To address this need, a prospective clinical study was conducted, which enrolled 112 critically ill patients and employed an opportunistic sampling strategy. Population modeling and simulation were performed to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and probability of target attainment (PTA) of piperacillin-tazobactam under various dosing regimens. Both piperacillin and tazobactam final models were one-compartment models with zero-order input and first-order elimination. Significant covariates included lean body weight for piperacillin and creatinine clearance along with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for both drugs. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrated that continuous infusion can achieve higher PTA than intermittent and extended infusions. When considering the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 16 mg/L for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (a frequently encountered bacterial pathogen among critically ill patients) and a PK/PD target of 100% fT >MIC, continuous infusion of 6 g/day is recommended for critically ill patients with a CLcr <60 mL/min, 9 g/day for patients with CLcr in the range of 60 to 129 mL/min, and 12 g/day for patients with a CLcr ≥130 mL/min. In addition, extended infusion represents a good alternative, especially the 3 g q6h or 4 g q6h regimens which can achieve the designated European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) non-species-related PK/PD breakpoint of 8 mg/L.

Use of ritonavir containing antivirals in patients requiring procedural sedation with intravenous midazolam is postulated to increase the risk or prolong the consequences of exposure related adverse events.

The secondary objective was to define the time course over with the interaction of ritonavir with IV midazolam resolves following cessation of ritonavir. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling was used to conduct clinical trials with a parallel group design defining exposure to a single 5 mg IV dose of midazolam in the presence and absence of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir dosed twice daily for 5 days. Simulations comprised 50 virtual healthy subjects aged 20 to 50 years (50% female). Based on FDA criteria, a moderate/strong interaction between nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and intravenous midazolam (area under the curve [AUC] ratio >2) was observed when intravenous midazolam was administered up to 72 h following cessation of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. The geometric mean (90% CI) midazolam AUC ratio was 9.21 (5.44 to 16.43) when coadministered on the final day of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir dosing. Importantly, there was no change in peak exposure; the geometric mean (90% CI) midazolam maximum concentration ratio was 0.99 (0.99 to 1.00). Use of ritonavir containing antivirals is unlikely to increase a patient's risk of experiencing an exposure related adverse event following administration of intravenous midazolam but may prolong complications in patients who experience an event.
