Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic target attainment analysis of cefazolin using total and unbound serum concentration in patients with prostatectomy or nephrectomy. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2024; 68:e0026724. [PMID: 38771029 PMCID: PMC11232410 DOI: 10.1128/aac.00267-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the population pharmacokinetics of total and unbound concentrations of prophylactic cefazolin (CFZ) in patients with prostatectomy or nephrectomy. We also aimed to calculate a pharmacodynamics target unbound concentration that exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), to design an effective dosing regimen. Briefly, 614 total concentration and 610 unbound concentration samples from 152 individuals were evaluated, using a nonlinear mixed-effects model. The obtained pharmacodynamics index target value reflected the probability of maintaining CFZ unbound trough concentrations exceeding MIC90, 0.5 mg/L, and MIC50, and 1.0 mg/L, to account for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) or Escherichia coli. Population pharmacokinetics were estimated using a two-compartment model with nonlinear protein binding. Unbound systemic clearance (CL) was significantly associated with creatinine clearance, while the maximum protein-binding constant was significantly associated with albumin levels. The probability of achieving an unbound concentration exceeding the MIC50 for E. coli or MIC90 for MSSA in a patient with normal renal function following a 1 g CFZ infusion over 15 min was above 90% at 3 h after the initial dose. Our findings indicated that population pharmacokinetic parameters are useful for determining unbound CFZ pharmacokinetics and evaluating intraoperative CFZ redosing intervals.

Population pharmacokinetics of prophylactic cefoxitin in elective bariatric surgery patients: a prospective monocentric study. Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med 2024; 43:101376. [PMID: 38494157 DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2024.101376] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study describes the population pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin in obese patients undergoing elective bariatric surgery and evaluates different dosing regimens for achievement of pre-defined target exposures. METHODS Serial blood samples were collected during surgery with relevant clinical data. Total serum cefoxitin concentrations were measured by chromatographic assay and analysed using a population PK approach with Pmetrics®. The cefoxitin unbound fraction (fu) was estimated. Dosing simulations were performed to ascertain the probability of target attainment (PTA) to achieve cefoxitin fu above minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) from surgical incision to wound closure. Fractional target attainment (FTA) was calculated against MIC distributions of common pathogens. RESULTS A total of 123 obese patients (median BMI 44.3 kg/m2) were included with 381 cefoxitin concentration values. Cefoxitin was best described by a one-compartment model, with a mean clearance and volume of distribution of 10.9 ± 6.1 L/h and 23.4 ± 10.5 L, respectively. In surgery <2 h, a 2 and a 4 g doses were sufficient for an MIC up to 4 and 8 mg/L (fu 50%), respectively. In prolonged surgery (2-4 h), only continuous infusion enabled optimal PTA for an MIC up to 16 mg/L. Optimal FTAs were obtained against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia Coli only when simulating with 50% cefoxitin protein binding (intermittent regimen) and regardless of the protein binding for the continuous infusion. CONCLUSION Intermittent dosing regimens resulted in optimal FTAs against susceptible MIC distributions of S. aureus and E. coli when simulating with 50% cefoxitin protein binding. Continuous infusion of cefoxitin may improve FTA regardless of protein binding. STUDY REGISTRATION Registration on ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03306290.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has increased considerably in the last few decades. Pathophysiological changes in obese patients lead to pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) alterations that can condition the correct exposure to antimicrobials if standard dosages are used. Inadequate dosing in obese patients can lead to toxicity or therapeutic failure. In recent years, additional antimicrobial PK/PD data, extended infusion strategies, and studies in critically ill patients have made it possible to obtain data to provide a better dosage in obese patients. Despite this, it is usually difficult to find information on drug dosing in this population, which is sometimes contradictory. This is a comprehensive review of the dosing of different types of antimicrobials (antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and antituberculosis drugs) in obese patients, where the literature on PK and possible dosing strategies in obese adults was critically assessed.

Abstract
Appropriate surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) is an important measure in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs). Although antimicrobial pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PKPD) is integral to optimizing antibiotic dosing for the treatment of infections, there is less research on preventing infections postsurgery. Whereas clinical studies of SAP dose, preincision timing, and redosing are informative, it is difficult to isolate their effect on SSI outcomes. Antimicrobial PKPD aims to explain the complex relationship between antibiotic exposure during surgery and the subsequent development of SSI. It accounts for the many factors that influence the PKs and antibiotic concentrations in patients and considers the susceptibilities of bacteria most likely to contaminate the surgical site. This narrative review examines the relevance and role of PKPD in providing effective SAP. The dose-response relationship i.e., association between lower dose and SSI in cefazolin prophylaxis is discussed. A comprehensive review of the evidence for an antibiotic concentration-response (SSI) relationship in SAP is also presented. Finally, PKPD considerations for improving SAP are explored with a focus on cefazolin prophylaxis in adults and outstanding questions regarding its dose, preincision timing, and redosing during surgery.

Abstract
Obesity remains a US national health crisis and a growing concern worldwide. Concerningly, individuals who are obese are at an increased risk for comorbid diseases that include, but are not limited to, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Beyond the risk for developing these conditions, obesity may also impact the pharmacological activity of the therapies being used to treat them and other disease states. The pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and efficacy of therapies, both currently marketed and under clinical development, may be directly impacted by the physiological alterations that occur secondary to the occurrence of chronic excess body weight. The increased prevalence of this disease should not be ignored. Both private and federal institutions involved in drug research and development should consider, as appropriate, a greater inclusion of individuals who are obese in clinical trials throughout the entirety of drug development, and leverage the available PK, PD, safety, and efficacy data to make more informed dosing recommendations.

Abstract
Drug dosing in obese patients continues to be challenging due to a lack of high-quality evidence to guide dosing recommendations. We first published guidance for antibiotic dosing in obese adults in 2017, in which we critically reviewed articles identified from a broad search strategy to develop dosing recommendations for 35 antimicrobials. In this updated narrative review, we searched Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library using Medical Subject Headings including anti-infectives, specific generic antimicrobial names, obese, pharmacokinetics, and others. We reviewed 393 articles, cross-referenced select cited references, and when applicable, referenced drug databases, package inserts, and clinical trial data to update dosing recommendations for 41 antimicrobials. Most included articles were pharmacokinetic studies, other less frequently included articles were clinical studies (mostly small, retrospective), case reports, and very rarely, guidelines. Pharmacokinetic changes are frequently reported, can be variable, and sometimes conflicting in this population, and do not always translate to a documented difference in clinical outcomes, yet are used to inform dosing strategies. Extended infusions, high doses, and therapeutic drug monitoring remain important strategies to optimize dosing in this population. Additional studies are needed to clinically validate proposed dosing strategies, clarify optimal body size descriptors, dosing weight scalars, and estimation method of renal function in obese patients.
