Pharmacokinetics of rifampicin in adult TB patients and healthy volunteers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: The objectives of this study were to explore inter-study heterogeneity in the pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally administered rifampicin, to derive summary estimates of rifampicin PK parameters at standard dosages and to compare these with summary estimates for higher dosages.A systematic search was performed for studies of rifampicin PK published in the English language up to May 2017. Data describing the Cmax and AUC were extracted. Meta-analysis provided summary estimates for PK parameter estimates at standard rifampicin dosages. Heterogeneity was assessed by estimation of the I2 statistic and visual inspection of forest plots. Summary AUC estimates at standard and higher dosages were compared graphically and contextualized using preclinical pharmacodynamic (PD) data.Substantial heterogeneity in PK parameters was evident and upheld in meta-regression. Treatment duration had a significant impact on the summary estimates for rifampicin PK parameters, with Cmax 8.98?mg/L (SEM 2.19) after a single dose and 5.79?mg/L (SEM 2.14) at steady-state dosing, and AUC 72.56?mg·h/L (SEM 2.60) and 38.73?mg·h/L (SEM 4.33) after single and steady-state dosing, respectively. Rifampicin dosages of at least 25?mg/kg are required to achieve plasma PK/PD targets defined in preclinical studies.Vast inter-study heterogeneity exists in rifampicin PK parameter estimates. This is not explained by the available modifying variables. The recommended dosage of rifampicin should be increased to improve efficacy. This study provides an important point of reference for understanding rifampicin PK at standard dosages as efforts to explore higher dosing strategies continue in this field.

Project description:Ceftolozane-tazobactam displays potent activity against Gram-negative bacteria that can cause diabetic foot infections (DFI), making it an attractive treatment option when few alternatives exist. The pharmacokinetics and tissue penetration of ceftolozane-tazobactam at 1.5 g every 8 h (q8h) in patients (n = 10) with DFI were compared with those in healthy volunteers (n = 6) using in vivo microdialysis. In the patient participants, the median values of the pharmacokinetic parameters for ceftolozane in total plasma were as follows: maximum concentration (Cmax), 55.2 ?g/ml (range, 40.9 to 169.3 ?g/ml); half-life (t1/2), 3.5 h (range, 2.3 to 4.7 h); and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to 8 h (AUC0-8), 191.6 ?g · h/ml (range, 147.1 to 286.6 ?g · h/ml). The median AUC for tissue (AUCtissue; where AUCtissue was the AUC0-8 for tissue for ceftolozane)/AUC for plasma for each antibiotic corrected by the fraction of free drug (fAUCplasma) was 0.75 (range, 0.35 to 1.00), resulting in a mean free time above 4 ?g/ml (the Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility breakpoint) in tissue of 99.8% (range, 87.5 to 100%). In the patient participants, the median values of the pharmacokinetic parameters for tazobactam in total plasma were as follows: Cmax, 14.2 ?g/ml (range, 7.6 to 64.2 ?g/ml); t1/2, 2.0 h (range, 0.7 to 2.4 h); and AUC0-8, 27.1 ?g · h/ml (range, 15.0 to 70.0 ?g · h/ml). The AUCtissue (where AUCtissue was the AUC from time zero to the time of the last measureable concentration in tissue for tazobactam)/fAUCplasma for tazobactam was 1.18 (range, 0.54 to 1.44). In the healthy volunteers, the median values of the pharmacokinetic parameters for ceftolozane in total plasma were as follows: Cmax, 91.5 ?g/ml (range, 65.7 to 110.7 ?g/ml); t1/2, 1.9 h (range, 1.6 to 2.1 h); and AUC0-8, 191.3 ?g · h/ml (range, 118.1 to 274.3 ?g · h/ml). The median AUCtissue/fAUCplasma was 0.87 (range, 0.54 to 2.20), resulting in a mean free time above 4 ?g/ml in tissue of 93.8% (range, 87.5 to 100%). In the healthy volunteers, the median values of the pharmacokinetic parameters for tazobactam in total plasma were as follows: Cmax, 17.5 ?g/ml (range, 15.4 to 27.3 ?g/ml); t1/2, 0.7 h (range, 0.6 to 0.8 h); and AUC0-8, 22.2 ?g · h/ml (range, 19.2 to 36.4 ?g · h/ml). The AUCtissue/fAUCplasma for tazobactam was 0.85 (range, 0.63 to 2.10). Both ceftolozane and tazobactam penetrated into subcutaneous tissue with exposures similar to those of free drug in plasma in both patients with DFI and healthy volunteers. These data suggest that ceftolozane-tazobactam at 1.5 g q8h can achieve the optimal exposure with activity against susceptible Gram-negative pathogens in the tissue of patients with DFI.

Project description:Background: Meropenem is being investigated for repurposing as an anti-tuberculosis drug. This study aimed to develop a meropenem population pharmacokinetics model in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and identify covariates explaining inter-individual variability. Methods: Patients were randomized to one of four treatment groups: meropenem 2 g three times daily plus oral rifampicin 20 mg/kg once daily, meropenem 2 g three times daily, meropenem 1 g three times daily, and meropenem 3 g once daily. Meropenem was administered by intravenous infusion over 0.5-1 h. All patients also received oral amoxicillin/clavulanate together with each meropenem dose, and treatments continued daily for 14 days. Intensive plasma pharmacokinetics sampling over 8 h was conducted on the 14th day of the study. Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling was used for data analysis. The best model was chosen based on likelihood metrics, goodness-of-fit plots, and parsimony. Covariates were tested stepwise. Results: A total of 404 concentration measurements from 49 patients were included in the analysis. A two-compartment model parameterized with clearance (CL), inter-compartmental clearance (Q), and central (V1) and peripheral (V2) volumes of distribution fitted the data well. Typical values of CL, Q, V1, and V2 were 11.8 L/h, 3.26 L/h, 14.2 L, and 3.12 L, respectively. The relative standard errors of the parameter estimates ranged from 3.8 to 35.4%. The covariate relations included in the final model were creatinine clearance on CL and allometric scaling with body weight on all disposition parameters. An effect of age on CL as previously reported could not be identified. Conclusion: A two-compartment model described meropenem population pharmacokinetics in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis well. Covariates found to improve model fit were creatinine clearance and body weight but not rifampicin treatment. The final model will be used for an integrated pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics analysis linking meropenem exposure to early bactericidal activity.

Project description:Finafloxacin is a novel fluoroquinolone exhibiting enhanced activity under acidic conditions and a broad-spectrum antibacterial profile. The present study assessed the pharmacokinetic properties and the safety and tolerability of finafloxacin following intravenous infusions. In this mixed-parallel-group, crossover study, healthy male and female volunteers received single ascending doses (18 volunteers, 200 to 1,000 mg) or multiple ascending doses (40 volunteers, 600 to 1,000 mg) of finafloxacin or placebo. Plasma and urine samples were collected by a dense sampling scheme to determine the pharmacokinetics of finafloxacin using a noncompartmental approach. Standard safety and tolerability data were documented. Finafloxacin had a volume of distribution of 90 to 127 liters (range) at steady state and 446 to 550 liters at pseudoequilibrium, indicating the elimination of a large fraction before pseudoequilibrium was reached. Areas under the concentration-time curves and maximum plasma concentrations (geometric means) increased slightly more than proportionally (6.73 to 45.9 ?g · h/ml and 2.56 to 20.2 ?g/ml, respectively), the terminal elimination half-life increased (10.6 to 17.1 h), and the urinary recovery decreased (44.2% to 31.7%) with increasing finafloxacin doses (single doses of 200 to 1,000 mg). The pharmacokinetic profiles suggested multiphasic elimination by both glomerular filtration and saturable tubular secretion. The values of the parameters were similar for single and multiple administrations. The coefficient of variation for the between-subject variability of exposure ranged from 10% (?600 mg) to 38% (>600 mg). Adverse events were mild and nonspecific, with no dependence of adverse events on dose or treatment (including placebo) being detected. Despite a relatively high interindividual variability at higher doses, the level of exposure following intravenous administration of finafloxacin appears to be predictable. Individual elimination processes should be evaluated in more detail. Finafloxacin exhibited a favorable safety and tolerability profile.
