Abstract
A two-compartmental mathematical pharmacokinetic model with first-order elimination of patients receiving CAPD of 4 exchanges for 6 h with 2 L of dialysate used in each cycle was developed to predict daptomycin disposition in 120 h of therapy. The pharmacodynamic target was plasma AUC/MIC equal to or greater than 666. The dose that achieved at least 90% of the probability of target attainment was defined as an optimal dose. Administering intraperitoneal 300 mg daily for 1 exchange daily regimen would be sufficient to treat peritonitis with S. aureus infection with MICs of 0.25 mg/L in patients undergoing CAPD. A higher dosage may be required for infections with a higher minimum inhibitory concentration. Pharmacodynamic targets and MICs significantly contributed to daptomycin doses in this setting. Clinical validation of our recommendations is recommended.
