Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of cefiderocol during successful treatment of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii meningitis
Background
To date, no real-world data are available to describe cefiderocol use in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) meningitis. Furthermore, cefiderocol pharmacokinetic (PK) data to support CNS penetration in human subjects are limited. These gaps pose a significant concern for clinicians who are faced with treating such infections when considering cefiderocol use.
Objectives
To describe cefiderocol CSF and plasma PK and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from two different dosing regimens [2 g IV q6h (regimen 1) and 2 g IV q8h (regimen 2)] during treatment of CRAB meningitis.
Patients and methods
A 61-year-old woman with CRAB meningitis was treated with cefiderocol and intraventricular gentamicin. Steady-state plasma and CSF cefiderocol concentrations were evaluated on Day 19 (regimen 1) and Day 24 (regimen 2) during the cefiderocol treatment course.
Results
CSF AUC was 146.49 and 118.28 mg·h/L, as determined by the linear-log trapezoidal method for regimens 1 and 2, respectively. Penetration into CSF estimated as the AUCCSF/AUCfree plasma ratio was 68% and 60% for regimens 1 and 2, respectively. Estimated free plasma and CSF concentrations exceeded the MIC of the isolate for 100% of the dosing interval. Microbiological and clinical cure were achieved, and no cefiderocol-associated adverse effects were observed.
Conclusions
Cefiderocol, when given as 2 g q8h and 2 g q6h, attained CSF concentrations that exceeded the organism-specific MIC and the CLSI susceptible breakpoint (≤4 mg/L) for 100% of the dosing interval.
