Population Pharmacokinetics and Limited Sampling Strategy for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Polymyxin B in Chinese Patients With Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections.

ABSTRACT: Polymyxin B is used as a last therapeutic option for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model and limited sampling strategy, a method to estimate the area under the concentration curve (AUC) by using a limited number of samples, to assist therapeutic drug monitoring of polymyxin B in Chinese patients. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using Phoenix^® NLME with data obtained from 46 adult patients at steady state. Various demographic variables were investigated as potential covariates for population pharmacokinetic modeling. The limited sampling strategies based on the Bayesian approach and multiple linear regression were validated using the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. As a result, the data was described by a two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model. Through the modeling, creatinine clearance was found to be a statistically significant covariate influencing polymyxin B clearance. The limited sampling strategies showed the two-point model (C_0h and C_2h) could predict polymyxin B exposure with good linear relativity (r² > 0.98), and the four-point model (C_1h, C1_.5h, C_4h, and C_8h) performed best in predicting polymyxin B AUC (r² > 0.99). In conclusion, this study successfully developed a population pharmacokinetic model and limited sampling strategies that could be applied in clinical practice to assist in therapeutic drug monitoring of polymyxin B in Chinese patients.

Project description:Objective: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) has brought great challenges to clinical anti-infection treatment around the world. Polymyxins are often considered as the last line of defense in the treatment of CR-GNB infections. In this study, we explored the microbiological efficacy of Polymyxin B (PMB) on different CR-GNB infections as well as the factors influencing microbiological efficacy. Methods: CR-GNB infected patients with PMB-based regimens were enrolled. Clinical and microbiological data were collected from the medical electronic record system of the Second Xiangya hospital. The efficacy of PMB on different CR-GNB was evaluated by the clearance rate at 7-days and within the course of treatment, as well as the 30-day mortality rate. Results: A total of 294 CR-GNB infected patients were enrolled: 154 CR-Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), 55 CR-Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), and 85 CR-Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA). The CRAB group had the highest 7-day bacterial clearance rate [(CRAB: 39.0%) vs. (CRKP: 29.4%) vs. (CRPA: 14.5%), P = 0.003] and total bacterial clearance rate [(CRAB: 49.0%) vs. (CRKP: 39.8%) vs. (CRPA: 18.2%), P < 0.001] among the three groups, while the bacterial clearance rate of the CRPA group was the lowest. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the differences among the three groups were multiple CR-GNB infections (P = 0.004), respiratory infections (P = 0.001), PMB resistance (P < 0.001), and the combination of tigecycline (P < 0.001). Binary logistic regression showed that multiple CR-GNB infection [(7-day bacterial clearance: P = 0.004) & (total bacterial clearance: P = 0.011)] and bacterial species [(7-day bacterial clearance: P < 0.001) & (total bacterial clearance: P < 0.001)] were independent risk factors for microbiological efficacy. Conclusion: PMB exhibited differential microbiological efficacy on different types of CR-GNB infections; it had the best effect on CRAB, followed by CRKP and CRPA. Multiple CR-GNB infections and bacterial species were independent risk factors for microbiological efficacy.
