ABSTRACT This Phase 1 trial described the intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics and safety profile of IV fosfomycin in healthy participants . Fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic mainly used to treat urinary tract infections, is being considered for treatment more complex conditions, including lung due emergence multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms. Despite its potential, intravenous (IV) fosfomycin, particularly penetration into lower respiratory tract, are unknown. To address this gap, we...

Objectives: Piperacillin, a β-lactam antibiotic, and tazobactam, β-lactamase inhibitor, combine to offer broad antibacterial coverage with low toxicity. This combination is first-line treatment for severe infections in critically ill patients. Given the significant pharmacokinetic (PK) variability caused by complex pathophysiological changes patients, identifying effective dosing regimens of piperacillin-tazobactam this special population imperative [1]. To address clinical need, study aims...

Objective: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat, especially with pathogens like the ESKAPE group, known for causing severe infections, including pneumonia, lower respiratory tract infection (1). Fosfomycin has been reported to treat such kind of resistant (2) and is rapidly penetrate lungs (3). Due these facts, NIH conducted phase 1 clinical study on fosfomycin (ZTI-01). Thirty healthy participants were given 6 g dose every 8 hours via IV infusion. Blood...

Scant pharmacokinetic (PK) data are available on ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and aztreonam (ATM) in combination, it is unknown if CZA-ATM exacerbates alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate (AST) elevations relative to ATM alone. This phase 1 study sought describe the PK of assess associations between exposures ALT/AST elevations.

In the present study, population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was performed based on meropenem data from a prospective study conducted in 114 critically ill patients with wide range of renal functions and various disease conditions. The final model one-compartment linear elimination, creatinine clearance continuous replacement therapy affecting clearance, total bodyweight impacting volume distribution. Our is valuable addition to existing PK models, it could be particularly useful during...

Zoliflodacin is a novel spiropyrimidinetrione antibiotic being developed as single oral dose treatment to address the growing global threat of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. To evaluate cardiac safety zoliflodacin, thorough QT/QTc (TQT) study was performed in healthy subjects. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period crossover study, 72 subjects fasted state received zoliflodacin at 2 g (therapeutic), 4 (supratherapeutic), placebo, and moxifloxacin 400 mg positive comparator....

Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) experience recurrent bacterial pulmonary exacerbations. Management of these infections is increasingly challenging due to decreased antimicrobial susceptibility β-lactam antibiotics. The pharmacokinetics (PK) agents are inadequately characterized in patients CF. This study enrolled 155 pediatric and adult participants CF who were receiving the following antibiotics: cefepime (n = 82), meropenem 42), or piperacillin-tazobactam 31). Opportunistic blood...

Abstract Determining an effective dosing regimen for piperacillin–tazobactam in critically ill patients is challenging due to substantial pharmacokinetic variability caused by complex pathophysiological changes. To address this need, a prospective clinical study was conducted, which enrolled 112 and employed opportunistic sampling strategy. Population modeling simulation were performed characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) probability of target attainment (PTA) under various regimens. Both...
