Aims: To optimize the dosing regimen in patients with severe renal impairment based on population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PPK/PD) analysis. Methods: The pharmacokinetics and safety of nemonoxacin was evaluated in a single-dose, open-label, nonrandomized, parallel-group study after single oral dose of 0.5 g nemonoxacin capsule in 10 patients with severe renal impairment and 10 healthy controls. Both blood and urine samples were collected within 48 hours after admission and determined the concentrations. A PPK model was built using nonlinear mixed effects modelling. The probability of target attainment (PTA) and the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) against S. Pneumoniae and S. aureus was calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. Results: The data best fitted to a two-compartment model, from which the PPK parameters were estimated, including clearance (8.55 L/h), central compartment volume (80.8 L), and peripheral compartment volume (50.6 L). The accumulative urinary excretion was 23.4±6.5% in severe renal impairment patients and 66.1±16.8% in healthy controls. PPK/PD modeling and simulation of 4 dosage regimens found that nemonoxacin 0.5 g q48h was the optimal dosing regimen in severe renal impairment patients, evidenced by higher PTA (92.7%) and CFR (>99%) at nemonoxacin MIC ≤ 1 mg/L against S. pneumoniae and S. aureus. The alternative regimens (0.25 g q24h; loading dose 0.5 g on Day 1 followed by 0.25 g q24h) were insufficient to cover the pathogens even if MIC ≤ 0.5 mg/L. Conclusion: An extended dosing interval (0.5 g q48h) may be appropriate for optimal efficacy of nemonoxacin in case of severe renal impairment.

Abstract Objectives In the absence of consensus, the present meta-analysis was performed to determine an optimal dosing regimen of vancomycin for neonates. Methods A ‘meta-model’ with 4894 concentrations from 1631 neonates was built using NONMEM, and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to design an optimal intermittent infusion, aiming to reach a target AUC0–24 of 400 mg·h/L at steady-state in at least 80% of neonates. Results A two-compartment model best fitted the data. Current weight, postmenstrual age (PMA) and serum creatinine were the significant covariates for CL. After model validation, simulations showed that a loading dose (25 mg/kg) and a maintenance dose (15 mg/kg q12h if <35 weeks PMA and 15 mg/kg q8h if ≥35 weeks PMA) achieved the AUC0–24 target earlier than a standard ‘Blue Book’ dosage regimen in >89% of the treated patients. Conclusions The results of a population meta-analysis of vancomycin data have been used to develop a new dosing regimen for neonatal use and to assist in the design of the model-based, multinational European trial, NeoVanc.

Data Files

We retrospectively analysed the data files of 171 adults and 87 children/adolescents with severe haemophilia, except for 14 patients (moderate; minor) (1), to develop a global population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for eight factors VIII (FVIII) that could estimate individual PK parameters for targeting the desired level of FVIII activity (FVIII:C); and (2) to compare half-life (HL) in patients switching from a standard half-life (SHL) to an extended half-life (EHL) and evaluate the relevance of the switch. One-stage clotting assay for the measurement of FVIII activity (FVIII:C, IU/mL) was used for population PK modelling. The software, Monolix version 2019R1, was used for non-linear mixed-effects modelling. A linear two-compartment model best described FVIII:C. The estimated PK parameters (between-subject variability) were: 2640 mL (23.2%) for volume of central compartment (V1), 339 mL (46.8%) for volume of peripheral compartment (V2), 135 mL/h for Q (fixed random effect), and 204 mL/h (34.9%) for clearance (Cl). Weight, age, and categorical covariate EHL were found to influence Cl and only weight for V1. This model can be used for all of the FVIII cited in the study. Moreover, we demonstrated, in accordance with previous studies, that Elocta had longer half-life (EHL) than SHL (mean ratio: 1.48) as compared to Advate, Factane, Kogenate, Novoeight, and Refacto.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of cefoperazone in children and establish an evidence-based dosing regimen using a developmental pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic approach in order to optimize cefoperazone treatment. Methods A model-based, open-label, opportunistic-sampling pharmacokinetic study was conducted in China. Blood samples from 99 cefoperazone-treated children were collected and quantified by HPLC/MS. NONMEM software was used for population pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic analysis. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03113344). Results A two-compartment model with first-order elimination agreed well with the experimental data. Covariate analysis showed that current body weight had a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of cefoperazone. Monte Carlo simulation showed that for bacteria for which cefoperazone has an MIC of 0.5 mg/L, 78.1% of hypothetical children treated with ‘40 mg/kg/day, q8h, IV drip 3 h’ would reach the pharmacodynamic target. For bacteria for which cefoperazone has an MIC of 8 mg/L, 88.4% of hypothetical children treated with 80 mg/kg/day (continuous infusion) would reach the treatment goal. A 160 mg/kg/day (continuous infusion) regimen can cover bacteria for which cefoperazone has an MIC of 16 mg/L. Nevertheless, even if using the maximum reported dose of 160 mg/kg/day (continuous infusion), the ratio of hypothetical children reaching the treatment target was only 9.9% for bacteria for which cefoperazone has an MIC of 32 mg/L. Conclusions For cefoperazone, population pharmacokinetics were evaluated in children and an appropriate dosing regimen was developed based on developmental pharmacokinetics–pharmacodynamics. The dose indicated in the instructions (20–160 mg/kg/day) can basically cover the clinically common bacteria for which cefoperazone has an MIC of ≤16 mg/L. However, for bacteria for which the MIC is &gt;16 mg/L, cefoperazone is not a preferred choice.

ABSTRACT Our objective was to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model in order to evaluate the currently recommended dosing regimen in term and preterm neonates. By using an optimal design approach, a prospective PK study was designed and implemented in 60 neonates with postmenstrual ages (PMA) of 26 to 43 weeks. A loading dose of 16 mg/kg was administered at day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 8 mg/kg daily. Plasma concentrations were quantified by high-pressure liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Population PK (popPK) analysis was performed using NONMEM software. Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations were performed to evaluate currently recommended dosing based on a pharmacodynamic index of area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/MIC ratio of ≥400. A two-compartment model with linear elimination best described the data by the following equations: clearance (CL) = 0.0227 × (weight [wt]/1,765)0.75 × (estimated creatinine clearance [eCRCL]/22)0.672, central compartment volume of distribution (V1) = 0.283 (wt/1,765), intercompartmental clearance (Q) = 0.151 (wt/1,765)0.75, and peripheral compartment volume (V2) = 0.541 (wt/1,765). The interindividual variability estimates for CL, V1, and V2 were 36.5%, 45.7%, and 51.4%, respectively. Current weight (wt) and estimated creatinine clearance (eCRCL) significantly explained the observed variability. MC simulation demonstrated that, with the current dosing regimen, an AUC/MIC ratio of ≥400 was reached by only 68.5% of neonates with wt of <1 kg when the MIC was equal to 1 mg/kg, versus 82.2%, 89.7%, and 92.7% of neonates with wt of 1 to <2, 2 to <3, or ≥3 kg, respectively. Augmentation of a maintenance dose up to 10 or 11 mg/kg for preterm neonates with wt of 1 to <2 or <1 kg, respectively, increases the probability of reaching the therapeutic target; the recommended doses seem to be adequate for neonates with wt of ≥2 kg. Teicoplanin PK are variable in neonates, with wt and eCRCL having the most significant impact. Neonates with wt of <2 kg need higher doses, especially for Staphylococcus spp. with an MIC value of ≥1 mg/liter.

Background Target-controlled infusion is an increasingly common type of administration for propofol. This method requires accurate knowledge of pharmacokinetics, including the effects of age and weight. The authors performed a multicenter population analysis to quantitate the effects of covariates. Methods The authors analyzed 4,112 samples of 270 individuals (150 men, 120 women, aged 2-88 yr, weighing 12-100 kg). Population pharmacokinetic modeling was performed using NONMEM (NONMEM Project Group, University of California, San Francisco, CA). Inter- and intraindividual variability was estimated for clearances and volumes. The effects of age, weight, type of administration and sampling site were investigated. Results The pharmacokinetics of propofol were best described by a three-compartment model. Weight was found to be a significant covariate for elimination clearance, the two intercompartmental clearances, and the volumes of the central compartment, the shallow peripheral compartment, and the deep peripheral compartment; power functions with exponents smaller than 1 yielded the best results. The estimates of these parameters for a 70-kg adult were 1.44 l/min, 2.25 l/min, 0.92 l/min, 9.3 l, 44.2 l, and 266 l, respectively. For patients older than 60 yr the elimination clearance decreased linearly. The volume of the central compartment decreased with age. For children, all parameters were increased when normalized to body weight. Venous data showed a decreased elimination clearance; bolus data were characterized by increases in the volumes of the central and shallow peripheral compartments and in the rapid distribution clearance (Cl2) and a decrease in the slow distribution clearance (Cl3). Conclusions Pharmacokinetics of propofol can be well described by a three-compartment model. Inclusion of age and weight as covariates significantly improved the model. Adjusting pharmacokinetics to the individual patient should improve the precision of target-controlled infusion and may help to broaden the field of application for target-controlled infusion systems.

ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to characterize the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of efavirenz (EFV) and 8-hydroxy-efavirenz (8OHEFV) in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and to explore covariates affecting the PK parameters. Fifty-one patients had steady-state 0-to-24-h concentrations of EFV and 8OHEFV in plasma with corresponding concentrations in PBMCs, while 261 patients had one or two sparse concentrations at 16 ± 1 h postdose at weeks 4 and/or 16. The pharmacogenetic markers CYP2B6*6, CYP3A5*3, CYP3A5*6, UGT2B7*2, ABCB1 (3435C→T, 3842A→G), OATP1B1*1B, and OATP1B1*5, the presence of a rifampin-based antituberculosis (anti-TB) regimen, baseline body weight and organ function values, and demographic factors were explored as covariates. EFV concentration data were well described by a two-compartment model with first-order absorption (Ka ) and absorption lag time (A lag) (Ka = 0.2 h−1; A lag = 0.83 h; central compartment clearance [CLc/F] for CYP2B6*1/*1 = 18 liters/h, for CYP2B6*1/*6 = 14 liters/h, and for CYP2B6*6/*6 = 8.6 liters/h) and PBMCs as a peripheral compartment. EFV transfer from plasma to PBMCs was first order (CLp/F = 32 liters/h), followed by capacity-limited return (V max = 4,400 ng/ml/h; Km = 710 ng/ml). Similarly, 8OHEFV displayed a first-order elimination and distribution to PBMCs, with a capacity-limited return to plasma. No covariate relationships resulted in a significant explanation of interindividual variability (IIV) on the estimated PK parameters of EFV and 8OHEFV, except for CYP2B6*6 genotypes, which were consistent with prior evidence. Both EFV and 8OHEFV accumulated to higher concentrations in PBMCs than in plasma and were well described by first-order input and Michaelis-Menten kinetics removal from PBMCs. CYP2B6*6 genotype polymorphisms were associated with decreased EFV and 8OHEFV clearance.

Abstract Background The pharmacokinetics (PK) of antibiotics change during sepsis and continuous renal replacement therapies in critically ill patients. Limited evidence exists on the use of the oXiris® high-adsorbent membrane. Objectives To develop a PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) model for meropenem in critically ill sepsis patients undergoing continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) with the oXiris® membrane, and to design an optimal dosing regimen assessed according to the PTA. Methods A prospective, open-label, observational PK trial was performed (EUDRACT 2011-005902-30). We conducted PK studies (plasma and ultrafiltrate) for at least 24 h after concomitant administration of CVVHDF and meropenem 1 g q8h. We constructed a PK model using the non-linear mixed-effects approach (NONMEM 7.3). We evaluated the suitability of different dosage regimens using Monte Carlo simulations and calculated the PTA as the percentage of subjects achieving a given percentage of time above the MIC (fT>MIC). Results The PK of meropenem was best captured by a two-open-compartment model with zero-order input kinetics and first-order elimination. Extracorporeal CL was 7.78 L/h [relative standard error (RSE) 16.45 L/h] and central compartment V (Vc) was 24.9 L (RSE 13.73 L). Simulations showed that, for susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates (EUCAST MIC ≤2 mg/L) and attainment of 100%fT>MIC, 500 mg q8h given as extended (EI) or continuous infusion (CI) would be sufficient. For a target of 100%fT>4×MIC, CI of 3000 mg q24h or 2000 mg q8h administered as EI or CI would be required. Conclusions We have constructed a PK model of meropenem in sepsis patients undergoing CVVHDF using the oXiris® membrane. This tool will support physicians when calculating the optimal initial dose.

ABSTRACTLinezolid is a treatment option for methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Little is known, however, about its pharmacokinetics in this population. Eight adults with CF were randomized to receive intravenous (i.v.) and oral linezolid at 600 mg twice daily for 9 doses in a crossover design with a 9-day washout. Plasma samples were collected after the first and ninth doses of each phase. Population pharmacokinetic analyses were performed by nonlinear mixed-effects modeling using a previously described 2-compartment model with time-dependent clearance inhibition. Monte Carlo simulation was performed to assess the activities of the linezolid dosing regimens against 42 contemporary MRSA isolates recovered from CF patients. The following pharmacokinetic parameter estimates were observed for the population: absorption rate constant, 1.91 h−1; clearance, 9.54 liters/h; volume of central compartment, 26.8 liters; volume of peripheral compartment, 17.3 liters; and intercompartmental clearance, 104 liters/h. Linezolid demonstrated nonlinear clearance after 9 doses, which was reduced by a mean of 38.9% (range, 28.8 to 59.9%). Mean bioavailability was 85% (range, 47 to 131%). At steady state, 600 mg given twice daily produced 93.0% and 87.2% probabilities of obtaining the target pharmacodynamic exposure against the MRSA isolates for the i.v. and oral formulations, respectively. Thrice-daily dosing increased the probabilities to 97.0% and 95.6%, respectively. Linezolid pharmacokinetics in these adults with CF were well described by a 2-compartment model with time-dependent clearance inhibition. Standard i.v. and oral dosing regimens should be sufficient to reliably attain pharmacodynamic targets against most MRSA isolates; however, more frequent dosing may be required for isolates with MICs of ≥2 μg/ml.

Objectives: There are no available pharmacokinetic data to guide piperacillin dosing in critically ill Australian Indigenous patients despite numerous reported physiological differences. This study aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of piperacillin in critically ill Australian Indigenous patients with severe sepsis.Methods: A population pharmacokinetic study of Indigenous patients with severe sepsis was conducted in a remote hospital intensive care unit. Plasma samples were collected over two dosing intervals and assayed by validated chromatography. Population pharmacokinetic modelling was conducted using Pmetrics®.Results: Nine patients were recruited and a two compartment model adequately described the data. Piperacillin clearance (CL), volume of distribution of the central compartment (Vc), distribution rate constant from central to peripheral compartment and from peripheral to central compartment were 5.6 ± 3.2 L/h, 14.5 ± 6.6 L, 1.5 ± 0.4 h-1and 1.8 ± 0.9 h-1respectively, where CL and Vcwere found to be described by creatinine clearance (CrCL) and total body weight respectively.Conclusion: In this patient population, piperacillin demonstrated high interindividual pharmacokinetic variability. CrCL were found to be the most important determinant of piperacillin pharmacokinetics.
