FDA Draft-Guidance for Industry (1997) Providing Clinical Evidence of Effectiveness for Human Drug and Biological Products New Dosage Form of a Previously Studied Drug In some cases, modified release dosage forms may be approved on the basis of pharmacokinetic data linking the new dosage form from a previously studied immediate-release dosage form. Because the pharmacokinetic patterns of controlled-release and immediate release dosage forms are not identical, it is generally important to have some understanding of the relationship of blood concentration to response to extrapolate to the new dosage form.

Conclusion Microdialysis has opened the door to get better information about the drug concentrations at the site of action. This, in combination with appropriate PK/PD-models, will allow for better dosing decisions than traditional approaches based on blood concentrations and MIC.

Questions • What are some of the limitations of MICs? • What is the difference between AUC/MIC vs. AUIC? • Should one use total or unbound concentrations to calculate PK/PD-indices? • Why do peak concentrations correlate with aminoglycoside activity but not with beta-lactam activity? • Is AUC/MIC a reasonable PK/PD-index for a macrolide?
