ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Posaconazole is a pharmacotherapeutic pillar for prophylaxis and treatment of invasive fungal diseases. Dose individualization is of utmost importance as achieving adequate antifungal exposure is associated with improved outcome. This study aimed to select and evaluate a model-informed precision dosing strategy for posaconazole.METHODS:
Available population pharmacokinetic models for posaconazole administered as a solid oral tablet were extracted from the literature and evaluated using data from a previously published prospective study combined with data collected during routine clinical practice. External evaluation and selection of the most accurate and precise model was based on graphical goodness-of-fit and predictive performance. Measures for bias and imprecision included mean percentage error (MPE) and normalized relative root mean squared error (NRMSE), respectively. Subsequently, the best-performing model was evaluated for its a posteriori fit-for-purpose and its suitability in a limited sampling strategy.RESULTS:
Seven posaconazole models were evaluated using 764 posaconazole plasma concentrations from 143 patients. Multiple models showed adequate predictive performance illustrated by acceptable goodness-of-fit and MPE and NRMSE below ± 10% and ± 25%, respectively. In the fit-for-purpose analysis, the selected model showed adequate a posteriori predictive performance. Bias and imprecision were lowest in the presence of two prior measurements. Additionally, this model showed to be useful in a limited sampling strategy as it adequately predicted total posaconazole exposure from one (non-)trough concentration.CONCLUSION:
We validated an MIPD strategy for posaconazole for its fit-for-purpose. Thereby, this study is an important first step towards MIPD-supported posaconazole dosage optimization with the goal to improve antifungal treatment in clinical practice.
