ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Ceftobiprole is a novel ß-lactam cephalosporin with activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), safety and tolerance of ceftobiprole in Chinese participants, to evaluate this dosage regimen for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in China.METHODS:
The use of ceftobiprole was investigated in a single-center, open-label, single- and multiple-dose study using 12 healthy Chinese participants (6 males and 6 females). Ceftobiprole plasma and urine concentrations were analyzed using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. The PK/PD characteristics of 500 mg ceftobiprole every 8 h at 1.5-, 2-, 3-, or 4-h infusion time were analyzed by Monte Carlo simulations (MCS).RESULTS:
The maximum plasma concentration of ceftobiprole was observed 2 h after dosage; its terminal half-life was about 3 h. Ceftobiprole was predominantly eliminated in urine, and the cumulative excretion in 24 h was >90%. There was no accumulation after multiple dosing. Both single and multiple doses were well tolerated, with no severe or serious adverse events (AEs). PK/PD analysis indicated that Staphylococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were sensitive to ceftobiprole. About half of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL) non-producing Enterobacteriaceae are sensitive to ceftobiprole, according to PK/PD results of ceftobiprole. For Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), no regimen was found to be effective against strains.CONCLUSIONS:
The PK/PD results indicated that 500 mg ceftobiprole every 8 h at 2-h infusion time is expected to achieve good microbiological efficacy in the treatment of CAP and HAP in China.
