5 MRSA VCM PKPD Clinical significance of pharmacokineticpharmacodinamic variables using Monte Carlo simulation in vancomycin treatment of pulmonary methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection Yusuke Inagaki 1, Masaru Komatsu 1, Ikuyoshi Yamamoto 2 and Shuji Matsuo 1 1 Departments of Clinical Pathology and 2 Pharmacy, Tenri Hospital, 200 Mishima, Tenri, Nara, Japan In studying the relationship between pharmacokinetic variables for serum vancomycinvcmand therapeutic outcome, we analyzed data from 31 patients with pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureusmrsa. VCM was effective in 21. Comparing pharmacokinetic variables between the 21 responders and 10 nonresponders yielded the following medianinterquartile rangewithin 1-2 hours after VCM administration was stopped: Cmax, 37.1 µ gml vs µ gml p0.32; trough, 10.5 µ gml8-12.4vs. 8.7 µ gml P0.25; elimination constantke,0.17h vs. 0.15hr P0.67; and area-under-the-concentration curveauc, 410 µ ghml vs. 318 µ gmlhr p0.01. AUC was the only statistically significant pharmacokinetic variable. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed AUC cutoff of 330 µ gmlhrsensitivity, 76.2; specificity, AUCdistribution for the 21 responders and MIC distribution for VCM of 373 MRSA strains isolated at Tenri Hospital were integrated over 1,000 Monte Carlo simulation trials. The probability of attaining an AUCMIC of 330 was These results indicate that AUC reflected VCM clinical efficacy for MRSA pneumonia, and the AUC cutoff was 330 µ gmlhr. Monte Carlo simulation also indicated a low probability of attaining an AUCMIC ratio 330. We therefore suggest that the AUCMIC ratio be adopted as an index for VCM treatment.
