Abstract
Fosfomycin has been used to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. However, there is insufficient information on dosage adjustment among critically ill patients with renal impairment. This study aims to evaluate the attainment of PK/PD targets for different dosage regimens of CRAB treatment in critically ill patients based on their renal function. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted to assess the probability of achieving time above the minimum inhibitory concentration (T > MIC) of 80% and 100% and to determine the cumulative fraction response (CFR) against institutional MICs. Our results demonstrated that administering fosfomycin 20–24 g/day to individuals with normal renal function (CrCl ≥60 mL/min) achieved the target at a MIC of ≤64 and ≤32 μg/mL during the first 24 h of treatment and at steady state, respectively. Notably, those with renal impairment achieved higher MIC values at a steady state despite dosage reduction. None of the regimens reached the target CFR. Our study suggested that administering fosfomycin at least 20 g/day to those with normal renal function provides sufficient exposure throughout the treatment course when the MIC value is ≤32 μg/mL. Less aggressive dosing regimens are advisable for patients with renal impairment. Additional clinical studies are necessary to verify our suggestions.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Science (CTS), an official journal of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, highlights original translational medicine research that helps bridge laboratory discoveries with the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Translational medicine is a multi-faceted discipline with a focus on translational therapeutics. In a broad sense, translational medicine bridges across the discovery, development, regulation, and utilization spectrum. Research may appear as Full Articles, Brief Reports, Commentaries, Phase Forwards (clinical trials), Reviews, or Tutorials. CTS also includes invited didactic content that covers the connections between clinical pharmacology and translational medicine. Best-in-class methodologies and best practices are also welcomed as Tutorials. These additional features provide context for research articles and facilitate understanding for a wide array of individuals interested in clinical and translational science. CTS welcomes high quality, scientifically sound, original manuscripts focused on clinical pharmacology and translational science, including animal, in vitro, in silico, and clinical studies supporting the breadth of drug discovery, development, regulation and clinical use of both traditional drugs and innovative modalities.
