Open Access Maced J Med Sci 2018; 6:2017-2022. [PMID: 30559853 PMCID: PMC6290446 DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2018.445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2018] [Revised: 10/16/2018] [Accepted: 10/18/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bacterial infections are involved in more than a half of the exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of moxifloxacin in the outpatient treatment of moderate exacerbations of bacterial origin in the COPD patients. METHODS: We performed a prospective, observational study including 64 COPD patients with moderate exacerbation of bacterial origin empirically treated with moxifloxacin. In 31 of them, moxifloxacin was used as an initial antibiotic (Group 1), whereas in 33 of them moxifloxacin was used after treatment failure with another antibiotic (Group 2). All patients have treated 7 days with moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily per os, and they were followed up for 20 days, with an intermediate visit at 3, 5 and 7 days at which the duration of symptoms and the side effects of the drug were evaluated. RESULTS: We registered high clinical success rate, i.e. the complete resolution of the symptoms or their return to the baseline severity, similar in both groups (84.3% in all study subjects, 83.9% in the Group 1 and 84.8% in the Group 2). The mean time to complete resolution of the cardinal symptoms or their return to the baseline severity was 5.2 ± 1.1 days. Also, the mean time to complete resolution of the certain cardinal symptoms (increased dyspnea, increased sputum volume and increased sputum purulence) or their return to the baseline severity is given 4.9, 4.7 and 4.2 days, respectively. The incidence of adverse effects during the treatment with moxifloxacin in all study subjects was 10.9%, 9.6% in Group 1 and 12.1% in Group 2. There was no serious adverse effect that required discontinuation of the treatment. Relapse during a 20 days follow-up period was registered in 7.4% of the all study subjects with complete resolution of the cardinal symptoms or their return to the baseline severity, i.e. in two patients from both Group 1 and Group 2 (7.6% and 7.1%, respectively). 4 CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest high efficacy and good tolerability of moxifloxacin in the treatment of moderate COPD exacerbations of bacterial origin.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a set of clinical processes that have in common a chronic and progressive obstruction to airflow, with episodes of exacerbation. These exacerbations are more frequent and severe over time, deteriorating the lung function. The main cause of exacerbations is bacterial infection. There are multiple guidelines and documents that statement the management of this pathology. However, they focus primarily on the treatment during the stable phase. This document addresses the problem of acute exacerbation due to an infection from a multidisciplinary perspective, focusing on the integral approach to the process, and including etiology, microbiological studies, resistance to antimicrobials, risk stratification and initial empirical therapeutic management (antibiotic and concomitant). In addition, it includes an approach to more complex aspects such as the management of special populations (elderly and immunosuppressed) or therapeutic failure. Finally, more controversial topics such as prophylaxis of infection or palliative treatment are specifically discussed.

Abstract
Background Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is the most common reason for the hospitalization and death of pulmonary patients. The use of antibiotics as adjuvant therapy for AECOPD, however, is still a matter of debate. Methods In this study, we searched the PubMed, EmBase, and Cochrane databases for randomized controlled trials published until September 2016 that evaluated the use of antibiotics for AECOPD treatment. The major outcome variables were clinical cure rate and adverse effects. The microbiological response rate, relapse of exacerbation, and mortality were also analysed. A random-effect network was used to assess the effectiveness and tolerance of each antibiotic used for AECOPD treatment. Results In this meta-analysis, we included 19 articles that assessed 17 types of antibiotics used in 5906 AECOPD patients. The cluster ranking showed that dirithromycin had a high clinical cure rate with a low rate of adverse effects. Ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole had high clinical cure rates with median rates of adverse effects. In terms of the microbiological response rate, only doxycycline was significantly better than placebo (odds ratio (OR), 3.84; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.96–7.54; p < 0.001). There were no other significant results with respect to the frequency of recurrence or mortality. Conclusions Our study indicated that dirithromycin is adequate for improving the clinical cure rate of patients with AECOPD with few adverse effects. Ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are also recommended for disease treatment. However, caution should still be exercised when using antibiotics to treat AECOPD.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the relative efficacy and safety of different antibiotic drugs and recommend superior regimens in the treatment of bronchitis. With respect to the antibiotic comparisons against quinolones in terms of intention-to-treat patients, we concluded that quinolones had advantages over placebo, β-lactams, sulfonamides, and double β-lactams. Concerning treatment methods for clinically evaluable patients, quinolones demonstrated better performance than β-lactams and sulfonamides. The secondary effects of macrolides, quinolones, and double β-lactams were significantly more adverse than β-lactams with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.5 (95% credible interval [CrI] =1.1–2.0), 1.7 (95% CrI =1.2–2.3), and 2.7 (95% CrI =1.8–4.1), respectively. Significant differences in the prevalence of diarrhea as a secondary effect were only identified among the comparisons of double β-lactams against β-lactams and macrolides (OR =5.0, 95% CrI =2.1–12.0; OR =3.0, 95% CrI =1.7–5.4, respectively). Quinolones can be recommended as the superior treatment for bronchitis, in accordance with our cluster analysis with surface under the cumulative ranking curve. The primary outcomes of network meta-analysis indicated that quinolones showed the best performance among the 8 treatments studied, although β-lactams showed the lowest risk of adverse side effects. Quinolones are recommended as the primary treatment option for bronchitis patients, having taking into account the success rates and safety profiles of the eight drugs studied here.

In Vivo Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Profiles of Antofloxacin against Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Neutropenic Murine Lung Infection Model. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 61:AAC.02691-16.

Abstract
Antofloxacin is a novel broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone under development for the treatment of infections caused by a diverse group of bacterial species. We explored the pharmacodynamic (PD) profile and targets of antofloxacin against seven Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates by using a neutropenic murine lung infection model. Plasma and bronchopulmonary pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were conducted at single subcutaneous doses of 2.5, 10, 40, and 160 mg/kg of body weight. Mice were infected intratracheally with K. pneumoniae and treated using 2-fold-increasing total doses of antofloxacin ranging from 2.5 to 160 mg/kg/24 h administered in 1, 2, 3, or 4 doses. The Emax Hill equation was used to model the dose-response data. Antofloxacin could penetrate the lung epithelial lining fluid (ELF) with pharmacokinetics similar to those in plasma with linear elimination half-lives over the dose range. All study strains showed a 3-log10 or greater reduction in bacterial burden and prolonged postantibiotic effects (PAEs) ranging from 3.2 to 5.3 h. Dose fractionation response curves were steep, and the free-drug area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h (AUC0-24)/MIC ratio was the PD index most closely linked to efficacy (R2 = 0.96). The mean free-drug AUC0-24/MIC ratios required to achieve net bacterial stasis, a 1-log10 kill, and a 2-log10 kill for each isolate were 52.6, 89.9, and 164.9, respectively. When integrated with human PK data, these PD targets could provide a framework for further optimization of dosing regimens. This could make antofloxacin an attractive option for the treatment of respiratory tract infections involving K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
A population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin (400 mg) following a once-daily oral administration in 28 patients with respiratory tract infection disease. The maximum plasma concentration and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve were 3.97 µg/ml and 51.74 µg·h/ml, respectively; these values were nearly equivalent to those of healthy adult men. Two adverse drug reactions (nausea, vomiting) occurred, but both reactions were mild and nonserious and the patients recovered without treatment. The pharmacokinetic profile of moxifloxacin in Japanese patients with respiratory tract infection and an underlying disease should thus be considered safe and comparable with that in healthy adult men, and adjustment of dose may do not need for age, sex, body weight, or renal function.

Abstract
A new quinolone, zabofloxacin, has now been developed; hence, a non-inferiority trial is needed to compare this new compound with another widely used quinolone to examine its efficacy and safety for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. This was a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, controlled, parallel-group, Phase III, non-inferiority clinical trial designed to compare oral zabofloxacin (367 mg once daily for 5 days) with moxifloxacin (400 mg once daily for 7 days) for the treatment of patients with COPD exacerbation. In all, 345 COPD patients with a moderate COPD exacerbation were enrolled in the study via the outpatient clinics at 31 university hospitals. Clinical per protocol analysis revealed that the clinical cure rate for zabofloxacin was 86.7% and that for moxifloxacin was 86.3% (the rate difference, 0.4%; 95% confidence interval, −7.7%–8.6%). Intention-to-treat analysis revealed clinical cure rates of 77.1% and 77.3% (difference, −0.2%; 95% confidence interval, −9.0%–8.8%), respectively. These results confirm that zabofloxacin is not inferior to moxifloxacin. The favorable microbiological response rate for zabofloxacin was 67.4% and that for moxifloxacin was 79.5% (P=0.22). Patients in the zabofloxacin group showed better patient-oriented outcomes, as measured by EXAcerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Disease Tool-Patient-Reported Outcome and the COPD assessment test scores, than patients in the moxifloxacin group. Adverse drug reactions related to zabofloxacin occurred in 9.7% of cases and those related to moxifloxacin occurred in 9.6% of cases (P=0.97). The dropout rate due to adverse events was 0% (0/175) in the zabofloxacin group and 1.8% (3/167) in the moxifloxacin group (P=0.12). Oral zabofloxacin (367 mg once daily for 5 days) was not inferior to oral moxifloxacin (400 mg once daily for 7 days) for the treatment of patients with COPD exacerbation.

Abstract
Objective Appropriate use of antibiotics in the management of hospitalised patients with COPD exacerbations is defined within the GOLD strategy. This paper analyses the factors associated with antibiotic prescribing in patients to better understand how prescribing may be improved. Methods The European COPD audit was a study of clinical care in 384 hospitals from 13 European countries between 2010 and 2011 enrolling 16018 patients. Those admitted to hospital due to a clinician-made diagnosis of exacerbation of COPD at the time of discharge were audited. We defined antibiotic prescribing compliance as consistent with the GOLD 2010 recommendations. Two different multivariate models were used to evaluate factors associated with the prescription of antibiotics and the guideline-compliant prescriptions. Results Overall 86% of admissions were given antibiotics but only 61.4% cases met the GOLD recommendations. Antibiotics were more likely to be given in hospital and at discharge if received prior to admission. Antibiotic prescription was more likely in patients who met the GOLD recommendations and in those with radiological consolidation but there was also a significant use of antibiotics in patients who did not meet either criterion. Patients cared for on a Respiratory Ward were more likely to receive GOLD compliant antibiotic management. Conclusions The present study describes the audited in-hospital antibiotic prescription for COPD exacerbation across different European countries. In general, there is an apparent overuse of antibiotics likely to be associated with both patient and practice-related variables.
