was compared with minimum inhibitory concentration as a measure of clinical effectiveness and exposure-level-related induction of creatine phosphokinase elevation. The recommended doses were 4 mg/kg for patients with severe renal function [creatinine clearance (CLcr) ≤ 30 mL/min] and 6 mg/kg for patients with mild to moderate renal function (CLcr > 30 and ≤ 60 mL/min). A simulation indicated that dose adjusted by body weight and renal function improved target attainment. CONCLUSIONS This population pharmacokinetics model for unbound daptomycin could help clinicians to select the appropriate dose regimen for patients undergoing daptomycin treatment and reduce associated adverse effects.

Abstract
Bone and joint infections (BJI) caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. (VRE) are difficult to treat due to limited antibiotic options. Although linezolid can be used for VRE treatment, it is often discontinued due to time-dependent bone marrow suppression. Daptomycin, a lipopeptide antibiotic agent with rapid bactericidal activity, is another available therapeutic option for VRE infections. We report a case of VRE BJI successfully treated with a high dose of daptomycin plus β-lactam agents. An 84-year-old man received linezolid for the treatment of VRE BJI. After 2 weeks of therapy, the patient experienced bleeding events associated with linezolid-induced bone marrow toxicity and linezolid was discontinued. Next, high-dose daptomycin therapy combined with a β-lactam agent was selected to treat the remaining VRE BJI. During daptomycin treatment, microbiological eradication was achieved, and the patient clinically improved without evidence of adverse events. We highlight the need for daptomycin use for the treatment of VRE infections, especially in cases where linezolid is ineffective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic prescription is a challenging issue in critical care settings. Different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, polypharmacy, drug interactions, and high incidence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms in this population can influence the selection, safety, and efficacy of prescribed antibiotics. AREAS COVERED In the current article we searched PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar for neurotoxicities, hematologic toxicity and fluid stewardship in intensive care units. EXPERT OPINION Critically ill patients who receive antimicrobial agents should be monitored for neurological, hematologic toxicities especially seizure, thrombocytopenia, and clostridioides infections. Other toxicities including QTc prolongation, electrolyte disturbances, liver enzyme elevation, and infusion-related reactions were being considered. Other changes, including fluid overload, hypoalbuminemia, augmented renal clearance, increased cardiac outputs in septic shock, and acute kidney injury, may influence treatment efficiency and patient outcome.

Abstract
The dosage regimen of vancomycin, teicoplanin and daptomycin remains controversial for critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Monte Carlo simulation was applied to identify the optimal regimens of antimicrobial agents in patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections based on the mechanisms of different CRRT modalities on drug clearance. The optimal vancomycin dosage for patients received a CRRT doses ≤ 30 mL/kg/h was 20 mg/kg loading dose followed by 500 mg every 8 h, while 1 g every 12 h was appropriate when 35 mL/kg/h was prescribed. The optimal teicoplanin dosage under a CRRT dose ≤ 25 mL/kg/h was four loading doses of 10 mg/kg every 12 h followed by 10 mg/kg every 48 h, 8 mg/kg every 24 h and 6 mg/kg every 24 h for continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, continuous veno-venous hemodialysis and continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration, respectively. When the CRRT dose increased to 30–35 mL/kg/h, the teicoplanin dosage should be increased by 30%. The recommended regimen for daptomycin was 6–8 mg/kg every 24 h under a CRRT dose ≤ 25 mL/kg/h, while 8–10 mg/kg every 24 h was optimal under 30–35 mg/kg/h. The CRRT dose has an impact on probability of target attainment and CRRT modality only influences teicoplanin.

Abstract
Poisoning and toxic ingestions cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Extracorporeal therapies such as dialysis, haemoperfusion and plasma exchange are selectively applied to patients with severe intoxications unresponsive to standard interventions and can be lifesaving. Extracorporeal therapies are a complex but fundamental aspect of the practice of nephrology. Without high-quality evidence to guide implementation, an understanding of toxicokinetics and the physiochemical principles of the enhanced elimination techniques is especially important. This review provides a comphrensive, user-friendly outline of the application of extracorporeal therapy in the poisoned patient.

Correlation of antimicrobial fraction unbound and sieving coefficient in critically ill patients on continuous renal replacement therapy: a systematic review. J Antimicrob Chemother 2021; 77:310-319. [DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkab396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Fraction unbound has been used as a surrogate for antimicrobial sieving coefficient (SC) to predict extracorporeal clearance in critically ill patients on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), but this is based largely on expert opinion.
Objectives
To examine relationships between package insert-derived fraction unbound (Fu-P), study-specific fraction unbound (Fu-S), and SC in critically ill patients receiving CRRT.
Methods
English-language studies containing patient-specific in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters for antimicrobials in critically ill patients requiring CRRT were included. The primary outcome included correlations between Fu-S, Fu-P, and SC. Secondary outcomes included correlations across protein binding quartiles, serum albumin, and predicted in-hospital mortality, and identification of predictors for SC through multivariable analysis.
Results
Eighty-nine studies including 32 antimicrobials were included for analysis. SC was moderately correlated to Fu-S (R2 = 0.55, P < 0.001) and Fu-P (R2 = 0.41, P < 0.001). SC was best correlated to Fu-S in first (<69%) and fourth (>92%) quartiles of fraction unbound and above median albumin concentrations of 24.5 g/L (R2 = 0.71, P = 0.07). Conversely, correlation was weaker in patients with mortality estimates greater than the median of 55% (R2 = 0.06, P = 0.84). SC and Fu-P were also best correlated in the first quartile of antimicrobial fraction unbound (R2 = 0.66, P < 0.001). Increasing Fu-P, flow rate, membrane surface area, and serum albumin, and decreasing physiologic charge significantly predicted increasing SC.
Conclusions
Fu-S and Fu-P were both reasonably correlated to SC. Caution should be taken when using Fu-S to calculate extracorporeal clearance in antimicrobials with 69%–92% fraction unbound or with >55% estimated in-hospital patient mortality. Fu-P may serve as a rudimentary surrogate for SC when Fu-S is unavailable.

Abstract
(1) Purpose of this study: determination of adsorption and transmembrane clearances (CLTM) of imipenem and relebactam in ex vivo continuous hemofiltration (CH) and continuous hemodialysis (CHD) models. These clearances were incorporated into a Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), to develop drug dosing recommendations for critically ill patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT); (2) Methods: A validated ex vivo bovine blood CH and CHD model using two hemodiafilters. Imipenem/relebactam and urea CLTM at different ultrafiltrate/dialysate flow rates were evaluated in both CH and CHD. MCS was performed to determine dose recommendations for patients receiving CRRT; (3) Results: Neither imipenem nor relebactam adsorbed to the CRRT apparatus. The CLTM of imipenem, relebactam, and urea approximated the effluent rates (ultrafiltrate/dialysate flow rates). The types of hemodiafilter and effluent rates did not influence CLTM except in a dialysis flow rate of 1 L/h and 6 L/h in the CHD with relebactam (p < 0.05). Imipenem and relebactam 200 mg/100 mg every 6 h were sufficient to meet the standard time above the MIC pharmacodynamic targets in the modeled CRRT regimen of 25 kg/mL/h. (4) Conclusions: Imipenem and relebactam are not removed by adsorption to the CRRT apparatus, but readily cross the hemodiafilter membrane in CH and CHD. Dosage adjustment of imipenem/relebactam is likely required for critically ill patients receiving CRRT.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients, which is associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Delivering effective antibiotics to treat patients with sepsis receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (RRT) is complicated by variability in pharmacokinetics, dialysis delivery, lack of primary literature, and therapeutic drug monitoring. Pharmacokinetic alterations include changes in absorption, distribution, protein binding (PB), metabolism, and renal elimination. Drug absorption may be significantly changed due to alterations in gastric pH, perfusion, gastrointestinal motility, and intestinal atrophy. Volume of distribution for hydrophilic drugs may be increased due to volume overload. Estimation of renal clearance is challenged by the effective delivery of RRT. Drug characteristics such as PB, volume of distribution, and molecular weight impact removal of the drug by RRT. The totality of these alterations leads to reduced exposure. Despite our best knowledge, therapeutic drug monitoring of patients receiving continuous RRT demonstrates wide variability in antimicrobial concentrations, highlighting the need for expanded monitoring of all drugs. This review article will focus on changes in drug pharmacokinetics in AKI and dosing considerations to attain antibiotic pharmacodynamic targets in critically ill patients receiving continuous RRT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRTs) are essential in the treatment of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and are also discussed as a supporting sepsis therapy. CRRT can affect antibiotics plasma concentrations. OBJECTIVE The effect of continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) with an asymmetric triacetate (ATA) membrane hemofilter on concentrations of antibiotics with low (meropenem), medium (vancomycin), and high (daptomycin) protein binding (PB) was investigated. METHODS 1 L human whole blood supplemented with antibiotics was recirculated and filtrated for 6 h in vitro. Clearances and sieving coefficients (SC) were determined from antibiotics concentrations measured at filter inlet, outlet, and filtrate side. Reservoir concentration data were fitted using a first-order kinetic model. RESULTS Meropenem and vancomycin concentrations decreased to 5-10% of the initial plasma level, while only 50% of daptomycin were removed. Clearances and SCs were (10.8 [10.8-17.4] mL/min, SC = 0.72 [0.72-1.16]) for meropenem, (13.4 [12.3-13.7] mL/min, 0.89 [0.82-0.92]) for vancomycin, and (2.1 [1.8-2.1] mL/min, 0.14 [0.12-0.14]) for daptomycin. Removal by adsorption was negligible. CONCLUSIONS The clearances and SCs presented are comparable with findings of other authors. Meropenem and vancomycin, which exhibit low and medium PB, respectively, were strongly removed, while considerably less daptomycin was removed because of its high PB. Our results suggest that in clinical use of the tested antibiotics during CRRT with the ATA hemofilter, the same factors have to be considered for determining the dosing strategy as with filters with other commonly applied membrane materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate evidence for high-dose daptomycin (doses ≥ 8 mg/kg/d). DATA SOURCES A PubMed/MEDLINE literature search was performed (January 2000 to December 2020) using the search terms daptomycin, high dose, and dosing. Review article references and society guidelines were reviewed. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Clinical trials, observational studies, retrospective studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews reporting on high-dose daptomycin were included. DATA SYNTHESIS Experimentally, daptomycin outperforms other antimicrobials for high inoculum and biofilm-associated infections. Clinically, high-dose daptomycin is supported as salvage and first-line therapy for endocarditis and bacteremia, primarily when caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (when vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration is >1 mg/L) and Enterococcus. High-dose daptomycin appears effective for osteomyelitis and central nervous system infections, although comparative studies are lacking. High dosing in renal replacement therapy requires considering clearance modality to achieve exposures like normal renal function. Weight-based dosing in obesity draws concern for elevated exposures, although high doses have not been evaluated kinetically in obesity. Some data show benefits of high doses in overweight populations. Burn patients clear daptomycin more rapidly, and high doses may only achieve drug exposures similar to standard doses (6 mg/kg). RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE This review analyzes the efficacy and safety of high-dose daptomycin in serious gram-positive infections. Discussion of specific infectious etiologies and patient populations should encourage clinicians to evaluate their daptomycin dosing standards. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of high-dose daptomycin and limited safety concerns encourage clinicians to consider high-dose daptomycin more liberally in severe gram-positive infections.

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.

Abstract
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is more and more widely used in patients for various indications recent years. It is still intricate for clinicians to decide a suitable empiric antimicrobial dosing for patients receiving CRRT. Inappropriate doses of antimicrobial agents may lead to treatment failure or drug resistance of pathogens. CRRT factors, patient individual conditions and drug pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics are the main elements effecting the antimicrobial dosing adjustment. With the development of CRRT techniques, some antimicrobial dosing recommendations in earlier studies were no longer appropriate for clinical use now. Here, we reviewed the literatures involving in new progresses of antimicrobial dosages, and complied the updated empirical dosing strategies based on CRRT modalities and effluent flow rates. The following antimicrobial agents were included for review: flucloxacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime/avibactam, cefepime, ceftolozane/tazobactam, sulbactam, meropenem, imipenem, panipenem, biapenem, ertapenem, doripenem, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, clindamycin, azithromycin, tigecycline, polymyxin B, colistin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, daptomycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconzole, caspofungin, micafungin, amphotericin B, acyclovir, ganciclovir, oseltamivir, and peramivir.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The dosing regimen of daptomycin for critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) remains controversial. The goal of this study was to provide guidance for optimal daptomycin therapy in CRRT patients with Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Methods
Individual concentration data of 32 CRRT subjects pooled from previously published studies were used to construct the population pharmacokinetic model for daptomycin. Model-based simulations were performed to evaluate the efficacy and risk of toxicity for daptomycin doses of 4, 6 and 8 mg/kg, q24h or q48h, under CRRT doses of 25, 30 and 35 mL/h/kg. Efficacy was assessed by the bacteriostatic and bactericidal AUC/MIC targets and drug exposure-based efficacy references. Toxicity was estimated by safety exposure references and the trough concentration threshold.
Results
A two-compartment model adequately described the pharmacokinetics of daptomycin. Efficacy analysis demonstrated that q48h dosing is associated with an extremely low probability of bactericidal target attainment on every second day after dosing and q24h dosing is preferred for a high probability of bactericidal target attainment. Toxicity evaluation showed that 8 mg/kg q24h has a high probability for reaching the toxicity-related concentration threshold, while 6 mg/kg q24h gives a satisfactory risk–benefit balance. The studied CRRT doses had a limited impact on efficacy and a CRRT dose of 30–35 mL/h/kg may lower the risk of toxicity.
Conclusions
The model predicted that the combination of 6 mg/kg q24h daptomycin dose and CRRT dose of 30–35 mL/h/kg would achieve the best balance of efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize current antibiotic dosing recommendations in critically ill patients receiving intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT), and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), including considerations for individualizing therapy. Data Sources: A literature search of PubMed from January 2008 to May 2019 was performed to identify English-language literature in which dosing recommendations were proposed for antibiotics commonly used in critically ill patients receiving IHD, PIRRT, or CRRT. Study Selection and Data Extraction: All pertinent reviews, selected studies, and references were evaluated to ensure appropriateness for inclusion. Data Synthesis: Updated empirical dosing considerations are proposed for antibiotics in critically ill patients receiving IHD, PIRRT, and CRRT with recommendations for individualizing therapy. Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice: This review defines principles for assessing renal function, identifies RRT system properties affecting drug clearance and drug properties affecting clearance during RRT, outlines pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic dosing considerations, reviews pertinent updates in the literature, develops updated empirical dosing recommendations, and highlights important factors for individualizing therapy in critically ill patients. Conclusions: Appropriate antimicrobial selection and dosing are vital to improve clinical outcomes. Dosing recommendations should be applied cautiously with efforts to consider local epidemiology and resistance patterns, antibiotic dosing and infusion strategies, renal replacement modalities, patient-specific considerations, severity of illness, residual renal function, comorbidities, and patient response to therapy. Recommendations provided herein are intended to serve as a guide in developing and revising therapy plans individualized to meet a patient's needs.

Abstract
A careful management of antimicrobials is essential in the critically ill with acute kidney injury, especially if renal replacement therapy is required. Acute kidney injury may lead per se to clinically significant modifications of drugs' pharmacokinetic parameters, and the need for renal replacement therapy represents a further variable that should be considered to avoid inappropriate antimicrobial therapy. The most important pharmacokinetic parameters, useful to determine the significance of extracorporeal removal of a given drug, are molecular weight, protein binding, and distribution volume. In many cases, the extracorporeal removal of antimicrobials can be relevant, with a consistent risk of underdosing-related treatment failure and/or potential onset of bacterial resistance. It should also be taken into account that renal replacement therapies are often not standardized in critically ill patients, and their impact on plasma drug concentrations may substantially vary in relation to membrane characteristics, treatment modality, and delivered dialysis dose. Thus, in this clinical scenario, the knowledge of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of different antimicrobial classes is crucial to tailor maintenance dose and/or time interval according to clinical needs. Finally, especially for antimicrobials known for a tight therapeutic range, therapeutic drug monitoring is strongly suggested to guide dosing adjustment in complex clinical settings, such as septic patients with acute kidney injury undergoing renal replacement therapy.

Abstract
This study presents outcome and pharmacokinetics of arsenic trioxide (ATO) metabolites in patients on continuous venovenous haemodialysis (CVVHD). Of 3 acute promyelocytic leukaemia patients receiving CVVHD in management of acute kidney injury, only 1 patient was included. The patient presented disseminated intravascular coagulation and acute kidney injury before induction therapy was conducted. CVVHD was performed and ATO was initiated. Species of ATO metabolites in plasma and effluent were analysed using high performance liquid chromatography-hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Plasma concentrations of AsIII , monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsinic acid with CVVHD were lower than those without CVVHD. Area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to the last sample with quantifiable concentration of AsIII without CVVHD was significantly higher than that with CVVHD (292.10 ng h/mL vs 195.86 ng h/mL, P = .037), which were not observed for monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsinic acid. Dialysate saturation of arsenic species was remarkable, especially for AsIII . Complete remission was achieved and renal function recovered. In this study, ATO can be used safely and effectively to treat acute promyelocytic leukaemia patients undergoing CVVHD without dose adjustment.

Development and validation of sensitive and selective quantification of total and free daptomycin in human plasma using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2018; 165:56-64. [PMID: 30502552 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2018.11.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2018] [Revised: 11/16/2018] [Accepted: 11/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Recently, several studies on pharmacokinetics parameters of daptomycin reported that plasma trough concentration was linked to efficacy and adverse effects, suggesting the usefulness of therapeutic drug monitoring. Although some methods for determining total daptomycin concentration using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry were established previously, no sensitive quantification method for free drug concentration was established. In this study, we aimed to develop a quantitative method of measuring both total and free daptomycin concentrations using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), by which both trough and maximum concentrations can be measured. Plasma samples were prepared by solid phase extraction. Free fractions were obtained by ultrafiltration. The assay fulfilled the requirements of US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for assay validation. The methods for total and free drug showed good fit over wide ranges of 0.5-200 and 0.04-40 μg/mL, with lower limits of quantitation of 0.5 and 0.04 μg/mL, respectively. Recovery rate of free daptomycin from ultrafiltration was approximately 100%. Extraction recovery rates of total and free drug measurements ranged from 57.1 to 67.4% and 54.6 to 62.3%, while matrix effect varied between 111.9 and 118.7% and 104.0 and 127.1%, respectively. The maximum and trough concentrations of total and free daptomycin in plasma from two patients in intensive care unit were successfully determined, demonstrating the feasibility of clinical application of the novel methods for determining plasma total and free daptomycin concentrations. In conclusion, we succeeded to develop a sensitive and selective method using UPLC-MS/MS for quantitative measurement of total and free daptomycin concentrations in plasma.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To determine adsorption and transmembrane clearances (CLTM) of rezafungin, a novel long-acting echinocandin, in continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH). METHODS A validated ex vivo bovine blood CVVH model using polysulfone and AN69 hemodiafilters was used to evaluate urea and rezafungin CLTM at 3 different ultrafiltrate flow rates. Rezafungin adsorption to the CRRT apparatus was determined for each hemodiafilter. RESULTS The sieving coefficient (SC) from CVVH with 3 different ultrafiltrate flow rates was 0 for both HF1400 and Multiflow-150 hemodiafilters, while urea SC was approximately 1 at all flow rates. Hemodiafilter type and ultrafiltrate flow rate did not influence CLTM. Rezafungin adsorption to the CVVH apparatus was not observed for either hemodiafilter. CONCLUSION Rezafungin is not removed by CVVH by membrane adsorption or via CLTM. Ultrafiltrate flow rates and hemodiafilter types are unlikely to influence rezafungin CLTM. No dosage adjustment of rezafungin is likely required for critically ill patients receiving CVVH.

Abstract
Daptomycin has shown activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria; however, the approved dosages usually seem insufficient for critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for daptomycin in critically ill patients and to estimate the success of the therapy by applying pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) criteria. Sixteen intensive care unit patients were included, four of whom underwent continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT). Blood and, when necessary, effluent samples were drawn after daptomycin administration at previously defined time points. A population approach using NONMEM 7.3 was performed to analyse data. Monte Carlo simulations were executed to evaluate the suitability of different dosage regimens. The probabilities of achieving the PK/PD target value associated with treatment success (ratio of the area under the plasma concentration-time curve over 24 h divided by the minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC24/MIC ≥ 666)) and to reach daptomycin concentrations linked to toxicity (minimum concentration at steady-state (Cminss) ≥ 24.3 mg/L) were calculated. The pharmacokinetics of daptomycin was best described by a one-compartment model. Elimination was conditioned by the creatinine clearance (Clcr) and also by the extra-corporeal clearance when patients were subjected to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The PK/PD analysis confirmed that 280- and 420-mg/d dosages would not be enough to achieve high probabilities of target attainment for MIC values ≥ 1 mg/L in patients with Clcr ≥ 60 mL/min or in subjects with lower Clcrs but receiving CRRT. In these patients, higher dosages (560-840 mg/d) should be needed. When treating infections due to MIC values ≥ 4 mg/L, even the highest dose would be insufficient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regadenoson is a novel pharmacological stress agent whose disposition during hemodialysis is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine the clearance of regadenoson under varying dialytic conditions using an in vitro hemodialysis model. METHODS AND RESULTS Whole human blood was used to analyze the effect of hemodialysis on the clearance of regadenoson. Regadenoson transmembrane clearance (CLD) was assessed for both a standard permeability and a high permeability polysulfone hemodialyzer with blood/dialysate flow rates of 300/600 and 400/800 mL/min. A two-tailed, paired Student's t test was used to compare regadenoson CLD between hemodialyzer types and flow rates. The mean ± SD regadenoson CLD values ranged between 62.5 ± 11.8 and 89.1 ± 24.0 mL/min for all dialytic conditions. There was no significant difference in regadenoson CLD between hemodialyzer types and flow rates (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Hemodialysis enhances the clearance of regadenoson independent of hemodialyzer permeability and blood/dialysate flow rate. This clearance is modest relative to total body clearance and is unlikely to produce a clinically significant outcome.

Abstract
Infections, including sepsis, are associated with high mortality rates in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Appropriate antibiotic selection and adequate dosing are important for improving patient outcomes. Daptomycin is bactericidal in bloodstream infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive pathogens cultured in ICU patients. The drug has concentration-dependent activity, and the area under the curve/minimum inhibitory concentration ratio is the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) index that best correlates with daptomycin activity, whereas toxicity correlates well with daptomycin plasma trough concentrations (or minimum concentration [C min]). Adequate daptomycin exposure can be difficult to achieve in ICU patients; multiple PK alterations can result in highly variable plasma concentrations, which are difficult to predict. For this reason, therapeutic drug monitoring could help clinicians optimize daptomycin dosing, thus improving efficacy while decreasing the likelihood of serious adverse events. This paper reviews the literature on daptomycin in ICU patients with sepsis, focusing on dosing and PK and PD parameters.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be a predominant pathogen resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Optimal dosing of anti-MRSA agents is needed to help prevent the development of antimicrobial resistance and to increase the likelihood of a favorable clinical outcome. Areas covered: This review summarizes the available data for antimicrobials routinely used for MRSA infections that are not administered orally or topically. We make recommendations and highlight the current gaps in the literature. A PubMed (1966 - Present) search was performed to identify relevant literature for this review. Expert commentary: Improvements in MIC determination and therapeutic drug monitoring are needed to fully implement individualized dosing that optimizes antimicrobial pharmacodynamics.Additional data will become available for these agents in regards to effectiveness for severe MRSA infections and pharmacokinetic data for special patient populations.

Abstract
Aim The objective of this population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was to provide guidance for the dosing interval of daptomycin in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods A previously published population PK model for daptomycin was updated with data from patients undergoing continuous veno‐venous haemodialysis (CVVHD; n = 9) and continuous veno‐venous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF; n = 8). Model‐based simulations were performed to compare the 24 h AUC, Cmax and Cmin of daptomycin following various dosing regimens (4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 mg kg−1 every [Q] 24 h and Q48 h), with the safety and efficacy exposure references for Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia/right‐sided infective endocarditis. Results The previously developed daptomycin structural population PK model could reasonably describe data from the patients on CRRT. The clearance in patients undergoing CVVHDF and CVVHD was estimated at 0.53 and 0.94 l h−1, respectively, as compared with 0.75 l h−1 in patients with creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 ml min−1. Daptomycin Q24 h dosing in patients undergoing CRRT resulted in optimal exposure for efficacy, with AUC comparable to that in patients with CrCl ≥ 30 ml min−1. In contrast, Q48 h dosing was associated with considerably lower AUC24–48h in all patients for doses up to 12 mg kg−1 and is therefore inappropriate. Conclusions Q24 h dosing of daptomycin up to 12 mg kg−1 provides comparable drug exposure in patients on CVVHD and in those with CrCl ≥ 30 ml min−1. Daily daptomycin use up to 8 mg kg−1 doses are appropriate for patients on CVVHDF, but higher doses may increase the risk of toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Daptomycin dose is adjusted to body weight and renal function and is usually not guided by therapeutic drug monitoring. Daptomycin plasma concentration measurement was established at our institution in January 2009 and is now increasingly being used. The aim of this study was to describe and characterize variability in daptomycin exposure during routine clinical therapy. METHODS We collected daptomycin plasma concentrations that were measured at our institution during the period January 2009-July 2012. Additional clinical and demographic data and their association with daptomycin exposure were tested by a multilevel linear regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 332 daptomycin plasma concentrations were determined in 86 patients. Sixty-six percent (n = 218) of all determinations were trough concentrations (Cmin), and 34% (n = 114) were peak concentrations (Cmax). Cmin ranged 2-68 mg/L (median, 16.7 mg/L), and Cmax 20-236 mg/L (median, 66.2 mg/L). A significant positive association of total dose, albumin, creatinine and a significant negative association of dose interval and intermittent hemodialysis with Cmin were found in the regression analysis. Total dose and intensive care unit (ICU) stay were significantly associated with Cmax (P < 0.05). However, only 28% (P < 0.005) of Cmin variability and 8% (P = 0.08) of Cmax variability were explained by the factors included in the analysis. CONCLUSIONS Daptomycin plasma concentrations are often unpredictable as shown by highly variable drug exposure that is only partially explained by dose administered and underlying renal function.

Abstract
Initial adequate anti-infective therapy is associated with significantly improved clinical outcomes for patients with severe infections. However, in critically ill patients, several pathophysiological and/or iatrogenic factors may affect the pharmacokinetics of anti-infective agents leading to suboptimal drug exposure, in particular during the early phase of therapy. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may assist to overcome this problem. We discuss the available evidence on the use of TDM in critically ill patient populations for a number of anti-infective agents, including aminoglycosides, β-lactams, glycopeptides, antifungals and antivirals. Also, we present the available evidence on the practices of anti-infective TDM and describe the potential utility of TDM to improve treatment outcome in critically ill patients with severe infections. For aminoglycosides, glycopeptides and voriconazole, beneficial effects of TDM have been established on both drug effectiveness and potential side effects. However, for other drugs, therapeutic ranges need to be further defined to optimize treatment prescription in this setting.

Abstract
For patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and continuous renal replacement therapy, it is essential that the dosing of antibiotics is adequately adjusted in order to achieve an effective drug level above the minimum inhibition concentration but avoiding toxic side effects. In the selection of substances, preference should be given to antibiotics with a broad therapeutic spectrum, low incidence of side effects and, as far as possible, extrarenal elimination. Determination of serum levels should always be carried out, when this is possible. In any case, a sufficiently high loading dose should be included. An accurate as possible estimation of residual renal function and calculation of the mechanical clearance allows determination of the necessary maintenance dosage, which is acceptably accurate for clinical needs. Recent studies have shown that under modern continuous renal replacement therapy, the extent of elimination of antibiotics is regularly underestimated so that nowadays, the risk of antibiotic underdosing is higher than toxicity due to overdosing.

Abstract
Critical illness, acute renal failure and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are associated with changes in pharmacokinetics. Initial antibiotic dose should be based on published volume of distribution and generally be at least the standard dose, as volume of distribution is usually unchanged or increased. Subsequent doses should be based on total clearance. Total clearance varies with the CRRT clearance which mainly depends on effluent flow rate, sieving coefficient/saturation coefficient. As antibiotic clearance by healthy kidneys is usually higher than clearance by CRRT, except for colistin, subsequent doses should generally be lower than given to patients without renal dysfunction. In the future therapeutic drug monitoring, together with sophisticated pharmacokinetic models taking into account the pharmacokinetic variability, may enable more appropriate individualized dosing.

Abstract
The emergence of daptomycin non-susceptible enterococci (DNSE) poses both treatment and infection control challenges. Clinicians should be vigilant that DNSE may be isolated from patients with or without (de novo DNSE) prior use of daptomycin. Recent epidemiological data suggest the presence of a community reservoir for DNSE which may be associated with environmental, foodborne and agricultural exposures. The mechanisms of nonsusceptibility to daptomycin have not been well characterized and may not parallel those for Staphylococcus aureus. The identification of daptomycin resistance genes in anaerobes, in farm animals and in an ecosystem that has been isolated for million years, suggest that the environmental reservoir for de novo DNSE may be larger than previously thought. Herein, the limited available scientific evidence regarding the possible origin of de novo DNSE is discussed. The current existing evidence is not sufficient to draw firm conclusions on the origin of DNSE. Further studies to determine the mechanisms of de novo daptomycin nonsusceptibility among enterococci are needed.

Abstract
There is an increasing prevalence of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by multiresistant gram-negative enteric bacilli such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase as well as Gram-positive enterococci whose vancomycin-resistance can be as high as 25%. We report on a 68-year-old Caucasian female with a UTI caused by a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, only tested to be susceptible to gentamycin, linezolid and daptomycin. Within a day after administration of the bactericidal daptomycin clinical and laboratory signs of infection regressed and graft function recovered. Our case suggests that daptomycin might be an effective alternative for UTI caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

How can we ensure effective antibiotic dosing in critically ill patients receiving different types of renal replacement therapy? Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 2015; 82:92-103.

Abstract
Determining appropriate antibiotic dosing for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is complex. Worldwide unstandardized and heterogeneous prescribing of RRT as well as altered patient physiology and pathogen susceptibility all cause drug disposition to be much different to that seen in non-critically ill patients. Significant changes to pharmacokinetic parameters, including volume of distribution and clearance, could be expected, in particular, for antibiotics that are hydrophilic with low plasma protein binding and that are usually primarily eliminated by the renal system. Antibiotic clearance is likely to be significantly increased when higher RRT intensities are used. The combined effect of these factors that alter antibiotic disposition is that non-standard dosing strategies should be considered to achieve therapeutic exposure. In particular, an aggressive early approach to dosing should be considered and this may include administration of a 'loading dose', to rapidly achieve therapeutic concentrations and maximally reduce the inoculum of the pathogen. This approach is particularly important given the pharmacokinetic changes in the critically ill as well as the increased likelihood of less susceptible pathogens. Dose individualization that applies knowledge of the RRT and patient factors causing altered pharmacokinetics remains the key approach for ensuring effective antibiotic therapy for these patients. Where possible, therapeutic drug monitoring should also be used to ensure more accurate therapy. A lack of pharmacokinetic data for antibiotics during the prolonged intermittent RRT and intermittent hemodialysis currently limits evidence-based antibiotic dose recommendations for these patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Severe sepsis often leads to multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS) with acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI affects approximately, 35% of Intensive Care Unit patients, and most of these are due to sepsis. Mortality rate of sepsis-induced AKI is high. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials may be responsible for higher therapeutic failure, mortality rates, costs and toxicity as well as the emergence of resistance. Antimicrobial treatment is particularly difficult due to altered pharmacokinetic profile, dynamic changes in patient's clinical status and, in many cases, need for renal replacement therapy. This article aims to describe the appropriate antimicrobial dosing and reviews the factors contributing to the difficulties in establishing precise guidelines for antimicrobial dosing in sepsis-induced AKI patients. SEARCH STRATEGY Text material was collected by systematic search in PubMed, Google (1978-2013) for original articles.

Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2015; 41:437-43.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the potential of ceftobiprole, dalbavancin, daptomycin, tigecycline, linezolid and vancomycin to achieve their requisite pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) targets against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates collected from intensive care unit (ICU) settings. Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to simulate the PK/PD indices of the investigated antimicrobials. The probability of target attainment (PTA) was estimated at minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 0.03 to 32 μg/mL to define the PK/PD susceptibility breakpoints. The cumulative fraction of response (CFR) was computed using minimum inhibitory concentration data from the Canadian National Intensive Care Unit study. Analysis of the simulation results suggested the breakpoints of 4 μg/mL for ceftobiprole (500 mg/2 h t.i.d.), 0.25 μg/mL for dalbavancin (1000 mg), 0.12 μg/mL for daptomycin (4 mg/kg q.d. and 6 mg/kg q.d.) and tigecycline (50 mg b.i.d.), and 2 μg/mL for linezolid (600 mg b.i.d.) and vancomycin (1 g b.i.d. and 1.5 g b.i.d.). The estimated CFR were 100, 100, 70.6, 88.8, 96.5, 82.4, 89.4, and 98.3% for ceftobiprole, dalbavancin, daptomycin (4 mg/kg/day), daptomycin (6 mg/kg/day), linezolid, tigecycline, vancomycin (1 g b.i.d.) and vancomycin (1.5 g b.i.d.), respectively. In conclusion, ceftobiprole and dalbavancin have the highest probability of achieving their requisite PK/PD targets against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from ICU settings. The susceptibility predictions suggested a reduction of the vancomycin breakpoint to 1 μg/mL.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that antibiotic dosing in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) often does not achieve pharmacodynamic goals, and the continued high mortality rate due to infectious causes appears to confirm these findings. Although there are compelling reasons why clinicians should use more aggressive antibiotic dosing, particularly in patients receiving aggressive renal replacement therapies, concerns for toxicity associated with higher doses are real. The presence of multisystem organ failure and polypharmacy predispose these patients to drug toxicity. This article examines the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences of critical illness, AKI, and renal replacement therapy and describes potential solutions to help clinicians give "enough but not too much" in these very complicated patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the optimal dosing regimen of daptomycin in patients receiving thrice-weekly hemodialysis. DATA SOURCES Literature was accessed via PubMed using the terms daptomycin and hemodialysis through July 2013. Reference citations from publications identified were reviewed. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION English language articles meeting the search criteria were evaluated. Studies were included if they addressed either thrice-weekly or intradialytic daptomycin administration. DATA SYNTHESIS Daptomycin is approved for the treatment of bloodstream infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive organisms. Rapid bactericidal activity and limited potential for drug interactions make daptomycin an attractive agent. However, the daptomycin prescribing information recommends dosing every 48 hours in patients receiving hemodialysis, which results in dyssynchrony of dosing and dialysis sessions every other week. Studies evaluating a dosing regimen of daptomycin thrice weekly, coinciding with dialysis, indicate that pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters are appropriate for therapeutic success. However, to maintain adequate serum drug concentrations throughout the 72-hour interdialytic period, an additional 50% of the dose should be provided to account for the longer interval. Intradialytic dosing, with the administration of daptomycin infusion beginning during the final 30 minutes of dialysis, may also require a dose increase. Limited clinical outcomes data have been reported, but no significant safety concerns have been identified. CONCLUSIONS Administration of daptomycin doses thrice weekly on hemodialysis days appears to be both safe and reasonable. Doses should be increased preceding the 72-hour interdialytic period or if daptomycin is infused during dialysis.

Abstract
Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antimicrobial with in vitro bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria that was first approved for clinical use in 2004 in the United States. Since this time, significant data have emerged regarding the use of daptomycin for the treatment of serious infections, such as bacteremia and endocarditis, caused by Gram-positive pathogens. However, there are also increasing reports of daptomycin nonsusceptibility, in Staphylococcus aureus and, in particular, Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis. Such nonsusceptibility is largely in the context of prolonged treatment courses and infections with high bacterial burdens, but it may occur in the absence of prior daptomycin exposure. Nonsusceptibility in both S. aureus and Enterococcus is mediated by adaptations to cell wall homeostasis and membrane phospholipid metabolism. This review summarizes the data on daptomycin, including daptomycin's unique mode of action and spectrum of activity and mechanisms for nonsusceptibility in key pathogens, including S. aureus, E. faecium, and E. faecalis. The challenges faced by the clinical laboratory in obtaining accurate susceptibility results and reporting daptomycin MICs are also discussed.

Abstract
This study characterizes the pharmacokinetics of ertapenem, a carbapenem antibiotic, in critically ill adult subjects receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Eight critically ill patients with suspected/known Gram-negative infections receiving continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) or continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) and ertapenem were enrolled. One gram of ertapenem was infused over 30 min. Predialyzer blood samples were drawn with the first dose of ertapenem from the hemodialysis tubing at time zero, 30 min, and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 h after the start of the ertapenem infusion. Effluent was collected at the same time points. Ertapenem total serum, unbound serum, and effluent concentrations from all eight subjects were used simultaneously to perform a population compartmental pharmacokinetic modeling procedure using NONMEM. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate the ability of several ertapenem dosing regimens (500 mg once daily, 750 mg once daily, 500 mg twice daily, and 1,000 mg once daily) to obtain effective unbound serum concentrations above 0.5, 1, and 2 μg/ml. For our simulated patients, all regimens produced unbound ertapenem concentrations above 2 μg/ml for 40% of the dosing interval for at least 96% of simulated patients. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT00877370.).

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine whether using pharmacodynamic-based dosing of antimicrobials, such as extended/continuous infusions, in critically ill patients is associated with improved outcomes as compared with traditional dosing methods. Methods We searched Medline, HealthStar, EMBASE, Cochrane Clinical Trial Registry, and CINAHL from inception to September 2013 without language restrictions for studies comparing the use of extended/continuous infusions with traditional dosing. Two authors independently selected studies, extracted data on methodology and outcomes, and performed quality assessment. Meta-analyses were performed by using random-effects models. Results Of 1,319 citations, 13 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (n = 782 patients) and 13 cohort studies (n = 2,117 patients) met the inclusion criteria. Compared with traditional non-pharmacodynamic-based dosing, RCTs of continuous/extended infusions significantly reduced clinical failure rates (relative risk (RR) 0.68; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49 to 0.94, P = 0.02) and intensive care unit length of stay (mean difference, −1.5; 95% CI, −2.8 to −0.2 days, P = 0.02), but not mortality (RR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.64 to 1.19; P = 0.38). No significant between-trial heterogeneity was found for these analyses (I2 = 0). Reduced mortality rates almost achieved statistical significance when the results of all included studies (RCTs and cohort studies) were pooled (RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.69 to 1.00; P = 0.054). Conclusions Pooled results from small RCTs suggest reduced clinical failure rates and intensive care unit length-of-stay when using continuous/extended infusions of antibiotics in critically ill patients. Reduced mortality rates almost achieved statistical significance when the results of RCTs were combined with cohort studies. These results support the conduct of adequately powered RCTs to define better the utility of continuous/extended infusions in the era of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal daptomycin dosing regimen for critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has still to be established. METHODS Daptomycin pharmacokinetics was determined in 9 patients after administration of 6 mg/kg/day over 5 days. RESULTS At steady state, which was reached by day 3, the area under the curve over 24 h (AUC24h) was 667.4 ± 356.6 mg·h/l, and the maximum concentration (Cmax) was 66.9 ±25.3 mg/l. Mean CRRT clearance accounted for 48% (range 32-67%) of total clearance (mean 10.2 ml/min, range 6.1-18 ml/min). Significant correlations were observed between Cmax, minimum concentration (Cmin) and AUC24h (R(2) = 0.91, p < 0.001, and R(2) = 0.94, p < 0.001) and between albumin plasma concentration and free daptomycin (R(2) = 0.7, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION No significant accumulation occurred with a daily daptomycin dose of 6 mg/kg in patients undergoing CRRT with an effluent flow rate of >30 ml/kg/h. The quantification of trough concentrations (Cmin) appears to be a good surrogate to estimate AUC24h and to monitor daptomycin treatment in patients undergoing CRRT.
