Selection of piperacillin/tazobactam infusion mode guided by SOFA score in cancer patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia: a randomized controlled study.

ABSTRACT: Background:This study aimed to select piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) infusion mode guided by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in cancer patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) postoperation. Patients and methods:A total of 120 cancer patients with postoperative HAP were divided into two groups: improved administration group (L group) and conventional treatment group (Con group). The Con group received traditional infusion of TZP and the L group received it as prolonged infusion. Blood drug concentration was detected at different time points. Based on the SOFA cut-off value of 9, the patients were regrouped into M (mild) and S (severe) groups. Results:Percent time that the free drug concentrations remain above the minimum inhibitory concentration (%fT>MIC) was longer than 5 h in L group, but <4 h in Con group. Administration method (p=0.033, OX value 2.796, B value 1.028, 95% CI: 0.855-8.934) and SOFA score (p=0.038, OX value 0.080, B value -2.522, 95% CI: 0.007-0.874) were independent predictors of patient survival. In the S group, compared to conventional treatment, prolonged infusion mode resulted in shorter days of antibiotic use and shorter ventilator time, and achieved longer survival, better clinical efficacy, and lower 28-day mortality rate. Conclusion:For cancer patients with SOFA score ?9, prolonged infusion of TZP could benefit the patients and obtain better clinical efficacy.

Project description:Background and objectivesInfection is the most common cause of death in severe AKI, but many patients receiving continuous RRT do not reach target antibiotic concentrations in plasma. Extended infusion of β-lactams is associated with improved target attainment in critically ill patients; thus, we hypothesized that extended infusion piperacillin-tazobactam would improve piperacillin target attainment compared with short infusion in patients receiving continuous RRT.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe conducted an institutional review board-approved observational cohort study of piperacillin-tazobactam pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in critically ill patients receiving continuous venovenous hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration at three tertiary care hospitals between 2007 and 2015. Antibiotic concentrations in blood and/or dialysate samples were measured by liquid chromatography, and one- and two-compartment pharmacokinetic models were fitted to the data using nonlinear mixed effects regression. Target attainment for piperacillin was defined as achieving four times the minimum inhibitory concentration of 16 μg/ml for >50% of the dosing cycle. The probabilities of target attainment for a range of doses, frequencies, and infusion durations were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation method. Target attainment was also examined as a function of patient weight and continuous RRT effluent rate.ResultsSixty-eight participants had data for analysis. Regardless of infusion duration, 6 g/d piperacillin was associated with ≤45% target attainment, whereas 12 g/d was associated with ≥95% target attainment. For 8 and 9 g/d, target attainment ranged between 68% and 85%. The probability of target attainment was lower at higher effluent rates and patient weights. For all doses, frequencies, patient weights, and continuous RRT effluent rates, extended infusion was associated with higher probability of target attainment compared with short infusion.ConclusionsExtended infusions of piperacillin-tazobactam are associated with greater probability of target attainment in patients receiving continuous RRT.

Project description:The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for piperacillin (PIPC)/tazobactam (TAZ) in late elderly patients with pneumonia and to optimize the administration planning by applying pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) criteria. PIPC/TAZ (total dose of 2.25 or 4.5 g) was infused intravenously three times daily to Japanese patients over 75 years old. The plasma concentrations of PIPC and TAZ were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography and modeled using the NONMEM program. PK/PD analysis with a random simulation was conducted using the final population PK model to estimate the probability of target attainment (PTA) profiles for various PIPC/TAZ-regimen-minimum-inhibitory-concentration (MIC) combinations. The PTAs for PIPC and TAZ were determined as the fraction that achieved at least 50% free time > MIC and area under the free-plasma-concentration-time curve over 24 h ? 96 ?g h/mL, respectively. A total of 18 cases, the mean age of which was 86.5 ± 6.0 (75-101) years, were investigated. The plasma-concentration-time profiles of PIPC and TAZ were characterized by a two-compartment model. The parameter estimates for the final model, namely the total clearance, central distribution volume, peripheral distribution volume, and intercompartmental clearance, were 4.58 + 0.061 × (CLcr - 37.4) L/h, 5.39 L, 6.96 L, and 20.7 L/h for PIPC, and 5.00 + 0.059 × (CLcr - 37.4) L/h, 6.29 L, 7.73 L, and 24.0 L/h for TAZ, respectively, where CLcr is the creatinine clearance. PK/PD analysis using the final model showed that in drug-resistant strains with a MIC > 8 ?g/mL, 4.5 g of PIPC/TAZ every 6 h was required, even for the patients with a CLcr of 50-60 mL/min. The population PK model developed in this study, together with MIC value, can be useful for optimizing the PIPC/TAZ dosage in the over-75-year-old patients, when they are administered PIPC/TAZ. Therefore, the findings of present study may contribute to improving the efficacy and safety of the administration of PIPC/TAZ therapy in late elderly patients with pneumonia.

Project description:BackgroundImipenem combined with the β-lactamase inhibitor relebactam has broad antibacterial activity, including against carbapenem-resistant gram-negative pathogens. We evaluated efficacy and safety of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam in treating hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP).MethodsThis was a randomized, controlled, double-blind phase 3 trial. Adults with HABP/VABP were randomized 1:1 to imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam 500 mg/500 mg/250 mg or piperacillin/tazobactam 4 g/500 mg, intravenously every 6 hours for 7-14 days. The primary endpoint was day 28 all-cause mortality in the modified intent-to-treat (MITT) population (patients who received study therapy, excluding those with only gram-positive cocci at baseline). The key secondary endpoint was clinical response 7-14 days after completing therapy in the MITT population.ResultsOf 537 randomized patients (from 113 hospitals in 27 countries), the MITT population comprised 264 imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam and 267 piperacillin/tazobactam patients; 48.6% had ventilated HABP/VABP, 47.5% APACHE II score ≥15, 24.7% moderate/severe renal impairment, 42.9% were ≥65 years old, and 66.1% were in the intensive care unit. The most common baseline pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.6%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.9%). Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam was noninferior (P < .001) to piperacillin/tazobactam for both endpoints: day 28 all-cause mortality was 15.9% with imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam and 21.3% with piperacillin/tazobactam (difference, -5.3% [95% confidence interval {CI}, -11.9% to 1.2%]), and favorable clinical response at early follow-up was 61.0% and 55.8%, respectively (difference, 5.0% [95% CI, -3.2% to 13.2%]). Serious adverse events (AEs) occurred in 26.7% of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam and 32.0% of piperacillin/tazobactam patients; AEs leading to treatment discontinuation in 5.6% and 8.2%, respectively; and drug-related AEs (none fatal) in 11.7% and 9.7%, respectively.ConclusionsImipenem/cilastatin/relebactam is an appropriate treatment option for gram-negative HABP/VABP, including in critically ill, high-risk patients.Clinical trials registrationNCT02493764.

Project description:ObjectivesPiperacillin/tazobactam combined with vancomycin has been associated with a decline in renal function when compared with monotherapy. Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide similar to vancomycin. We investigated whether piperacillin/tazobactam combined with teicoplanin is associated with a decline in renal function as well.MethodsWe conducted a single-centre retrospective cohort study with data from our electronic health records from 9 August 2013 to 15 November 2019, including all adult patients that received either piperacillin/tazobactam, teicoplanin or piperacillin/tazobactam + teicoplanin. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) at 48-72 h served as the primary outcome, whereas change in serum creatinine served as a secondary outcome.ResultsOf the 4202 included patients, 3188 (75.9%) received piperacillin/tazobactam, 791 (18.8%) received teicoplanin and 223 (5.3%) received piperacillin/tazobactam + teicoplanin. The incidence of AKI at 48-72 h after commencement of antibiotic therapy was 5.4% for piperacillin/tazobactam, 3.4% for teicoplanin and 11.7% for piperacillin/tazobactam + teicoplanin (P < 0.001). However, mean serum creatinine at 48-72 h was slightly higher in the piperacillin/tazobactam + teicoplanin group therapy compared with baseline [+1.61% (95% CI -2.25 to 5.70)], indicating a slight decrease in renal function, and decreased for piperacillin/tazobactam [-1.98% (95% CI -2.73 to -1.22)] and teicoplanin [-8.01% (95% CI -9.54 to -6.45)]. After correcting for significant confounders in a multivariate linear regression analysis, these patterns remained.ConclusionsOur study suggests that piperacillin/tazobactam + teicoplanin is associated with a higher prevalence of AKI compared with monotherapy. However, as the overall decline in renal function with piperacillin/tazobactam + teicoplanin is very small, its clinical relevance is likely limited. Therefore, piperacillin/tazobactam + teicoplanin can probably be safely combined.
