In Vivo Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ZTI-01 (Fosfomycin for Injection) in the Neutropenic Murine Thigh Infection Model against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum agent with activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including drug-resistant strains, such as extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative rods. In the present study, the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) activity of ZTI-01 (fosfomycin for injection) was evaluated in the neutropenic murine thigh infection model against 5 Escherichia coli, 3 Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 2 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, including a subset with ESBL and CR phenotypes. The pharmacokinetics of ZTI-01 were examined in mice after subcutaneous administration of 3.125, 12.5, 50, 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg of body weight. The half-life ranged from 0.51 to 1.1 h, area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-?) ranged from 1.4 to 87 mg · h/liter, and maximum concentrations ranged from 0.6 to 42.4 mg/liter. Dose fractionation demonstrated the AUC/MIC ratio to be the PK/PD index most closely linked to efficacy (R2 = 0.70). Net stasis and bactericidal activity were observed against all strains. Net stasis was observed at 24-h AUC/MIC ratio values of 24, 21, and 15 for E. coli, K., pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa, respectively. For the Enterobacteriaceae group, stasis was noted at mean 24-h AUC/MIC ratio targets of 23 and 1-log kill at 83. Survival in mice infected with E. coli 145 was maximal at 24-h AUC/MIC ratio exposures of 9 to 43, which is comparable to the stasis exposures identified in the PK/PD studies. These results should prove useful for the design of clinical dosing regimens for ZTI-01 in the treatment of serious infections due to Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is an emerging global public health threat that causes life-threatening pneumonia and bacteremia. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) represents a promising advance for the treatment of serious infections caused by KPC-Kp We investigated the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ceftazidime-avibactam in the treatment of experimental KPC-Kp pneumonia in persistently neutropenic rabbits. For single-dose and multidose (administration every 8 h) pharmacokinetics, rabbits received ceftazidime-avibactam intravenous infusions at 60/15, 90/22.5, and 120/30 mg/kg of body weight. Ceftazidime mean area under the concentration-time curves (AUCs) ranged from 287 to 608 μg·h/ml for a single dose and from 300 to 781 μg·h/ml for multiple doses. Avibactam AUCs ranged from 21 to 48 μg·h/ml for a single dose and from 26 to 48 μg·h/ml for multiple doses. KPC-Kp pneumonia was established by direct endotracheal inoculation. Treatments consisted of ceftazidime-avibactam at 120/30 mg/kg every 6 h, a polymyxin B (PMB) loading dose of 2.5 mg/kg followed by 1.5 mg/kg every 12 h q12h, or no treatment (untreated controls [UC]). There were significant reductions in the residual bacterial burden, lung weights, and pulmonary hemorrhage scores in CZA- and PMB-treated rabbits for a 7-day or a 14-day (P ≤ 0.01) course in comparison with those in the UC. These results corresponded to significant decreases in the bacterial burden in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after a 7-day or a 14-day treatment (P ≤ 0.01). The outcomes demonstrated an improved response at 14 days versus that at 7 days. There was significantly prolonged survival in rabbits treated with CZA for 14 days in comparison with that in the PMB-treated or UC rabbits (P ≤ 0.05). This study demonstrates that ceftazidime-avibactam displays linear dose-proportional exposures simulating those seen from human plasma pharmacokinetic profiles, is active for the treatment of experimental KPC-Kp pneumonia in persistently neutropenic rabbits, and provides an experimental foundation for the treatment of severely immunocompromised patients with this life-threatening infection.
