RESUMO
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVES: Some previous studies have indicated that serum cystatin C (Cys C) is a better marker than serum creatinine (SCR) for assessing the glomerular filtering rate (GFR). However, in almost all population pharmacokinetic models of vancomycin, the GFR is usually estimated from SCR. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the GFR estimated from SCR (sGFR) with the GFR estimated from Cys C (cGFR) and investigate which one can describe the characteristics of vancomycin population pharmacokinetics better in Chinese neurosurgical adult patients. METHODS: Patients from the Neurosurgery Department aged ≥18 years were enrolled retrospectively. Among these patients, the data from 222 patients were used to establish two population pharmacokinetic models based on sGFR and cGFR, separately. The data from another 95 patients were used for the external validation of these two models. Non-linear mixed-effect modelling (NONMEM) 7.4.3 was used for the population pharmacokinetic analysis. RESULTS: We developed two one-compartment models with first-order absorption based on Cys C and SCR, separately. In the Cys C model, age, body weight and cGFR were significant covariates on the clearance rate (CL) of vancomycin (typical value, 6.4 L/hour). In the SCR model, age and sGFR were significant covariates on the CL (typical value, 6.46 L/hour). The external validation results showed that the predictive performance of the two models was similar. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: In this study, the predictive performance of two models was similar in neurosurgical patients. We did not find a significant improvement in the predictive performance of the model when GFR was estimated from Cys C.

WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVES: Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is characterized by enhanced renal clearance, which leads to insufficient vancomycin exposure and treatment failure. In haematologic malignancy patients, determination of optimal vancomycin dosage is essential because of high stake of life-threatening bacterial infection and increased clearance. The aim of this study was to describe vancomycin pharmacokinetic parameters in haematologic malignancy with augmented renal clearance children and define the appropriate dosing regimen to achieve an AUC0-24h /MIC ≥400. METHODS: Hematologic malignancy with ARC children was enrolled in this retrospective study. The vancomycin PPK model was established by non-linear mixed-effects modelling programme. Goodness-of-fit (GOF) plots, non-parametric bootstrap, normalized prediction distribution error (NPDE) and visual predictive checks (VPCs) were carried out for internal evaluation of the final model. Monte Carlo simulation method was used to stimulate the optimal dosage regimens. RESULTS: Fifty-three patients with 106 samples were included. A one-compartment model with first-order elimination was developed, and the final model was as follows: CL (L/h) = 6.32×ï¼WT/70ï¼0.75 × e0.0467 ; V(L) = 39.6×(WT/70), where WT denotes weight (kg). The internal validation of the model showed a good prediction performance. Monte Carlo simulation results showed that when MIC was 0.5 mg/L or 1 mg/L, the recommended doses to achieve a target of AUC0-24h /MIC ≥400 were 25 to 40 and 50 to 75 mg/kg/d, respectively. With decreasing weight, the recommended dosage to achieve an AUC0-24h /MIC ≥400 increased. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: A one-compartment vancomycin PPK model was established in haematologic malignancy with augmented renal clearance children with weight with allometric scaling as a significant covariate. When MIC was 1 mg/L, current recommended paediatric dosages were insufficient in haematologic malignancy with augmented renal clearance children and should be increased.

BACKGROUND: Most of the current published population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) models are based on serum creatinine, but we often encounter an underestimation of its concentration in our clinical work. Therefore, we established a cystatin C-based model of vancomycin. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to externally verify the PopPK model of vancomycin based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated by serum cystatin C in our previous study and to compare the prediction performance of cystatin C (Cys C) and serum creatinine (SCR)-based models. METHODS: The external data set consists of adults receiving vancomycin treatment at The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. We summarized and restored published models based on serum creatinine values from the literature and used our external data set for initial screening. Visual and external verifications were used to further select candidate models for comparison. The mean prediction error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) were the primary outcomes for the overall comparison. Group comparisons of patients with different glomerular filtration rates (GFRs), ages and body mass index (BMI) levels were obtained by the Bayesian method. RESULTS: A total of 156 patients with 233 samples were collected as an external data set. Sixteen published models were summarized and restored. After screening, four candidate models suitable for the external data set were finally obtained for comparison. The cystatin C-based model has a smaller ME value in the overall comparison. In the group comparison, serum creatinine-based models were underestimated in the prediction for patient groups with age ≥ 60 years, abnormal BMI values and GFR < 90 ml/min/1.73 m2, for which the cystatin C-based model could solve this problem. CONCLUSION: After comparison, we suggest that cystatin C is a superior renal function marker to serum creatinine for vancomycin PopPK models.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Renal function has an important influence on the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin, and serum cystatin C (CysC) exhibits accurate predictive performance as a marker for renal function. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) model of vancomycin based on serum CysC in pediatric patients. In addition, vancomycin dosage was optimized with the area under the serum concentration-time curve over 24 h (AUC0-24)/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio in the target range of 400-700 and the steady-state trough concentration (Css,trough). METHODS: Data were retrospectively obtained from pediatric patients aged 2-18 years who received vancomycin treatment for infection from January 2014 to June 2019. PopPK analysis and Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using nonlinear mixed effects model (NONMEM) software. RESULTS: A total of 220 children were included. Serum CysC and age were significant covariates affecting the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin. The final typical value of clearance was 2.25 L/h; the volume of distribution was 8.17 L. The average probability of target attainment values of AUC0-24/MIC ratios within 400-700 in the 2-7, 7-12, and 12-18 years age groups were 66.1%, 68.1% and 66.5%, respectively. The median Css,trough values of vancomycin for the 2-7, 7-12, and 12-18 years age groups were 7.49-11.84, 5.98-11.32, and 5.15-11.39 mg/L, respectively, and were highly correlated with AUC0-24/MIC ratios in the range of 400-700 when the MIC was 1 mg/L. CONCLUSIONS: The pharmacokinetic parameters for vancomycin in pediatric patients were estimated using a serum CysC model. The simulated dosages provide a reference for vancomycin therapy.
