2
Why to optimize dosage regimen for antibiotics
  • To optimize efficacy
  • Reduce the emergence and selection of resistance

3
Dosage regimen and antibioresistance
  • The design of appropriate dosage regimens may be
    the single most important contribution of
    clinical pharmacology to the resistance problem
  • Schentag, Annal. Pharm. 1996
  • Little attention has been focused on delineating
    the correct drug dose to suppress the
    amplification of less susceptible mutant
    bacterial sub-populations
  • Drusano et al (2005)

4
Selecting a dosage regimen for a particular
animal or group of animals
Individual animal (or herd) issues Probability
of cure without side effects
Public health issues Probability for avoiding
enriching a resistant bacterial subpopulation
The prescribing veterinarian is the steward of a
valuable resource and must consider both
individual health issues as well as public health
ones Possible conflict of interest between the
two goals
5
Why to optimize dosage regimen for antibiotics
  • To optimize efficacy
  • Reduce the emergence and selection of resistance
  • Target pathogen efficacy issue
  • Non target pathogen human safety issue
  • Zoonotic bacteria (food borne pathogens)
  • Commensal flora (resistance gene reservoir)

  • Fluoroquinolone-resistance
  • 3rd gen. Cephalosporin-resistance
  • Campylobacter
  • Fluoroquinolone-resistance
  • Macrolide-resistance

10
Dosage regimen and resistanceEpidemiological
evidences
11
Dosage regimen and prevention of resistance
  • Many factors (e.g. broad vs. narrow spectrum)
    can contribute to the development of bacteria
    resistance
  • the most important risk factor is repeated
    exposure to inappropriate antibiotic
    concentrations (exposure)
  • dosage regimen should minimize the likelihood of
    exposing pathogens to sublethal drug levels

12
Drug factors influencing resistance
  • Regimen
  • Route of administration, dose, interval of
    administration, duration of treatment

16
How to determine a dosage regimen that is both
efficacious and that minimizes the risk to
promote resistance
17
How to find and confirm a dose (dosage regimen)
  • Dose titration
  • Animal infectious model
  • Clinical trial
  • PK/PD

18
The dose-titration
19
The dose-titration experimental infectious model
  • Severe
  • not representative of the real world
  • Prophylaxis vs. metaphylaxis vs. curative
  • power of the design generally low for large
    species
  • influence of the endpoints

How to find and confirm a dose (dosage regimen)
  • Dose titration
  • Animal infectious model
  • Clinical trial
  • PK/PD

21
Bacteriological vs clinical successthe
pollyanna phenomenon
22
The Pollyanna phenomenon
  • If efficacy is measured by symptomatic response,
    drugs with excellent antibacterial activity will
    appear less efficacious than they really are and
    drugs with poor antibacterial activity will
    appear more efficacious than they really are.
  • The clinical efficacy does not always indicate
    bacteriological efficacy making it difficult to
    distinguish between antimicrobials on clinical
    outcomes only

26
The Pollyanna phenomenon
  • The clinical efficacy does not always indicate
    bacteriological efficacy and a good clinical
    efficacy is not enough to validate an appropriate
    dosage regimen

27
The role of antibiotics is to eradicate the
causative organisms from the site of infection
Jacobs. Istambul, 2001
28
How to find and confirm a dose (dosage regimen)
  • Dose titration
  • Animal infectious model
  • Clinical trial
  • PK/PD

29
The main goal of a PK/PD trial in veterinary
pharmacology
  • To be an alternative to dose-titration studies to
    discover an optimal dosage regimen

Why plasma concentrationThe site of infection
Update 22 novembre 2009
41
  • Only the free (non-bound) fraction
    (concentration) of the drug can interact with
    bacterial receptors
  • Only the concentration of free drug that is of
    concern for its PK/PD relationship

42
  • MIC is a reasonable approximate of the
    concentration of free drug needed at the site of
    infection

43
  • Most infections of interest are located
    extra-cellularly and direct comparisons to total
    tissue concentration with PD parameters are
    meaningless

Cars, 1991
44
Where are located the pathogens
  • ECF
  • Most bacteria of clinical interest
  • - respiratory infection
  • - wound infection
  • - digestive tract inf.
  • Cell
  • (in phagocytic cell most often)
  • Legionnella spp
  • mycoplasma (some)
  • chlamydiae
  • Brucella
  • Cryptosporidiosis
  • Listeria monocytogene
  • Salmonella
  • Mycobacteria
  • Meningococci
  • Rhodococcus equi

45
  • When there is no barrier to penetration, the
    level of free drug in serum is an adequate
    surrogate marker for biophase concentration

    to obtain bacteriological cure in 80 of patients

52
PK/PD parameters ?-lactams
  • Time above MIC is the important parameter
    determining efficacy of the ?-lactams
  • TgtMIC required for static dose vary from 25-40
    of dosing interval for penicillins and
    cephalosporins.
  • Free drug levels of penicillins and
    cephalosporins need to exceed the MIC for 40-50
    of the dosing interval to produce maximum survival

Modern interests in pharmacodynamics
  • Establish the PK/PD target required for effective
    antimicrobial therapy
  • Identify which PK/PD parameter (TgtMIC, AUC/MIC,
    peak/MIC) best predicts in vivo antimicrobial
    activity
  • Determine the magnitude of the PK/PD parameter
    required for in vivo efficacy (static effect, 1
    or 2 log kill)
  • Define resistance for those situations where one
    cannot attain the target required for efficacy

Optimisation of Meropenem minimum
concentration/MIC ratio to suppress in vitro
resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosaresults
  • Resistance emerged when
  • (a) TgtMIC 84
  • (b) TgtMIC 100 and Cmin/MIC 1.7
  • Resistance avoidance when
  • (a) TgtMIC 100 and Cmin/MIC 6.0
  • or (b) TgtMIC 100 and Cmin/MIC 1.7 plus
    tobramycin

78
Optimisation of Meropenem minimum
concentration/MIC ratio to suppress in vitro
resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosaconclusions
  • Breakpoint to prevent resistance different of
    those selected for clinical efficacy
  • Because of the ceiling effect for TgtMIC this
    variable may not be satisfactory when the
    breakpoint exceeds 100
  • Cmin/MIC of Meropenem can be optimized to
    suppress the emergence of non-plasmid-mediated P
    aeruginosa resistance
  • Meropenem exposure necessary to avoid resistance
    may not be achievable with conventional doses
  • NOTE The experimental conditions represent a
    very conservative situation in a clinical setting
    (neutropenia and high bacterial burden)

79
Surrogate indices and emergence of resistance
Ceftizoxime in vivo
  • In vivo murine study using mixed infection model
    related mutation frequency to TgtMIC (as
    percentage of dosing interval) for ceftizoxime
  • No resistance when TgtMIC was lt40 or 100
  • Mutation frequency very low when TgtMIC ? 87
  • Peak mutation frequency for TgtMIC 70
  • For optimal efficacy the usual value quoted is
    TgtMIC 40-60

Stearne et al (2002)
80
Predictive value of PK/PD indices for emergence
of resistance time dependent antibiotic
  • TgtMIC should be 40-60 of the dosing interval for
    clinical efficacy
  • BUT
  • Plasma concentrations should be 3-4 times the MIC
    to optimally prevent resistance

81

The MPC hypothesis for 4 Quinolones against S
aureus
  • As a test of the window idea Firsov and Zinner
    carried out a pharmacodynamic study in which
    moxifloxacin concentration was varied so that it
    was either above, within, or below the selection
    window throughout treatment using an in vitro
    model
  • The dynamic model contained Staphylococcus
    aureus, and at the times indicated by the arrows
    moxifloxacin was added and samples were taken for
    analysis.
  • Determination of MIC showed that resistant
    mutants were enriched only when the moxifloxacin
    concentration was inside the selection window for
    at least 20 of the time.

The MPC hypothesis for 4 Quinolones against S
aureusCONCLUSIONS
  • Resistant mutants selectivity enriched when
    antibiotic concentrations fall within MSW
  • MIC72/MIC0 peak at AUC24/MIC of 43
  • Only moxifloxacin may protect against resistance
    at normal clinical doses

92
Predictive value of PK/PD indices for emergence
of resistance concentration dependent antibiotic
  • More clearly established than for time dependent
    antibiotics
  • For quinolones, the development of resistance is
    mostly attributable to the primary resistance
    pathway (mutation)
  • Concepts of selection window and AUIC are
    convergent

93
Conditions for counter selective dosing to avoid
emergence of resistance
  • The total organism burden substantially exceeds
    the inverse of the mutational frequency to
    resistance
  • There is a high probability of a resistant clone
    being present at baseline
  • The step size of change in MIC of the mutated
    population is relatively small (lt10-fold)
  • Appropriate dosing then able to suppress the
    parent/sensitive population and also suffices to
    inhibit the mutant sub-population

Cmax/MIC and resistance

  • Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae,

  • Cmax 3 MIC
  • gt99 reduction of initial inoculous
  • regrowth at 24h unless Cmax/MIC gt8
  • if regrowth, MIC for the regrowing bacteria was
    4-8 fold that of parent strain
  • Conclusion there was selection of a resistant
    subpopulation
  • Cmax correlates with suppression of emergence of
    resistance of organisms

Traditional Explanation for Enrichment of Mutants
  • Placing MIC near the lower boundary of the
    selection window contradicts traditional medical
    teaching in which resistant mutants are thought
    to be selected primarily when drug concentrations
    are below MIC
  • This distinction is important because traditional
    dosing recommendations to exceed MIC are likely
    to place drug concentrations inside the selection
    window where they will enrich resistant mutant
    subpopulations. While low drug concentrations do
    not enrich resistant mutants, they do allow
    pathogen population expansion consequently, low
    drug doses indirectly foster the generation of
    new mutants that will be enriched by subsequent
    antimicrobial challenge

    preventive concentrations (MPC)
  • fluoroquinolones and M. tuberculosis
  • fluoroquinolones, chloramphenicol,
    aminoglycosides, vancomycin and S. aureus

Strategies for Restricting the Development of
Resistance
107
Strategies for Restricting the Development of
Resistance
  • Three possible strategies for restricting the
    development of antimicrobial resistance.
  • To keep concentrations above the MPC
  • To narrow the selection window.
  • To use combination therapy in which
    pharmacokinetic mismatch is avoided.

What is the concentration needed to prevent
mutation and/or selection of bacteria with
reduced susceptibility?
  • Beta-lactams we do not know but most likely stay
    always above the MIC
  • Aminoglycosides achieve a peak of 8x the MIC at
    least
  • Fluoroquinolones AUC/MIC gt 100 h and peak/MIC gt 8

Population approach to determine a dosage regimen
for antibiotics
112
Why a population approach
Development of resistance is a collective
phenomenon
113
Population dosage regimen (The regulator point
of view)
Population model (info)
To predict the single dosage regimen for most
animals in the population
Empirical antibiotherapy The dose controlling
90 of the overall population whatever the
susceptibility of the bug, the breed, age, sex etc
114
Population dosage regimen flexible dosing
regimens
Population model (info)
Covariates Sex, husbandry, breed...
To predict the best dosage regimen for a subgroup
of animals (breed, age, health status)
  • Targeted antibiotherapy The dose controlling 90
    of the overall population when the susceptibility
    (MIC) of the bug is known
  • Ethopharmacology/pharmacogenetics doses may be
    tailored according to genotypes or any other
    covariates

115
Why Population PK/PD
  • To take into account, explicitly ,variability
    (and uncertainty) when selecting a dosage
    regimen.
  • Variability is not noise

116
Not only the mean but also the dispersion
(variance) around the mean are needed to predict
a population dosage regimen for antibiotics
117
The main goal of population kinetics is to
document sources of variabilities
118
Why a population approach
  • The fact Underexposure in only few animals
    within a herd or a flock may lead to the
    establishment in these animals of a less
    susceptible sub-population of bugs that
    subsequently may transmit resistance horizontally
    to other animals
  • The risk factor inter-animal variability (age,
    breed, sex, health status.) that is not
    documented in conventional preclinical studies.

Development of resistance is a collective
phenomenon
119
Why a population approach
  • The solution population PK/PD investigations and
    Monte-Carlo simulations
  • The ultimate Goal An empirical population
    dosage regimen controlling a given quantile (e.g.
    90) of a population and not an average dosage
    regimen

120
What is Monte Carlo simulations
  • Roulette wheels, dice.. exhibit random behavior
    and may be viewed as a simple random number
    generator

MCs is the term applied to stochastic simulations
that incorporate random variability into a model

Type of questions solved by Monte Carlo
investigations for the prudent use of antibiotics
  • What is the dose of an antibiotic to be
    administrated to a group of cattle to guarantee
    that at least 90 of these cattle will achieve an
    AUC/MIC ratio (the selected PK/PD index) value of
    125 in the framework of an empirical
    antibiotherapy?
  • The so-called target attainment rate (TAR)

129
2 conditions for an optimal dosing regimen
  • Probability of cure POC 0.90
  • Time out of the MSW should be higher than
    e.g.12h/day (50 of the dosing interval) in 90
    of cattle

    pathogens without eradicating it
  • Under those circumstances, mutant strains that
    possess a degree of drug resistance are favored
  • minimize the time that suboptimal drug levels

  • Effect of escalating doses of levafloxacin on
    amplification/suppression of susceptible and

  • Mathematical modelling to predict effect of dose
    and therapy duration on resistance emergence
  • Prediction of drug dose selection to minimise
    resistance emergence in clinical patients using
    Monte Carlo simulations.
  • 108 organisms harbored 50-1,000 spontaneously
    drug resistant mutants

Jumbe et al. (2003) J. Clin. Invest. 112, 275
147
Applications of a mathematical model to prevent
in vivo amplification of antibiotic-resistant
bacterial population during therapy.
  • Maximal amplification of resistant mutants for
    AUC24/MIC 52h
  • No amplification of resistant mutants for
    AUC24/MIC 157h
  • 10,000 subject Monte Carlo simulation indicated a
    target attainment rate of 61 for a 750 mg dose
    of levofloxacin (and predicted attainment rates
    of 25 and 62 for ciprofloxacin doses of 200 mg
    b.i.d. and 400 mg t.i.d.) for patients with
    nosocomial pneumonia

148
The weak link in MCs is Absence of a priori
knowledge on PK PD distribution
  • Population PK are needed to document influence of
    different factors on drug exposure
  • Health vs. disease age sex breed
  • PD MIC distributions
  • Truly representative of real world (prospective
    rather than retrospective sampling)
  • Possibility to use diameters distribution if the
    calibration curve is properly defined

149
Conclusion
150
What is the contribution of the kineticist to the
prudent use of antibiotics
  • To assist the clinicians designing an optimal
    dosage regimen
  • To ensure that the selected antibiotic reach the
    site of infection at an appropriate effective
    concentration and for an adequate duration to
    guarantee a cure (clinical, bacteriological) and
    without favoring antibioresistance

151
  • PK/PD cannot replace confirmatory clinical trials
    of efficacy but allow to arrive more quickly to a
    better dosage regimen recommendation

EMEA 2000
152
CONCLUSIONS
  • In vivo and in vitro studies in recent years have
    addressed the question of dosage to avoid the
    emergence of resistance
  • The approach is quite general and may be applied
    for any new drug to determine the optimal doses
    that minimise emergence of resistance Jumbe et
    al (2003)
  • There is now a need to conduct similar studies
    with veterinary pathogens and drugs used in
    veterinary therapy
