ABSTRACT: Background
The hollow-fiber infection model (HFIM) is a valuable tool for evaluating pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics relationships and determining the optimal antibiotic dose in monotherapy or combination therapy, but the application for personalized precision medicine in tuberculosis treatment remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adjusted antibiotic doses for a tuberculosis patient using HFIM.Methods
Model-based Bayesian forecasting was utilized to assess the proposed reduction of the isoniazid dose from 300 mg daily to 150 mg daily in a patient with an ultra-slow-acetylation phenotype. The efficacy of the adjusted 150-mg dose was evaluated in a time-to-kill assay performed using the bacterial isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Ra in a HFIM that mimicked the individual pharmacokinetic profile of the patient.Results
The isoniazid concentration observed in the HFIM adequately reflected the target drug exposures simulated by the model. After 7 days of repeated dose administration, isoniazid killed 4 log10 Mtb CFU/mL in the treatment arm, while the control arm without isoniazid increased 1.6 log10 CFU/mL.Conclusion
Our results provide an example of the utility of the HFIM for predicting the efficacy of specific recommended doses of anti-tuberculosis drugs in real clinical setting.
