LID - 10.1128/AAC.02163-17 [doi] LID - e02163-17 AB - Cefiderocol is a novel parenteral siderophore cephalosporin that shows potent efficacy against various Gram-negative bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant strains, in vitro and in preclinical models of infection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of cefiderocol after both single and multiple dosing by intravenous infusion over 60 min in healthy adult subjects. A single-ascending-dose study at doses of 100, 250, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg was conducted in 40 healthy Japanese males and females (6 individuals receiving the active drug and 2 individuals receiving a placebo per cohort). A multiple-ascending-dose study at doses of 1,000 (two groups) and 2,000 mg every 8 h (q8h) was conducted in 30 healthy Japanese and Caucasian males (8 individuals receiving the active drug and 2 individuals receiving a placebo per cohort). There were no serious or clinically significant adverse events (AEs) observed in either study. A single subject receiving 1,000 mg cefiderocol q8h was withdrawn due to AEs. Dose-proportional increases in the maximum plasma concentration (C(max)), the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration after dosing, and the area under the concentration-time curve extrapolated from time zero to infinity were observed across the dose range of 100 to 2,000 mg. The mean plasma half-life of cefiderocol was 1.98 to 2.74 h. Cefiderocol was primarily excreted unchanged in the urine (61.5% to 68.4% of the dose). There was little accumulation of C(max) and AUC by dosing q8h, and the PK of cefiderocol did not change with multiple dosing. This study indicates that single and multiple intravenous doses of cefiderocol at up to 2,000 mg are well tolerated in healthy subjects and exhibit linear PK at doses up to 2,000 mg.
