- Objectives: New drugs and methods to efficiently fight carbapenem-resistant gram-negative pathogens are sorely needed. In this study, we characterized the preclinical pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of the clinical stage drug candidate apramycin in time kill and mouse lung infection models. Based on in vitro and in vivo data, we developed a mathematical model to predict human efficacy. Methods: Three pneumonia-inducing gram-negative species Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae were studied. Bactericidal kinetics were evaluated with time-kill curves; in vivo PK were studied in healthy and infected mice, with sampling in plasma and epithelial lining fluid after subcutaneous administration; in vivo efficacy was measured in a neutropenic mouse pneumonia model. A pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model, integrating all the data, was developed and simulations were performed. Results: Good lung penetration of apramycin in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) was shown (area under the curve (AUC)ELF/AUCplasma = 88%). Plasma clearance was 48% lower in lung infected mice compared to healthy mice. For two out of five strains studied, a delay in growth (∼5 h) was observed in vivo but not in vitro. The mathematical model enabled integration of lung PK to drive mouse PK and pharmacodynamics. Simulations predicted that 30 mg/kg of apramycin once daily would result in bacteriostasis in patients. Discussion: Apramycin is a candidate for treatment of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative pneumonia as demonstrated in an integrated modeling framework for three bacterial species. We show that mathematical modelling is a useful tool for simultaneous inclusion of multiple data sources, notably plasma and lung in vivo PK and simulation of expected scenarios in a clinical setting, notably lung infections. © 2022 The Author(s)

- Background Apramycin is under development for human use as EBL-1003, a crystalline free base of apramycin, in face of increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Both toxicity and cross-resistance, commonly seen for other aminoglycosides, appear relatively low owing to its distinct chemical structure. Objectives To perform a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) analysis and predict an efficacious dose based on data from a first-in-human Phase I trial. Methods The drug was administered intravenously over 30 min in five ascending-dose groups ranging from 0.3 to 30 mg/kg. Plasma and urine samples were collected from 30 healthy volunteers. PPK model development was performed stepwise and the final model was used for PTA analysis. Results A mammillary four-compartment PPK model, with linear elimination and a renal fractional excretion of 90%, described the data. Apramycin clearance was proportional to the absolute estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). All fixed effect parameters were allometrically scaled to total body weight (TBW). Clearance and steady-state volume of distribution were estimated to 5.5 L/h and 16 L, respectively, for a typical individual with absolute eGFR of 124 mL/min and TBW of 70 kg. PTA analyses demonstrated that the anticipated efficacious dose (30 mg/kg daily, 30 min intravenous infusion) reaches a probability of 96.4% for a free AUC/MIC target of 40, given an MIC of 8 mg/L, in a virtual Phase II patient population with an absolute eGFR extrapolated to 80 mL/min. Conclusions The results support further Phase II clinical trials with apramycin at an anticipated efficacious dose of 30 mg/kg once daily.
