Population Pharmacokinetics of a Novel Oral Fosfomycin Prophylactic Scheme in the Plasma and Prostate of Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Surgery for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Fosfomycin trometamol may be a valuable option for antimicrobial prophylaxis before urological surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The objective is to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of a novel oral fosfomycin prophylactic scheme in the plasma and prostate of patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Methods

One- and two-compartment plasma pharmacokinetic models were fitted to fosfomycin plasma data, and different plasma-prostate linked models were tested by means of non-linear mixed effects modelling. Monte Carlo simulation was used to obtain 1000-subject concentration-time profiles of fosfomycin in the prostate. Probabilities of target attainment ≥ 90% of an area under the plasma concentration-time cu
