Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for antibiotic drugs represents a consolidated practice to optimize the effectiveness and to limit the toxicity of specific drugs by guiding dosage adjustments. The comparison of TDM results with drug-specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters, based on killing dynamics and bacterial susceptibility, increases the probability of therapeutic success. Purpose: The aim of this study was the analytical validation of a new UHPLC-MS/MS assay for the quantification of 19 antibiotics divided in two different sets considering their chemical/pharmacological properties. This method has been implemented in an analytical LC-MS/MS Kit System by CoQua Lab s.r.l (Turin). Methods: The analytical validation is developed in accordance with "ICH Harmonized Guideline M10 on bioanalytical method validation and study sample analysis" and "Guidelines for regulatory auditing of quality management system of medical device manufacturers". Method suitability in the clinical context was tested by analysing clinical samples from patients treated with antibiotic drugs. Results: This method allows for simultaneous TDM of the following molecules: dalbavancin, daptomycin, linezolid, tedizolid, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, meropenem, ertapenem, vaborbactam, avibactam, sulbactam, tazobactam, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, ceftolozane, ceftobiprole, cefiderocol, ceftaroline and piperacillin. These drugs were quantified showing analytical performance parameters compliant with guidelines in terms of repeatability, reproducibility, robustness, bias, LOD, LOQ and linearity. The method was capable to successfully monitor drug concentrations in 65 samples from 52 patients undergoing treatment. Conclusion: The UHPLC-MS/MS method described in this work can be useful for TDM of the reported antimicrobial agents. The analytical protocol is rapid and suitable to be used in routine analysis.

Abstract

Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for antibiotic drugs represents a consolidated practice to optimize the effectiveness and to limit the toxicity of specific drugs by guiding dosage adjustments. The comparison of TDM results with drug-specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters, based on killing dynamics and bacterial susceptibility, increases the probability of therapeutic success. Purpose: The aim of this study was the analytical validation of a new UHPLC-MS/MS assay for the quantification of 19 antibiotics divided in two different sets considering their chemical/pharmacological properties. This method has been implemented in an analytical LC-MS/MS Kit System by CoQua Lab s.r.l (Turin). Methods: The analytical validation is developed in accordance with "ICH Harmonized Guideline M10 on bioanalytical method validation and study sample analysis" and "Guidelines for regulatory auditing of quality management system of medical device manufacturers". Method suitability in the clinical context was tested by analysing clinical samples from patients treated with antibiotic drugs. Results: This method allows for simultaneous TDM of the following molecules: dalbavancin, daptomycin, linezolid, tedizolid, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, meropenem, ertapenem, vaborbactam, avibactam, sulbactam, tazobactam, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, ceftolozane, ceftobiprole, cefiderocol, ceftaroline and piperacillin. These drugs were quantified showing analytical performance parameters compliant with guidelines in terms of repeatability, reproducibility, robustness, bias, LOD, LOQ and linearity. The method was capable to successfully monitor drug concentrations in 65 samples from 52 patients undergoing treatment. Conclusion: The UHPLC-MS/MS method described in this work can be useful for TDM of the reported antimicrobial agents. The analytical protocol is rapid and suitable to be used in routine analysis.
