Abstract

Background
Sulbactam-durlobactam (SUL-DUR) is a β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination in development for the treatment of infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex (ABC), including multidrug-resistant and carbapenem-resistant isolates. SUL-DUR is predominantly renally eliminated, with altered exposures in patients with renal impairment (RI) or with augmented renal clearance (ARC). Using population pharmacokinetic (PPK) approaches with Phase 1-3 clinical data, alternate dosing regimens to those used in the Phase 3 trial were assessed across renal function categories.

Methods
A PPK model was previously constructed using data from 373 subjects, of which 110 were infected Phase 3 patients, and included the impact of statistically significant covariates, such as creatinine clearance (CLCR), on the variability in SUL-DUR PK. The population mean clearance of both drugs increased with increasing CLCR. Using this model, simulations were conducted to evaluate appropriate dosing regimens (as 3-hour intravenous infusions) for patients with RI and ARC based on PK exposure and probability of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment (PTA).

Results
Patients with CLCR &lt; 45 mL/min had higher exposures of SUL-DUR compared to patients with CLCR ≥ 60 mL/min (Table 1), suggesting that further dose adjustments may be needed in these subgroups. To streamline the dosing regimens across renal function categories, a dosing regimen of 1 g/1 g SUL-DUR q4h instead of 1.5 g/1.5 g SUL-DUR q6h was also evaluated for patients with ARC. Alternate dosing regimens (Table 2) yielded Day 3 plasma exposures that were generally contained within the 5th and 95th percentiles of the exposure distribution of simulated patients with normal renal function (Figure 1). Based on PK/PD targets associated with a 1-log10 CFU reduction from baseline on Day 1, a PTA &gt; 90% for MIC values ≤ 4 mg/L across CLCR categories was achieved in both plasma and epithelial lining fluid.

Conclusion
Alternate SUL-DUR dosing regimens in simulated patients with CLCR &lt; 45 mL/min and ≥ 130 mL/min resulted in exposures that were comparable to those in patients with normal renal function with a high PTA, indicating that these doses are expected to be safe and efficacious.
