12 Agenda Summary of current standards and selected commercial methods BPs and BP setting process CLSI EUCAST Indications for AFST Conclusion

13 CLSI vs EUCAST breakpoint establishing procedure CLSI EUCAST MIC distributions PK/PD MIC/Clinical outcome relationships Cumulative % per species From animal models or humans Rule 9-6 Several data sets Epidemiological cutoffs per species Target validated by means of Montecarlo simulations Data mining BP never higher than ECOFF unless supported by clinical data

14 Fluconazole

15 C. tropicalis C. albicans C. glabrata C. krusei C. parapsilosis

16 Summary of epidemiological cut offs values for this bug drug combination EUCAST methodology C. albicans < mg/l C. parapsilosis < mg/l C. tropicalis < mg/l C. glabrata < 3 mg/l C. krusei < mg/l

17 Candidaemia. 6 patients & 6 episodes Oropharyngeal candidiasis. HIV+ patients & 3 episodes A total of 5 episodes of Candida infection were available for analysis

19 Distribution between successes and failures of 5 episodes

20 EUCAST Clinical Data MIC in mg/l > mg/d No cure/total % response <.5 / / / / /37.3 >6 3/6.7

21 Strategy to analyze results by data mining Different models have been used: Two decision trees: J and CART A classification rule: One R A probabilistic classifier: Naive Bayes A logistic regression model: Simple logistic Performance of the tests were assessed by means of: Sensitivity and specificity False positive rate Area under ROC curve Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) To check if different algorithms produce similar answers Cuesta I. et al. AAC :99-5.

22 EUCAST clinical data Classifiers MIC value for failures in mg/l Sensitivity in % False positive rate in % Area under ROC curve J > 7.6 CART > 7.9 one R > 7.9 Naïve Bayes Simple Logistic > > 9 3.9

24 Clinical BPs for fluconazole have been validated by data mining Susceptible Intermediate Resistant Apply to C. albicans, C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis But not to EUCAST < mg/l mg/l > mg/l C. krusei which is inherently resistant C. glabrata because BPs divide wild type populations & only 9 cases for analysis

MIC (μg/ml)

45 European concerns Outcome C. glabrata 55% versus 7-3% for C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis Logistic regression for CLSI BPs based on average population and not the lower 95% CI Montecarlo simulations: Target AUC/MIC ~ covers 99% population at a MIC of.5 mg/l for iv MIC of.5 for oral EUCAST data mining does not show any statistical support for in vitro in vivo outcome

46 EUCAST approach for Voriconazole ECOFFs as breakpoint C. glabrata and C. krusei No breakpoints, Insufficient data Voriconazole Rationale for the EUCAST clinical breakpoints, version May.

55 Agenda Summary of current standards and selected commercial methods BPs and BP setting process CLSI EUCAST Indications for AFST Conclusion

56 When? Guiding therapy Invasive mycoses Immunocompromised patients Failure cases Breakthrough isolates preceeding AF therapy Surveillance etc. Epidemiologic studies Uncommon species New compounds Cross resistance issues Breakpoint development process

57 How? Standardized methodology EUCAST CLSI Commercial method validated against reference methodologies ASTY,Etest, Sensititre, Vitek Careful selection of appropriate breakpoints

58 Conclusion Why do we differ?? CLSI BPs species with highest MIC drives the BP BPs have not been adjusted to change in methodology Risk of misclassifying R isolates as S. Very major errors!!!! EUCAST BPs Conservative approach Clinical correlation has to have statistical support if data arise showing isolates with resistance mechanisms are good targets BPs have to be raised My recommendation: Use EUCAST BPs
