Early Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Optimizes Teicoplanin Use in Febrile Neutropenic Patients with Hematological Malignancies. Adv Ther 2024:10.1007/s12325-024-02884-z. [PMID: 38743241 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-024-02884-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION A target trough concentration (Cmin) of teicoplanin ≥ 15-20 mg/L between the fourth and sixth day has been suggested for severe infections or management of febrile neutropenia (FN). Owing to no reports discussing the impact of early target attainment on treatment outcomes, this study aimed to evaluate the dose-Cmin relationship and clinical outcome and estimate the optimal early target Cmin for FN in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS This single-center, prospective study enrolled patients with hematological malignancies who were treated with teicoplanin either as an empirical antibiotic for FN or as targeted treatment for Gram-positive bacteria. Blood samples were collected on day three (48 h) post-loading doses, day 5 (96 h), and day 8 (when applicable) and determined by ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography-triple quadruple mass spectrometry. A total of 117 samples from 47 patients with FN (27 men, 20 women) were consecutively analyzed. A two-tailed α value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The mean Cmin values at 48 h, 96 h, and on day 8 were 23.4, 21.4, and 27.8 mg/L, respectively. The patients achieving Cmin ≥ 20 mg/L at 48 h had a higher likelihood of treatment success. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves were 0.71 for clinical efficacy and the cutoff value of Cmin at 48 h was 18.85 mg/L (95% confidence interval 0.55-0.87; P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS The Cmin of teicoplanin after completion of loading doses could predict the treatment response, with a target concentration ≥ 18.85 mg/L.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59040758. [PMID: 37109716 PMCID: PMC10145105 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59040758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Teicoplanin (TEIC) is an effective drug for patients with febrile neutropenia (FN); however, it has been reported that these patients may have increased TEIC clearance compared with patients who do not have FN. The purpose of this study was to study therapeutic drug monitoring in patients with FN when the TEIC dosing design was based on the population mean method. Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine FN patients with hematological malignancy were included in the study. To calculate the predicted blood concentration of TEIC, we used the two population pharmacokinetic (population PK) parameters (parameters 1 and 2) reported by Nakayama et al. and parameter 3, which is a modification of the population PK of Nakayama et al. We calculated the mean prediction error (ME), an indicator of prediction bias, and the mean absolute prediction error (MAE), an indicator of accuracy. Furthermore, the percentage of predicted TEIC blood concentration within 25% and 50% of the measured TEIC blood concentration was calculated. Results: The ME values were -0.54, -0.25, and -0.30 and the MAE values were 2.29, 2.19, and 2.22 for parameters 1, 2, and 3, respectively. For all of the three parameters, the ME values were calculated as minus values, and the predicted concentrations tended to be biased toward smaller values relative to the measured concentrations. Patients with serum creatinine (Scr) < 0.6 mg/dL and neutrophil counts < 100/μL had greater ME and MAE values and a smaller percentage of predicted TEIC blood concentration within 25% of measured TEIC blood concentrations compared with other patients. Conclusions: In patients with FN, the accuracy of predicting TEIC blood concentrations was good, with no significant differences between each parameter. However, patients with a Scr < 0.6 mg/dL and a neutrophil count < 100/μL showed slightly inferior prediction accuracy.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of various dosing regimens of vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid and daptomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in neutropenic patients with cancer. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic data to determine cumulative fraction of response (CFRs) in terms of area under the concentration-time curve/minimum inhibition concentration target. Currently clinical standard dosing regimens of vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid and daptomycin were insufficient to provide expected CFRs against MRSA for neutropenic patients with cancer. The high dosing regimens of vancomycin (3500 mg/d), teicoplanin (800 mg/d) and daptomycin (8 mg/kg/d) could provide CFRs of ≥ 80%, showing a higher treatment success. However, the majority of CFRs with linezolid simulated dosing regimens reached < 80% against MRSA. Therefore, a strategy of high dosages of vancomycin, teicoplanin and daptomycin may be needed to attain optimal therapeutic efficacy against MRSA in neutropenic patients with cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Teicoplanin is used to treat serious gram-positive infections. Optimal teicoplanin trough levels are considered to be ≥ 10 μg/mL. Despite its wide use in various clinical settings, data on teicoplanin trough level in pediatric patients are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic drug level monitoring of teicoplanin in Korean pediatric patients, including those with impaired renal function. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in pediatric patients (age ≤ 18 years old) who received teicoplanin from September 2014 to April 2018. The regimen included a loading dose of 10 mg/kg/dose at 12 hours' interval three times in a row, and a maintenance dose of 10 mg/kg/dose commenced at 24 hours of interval after the loading dose, with a maximum of 400 mg/dose, respectively. The first therapeutic drug levels were measured. Distribution and characteristics of trough levels in patients with decreased renal function and those with bacteremia were also assessed. RESULTS A total of 187 trough levels were collected from 143 patients. Hematologic and oncologic diseases were the most common underlying diseases (83.2%, n = 119). One hundred eighty trough levels were first measured, and their median value was 16.2 μg/mL (range, 2.3-100 μg/mL) and the median interval between initial teicoplanin injection and 1st trough level was 96.5 hours (range 47.6-179.3 hours). Lower steady-state levels were observed in younger age group (median, 13.5 vs. 18.0 μg/mL, P = 0.038). Median trough levels were higher in patients with decreased renal functions (P < 0.001). In addition, among eight with gram-positive bacteremia, seven of them had a favorable outcome. CONCLUSION This study provides additive information on trough level monitoring of teicoplanin in children with impaired renal function and treatment effect in patients with gram-positive bacteremia. Careful monitoring for steady state trough levels of teicoplanin is warranted.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Patients who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are usually administered a calcineurin inhibitor. Because vancomycin is associated with an increased incidence of nephrotoxicity, neutropenic patients receiving HSCT are considered a high-risk population for nephrotoxicity with vancomycin. We retrospectively compared the efficacy and safety of vancomycin and teicoplanin in febrile neutropenic patients receiving HSCT. METHODS A single-centre, retrospective cohort study was conducted at the 614-bed Gifu University Hospital in Japan. Patients who received HSCT and were administered vancomycin or teicoplanin by injection for febrile neutropenia from 1 January 2012 to 31 August 2017 were enrolled. Time to attain an effective trough concentration, clinical efficacy and adverse events were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Time to attain an effective trough concentration of over 10 μg/mL tended to be shorter in the teicoplanin group than in the vancomycin group (median 3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.4-3.6 days vs median 6, 95% CI 1.5-10.5 days; hazard ratio [HR] 0.4, 95% CI 0.15-1.06; P = .066). The rate of clinical failure was lower in the teicoplanin group than in the vancomycin group (18.8% vs 53.8%, P = .113). In addition, the overall incidence of nephrotoxicity was significantly lower in the teicoplanin group (0% vs 46.2%, P = .004). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that administration of teicoplanin may lead to early attainment of the effective concentration with a lower rate of clinical failure and incidence of nephrotoxicity compared to vancomycin in febrile neutropenic patients receiving HSCT.

Abstract
This study used high-performance liquid chromatography to measure 202 teicoplanin plasma trough concentrations (Cmin ) in 114 haematological malignancy patients with febrile neutropenia. Patients were divided into two groups according to the mean initial dose (MID) over the first 3 days of treatment: (i) MID = 533.33 mg/day (loading dose group, 400 mg q12h for three doses followed by 400 mg qd, n = 62) and (ii) MID < 533.33 mg/day (unloaded or underloaded group, n = 52). During the first 3 days after treatment, the overall Cmin was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (10.96 ± 5.44 mg/L versus 6.31 ± 3.73 mg/L, mean ± S.D.; p = 0.002), as was the qualifying rate of Cmin > 10 mg/L (54.5% versus 11.1%, p = 0.001), and the probability of Cmin < 5 mg/L was lower in group 1 than in group 2 (13.6% versus 40.7%, p = 0.037). After 3 days, the average Cmin and qualifying rates did not differ significantly between the two groups, and the average Cmin was <10 mg/L in both groups. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that creatinine clearance (p = 0.004) and MID (p = 0.010) could affect Cmin during the first 3 days of treatment and that age (p = 0.022) only could affect Cmin after 3 days. In conclusion, it is necessary to apply loading dose to achieve teicoplanin Cmin > 10 mg/L rapidly and, from a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic perspective, 600 mg is recommended as loading and maintenance dose for these patients when AUC24 /minimum inhibitory concentration > 345.
