Multicenter Population Pharmacokinetic Study of Colistimethate Sodium and Colistin Dosed as in Normal Renal Function in Patients on Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.


ABSTRACT: Intravenous colistimethate sodium (CMS) is used to treat infections with multiresistant Gram-negative bacteria. Optimal dosing in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is unclear. In a prospective study, we determined CMS and colistin pharmacokinetics in 10 critically ill patients requiring CRRT (8 underwent continuous venovenous hemodialysis [CVVHD]; median blood flow, 100?ml/min). Intensive sampling was performed on treatment days 1, 3, and 5 after an intravenous CMS loading dose of 9 million international units (MU) (6 MU if body weight was <60?kg) with a consecutive 3-MU (respectively, 2 MU) maintenance dose at 8 h. CMS and colistin concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography with mass spectroscopy. A model-based population pharmacokinetic analysis incorporating CRRT settings was applied to the observations. Sequential model building indicated a monocompartmental distribution for both CMS and colistin, with interindividual variability in both volume and clearance. Hematocrit was shown to affect the efficacy of drug transfer across the filter. CRRT clearance accounted for, on average, 41% of total CMS and 28% of total colistin clearance, confirming enhanced elimination of colistin compared to normal renal function. Target colistin steady-state trough concentrations of at least 2.5?mg/liter were achieved in all patients receiving 3 MU at 8 h. In conclusion, a loading dose of 9 MU followed after 8?h by a maintenance dose of 3 MU every 8 h independent of body weight is expected to achieve therapeutic colistin concentrations in patients undergoing CVVHD using low blood flows. Colistin therapeutic drug monitoring might help to further ensure optimal dosing in individual patients. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02081560.).
