Avibactam Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Targets.

ABSTRACT: Avibactam is a novel non-?-lactam ?-lactamase inhibitor that has been approved in the United States and Europe for use in combination with ceftazidime. Combinations of avibactam with aztreonam or ceftaroline fosamil have also been clinically evaluated. Until recently, there has been very little precedence of which pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) indices and magnitudes are appropriate to use for ?-lactamase inhibitors in population PK modeling for analyzing potential doses and susceptibility breakpoints. For avibactam, several preclinical studies using different in vitro and in vivo models have been conducted to identify the PK/PD index of avibactam and the magnitude of exposure necessary for effect in combination with ceftazidime, aztreonam, or ceftaroline fosamil. The PD driver of avibactam critical for restoring the activity of all three partner ?-lactams was found to be time dependent rather than concentration dependent and was defined as the time that the concentration of avibactam exceeded a critical concentration threshold (%fT>CT). The magnitude of the CT and the time that this threshold needed to be exceeded to elicit particular PD endpoints varied depending on the model and the partner ?-lactam. This review describes the preclinical studies used to determine the avibactam PK/PD target in combination with its ?-lactam partners.

Avibactam is a novel non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor that has been approved in the United States and Europe for use in combination with ceftazidime. Combinations of avibactam with aztreonam or ceftaroline fosamil have also been clinically evaluated. Until recently, there has been very little precedence of which pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) indices and magnitudes are appropriate to use for β-lactamase inhibitors in population PK modeling for analyzing potential doses and susceptibil ...[more]

Project description:Acute pulmonary exacerbations (APE) involving Pseudomonas aeruginosa are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Drug resistance is a significant challenge to treatment. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) demonstrates excellent in vitro activity against isolates recovered from CF patients, including drug-resistant strains. Altered pharmacokinetics (PK) of several beta-lactam antibiotics have been reported in CF patients. Therefore, this study sought to characterize the PK of CZA and perform target attainment analyses to determine the optimal treatment regimen. The PK of CZA in 12 adult CF patients administered 3 intravenous doses of 2.5 g every 8 h infused over 2 h were determined. Population modeling utilized the maximum likelihood expectation method. Monte Carlo simulations determined the probability of target attainment (PTA). An exposure target consisting of the cumulative percentage of a 24-h period that the free drug concentration exceeds the MIC under steady-state pharmacokinetic conditions (fT>MIC) was evaluated for ceftazidime (CAZ), and an exposure target consisting of the cumulative percentage of a 24-h period that the free drug concentration exceeds a 1-mg/liter threshold concentration (fT>1 mg/liter) was evaluated for avibactam (AVI). Published CAZ and CZA MIC distributions were incorporated to evaluate cumulative response probabilities. CAZ and AVI were best described by one-compartment models. The values of total body clearance (CL; CAZ CL, 7.53 ± 1.28 liters/h; AVI CL, 12.30 ± 1.96 liters/h) and volume of distribution (V; CAZ V, 18.80 ± 6.54 liters; AVI V, 25.30 ± 4.43 liters) were broadly similar to published values for healthy adults. CZA achieved a PTA (fT>MIC, 50%) of >0.9 for MICs of ?16 mg/liter. The overall likelihood of a treatment response was 0.82 for CZA, whereas it was 0.42 for CAZ. These data demonstrate improved pharmacodynamics of CZA in comparison with those of CAZ and provide guidance on the optimal dosing of CZA for future studies. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT02504827.).
