Learning ObjectivesAt the end of this presentation, the learner will be able to:• Describe the basic concepts of PK/PD, specifically:

– the fundamentals of PK– the difference between PK and PD

• Describe the use of PK / PD principles in TB therapy, in particular, related to these in the use of: – INH– Rifamycins– Aminoglycosides

• Discuss the use of Clinical PK / Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in TB in relation to:– Optimizing efficacy– Minimizing toxicity– Patients needing it most

Intro to PK and PD• Pharmacokinetics (PK):

– ADME: Study of the time course ofAbsorption, Distribution, Metabolism & Excretion.

• Clinical Pharmacokinetics– The application of PK principles to the safe and

effective therapeutic management of drugs in an individual patient

– aka Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)

• Pharmacodynamics (PD)– Relationship between drug concentration at the site of

action and the resulting effect

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)*

GOAL: Optimization of therapy for individual pt: • Maximize efficacy

and/or• Minimize toxicity

Use with other clinical data

Most valuable when• Wide intersubject variation• Therapeutic concs ≈ toxic concs• Serum concs surrogate for concs at site of

action

TDM: What it’s really about• NOT necessarily “normal” ranges• Rather, individualized goals for each pt. • Goals should consider:

– Efficacy needs– Toxicity acceptance

• Once drug is chosen:– Determine desired conc. – Try to achieve!

Conclusions• Overview of PK/PD

– PK – time course ADME; PD - effect at site– Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)

• PK / PD in TB– INH – time-dependent– RIF, AMGs – concentration dependent– PK mismatch important, especially with INH and long

half-life rifamycins (RFB and RPT)

• Use of TDM in TB– Important in TB tx– Offers individualized tx

• Efficacy / Toxicity• Drug Interactions / Concurrent clinical problems
