Objectives • To describe population pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone in a large group of critically ill patients suffering from sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock • To investigate the influence of several clinical and biological covariates on pharmacokinetic parameters • To simulate various dosing regimen to evaluate whether some of them could produce concentrations below the MIC of common ICU pathogens. • The model did not supported BOV on any parameter. • The other PK parameters were V2 (7.35 L; rse=10.2%; CV=65%) and intercompartment clearance (5.28 h-1; fixed). Residual variability modelled as proportional was 24%. • The VPCs obtained with the final model are shown below: Patients and Methods • Prospective population pharmacokinetic study in patients receiving ceftriaxone (1 or 2 g once a day). • MIC of bacterial isolates to ceftriaxone was determined by the E-test method • A pharmacokinetic (PK) profile was obtained on two occasions for each patient. • First PK on the second day of ceftriaxone therapy • Second PK after the resolution of sepsis. • Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using NONMEM VI. • Fourteen potential covariates were evaluated, including demographic, biological and clinical characteristics, and co-administered drugs. • Between Occasion Variability (BOV) was analyzed from PK1 to PK2. • Precision and stability of parameter estimates were evaluated by non-parametric bootstrap procedure. • Simulations were made at various doses for hypothetical patients having different covariate values and concentrations were compared to MICs of common ICU pathogens. • Simulations performed for 2 different ceftriaxone doses and 4 different renal functions indicated that most patients will achieve effective concentrations, even with a dose of 1 g. CLcr = 180 ml/mn CLcr = 30 ml/mn Résults Conclusion • We included 54 patients: 19 suffered from sepsis, 9 from severe sepsis and 26 from septic shock. • Eleven patients were hemofiltrated or haemodyalized. For the others, creatinine clearance (CLcr) ranged 5.5 to 214 ml/min. Renal function improved from PK1 to PK2 with median (range) values of 63 (5.5 - 195) and 70 (25.7 - 214) mL/min, respectively. • A 2-compartment pharmacokinetic model was selected We found a wide inter-patient but weak intrapatient variability of ceftriaxone PK. The only parameter that influenced ceftriaxone pharmacokinetics was CLcr, but only when CLcr was > 60 ml/min, suggesting participation of non-renal phenomenon. Simulations indicated that the risk of being under 4 MIC for the entire dosing interval is very low and exists only in patient with high glomerular filtration rate (CLcr > 120 ml/min).
