Intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics of cefiderocol, a novel siderophore cephalosporin, in healthy adult subjects.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cefiderocol, a novel siderophore cephalosporin, has shown potent activity against Gram-negative bacteria, including MDR pathogens. Cefiderocol is under clinical investigation for the treatment of serious Gram-negative infections including nosocomial pneumonia. OBJECTIVES:This study assessed intrapulmonary penetration after a single intravenous dose of cefiderocol (2000?mg infused over 60?min) in healthy adult males. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Each subject underwent one bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to collect BAL fluid (BALF). Fifteen subjects were assigned to one of three collection timepoints (1, 2 or 4?h from start of infusion). Five additional subjects were assigned to a collection timepoint at 6?h, which was added based on concentration data between 1 and 4?h predicting measurable BALF cefiderocol concentrations at 6?h. RESULTS:Cefiderocol concentrations in plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and alveolar macrophages (AMs) were calculated for each subject. The ELF concentration of cefiderocol was 13.8, 6.69, 2.78 and 1.38?mg/L at 1, 2, 4 and 6?h after single intravenous dosing, respectively. Over 6?h, geometric mean concentration ratios ranged from 0.0927 to 0.116 for ELF to total plasma and from 0.00496 to 0.104 for AMs to total plasma. AUC ratios of ELF and AMs to plasma were 0.101 and 0.0177 based on total drug in plasma, respectively, and 0.239 and 0.0419 based on free drug in plasma, respectively. There were no major drug-related adverse events. CONCLUSIONS:Results of this study indicate that cefiderocol penetrates into ELF, and ELF and plasma concentrations appear to be parallel.

Project description:Alalevonadifloxacin (WCK 2349) is a novel l-alanine ester prodrug of levonadifloxacin that is being developed as an oral fluoroquinolone antibiotic. The primary objective of this study was to determine and compare plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophage (AM) concentrations of levonadifloxacin following oral administration of alalevonadifloxacin to healthy adult subjects. Levonadifloxacin concentrations in plasma, ELF, and AM samples from 30 healthy subjects were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) following oral dosing of alalevonadifloxacin (1,000 mg twice daily for 5 days). Six subjects were assigned to each bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid sampling time, i.e., 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 h after the ninth oral dose. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined from serial total plasma concentrations collected over a 12-h interval following the first and ninth oral doses. Penetration ratios were calculated from the areas under the concentration-time curves from 0 to 12 h (AUC0-12) for plasma, ELF, and AM by using mean (and median) concentrations at each BAL sampling time. Unbound plasma concentrations (∼85% plasma protein binding) were used to determine site-to-plasma penetration ratios. Plasma PK parameter values for levonadifloxacin were similar after the first and ninth doses. The respective AUC0-12 values based on mean ELF and AM concentrations were 172.6 and 35.3 mg · h/liter, respectively. The penetration ratios for ELF and AM levonadifloxacin concentrations to unbound plasma levonadifloxacin concentrations were 7.66 and 1.58, respectively. Similar penetration ratios were observed with median concentrations. The observed plasma, ELF, and AM concentrations of levonadifloxacin support further studies of alalevonadifloxacin for treatment of lower respiratory tract bacterial infections caused by susceptible pathogens. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02253342.).

Project description:Background Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel siderophore-cephalosporin, effective against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. As it has a siderophore side chain, it can utilize iron acquisition systems for penetration of the bacterial outer membrane. We aimed to elucidate the role of siderophores and iron uptake receptors in defining Klebsiella pneumoniae susceptibility to CFDC. Methods Initially, 103 K. pneumoniae strains were characterized for susceptibility to different antibiotics including CFDC. CFDC minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined in iron-depleted and iron-enriched conditions. Iron uptake genes including siderophores, their receptors, ferric citrate (fecA) and iron uptake (kfu) receptors were detected by PCR in all the strains. For 10 selected strains, gene expression was tested in iron-depleted media with or without CFDC treatment and compared to expression in iron-enriched conditions. Results CFDC exhibited 96.1% susceptibility, being superior to all the other antibiotics (MIC50: 0.5 and MIC90: 4 μg/ml). Only three strains (2.9%) were intermediately susceptible and a pandrug resistant strain (0.97%) was resistant to CFDC (MIC: 8 and 256 μg/ml, respectively). The presence of kfu and fecA had a significant impact on CFDC MIC, especially when co-produced, and if coupled with yersiniabactin receptor (fyuA). CFDC MICs were negatively correlated with enterobactin receptor (fepA) expression and positively correlated with expression of kfu and fecA. Thus, fepA was associated with increased susceptibility to CFDC, while kfu and fecA were associated with reduced susceptibility to CFDC. CFDC MICs increased significantly in iron-enriched media, with reduced expression of siderophore receptors, hence, causing less drug uptake. Conclusion Iron acquisition systems have a significant impact on CFDC activity, and their altered expression is a factor leading to reduced susceptibility. Iron concentration is also a major player affecting CFDC susceptibility; therefore, it is essential to explore possible ways to improve the drug activity to facilitate its use to treat infections in iron-rich sites.

Project description:The nafithromycin concentrations in the plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophages (AM) of 37 healthy adult subjects were measured following repeated dosing of oral nafithromycin at 800 mg once daily for 3 days. The values of noncompartmental pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined from serial plasma samples collected over a 24-h interval following the first and third oral doses. Each subject underwent one standardized bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, or 48 h after the third dose of nafithromycin. The mean ± standard deviation values of the plasma PK parameters after the first and third doses included maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) of 1.02 ± 0.31 ?g/ml and 1.39 ± 0.36 ?g/ml, respectively; times to Cmax of 3.97 ± 1.30 h and 3.69 ± 1.28 h, respectively; clearances of 67.3 ± 21.3 liters/h and 52.4 ± 18.5 liters/h, respectively, and elimination half-lives of 7.7 ± 1.1 h and 9.1 ± 1.7 h, respectively. The values of the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to 24 h postdosing (AUC0-24) for nafithromycin based on the mean or median total plasma concentrations at BAL fluid sampling times were 16.2 ?g · h/ml. For ELF, the respective AUC0-24 values based on the mean and median concentrations were 224.1 and 176.3 ?g · h/ml, whereas for AM, the respective AUC0-24 values were 8,538 and 5,894 ?g · h/ml. Penetration ratios based on ELF and total plasma AUC0-24 values based on the mean and median concentrations were 13.8 and 10.9, respectively, whereas the ratios of the AM to total plasma concentrations based on the mean and median concentrations were 527 and 364, respectively. The sustained ELF and AM concentrations for 48 h after the third dose suggest that nafithromycin has the potential to be a useful agent for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections.

Project description:Abstract Background Cefiderocol (CFDC) is the first siderophore cephalosporin approved (US and EU) for a broad range of infections caused by Gram-negative (GN) bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (ENT) and non-fermenters (NFs). Bacteremia is a serious manifestation of GN infection and understanding how well an antibiotic works to clear the bacteremia is an important part of drug evaluation. Methods All completed clinical studies for CFDC development were used to identify patients with GN bacteremia. Information collected included the primary infection site, species identification and antibiotic susceptibility, post randomization blood cultures and clinical and bacteremia outcome. In patients with missing data (blood cultures) clinical response of cure was used to impute microbiological eradication. Indeterminate responses resulted from a combination of missing data and clinical failure, including death prior to test of cure (TOC). Results Three clinical studies randomized 900 patients (CFDC 552; comparators 348) of whom 84 (CFDC 52; comparators 32) had GN bacteremia at baseline (Table). Bacteremia rate by study was CREDIBLE-CR 25.3%, APEKS-cUTI 6.2%, APEKS-NP 6.0%. Escherichia coli (29), Klebsiella pneumoniae (23) and Acinetobacter spp (21) were most frequent species. Sources included urinary tract (31), lung (22), unknown (10), IV line (8), intraabdominal (6), or other (7). Persistence of bacteremia at TOC was seen in 2/52 (3.8%) CFDC and 2/32 (6.2%) control patients (Table), usually due to lack of source control. Clinical outcomes varied by study and infection source and were often confounded (indeterminate response). Eradication in patients with ENT at TOC was determined for 27/39 (69%) for CFDC and 16/23 (70%) for controls, and for 9/16 (56%) for CFDC and 10/11 (91%) for controls in patients with NFs, respectively. Table. Clinical and bacteremia microbiological outcomes per patient at TOC. Conclusion Post-treatment negative blood cultures were inconsistently collected, especially in APEKS-NP and -cUTI, however, negative blood cultures on therapy without recurrence was seen in 96% of CFDC patients with sufficient information. A dedicated clinical trial in GN bacteremia (GAME CHANGER; NCT03869437) is ongoing and will better delineate microbiological outcomes.
