  6. Acute otitis media studies in children

  7. The role of antibacterials is to eradicate the causative organisms from the site of infection Dagan R. Personal communication

  8. Outpatient clinical studies in respiratory tract infections • High rate of spontaneous resolution makes it difficult to show clinical differences between agents • Bacteriologic outcome studies are not often performed due to necessity for invasive procedure (ear, sinus or lung tap) to obtain specimen • Most studies are therefore designed to show “equivalent” clinical outcome between established and new agents • Inadequacies of agents studied are therefore often not apparent Marchant C. et al. J Pediatr 1992; 120:72–77.

  9. Sample sizes required to detect differences between antibacterial drugs for acute otitis mediaComparison of bacteriologic vs clinical outcomes in trials of two drugs (half the patients would be in each arm of a study) Marchant C. et al. J Pediatr 1992; 120:72–77.

  10. Azithromycin in AOM: clinical outcome at end of therapy studies • Four studies using a common comparator were compared1-4 • Study designs differed • two were clinical diagnosis and outcome1,3 • one was bacteriologic diagnosis, clinical outcome2 • one was bacteriologic diagnosis and outcome4 • Patient ages in these studies differed: the first three were 0.5–15 years old (mean 4–6 years), while the fourth was 0.5-4 years (mean 1.3 years) • Sample sized required for studies to be powered to show differences between agents were determined based on calculations published by Marchant et al.5 1McLinn S. et al.

  12. Using pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to predict bacterial efficacy

  13. Evaluating antibacterial efficacy using pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics • Pharmacokinetics (PK) • serum concentration profile • penetration to site of infection • Pharmacodynamics (PD) • susceptibility – MIC (potency) • concentration- vs time-dependent killing • persistent (post-antibiotic) effects (PAE)

  14. Patterns of antibacterial activity PatternPharmacodynamic correlate Time-dependent killing Time above MIC and minimal to moderate (T > MIC) persistent effects Time-dependent killing AUC/MIC ratio and prolonged persistent effects Concentration-dependent AUC/MIC ratio killing and prolonged or persistent effects Peak/MIC ratio

  31. Conclusions: Antibacterial choice for empiric use in acute otitis media • Most clinical studies are too small to show clinical differences between agents • PK/PD parameters correlate with bacteriological and clinical outcome in animal models and in humans, and can be used to select agents with maximum potential for bacterial eradication • Currently available agents vary significantly in achieving PK/PD parameters necessary for bacterial eradication • Few oral agents approved for pediatric use are active against 90% of current US strains of the key otitis media pathogens at approved dosing regimens • Bacteriologic outcome studies in children and animal studies have repeatedly validated these conclusions
