How to dose colistin?

BAPCOC National Study Day 22 03 2014
Introduction (1) - Bad bugs, no drugs
- 3 ‘superbugs’ on IDSA hit list:
- P. aeruginosa
- A. baumanii (USA, Asia, MidEast)
- K. pneumonia
- Increase in ESBL/CPE (India, UK, …)
- No new antimicrobials in the pipeline
POLYMYXINS (colistin and polymyxin B)
50yr old antibiotics… no official drug development
requirements, no detailed insight in PK….
Introduction (2) - Polymyxins throughout the world
Polymyxins – group of 5 antibiotics (A, B, C, D, E)
Polymyxin B: used in Singapore, Brasil, some parts of USA only
Polymyxin E (= colistin): worldwide use

Introduction (3) - ‘Redevelopment’ of colistin
•
•
•
Launched in 1959
Disappeared in ‘80s due to fatal nephrotoxicity and availability of less toxic
alternatives
Re-used since 2003-2005, triggered by MDR Gram– Predominantly in CF and ICU patients
– Predominantly for VAP/sepsis
– Intravenously/nebulisation
 Use in UZ Leuven: ± 70 ICU patients/yr treated with IV colistin
 Lots of effort and financial support (NIH, NIAID) for redevelopment
– Roger Nation - Jian Li (Monash University) - preclinical/clinical studies
– Lena Friberg (Uppsala) – popPK
– William Couet (Poitiers) - clinical studies

CMS vs. colistin (1) – what is administered?
– Colistin is administered as prodrug, i.e. CMS
– CMS is less acutely toxic
– CMS = colistin methanesulphonate=colistimethate=colistinsulphomethate=
sulphomethylcolistin
– 5 amines are sulphomethylated = penta-methanesulphonate
– CMS = poly-anion at pH 7,4

CMS vs. colistin (1) – what is administered?
– Conversion of CMS to colistin via spontaneous hydrolysis in aqueous
environment
– Occurs in water, plasma, blood, urine, BAL (also in samples and growth
media)
– Occurs slowly, sulphomethylgroups hydrolyse one by one: circulation of CMS,
colistin and intermediates (= in toto 25 possibilities = 32 circulating
derivatives!)
– Implications:
•
•
•
•
Conversion to active colistin is critical for efficacy
PK/PD studies: correct sample handling!
Susceptibility testing: use active colistin instead of CMS
Publications: should clearly state if doses/levels are expressed in CMS vs. colistin
1 MIU = 80 mg CMS Na = 30 mg CBA or 12500 IU/mg CMS

PK/PD Target
– Based on dose fractionnationstudies in neutropenic murine
models (infected thigh models)
– AUC/MIC is best correlating PK/PD parameter, no PAE
– Sustaining sufficient antibiotic exposure is important
AUC/MIC between 25-50 – corresponding to Cavg
2 mg/L for isolates with a MIC ≤ 1 mg/L

Pharmacokinetics (1) – quantification assay and reliability of
data
•
•
•
Before 2003-2005: plasma concentration analysis via microbiological assay
– Long duration of incubation at 37°C
– Important dilution
– Conversion of CMS colistin continues during assay
– Overestimation of colistin concentration
PK results based on micro assay (including package insert information) not reliable
Since 2005: validation of HPLC-UV and LC-MS/MS with reliable separation of
CMS / colistine, and quick results
Until 2009 – case reports and small studies
2009 – 3 studies studying colistin dosing, followed by popPK and simulation
• Plachouras (AAC 2009) – 18 pts, CrCl 41-116 mL/min
• Garonzik (AAC 2011) – 105 pts, CrCl 3 en 169 ml/min, 16 on RRT
• NIH funded study (not yet published) – 228 pts with CrCl 6-171 mL/min, 66
pts on RRT

Pharmacokinetics (3) – Importance of loading dose
LD avoids underdosing
during 48-72 hr
LD avoids induction of
resistance during 48-72 jr

LD dependent on Vd,
correlates well with ABW

Colistin is amphipilic (polycation, fatty acid): sticks to glass and labmaterial – Tween 80 or albumin
should be added to aqueous samples
Analysis only by validated non microbiological assays

Colistin….how to dose
•
•
•
•
•
Preparation just before administration
Dissoluted vials should be discarded
Adequate loading dose
Adequate (high) maintenance dose
Potential role for TDM in ‘difficult’ cases
– Correct sampling and storage
– Only by validated non-microbiological assays
• Future research needed in special subsets of patients
• Hepatobiliary disposition to be elucidated
