Limited Sampling Strategies Using Linear Regression and the Bayesian Approach for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Moxifloxacin in Tuberculosis Patients
Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of moxifloxacin is recommended to improve the response to tuberculosis treatment and reduce acquired drug resistance. Limited sampling strategies (LSSs) are able to reduce the burden of TDM by using a small number of appropriately timed samples to estimate the parameter of interest, the area under the concentration-time curve. ABSTRACT Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of moxifloxacin is recommended to improve the response to tuberculosis treatment and reduce acquired drug resistance. Limited sampling strategies (LSSs) are able to reduce the burden of TDM by using a small number of appropriately timed samples to estimate the parameter of interest, the area under the concentration-time curve. This study aimed to develop LSSs for moxifloxacin alone (MFX) and together with rifampin (MFX+RIF) in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models were developed for MFX (n = 77) and MFX+RIF (n = 24). In addition, LSSs using Bayesian approach and multiple linear regression were developed. Jackknife analysis was used for internal validation of the popPK models and multiple linear regression LSSs. Clinically feasible LSSs (one to three samples, 6-h timespan postdose, and 1-h interval) were tested. Moxifloxacin exposure was slightly underestimated in the one-compartment models of MFX (mean –5.1%, standard error [SE] 0.8%) and MFX+RIF (mean –10%, SE 2.5%). The Bayesian LSSs for MFX and MFX+RIF (both 0 and 6 h) slightly underestimated…
