Population pharmacokinetics of ampicillin and sulbactam in patients with community-acquired pneumonia: evaluation of the impact of renal impairment.

ABSTRACT: The aims of this study were to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model of ampicillin and sulbactam, to identify patient characteristics influencing the PK, and to explore the relationship between dose regimen and degree of renal impairment with exposure and time above minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).This analysis was performed on PK data for ampicillin and sulbactam and MIC data from a clinical trial in Japanese patients with community acquired pneumonia. Simulations were performed to investigate the effects of different dosing intervals on exposure and time above MIC in various degrees of renal impairment.The plasma concentrations from 47 patients were adequately described by a two compartment model with simultaneous fit of ampicillin and sulbactam PK data, where creatinine clearance on clearance and body weight on volume in the peripheral compartment were identified as covariates for both drugs. Creatinine clearance contributed to reducing inter-individual variability of clearance by 16%. Mean clearance (inter-individual variability) for ampicillin and sulbactam was estimated to be 10.7 l?h(-1) (14.8%) and 10.4 l?h(-1) (15.2%), respectively. The time above MIC for each pathogen was generally > 50% of the treatment period. Simulations for exposure and time above MIC supported currently recommended dose adjustments.This study provided a PK model for ampicillin and sulbactam, the time above MICs for identified pathogens and associated simulation results. These findings provide useful information and augment evidence for the established dosage regimens in patients with various degrees of renal impairment.

Project description:Sulbactam-durlobactam is being developed for the treatment of infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, including those caused by multidrug- and carbapenem-resistant isolates. This was a phase 1 study to evaluate the effects of various degrees of renal impairment, including subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD), on the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of durlobactam (also known as ETX2514) and sulbactam after single intravenous (i.v.) dose administration. For healthy subjects and those with mild or moderate renal impairment (RI), single 1,000-mg doses each of durlobactam and sulbactam via a 3-h i.v. infusion were administered, and for severe renal impairment, 500-mg doses were administered. For subjects with ESRD and HD, 500-mg i.v. doses each of durlobactam and sulbactam were administered post-HD and pre-HD, with a 1-week washout between doses. Among 34 subjects, decreasing renal function increased systemic exposure (peak plasma concentration [C max] and area under the concentration-time curve [AUC]) to durlobactam and sulbactam in a generally linear manner. In healthy subjects and in those with mild or moderate renal impairment, the majority of durlobactam and sulbactam was excreted in the urine, while approximately 40% or less was excreted in urine in subjects with severe renal impairment or ESRD. In subjects with ESRD, hemodialysis was effective at removing both durlobactam and sulbactam from plasma. Renal impairment had no effect of the safety/tolerability profile of durlobactam and sulbactam. In summary, RI and ESRD had a predictable effect on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of durlobactam and sulbactam with no adverse effects on the safety/tolerability profile. Durlobactam and sulbactam are cleared to a similar extent by renal elimination and are impacted similarly by renal impairment. The results from this study have been used with population PK modeling and nonclinically derived PK/PD (pharmacodynamic) exposure targets to establish dosage recommendations for durlobactam and sulbactam in patients with various degrees of RI. The dosing regimen of durlobactam-sulbactam will require adjustment in patients with severe renal insufficiency and in those with ESRD.
