Abstract Background The randomized, double-blind, phase 3 ASPECT-NP trial evaluated the efficacy of 3 g of ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) versus 1 g of meropenem infused every 8 h for 8 to 14 days for treatment of adults with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP). We assessed the probability of target attainment and compared efficacy outcomes from ASPECT-NP in participants with augmented renal clearance (ARC) versus those with normal renal function. Methods Baseline renal function was categorized as normal renal function (creatinine clearance 80–130 mL/min) or ARC (creatinine clearance > 130 mL/min). Population pharmacokinetic models informed Monte Carlo simulations to assess probability of target attainment in plasma and pulmonary epithelial lining fluid. Outcomes included 28-day all-cause mortality and clinical cure and per-participant microbiologic cure rates at the test-of-cure visit. Results A > 99% and > 80% probability of target attainment was demonstrated for ceftolozane and tazobactam, respectively, in simulated plasma and epithelial lining fluid. Within treatment arms, 28-day all-cause mortality rates in participants with normal renal function (C/T, n = 131; meropenem, n = 123) and ARC (C/T, n = 96; meropenem, n = 113) were comparable (data comparisons presented as rate; treatment difference [95% CI]) (C/T: normal renal function, 17.6%; ARC, 17.7%; 0.2 [− 9.6 to 10.6]; meropenem: normal renal function, 20.3%; ARC, 17.7%; − 2.6 [− 12.6 to 7.5]). Clinical cure rates at test-of-cure were also comparable across renal function groups within treatment arms (C/T: normal renal function, 57.3%; ARC, 59.4%; − 2.1 [− 14.8 to 10.8]; meropenem: normal renal function, 59.3%; ARC, 57.5%; 1.8 [− 10.6 to 14.2]). Per-participant microbiologic cure rates at test-of-cure were consistent across renal function groups within treatment arms (C/T: normal renal function, 72.2% [n/N = 70/97]; ARC, 71.4% [n/N = 55/77]; 0.7 [− 12.4 to 14.2]; meropenem: normal renal function, 75.0% [n/N = 66/88]; ARC, 70.0% [n/N = 49/70]; 5.0 [− 8.7 to 19.0]). Conclusions C/T and meropenem resulted in 28-day all-cause mortality, clinical cure, and microbiologic cure rates that were comparable between participants with ARC or normal renal function. In conjunction with high probability of target attainment, these results confirm that C/T (3 g) every 8 h is appropriate in patients with HABP/VABP and ARC.

Abstract Background ASPECT-NP, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study, evaluated C/T (at double the approved dose for other indications) vs. meropenem (MEM) in adults with ventilated nosocomial pneumonia. We compared safety and efficacy outcomes from this trial among patients with and without renal impairment (RI). Methods Patients were stratified by age and diagnosis and were randomized 1:1 to intravenous (IV) C/T 3 g every 8 h or IV MEM 1 g every 8 h. Study drug was administered for 8–14 days; doses were adjusted for moderate and severe RI. Eligible patients were mechanically ventilated; those on renal replacement therapy or with creatinine clearance (CrCL) < 15 mL/minute were excluded. Key efficacy endpoints included clinical cure rates at the test of cure (TOC) visit in the intent-to-treat (ITT) and clinically evaluable (CE) populations and Day 28 all-cause mortality (ACM) in the ITT population. In this analysis, patients were stratified based on renal function for outcome comparisons: normal renal function (CrCL ≥ 80 mL/minute); mild RI (CrCL > 50 to < 80 mL/minute); moderate RI (CrCL ≥ 30 to ≤ 50 mL/minute); and severe RI (CrCL ≥ 15 to < 30 mL/minute). Results A total of 726 patients were enrolled (C/T, N = 362; MEM, N = 364). Clinical cure rates at the TOC visit (CE and ITT populations) were robust across CrCL subgroups in both treatment arms and were similar based on 95% confidence intervals for treatment differences that included 0 (table). Day 28 ACM rates for patients with moderate and severe RI were numerically higher than those with mild RI in the MEM treatment arm. Rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were similar in both treatment arms and across CrCL subgroups, with rates generally increasing with increasing RI severity. Rates of treatment-related TEAEs were low across treatment arms and CrCL subgroups with no treatment-related deaths reported. Conclusion Similar clinical cure and Day 28 ACM rates at the TOC visit were found across treatment groups for all CrCL subgroups, consistent with the overall primary and key secondary efficacy results for the ASPECT-NP study. Both drugs were well-tolerated. The results of this analysis indicate that the use of dose-adjusted C/T is appropriate in patients with nosocomial pneumonia and moderate or severe RI.

Background The authors investigated the incidence and risk factors for postoperative acute renal failure after major noncardiac surgery among patients with previously normal renal function. Methods Adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery with a preoperative calculated creatinine clearance of 80 ml/min or greater were included in a prospective, observational study at a single tertiary care university hospital. Patients were followed for the development of acute renal failure (defined as a calculated creatinine clearance of 50 ml/min or less) within the first 7 postoperative days. Patient preoperative characteristics and intraoperative anesthetic management were evaluated for associations with acute renal failure. Thirty-day, 60-day, and 1-yr all-cause mortality was also evaluated. Results A total of 65,043 cases between 2003 and 2006 were reviewed. Of these, 15,102 patients met the inclusion criteria; 121 patients developed acute renal failure (0.8%), and 14 required renal replacement therapy (0.1%). Seven independent preoperative predictors were identified (P &lt; 0.05): age, emergent surgery, liver disease, body mass index, high-risk surgery, peripheral vascular occlusive disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease necessitating chronic bronchodilator therapy. Several intraoperative management variables were independent predictors of acute renal failure: total vasopressor dose administered, use of a vasopressor infusion, and diuretic administration. Acute renal failure was associated with increased 30-day, 60-day, and 1-yr all-cause mortality. Conclusions Several preoperative predictors previously reported to be associated with acute renal failure after cardiac surgery were also found to be associated with acute renal failure after noncardiac surgery. The use of vasopressor and diuretics is also associated with acute renal failure.

Abstract BACKGROUND In chronic kidney disease (CKD) arginine vasopressin (AVP) cannot efficiently act via renal V2-receptors. AVP is upregulated leading to augmented activation of V1a- and V1b-receptors, which might contribute to the increase in cardiovascular and infectious complications in CKD. Here, we evaluate copeptin, a surrogate of AVP, and its association with cause specific mortality among patients within the whole spectrum of renal function. METHODS Copeptin was measured in baseline samples from the LURIC (n = 3131 patients with coronary angiograms) and the 4D-Study (n = 1241 type 2 diabetic hemodialysis patients). Patients were stratified into 4 groups: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2, 60–89 mL/min/1.73 m2, &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and hemodialysis. The association of copeptin with mortality was assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression during 9.9 years of median follow-up in the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) study and 4 years of median follow-up in the German Diabetes Dialysis Study (4D-Study). RESULTS Median copeptin increased with decreasing eGFR: 5.6 [interquartile range (IQR), 3.1–8.1] pmol/L (eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2), 6.7 (2.9–10.5) pmol/L (eGFR 60–89 mL/min/1.73 m2), 15.3 (6.7–23.9) pmol/L (eGFR &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2), and 80.8 (51.2–122) pmol/L (hemodialysis), respectively. Per SD increase in copeptin, the risk of coronary, infectious, and all-cause mortality increased by 25, 30, and 15% [hazard ratios (HR), 1.25; 95% CI, 1.13–1.39; HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.98–1.71; and HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.05–1.25], respectively, in patients with eGFR 60–89 mL/min/1.73 m2. Except for coronary death, results were similar among patients with more advanced renal disease. No significant association was found in patients with normal renal function. CONCLUSIONS Copeptin concentrations were independently associated with coronary, infectious, and all-cause mortality in patients with renal impairment. In patients with normal renal function no significant association was found.

e13037 Background: Ribociclib is an orally administered CDK4/6 inhibitor used in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) to treat women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2–negative advanced breast cancer (ABC). An integrative assessment was conducted to evaluate the effect of renal function on the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy and safety of ribociclib. Methods: To assess the effect of mild and moderate renal impairment, a subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate PK parameters of ribociclib following oral administration of 600 mg QD 3 weeks on/1 week off in two Phase 1/2 and one Phase 3 clinical trials. Steady-state PK exposures in ABC patients at the 600 mg dose was estimated by a population PK model developed based on a pooled dataset from five Phase 1 to 3 trials and were compared by renal function. Efficacy and safety were also analyzed by renal function in a Phase 2 and three Phase 3 trials in ABC patients. The effect of severe renal impairment on ribociclib PK was assessed in a Phase I study in non-cancer subjects following a single oral 400 mg dose. Results: PK analyses in cancer patients showed that both single-dose and steady-state exposure of ribociclib at the 600 mg dose in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment were comparable to patients with normal renal function. Estimated steady-state PK exposure in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment is also comparable to patients with normal renal function. The primary efficacy results of progression free survival (PFS) and the safety profiles were comparable across renal-function cohorts in ABC patients. In non-cancer subjects administered a single oral dose of 400 mg, ribociclib AUCinf and Cmax increased 2.67- and 2.30-fold in subjects with severe renal impairment, respectively, compared to subjects with normal renal function. Conclusions: PK, efficacy and safety of ribociclib are consistent across patients with normal renal function, mild or moderate renal impairment. Hence, no dose adjustment is required in mild or moderate renal impaired patients. Severe renal impaired patients are recommended to have a reduced dose based on PK data in non-cancer subjects.

Abstract Background Microbiologic cure is a common outcome in pneumonia clinical trials, but its clinical significance is incompletely understood. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients hospitalized with bacterial pneumonia who achieved clinical cure. Rates of recurrent pneumonia and death were compared between patients with persistent growth of the index pathogen at the time of clinical cure (microbiologic failure) and those with pathogen eradication (microbiologic cure). Results Among 441 patients, 237 experienced microbiologic cure and 204 experienced microbiologic failure. Prevalences of comorbidities, ventilator dependence, and severity of acute illness were similar between groups. Patients with microbiologic failure experienced significantly higher rates of recurrent pneumonia or death following clinical cure than patients with microbiologic cure, controlling for comorbid conditions, severity of acute illness, appropriateness of empiric antibiotics, intensive care unit placement, tracheostomy dependence, and immunocompromised status (90-day multivariable adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04–2.35). This association was observed among patients with pneumonias caused by Staphylococcus aureus (90-day multivariable adjusted OR, 3.69; 95% CI, 1.73–7.90). A trend was observed among pneumonias caused by nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli, but not Enterobacteriaceae or other pathogens. Conclusions Microbiologic treatment failure was independently associated with recurrent pneumonia or death among patients with bacterial pneumonia following clinical cure. Microbiologic cure merits further study as a metric to guide therapeutic interventions for patients with bacterial pneumonia.

Abstract Background Exebacase, a novel, antibacterial direct lytic agent for the treatment of S. aureus bacterimia and endocarditis, studied in Phase 1 and 2 trials, demonstrated potential to improve clinical outcomes when used in addition to conventional antibiotics. Objectives were to develop population PK (PPK) model and perform target attainment (TA) simulations to determine optimal clinical doses. Methods PPK model was developed with data from 72 patients receiving Exebacase, in addition to the standard of care, as single 2-hr infusion of 0.25 mg/kg (0.12 mg/kg for patients with creatinine clearance (CrCL) &lt; 60 mL/min). PPK model was used for TA simulations of various IV regimens. Results 3-compartment model best fit the data, parameters were well estimated (CL=4.2 L/hr (RSE=5.5%), Vc=4.5 L (RSE=8.2%)). Total volume of distribution (Vd) was 20.2 L. Values were lower than estimated previously in healthy subjects, CL=7.1 L/hr and Vd=27.7 L. CrCL was the only clinically meaningful covariate. Patients with moderate and severe renal impairment are expected to have 1.3 to 2-fold higher AUC0-24 or Cmax than patients with normal renal function. Age was statistically significant on peripheral clearance but was not clinically meaningful (≤4% effect on exposure). TA simulations were stratified by renal function across a range of fixed as well as weight-based doses (all simulated as 2-hr infusion). In patients with normal renal function or mild impairment, 18 mg dose result in Cmax and AUC0-24 of 1254 ng/mL and 3026 ng*hr/mL, respectively. In patients with moderate or severe renal impairment, 12 mg dose result in Cmax and AUC0-24 of 1107 ng/mL and 3099 ng*hr/mL, respectively. In ESRD patients including hemodialysis, 8 mg dose result in Cmax and AUC0-24 of 910 ng/mL and 3109 ng*hr/mL, respectively. These exposures place &gt;99% subjects above efficacious thresholds of AUC/MIC &gt;0.2 established in animals. Conclusion PPK model described exebacase PK in patients adequately. CL and Vd were estimated to be 40% and 17% lower, respectively, than healthy subjects. CrCL was the only clinically meaningful covariate requiring dose adjustment. TA assessments identified doses that achieve minimum efficacy target (AUC/MIC≥0.2) in &gt;99% of patients with S. aureus. Based on these simulations, fixed dosing schedule was recommended.

Statin Use

Objectives: Statin use during hospitalization improves prognosis in patients with ischaemic stroke. However, it remains uncertain whether acute ischaemic stroke patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) benefit from statin therapy. We investigated the effect of statin use during hospitalization in reducing short-term mortality of patients with ischaemic stroke and CKD. Methods: Data of first-ever ischaemic stroke patients without a history of pre-stroke statin treatment was derived from the China National Stroke Registry. Patients were stratified according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): normal renal function (eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2), mild CKD (eGFR 60–90 mL/min/1.73 m2) and moderate CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between statin use during hospitalization and all-cause mortality with different renal functions at 3-month follow-up. Results: Among 5,951 patients included, 2,595 (43.6%) patients were on statin use during hospitalization after stroke (45.7% in patients with normal renal function, 42.0% in patients with mild CKD, and 39.0% in patients with moderate CKD). Compared with the non-statin group, statin use during hospitalization was associated with decreased all-cause mortality in patients with normal renal function (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.43–0.97, p = 0.04), mild CKD (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.38–0.91, p = 0.02) and moderate CKD (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.23–0.75, p = 0.004) at 3-month follow-up. Conclusions: Statin use during hospitalization was associated with decreased 3-month mortality of ischaemic stroke patients with mild and moderate CKD. However, the conclusion should be confirmed in further studies with larger population, especially with moderate CKD.
