Antibiotic dosage regimen based on PK-PD concepts and the possible minimization of resistance ECOLE NATIONALE VETERINAIRE T O U L O U S E PL Toutain UMR 181 Physiopathologie et Toxicologie Expérimentales INRA/ENVT 24th World Buiatric Congress. France. 15. October 2006
Why to optimize dosage regimen for antibiotics • To optimize efficacy • Reduce the emergence and selection of resistance
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)
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
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)

Public Health Concerns :Human pathogenic bacteria spreading from animal reservoirs Current main concerns: Resistance emerging to commonly used empiric therapies for acute GI tract infections • Salmonella • Fluoroquinolone-resistance • 3rd gen. Cephalosporin-resistance • Campylobacter • Fluoroquinolone-resistance • Macrolide-resistance

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

How to determine a dosage regimen that is both efficacious and that minimizes the risk to promote resistance
How to find and confirm a dose (dosage regimen) • Dose titration • Animal infectious model • Clinical trial • PK/PD
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
Bacteriological vs clinical success:the pollyanna phenomenon
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
100% 100% 89% 80% 74% 60% 40% 27% 20% 0% The Pollyanna effect Discrepency between clinical and bacteriological results Otitis media Antibiotic effect Efficacy (%) Clinical success Placebo effect Bacteriological cure Merchant et al. Pediatrics 1992

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
The role of antibiotics is to eradicate the causative organisms from the site of infection Jacobs. Istambul, 2001
How to find and confirm a dose (dosage regimen) • Dose titration • Animal infectious model • Clinical trial • PK/PD
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
Dose titration Dose Response clinical Black box PK/PD PK PD Body pathogen Dose Response Plasma concentration
PK/PD: in vitro In vitro Medium concentration Response MIC Test tube MIC is very variable from pathogen to pathogen and should be acknowledged The idea at the back of the PK/PD indices were to develop surrogates able to predict clinical success by scaling a PK variable by the MIC
Dose titration Dose Response clinical Black box PK/PD PK PD Body pathogen Dose Response A plasma concentration variable scaled by MIC
Dose titration vs. PK/PD : the explicative variable A PK/PD SURROGATE Effect Effect effect AUC/MIC, Dose AUC EXPOSURE (internal dose) DOSE (external dose) Exposure scaled by MIC
The surrogates (predictors) of antibiotic efficacy AUC/MIC, T>MIC, Cmax/MIC
PK/PD predictors of efficacy • Cmax/MIC : aminoglycosides • AUC/MIC : quinolones, tetracyclines, azithromycins, • T>MIC : penicillins, cephalosporins, macrolides, Cmax Cmax/MIC AUC MIC AUIC = Concentrations MIC Time 24h T>CMI
Why these indices are termed PK/PD AUIC # = PK AUC CMI Dose / Clearance CMI50(90) PD Dual dosage regimen adaptation
Relationship between dose and PK/PD predictors of efficacy Breakpoint value e.g. 125 PD Bioavailability PK Free fraction
Why plasma concentrationThe site of infection Update : 12 mars 2014
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
MIC is a reasonable approximate of the concentration of free drug needed at the site of infection
Most infections of interest are located extra-cellularly and direct comparisons to total tissue concentration with PD parameters are meaningless Cars, 1991
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

Efficacy index: clinical validation Bacteriological cure versus time above MIC in otitis media (from Craig and Andes 1996) • Free serum concentration need to exceed the MIC of the pathogen for 40-50% of the dosing interval to obtain bacteriological cure in 80% of patients 100 S. pneumoniae Penicillin cephalosporins 50 Bacteriologic cure (%) H. influenzae Penicillin cephalosporins 0 0 100 50 Time above MIC (%)
PK/PD parameters: -lactams • Time above MIC is the important parameter determining efficacy of the -lactams • T>MIC required for static dose vary from 25-40% of dosing interval for penicillins and cephalosporins. • Free druglevels of penicillins andcephalosporins need to exceed the MIC for 40-50% of the dosing interval to produce maximum survival Graig
Betalactam • Goal: to maximize the duration of exposure over which free drug levels in biophase exceed the MIC • no further significant reduction in bacteria count when concentration exceed 4 MIC
