Abstract
Personalised drug dosing through therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is important to maximise efficacy and to minimise toxicity. Hurdles preventing broad implementation of TDM in routine care include the need of sophisticated equipment and highly trained staff, high costs and lack of timely results. Salivary TDM is a non-invasive, patient-friendly alternative to blood sampling, which has the potential to overcome barriers with traditional TDM. A mobile UV spectrophotometer may provide a simple solution for analysing drug concentrations in saliva samples. Salivary TDM utilising point-of-care tests can support personalised dosing in various settings including low-resource as well as remote settings. In this opinion paper, we describe how hurdles of implementing traditional TDM may be mitigated by salivary TDM with new strategies for patient-friendly point-of-care testing.

Abstract
With the rapid development of clinical pharmacy in China, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has become an essential tool for guiding rational clinical drug use and is widely concerned. TDM is a tool that combines pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic knowledge to optimize personalized drug therapy, which can improve treatment outcomes, reduce drug-drug toxicity, and avoid the risk of developing drug resistance. To effectively implement TDM, accurate and sophisticated analytical methods are required. By researching the literature published in recent years, we summarize the types of commonly monitored drugs, therapeutic windows, and clinical assays and track the trends and hot spots of therapeutic drug monitoring. The purpose is to provide guidelines for clinical blood drug concentration monitoring, to implement individualized drug delivery programs better, to ensure the rational use of drugs for patients, and to provide a reference for the group to carry out related topics in the future.

Int J Antimicrob Agents 2023; 62:106914. [PMID: 37419292 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2023.106914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a first-line antituberculosis drug with potent sterilising activity. Variability in drug exposure may translate into suboptimal treatment responses. This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, aimed to evaluate the concentration-effect relationship. In vitro/in vivo studies had to contain information on the infection model, PZA dose and concentration, and microbiological outcome. Human studies had to present information on PZA dose, measures of drug exposure and maximum concentration, and microbiological response parameter or overall treatment outcome. A total of 34 studies were assessed, including in vitro (n = 2), in vivo (n = 3) and clinical studies (n = 29). Intracellular and extracellular models demonstrated a direct correlation between PZA dose of 15-50 mg/kg/day and reduction in bacterial count between 0.50-27.7 log10 CFU/mL. Consistent with this, higher PZA doses (>150 mg/kg) were associated with a greater reduction in bacterial burden in BALB/c mice models. Human pharmacokinetic studies displayed a linear positive correlation between PZA dose (i.e. 21.4-35.7 mg/kg/day) and drug exposure (AUC range 220.6-514.5 mg·h/L). Additionally, human studies confirmed a dose-effect relationship, with an increased 2-month sputum culture conversion rate at AUC/MIC targets of 8.4-11.3 with higher exposure/susceptibility ratios leading to greater efficacy. A 5-fold variability in AUC was observed at PZA dose of 25 mg/kg. A direct concentration-effect relationship and increased treatment efficacy with higher PZA exposure to susceptibility ratios was observed. Taking into account variability in drug exposure and treatment response, further studies on dose optimisation are justified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pharmacokinetic variability drives tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes but measurement of serum drug concentrations for personalised dosing is inaccessible for children in TB-endemic settings. We compared rifampin urine excretion for prediction of a serum target associated with treatment outcome. DESIGN Prospective diagnostic accuracy study. SETTING Inpatient wards and outpatient clinics, northern Tanzania. PATIENTS Children aged 4-17 years were consecutively recruited on initiation of WHO-approved treatment regimens. INTERVENTIONS Samples were collected after directly observed therapy at least 2 weeks after initiation in the intensive phase: serum at pre-dose and 1, 2 and 6 hours post-dose, later analysed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for calculation of rifampin total exposure or area under the concentration time curve (AUC0-24); urine at post-dose intervals of 0-4, 4-8 and 8-24 hours, with rifampin excretion amount measured onsite by spectrophotometry. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for percentage of rifampin dose excreted in urine measured by spectrophotometry to predict serum rifampin AUC0-24 target of 31.7 mg*hour/L. RESULTS 89 children, 52 (58%) female, with median age of 9.1 years, had both serum and urine collection. Only 59 (66%) reached the serum AUC0-24 target, reflected by a range of urine excretion patterns. Area under the ROC curve for percentage of rifampin dose excreted in urine over 24 hours predicting serum AUC0-24 target was 69.3% (95% CI 56.7% to 81.8%), p=0.007. CONCLUSIONS Urine spectrophotometry correlated with a clinically relevant serum target for rifampin, representing a step toward personalised dosing for children in TB-endemic settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Therapeutic drug monitoring aims to quantify the concentration of a drug in a biological matrix. In oncology, the therapeutic arsenal is vast and therapeutic drug monitoring optimizes treatment and reduces costs. This review will analyze the financial impact of therapeutic monitoring of anticancer drugs in healthcare institutions. METHODS Keywords were selected using Decs (MeSH). Through the Pubmed, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases, 74 articles were found, of which 4 meet the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed according to the Research Triangle Institute Item Bank (RTI-Item Bank) scale. KEY FINDINGS Therapeutic drug monitoring is an important tool for dose reduction or dose increase due to toxicity and lack of response, respectively. The main barriers are associated costs and lack of cost-benefit data. An alternative is to use population pharmacokinetic models, measured plasma concentration(s) and relevant patient characteristics, estimated individual pharmacokinetic parameters, and predicted drug concentrations at any point in the dosing range. CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic drug monitoring is understood as a technology that adds costs to payers. Future studies should generate clinical evidence of population pharmacokinetics from therapeutic drug monitoring studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Quantifying exposure to drugs for personalized dose adjustment is of critical importance in patients with tuberculosis who may be at risk of treatment failure or toxicity due to individual variability in pharmacokinetics. Traditionally, serum or plasma samples have been used for drug monitoring, which only poses collection and logistical challenges in high-tuberculosis burden/low-resourced areas. Less invasive and lower cost tests using alternative biomatrices other than serum or plasma may improve the feasibility of therapeutic drug monitoring. METHODS A systematic review was conducted to include studies reporting anti-tuberculosis drug concentration measurements in dried blood spots, urine, saliva, and hair. Reports were screened to include study design, population, analytical methods, relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, and risk of bias. RESULTS A total of 75 reports encompassing all four biomatrices were included. Dried blood spots reduced the sample volume requirement and cut shipping costs whereas simpler laboratory methods to test the presence of drug in urine can allow point-of-care testing in high-burden settings. Minimal pre-processing requirements with saliva samples may further increase acceptability for laboratory staff. Multi-analyte panels have been tested in hair with the capacity to test a wide range of drugs and some of their metabolites. CONCLUSIONS Reported data were mostly from small-scale studies and alternative biomatrices need to be qualified in large and diverse populations for the demonstration of feasibility in operational settings. High-quality interventional studies will improve the uptake of alternative biomatrices in guidelines and accelerate implementation in programmatic tuberculosis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suboptimal exposure to antituberculosis (anti-TB) drugs has been associated with unfavourable treatment outcomes. We aimed to investigate estimates and determinants of first-line anti-TB drug pharmacokinetics in children and adolescents at a global level. METHODS We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science (1990-2021) for pharmacokinetic studies of first-line anti-TB drugs in children and adolescents. Individual patient data were obtained from authors of eligible studies. Summary estimates of total/extrapolated area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h post-dose (AUC0-24) and peak plasma concentration (C max) were assessed with random-effects models, normalised with current World Health Organization-recommended paediatric doses. Determinants of AUC0-24 and C max were assessed with linear mixed-effects models. RESULTS Of 55 eligible studies, individual patient data were available for 39 (71%), including 1628 participants from 12 countries. Geometric means of steady-state AUC0-24 were summarised for isoniazid (18.7 (95% CI 15.5-22.6) h·mg·L-1), rifampicin (34.4 (95% CI 29.4-40.3) h·mg·L-1), pyrazinamide (375.0 (95% CI 339.9-413.7) h·mg·L-1) and ethambutol (8.0 (95% CI 6.4-10.0) h·mg·L-1). Our multivariate models indicated that younger age (especially <2 years) and HIV-positive status were associated with lower AUC0-24 for all first-line anti-TB drugs, while severe malnutrition was associated with lower AUC0-24 for isoniazid and pyrazinamide. N-acetyltransferase 2 rapid acetylators had lower isoniazid AUC0-24 and slow acetylators had higher isoniazid AUC0-24 than intermediate acetylators. Determinants of C max were generally similar to those for AUC0-24. CONCLUSIONS This study provides the most comprehensive estimates of plasma exposures to first-line anti-TB drugs in children and adolescents. Key determinants of drug exposures were identified. These may be relevant for population-specific dose adjustment or individualised therapeutic drug monitoring.

[PMID: 35650702 PMCID: PMC9165737 DOI: 10.5588/ijtld.22.0188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Optimal drug dosing is important to ensure adequate response to treatment, prevent development of drug resistance and reduce drug toxicity. The aim of these clinical standards is to provide guidance on 'best practice´ for dosing and management of TB drugs.METHODS: A panel of 57 global experts in the fields of microbiology, pharmacology and TB care were identified; 51 participated in a Delphi process. A 5-point Likert scale was used to score draft standards. The final document represents the broad consensus and was approved by all participants.RESULTS: Six clinical standards were defined: Standard 1, defining the most appropriate initial dose for TB treatment; Standard 2, identifying patients who may be at risk of sub-optimal drug exposure; Standard 3, identifying patients at risk of developing drug-related toxicity and how best to manage this risk; Standard 4, identifying patients who can benefit from therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM); Standard 5, highlighting education and counselling that should be provided to people initiating TB treatment; and Standard 6, providing essential education for healthcare professionals. In addition, consensus research priorities were identified.CONCLUSION: This is the first consensus-based Clinical Standards for the dosing and management of TB drugs to guide clinicians and programme managers in planning and implementation of locally appropriate measures for optimal person-centred treatment to improve patient care.
