ABSTRACT Plasma ketoconazole (KETO), amprenavir (APV), and ritonavir (RTV) pharmacokinetics were evaluated in 15 healthy subjects after being treated with KETO at 200 mg once daily (QD), fosamprenavir (FPV)/RTV at 700/100 mg twice daily (BID), and then KETO at 200 mg QD plus FPV/RTV at 700/100 mg BID in this open-label study. The KETO area under the concentration-time curve at steady state was increased 2.69-fold with FPV/RTV. APV exposure was unchanged, and RTV exposure was slightly increased.

ABSTRACT A recommended total-body-weight (TBW) dosing strategy for telavancin may not be optimal in obese patients. The primary objective of this study was to characterize and compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of telavancin across four body size groups: normal to overweight and obese classes I, II, and III. Healthy adult subjects ( n = 32) received a single, weight-stratified, fixed dose of 500 mg ( n = 4), 750 mg ( n = 8), or 1,000 mg ( n = 20) of telavancin. Noncompartmental PK analyses revealed that subjects with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥40 kg/m 2 had a higher volume of distribution (16.24 ± 2.7 liters) than subjects with a BMI of <30 kg/m 2 (11.71 ± 2.6 liters). The observed area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC 0–∞ ) ranged from 338.1 to 867.3 mg · h/liter, with the lowest exposures being in subjects who received 500 mg. AUC 0–∞ values were similar among obese subjects who received 1,000 mg. A two-compartment population PK model best described the plasma concentration-time profile of telavancin when adjusted body weight (ABW) was included as a predictive covariate. Fixed doses of 750 mg and 1,000 mg had similar target attainment probabilities for efficacy as doses of 10 mg/kg of body weight based on ABW and TBW, respectively. However, the probability of achieving a target area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 h of ≥763 mg · h/liter in association with acute kidney injury was highest (19.7%) with TBW-simulated dosing and lowest (0.4%) at the 750-mg dose. These results suggest that a fixed dose of 750 mg is a safe and effective alternative to telavancin doses based on TBW or ABW for the treatment of obese patients with normal renal function and Staphylococcus aureus infections.

We describe a new modality for administering aminoglycosides to hemodialysis (HD) patients, namely, a modification of the once-daily regimen which consists of administering the aminoglycosides over 60 min by drip infusion just before each HD session, with a preplanned peak concentration being reached at the beginning of the session and then with a rapidly decreasing concentration being achieved by the start of HD. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), i.e., the accumulation of the drug in the body, is thus minimized by this modality. Arbekacin (ABK) was given at a dose of 2 mg/kg of body weight to 10 HD patients infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) for 2 weeks (six sessions in total), resulting in the complete disappearance of MRSA in 5 patients. A high rate of elimination of ABK was attained for each patient while the patient was on HD (range, 0.20 to 0.42 h-1; mean 0.28 +/- 0.08 h-1) by using high-performance dialyzers provided with membranes made of either polymethylmethacrylate, cellulose triacetate (CTA), or ethylene vinyl alcohol. The best results were obtained with the CTA membrane, as revealed by the overall mass transfer coefficient (Ko). The AUC in the simulation model for the variation in the serum ABK concentration in this modality was calculated to be 40% of that of the conventional post-HD dosing modality, suggesting that a much higher dose could be administered to HD patients who receive HD thrice weekly (4 h per session), giving, e.g., 4 mg/kg initially and before the HD sessions, when there is an interval of 68 h from HD session to HD session, and giving 2 mg/kg before the other sessions.

ABSTRACT Daptomycin is a novel lipopeptide antibiotic with potent bactericidal activity against most clinically important gram-positive bacteria, including resistant strains. Daptomycin has been shown to have an effect on skeletal muscle. To guide the clinical dosing regimen with the potential for the least effect on skeletal muscle, two studies were conducted with dogs to compare the effects of repeated intravenous administration every 24 h versus every 8 h for 20 days. The data suggest that skeletal-muscle effects were more closely related to the dosing interval than to either the maximum concentration of the drug in plasma or the area under the concentration-time curve. Both increases in serum creatine phosphokinase activity and the incidence of myopathy observed at 25 mg/kg of body weight every 8 h were greater than those observed at 75 mg/kg every 24 h despite the lower maximum concentration of drug in plasma. Similarly, the effects observed at 25 mg/kg every 8 h were greater than those observed at 75 mg/kg every 24 h at approximately the same area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h. Once-daily administration appeared to minimize the potential for daptomycin-related skeletal-muscle effects, possibly by allowing for more time between doses for repair of subclinical effects. Thus, these studies with dogs suggest that once-daily dosing of daptomycin in humans should have the potential to minimize skeletal-muscle effects. In fact, interim results of ongoing clinical trials, which have focused on once-daily dosing, appear to be consistent with this conclusion.

ABSTRACT An obese woman was treated with oral tedizolid 200 mg once daily for pseudoarthrosis 10 years after Roux-en-Y bypass surgery. Total plasma peak concentration was 2.12 mg/liter 3 h after intake, and area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC 0–24 ) was 28.3 mg/liter · h. The AUC 0–24 /MIC ratio for unbound concentrations and for sensitive Staphylococcus and Streptococcus strains was ≥10.8, higher than the target ratio of 3. These results support the use of tedizolid without adjustment after bariatric surgery.

ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetics of daptomycin (10 mg/kg once daily) was studied in 4 critically ill pediatric patients aged 8 to 14 yrs. The area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC 0–∞ ) of plasma concentrations on day 1 ranged between 123.8 to 663.9 μg · h/ml, with lower values observed in septic and burn patients; clearance ranged from 15.1 to 80.7 ml/h/kg. Higher-than-recommended doses of daptomycin may be needed in septic children to ensure optimal drug exposure. Interpatient variability may suggest a role for therapeutic drug monitoring.

ABSTRACT We aimed in this study to describe efavirenz concentration-time courses in treatment-naïve children after once-daily administration to study the effects of age and body weight on efavirenz pharmacokinetics and to test relationships between doses, plasma concentrations, and efficacy. For this purpose, efavirenz concentrations in 48 children were measured after 2 weeks of didanosine-lamivudine-efavirenz treatment, and samples were available for 9/48 children between months 2 and 5 of treatment. Efavirenz concentrations in 200 plasma specimens were measured using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography method. A population pharmacokinetic model was developed with NONMEM. The influence of individual characteristics was tested using a likelihood ratio test. The estimated minimal and maximal concentrations of efavirenz in plasma (C min and C max, respectively) and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) were correlated to the decrease in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA levels after 3 months of treatment. The threshold C min (and AUC) that improved efficacy was determined. The target minimal concentration of 4 mg/liter was considered for toxicity. An optimized dosing schedule that would place the highest percentage of children in the interval of effective and nontoxic concentrations was simulated. The pharmacokinetics of efavirenz was best described by a one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination. The mean apparent clearance and volume of distribution for efavirenz were 0.211 liter/h/kg and 4.48 liters/kg, respectively. Clearance decreased significantly with age. When the recommended doses were given to 46 of the 48 children, 19% (44% of children weighing less than 15 kg) had C mins below 1 mg/liter. A significantly higher percentage of children with C mins of >1.1 mg/liter or AUCs of >51 mg/liter·h than of children with lower values had viral load decreases greater than 2 log10 copies/ml after 3 months of treatment. Therefore, to optimize the percentage of children with C mins between 1.1 and 4 mg/liter, children should receive the following once-daily efavirenz doses: 25 mg/kg of body weight from 2 to 6 years, 15 mg/kg from 6 to 10 years, and 10 mg/kg from 10 to 15 years. These assumptions should be prospectively confirmed.

Objective Oral once-daily dual-release hydrocortisone (DR-HC) replacement therapy was developed to provide a cortisol exposure−time profile that closely resembles the physiological cortisol profile. This study aimed to characterize single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of DR-HC 5–20mg and assess intrasubject variability. Methods Thirty-one healthy Japanese or non-Hispanic Caucasian volunteers aged 20−55 years participated in this randomized, open-label, PK study. Single doses of DR-HC 5, 15 (3×5), and 20mg were administered orally after an overnight fast and suppression of endogenous cortisol secretion. After estimating the endogenous cortisol profile, PK of DR-HC over 24h were evaluated to assess dose proportionality and impact of ethnicity. Plasma cortisol concentrations were analyzed using liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry. PK parameters were calculated from individual cortisol concentration−time profiles. Results DR-HC 20mg provided higher than endogenous cortisol plasma concentrations 0−4h post-dose but similar concentrations later in the profile. Cortisol concentrations and PK exposure parameters increased with increasing doses. Mean maximal serum concentration (Cmax) was 82.0 and 178.1ng/mL, while mean area under the concentration−time curve (AUC)0−∞ was 562.8 and 1180.8h×ng/mL with DR-HC 5 and 20mg respectively. Within-subject PK variability was low (<15%) for DR-HC 20mg. All exposure PK parameters were less than dose proportional (slope <1). PK differences between ethnicities were explained by body weight differences. Conclusions DR-HC replacement resembles the daily normal cortisol profile. Within-subject day-to-day PK variability was low, underpinning the safety of DR-HC for replacement therapy. DR-HC PK were less than dose proportional – an important consideration when managing intercurrent illness in patients with adrenal insufficiency.

ABSTRACTThe effect of multiple doses of rifabutin (150 mg) on the pharmacokinetics of saquinavir-ritonavir (1,000 mg of saquinavir and 100 mg of ritonavir [1,000/100 mg]) twice daily (BID) was assessed in 25 healthy subjects. Rifabutin reduced the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 h postdose (AUC0-12), maximum observed concentration of drug in plasma (Cmax), and minimum observed concentration of drug in plasma at the end of the dosing interval (Cmin) for saquinavir by 13%, 15%, and 9%, respectively, for subjects receiving rifabutin (150 mg) every 3 days with saquinavir-ritonavir BID. No effects of rifabutin on ritonavir AUC0-12,Cmax, andCminwere observed. No adjustment of the saquinavir-ritonavir dose (1,000/100 mg) BID is required when the drugs are administered in combination with rifabutin. The effect of multiple doses of saquinavir-ritonavir on rifabutin pharmacokinetics was evaluated in two groups of healthy subjects. In group 1 (n= 14), rifabutin (150 mg) was coadministered every 3 days with saquinavir-ritonavir BID. The AUC0-72andCmaxof the active moiety (rifabutin plus 25-O-desacetyl-rifabutin) increased by 134% and 130%, respectively, compared with administration of rifabutin (150 mg) once daily alone. Rifabutin exposure increased by 53% for AUC0-72and by 86% forCmax. In group 3 (n =13), rifabutin was coadministered every 4 days with saquinavir-ritonavir BID. The AUC0-96andCmaxof the active moiety increased by 60% and 111%, respectively, compared to administration of 150 mg of rifabutin once daily alone. The AUC0-96of rifabutin was not affected, andCmaxincreased by 68%. Monitoring of neutropenia and liver enzyme levels is recommended for patients receiving rifabutin with saquinavir-ritonavir BID.
