Population Pharmacokinetics of Polymyxin B in Obese Patients for Resistant Gram-Negative Infections

Polymyxin B is an effective but potentially nephrotoxic antibiotic that is commonly used to treat resistant Gram-negative infections. As a weight-based dosing drug, obese patients may be at a high risk of nephrotoxicity. However, the pharmacokinetics and dosing recommendations for this population ar...

This study aimed to describe the polymyxin B population pharmacokinetics and to evaluate pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) target attainment for obese patients. This study included 26 patients (body mass index, BMI >30) who received polymyxin B for ≥3 days. The total body weight (TBW) ranged from 75 to 125 kg, and the BMI ranged from 30.04 to 40.35.

As a result, body weight had no significant effect on polymyxin B pharmacokinetics. According to model-based simulation, adjusted body weight (ABW)-based regimens had a high probability of achieving optimal exposure with minimal toxicity risk by comparing TBW and ideal body weight (IBW)-based regimens. The fixed dose of 125 mg or 150 mg q12h had a high toxicity risk. PTA results showed that TBW, IBW, and ABW-based regimens had similar PTA values. Therefore, for obese patients, ABW-based regimens but with a daily dose <250 mg have a high likelihood of achieving an AUCss,24h of 50–100 mg h/L and attaining PK/PD targets with the MIC ≤0.5 mg/L.Peile WangPeile WangQiwen ZhangQiwen ZhangMin FengTongwen SunJing YangJing YangXiaojian ZhangXiaojian ZhangFrontiers Media S.A.articlepolymyxin Bobesitypopulation pharmacokineticsMonte Carlo simulationadjusted body weightTherapeutics.
