ABSTRACT

The antibiotic combination trimethoprim (TMP)-sulfamethoxazole (SMX) has a broad spectrum of activity and is used for the treatment of numerous infections, but pediatric pharmacokinetic (PK) data are limited. We previously published population PK (popPK) models of oral TMP-SMX in pediatric patients based on sparse opportunistically collected data (POPS study) (J. Autmizguine, C. Melloni, C. P. Hornik, S. Dallefeld, et al., Antimicrob Agents Chemother 62:e01813-17, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.01813-17). We performed a separate PK study of oral TMP-SMX in infants and children with more-traditional PK sample collection and independently developed new popPK models of TMP-SMX using this external data set. The POPS data set and the external data set were each used to evaluate both popPK models. The external TMP model had a model and error structure identical to those of the POPS TMP model, with typical values for PK parameters within 20%. The external SMX model did not identify the covariates in the POPS SMX model as significant. The external popPK models predicted higher exposures to TMP (median overprediction of 0.13 mg/liter for the POPS data set and 0.061 mg/liter for the external data set) and SMX (median overprediction of 1.7 mg/liter and 0.90 mg/liter) than the POPS TMP (median underprediction of 0.016 mg/liter and 0.39 mg/liter) and SMX (median underprediction of 1.2 mg/liter and 14 mg/liter) models. Nonetheless, both models supported TMP-SMX dose increases in infants and young children for resistant pathogens with a MIC of 1 mg/liter, although the required dose increase based on the external model was lower. (The POPS and external studies have been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT01431326 and NCT02475876, respectively.).

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The study objective was to compare different body size descriptors that best estimate vancomycin Vd and clearance (CL). METHODS: Patients between 3 months and 21 years old who received vancomycin for ≥48 hours from 2003 to 2011 were evaluated in this matched case-control study. Cases had body mass index in the ≥85th percentile; controls were nonobese individuals who were matched by age and baseline serum creatinine (SCr). Using a 1-compartment model with first-order kinetics, Bayesian post hoc individual Vd and CL were estimated. FINDINGS: Analysis included 87 matched pairs with 389 vancomycin serum concentrations. Median ages were 10.0 (interquartile range [IQR], 4.8-15.2) years for cases (overweight and obese children) and 10.2 (IQR, 4.5-14.8) years for controls (normal-weight children). Median weights were 44.0 (IQR, 23.4-78.1) kg for cases and 31.3 (IQR, 16.8-47.1) kg for controls. Mean (SD) for the baseline SCr values were also similar between the groups: 0.51 (0.22) (IQR, 0.34-0.67) mg/dL and 0.48 (0.20) (IQR, 0.30-0.60) mg/dL for the cases and controls, respectively. Actual weight and allometric weight (ie, weight(0.75)) were used in the final model to estimate Vd and CL, respectively. The mean Vd and CL, based on weight, for cases were lower than controls by 0.012 L/kg and 0.014 L/kg/h, respectively. IMPLICATIONS: In obese children, actual weight and allometric weight are reasonable, convenient estimations of body fat to use for estimating vancomycin Vd and CL, respectively. However, these pharmacokinetic differences between obese children and those with normal weights are small and may not likely to be clinically relevant in dose variation.
