Abstract

Aims: To optimize the dosing regimen in patients with severe renal impairment based on population pharmacokinetic (PPK)/pharmacodynamic analysis. Methods: The pharmacokinetics and safety of nemonoxacin was evaluated in a single-dose, open-label, nonrandomized, parallel-group study after single oral dose of a 0.5-g nemonoxacin capsule in 10 patients with severe renal impairment and 10 healthy controls. Both blood and urine samples were collected within 72 hours after admission and determined the concentrations. A PPK model was built using nonlinear mixed effects modelling. The probability of target attainment and the cumulative fraction of response against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus was calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. Results: The data best fitted a 2-compartment model, from which the PPK parameters were estimated, including clearance (8.55 L/h), central compartment volume (80.8 L) and peripheral compartment volume (50.6 L). The accumulative urinary excretion was 23.4 ± 6.5% in severe renal impairment patients and 66.1 ± 16.8% in healthy controls. PPK/pharmacodynamic modelling and simulation of 4 dosage regimens found that nemonoxacin 0.5 g every 48 hours (q48h) was the optimal dosing regimen in severe renal impairment patients, evidenced by higher probability of target attainment (92.7%) and cumulative fraction of response (>99%) at nemonoxacin minimum inhibitory concentration ≤ 1 mg/L against S. pneumoniae and S. aureus. The alternative regimens (0.25 g q24h; loading dose 0.5 g on Day 1 followed by 0.25 g q24h) were insufficient to cover the pathogens even if minimum inhibitory concentration = 1 mg/L. Conclusion: An extended dosing interval (0.5 g q48h) may be appropriate for optimal efficacy of nemonoxacin in case of severe renal impairment.
