PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Antibiotic group of cephalosporins of the V generation.
After iv introduction, the prodrug of ceftaroline fosamil rapidly turns into active ceftaroline.
Ceftarolin is an antibiotic of the class of cephalosporins with activity against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
In vitro studies, the bactericidal effect of ceftaroline, due to the inhibition of the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PSB), is shown. Ceftaroline exhibits bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and for penicillin-insensitive Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) due to its high affinity to the altered PSB of these microorganisms.
The antimicrobial activity of ceftaroline, as well as of other beta-lactam antibiotics, is best correlated with the time interval during which drug concentrations remain above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the infecting microorganism (% T> MIC).

Tseftarolin is not active against Enterobacteriaceae strains producing extended-spectrum ОІ-lactamase (BLBR) of the TEM, SHV, or CTX-M families, serine carbapenemases (such as CRS), Class B or Class C metal-Оі-lactamase (cephalosporinase AmpC).
Resistance can also be associated with impaired permeability of the bacterial cell wall or with active excretion of the antibiotic (efflux). A microorganism may have one or more resistance mechanisms.
Despite the possible development of cross-resistance, some strains resistant to other cephalosporins may be sensitive to ceftarolin.
Microorganisms possessing natural resistance: Chlamydophila spp., Legionella spp., Mycoplasma spp., Proteus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
In vitro studies have not revealed antagonism in the use of ceftaroline in combination with other commonly prescribed antimicrobial agents (such as amikacin, azithromycin, aztreonam, daptomycin, levofloxacin, linezolid, meropenem, tigecycline and vancomycin).

The sensitivity of antibiotics in vitro varies depending on the geographical region and over time, so when choosing antibacterial therapy, it is necessary to take into account local information on resistance.
If the local resistance is such that the effectiveness of the drug for some infections becomes questionable, you need to seek the advice of an expert.
Sensitivity to ceftarolin should be determined using standard methods.
Interpretation of results should be carried out in accordance with local guidelines.
Clinical efficacy against selected pathogenic microorganisms

The following pathogenic microorganisms (according to indications for use), sensitive to ceftarolin in vitro, for which the effectiveness of ceftaroline has been shown in clinical studies.

Complicated skin and soft tissue infections: Gram-positive microorganisms - Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus anginosus group (includes S. anginosus, S. intermedius and S. constellatus), Streptococcus dysgalactiae;
Gram-negative microorganisms - Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Morganella morganii.
Community-acquired pneumonia: Gram-positive microorganisms - Streptococcus pneumoniae (including cases accompanied by bacteremia), Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-sensitive strains);
Gram-negative microorganisms - Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae.
The clinical efficacy of ceftaroline in relation to the pathogens listed below has not been established, but in vitro studies suggest that they are sensitive to ceftarolin in the absence of acquired resistance mechanisms: Gram-positive anaerobes (Peptostreptococcus spp.), Gram-negative anaerobes (Fusobacterium spp.).

PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction

C max and AUC of ceftaroline increase almost in proportion to the dose with a single administration of the drug in the dose range of 50 to 1000 mg.
There was no appreciable cumulation of ceftaroline after repeated iv administration of the drug at a dose of 600 mg for 60 min every 12 hours for 14 days to healthy volunteers with normal renal function.
Distribution

The degree of binding of ceftaroline to plasma proteins is low (about 20%), the drug does not penetrate into the red blood cells.
Median V d in the equilibrium state in healthy adult men after a single intravenous injection of 600 mg of the phthalomol of fosamil labeled with the isotope was 20.3 liters, almost like the volume of the extracellular fluid.
Metabolism

In plasma of blood under the influence of phosphatases, the prodrug of ceftaroline fosamil is rapidly transformed into active ceftaroline;
the concentrations of the prodrug are measurable in plasma, mainly during intravenous infusion. In the hydrolysis of the beta-lactam ring of ceftaroline, a microbiologically inactive metabolite, ceftorolin M-1, is formed. The ratio of the average values ​​of AUC of ceftorolin M-1 to ceftorolin in the blood plasma after a single IV injection of 600 mg of ceftaroline fosamil to healthy volunteers is approximately 20-30%.
Metabolism ceftarolina occurs without the participation of enzymes of the cytochrome P450 system.

Excretion

Ceftarolin is excreted mainly by the kidneys.
Renal clearance of ceftarolin is approximately equal to or slightly lower than the glomerular filtration rate in the kidneys, studies of in vitro transporters show that active secretion does not promote renal elimination of ceftaroline. The average T 1/2 ceftaroline in healthy adults is approximately 2.5 hours. After a single IV administration of 600 mg isotope-labeled ceftaroline fosamil, in healthy adults, approximately 88% of radioactivity was detected in urine and 6% in feces.
Pharmacokinetics in specific patient groups

After a single IV infusion of 600 mg of ceftorolin of fosamil for 60 min, C max of ceftaroline in plasma was 28.4 В± 6.9 Ојg / ml, 28.2 В± 5.4 Ојg / ml and 30.8 В± 4.9 Ојg / ml in patients with normal renal function, renal insufficiency of the lung and moderate severity, respectively.
C max of ceftaroline was reached approximately 60 minutes after the start of the infusion. AUC of ceftaroline increased in proportion to the degree of renal failure and was 75.6 В± 9.7 Ојg / hr, 92.3 В± 25.3 Ојg h / ml and 114.8 В± 14.1 Ојg h / ml in patients with normal kidney function, renal failure of mild to moderate severity, respectively. Correction of the dose is required only in patients with moderate renal insufficiency (KK 30-50 ml / min). There is insufficient data for recommendations for dose adjustment in patients with severe renal insufficiency (QC-30 mL / min) and terminal stage of renal failure, including patients on hemodialysis.
Studies of the pharmacokinetics of ceftaroline in patients with hepatic insufficiency have not been conducted.
Because ceftaroline does not undergo hepatic metabolism to a large extent, it is not expected that hepatic insufficiency will significantly affect the systemic clearance of ceftaroline. Therefore, it is not recommended to adjust the dose of the drug in patients with hepatic insufficiency.
After a single IV dose of 600 mg of ceftaroline, fosamil, the pharmacokinetics of the drug were similar in healthy elderly (? 65 years) and healthy young patients (18-45 years).
In elderly volunteers, a slight increase in AUC 0-? (by 33%), which is mainly due to age-related changes in kidney function. It is not necessary to adjust the dose of the drug in elderly patients with CK> 50 ml / min.
Safety and efficacy of Zinforo В® in children and adolescents under the age of 18 years have not been established.

The pharmacokinetics of ceftaroline were similar in men and women.
No dosage adjustment is required depending on the patient's sex.
There were no significant differences in the parameters of the pharmacokinetics of ceftaroline in patients belonging to different ethnic groups.
It is not necessary to adjust the dose of the drug depending on the patient's race.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

When using the drug should be guided by official recommendations for the proper use of antibacterial drugs.

Hypersensitivity reactions

As with all beta-lactam antibiotics, it is possible to develop serious hypersensitivity reactions (sometimes with a fatal outcome).

In patients with hypersensitivity to cephalosporins, penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics in an anamnesis, an allergic reaction to ceftaroline fosamyl can also develop.
Before starting therapy with Zinforo В® , the patient's data should be carefully examined for the detection of hypersensitivity reactions to beta-lactam antibiotics. The drug is contraindicated in patients with an increased sensitivity to cephalosporins in history. Also, the drug is contraindicated in patients who have previously experienced severe immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (eg, anaphylactic reaction) to any other antibacterial agent having a beta-lactam structure (eg, penicillins or carbapenems).
With the development of a severe allergic reaction, it is necessary to stop the administration of the drug and take appropriate measures.

Diarrhea associated with Clostridium difficile

When using almost all antibacterial drugs, incl.
preparation Zinforo В® , reported on the development of antibiotic-associated colitis and pseudomembranous colitis, which can vary in severity from mild to life-threatening forms. It should take into account the possibility of the development of colitis in the event of diarrhea during treatment with ceftaroline fosamila. In this case it is necessary to stop therapy with Zinforo В® , conduct support activities and assign specific treatment for Clostridium difficile.
Patients with a history of convulsive disorders
As with other cephalosporins, ceftaroline toxicity studies in development of seizures observed while taking the drug in doses exceeding C maxin 7-25 times. Experience of ceftaroline in patients with a history of convulsive disorders is limited, and therefore should be taken when applying the drug Zinforo В® in this group of patients.
Renal failure
Experience with ceftaroline in patients with severe renal insufficiency and end-stage renal failure and in patients on hemodialysis is limited. Therefore, the use of the drug Zinforo В® in this patient population is contraindicated.
Direct antiglobulin test (Coombs test)
A positive direct antiglobulin test (APM) can be obtained on treatment with cephalosporins. The frequency of positive PAT patients treated with ceftaroline fosamil amounted to 10.7% in the combined phase 3 studies None of the patients with a positive PAT during treatment with ceftaroline not showed signs of hemolysis.
Insensitive microorganisms
When applying ceftaroline fosamila as other antibiotics may develop superinfection.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

No studies on the effect of the drug Zinforo В® on the ability to drive vehicles and management of other mechanisms. During therapy, can occur dizziness, so be careful when driving and when engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require high concentration and psychomotor speed reactions. If dizziness should refrain from carrying out these activities.
OVERDOSE

overdose data are limited. The probability of overdose is higher in patients with impaired renal function. In applying the drug at doses higher than the recommended observed same adverse reactions, as in the use of the drug at the recommended doses.
Treatment: symptomatic.
Ceftaroline partially displayed via hemodialysis.
DRUG INTERACTION

Clinical studies of drug interactions with ceftaroline not conducted.
In in vitro studies ceftaroline not inhibit cytochrome P450 isozymes CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 isozymes and did not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 / 5. Therefore the interaction probability ceftaroline with drugs that are metabolized by the action of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes low. Ceftaroline is not metabolized by the action of cytochrome P450 isozymes in vitro, however, it is unlikely to influence the pharmacokinetics of ceftaroline parameters when combined with inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes.
In vitro ceftaroline not transferred efflux transporter P-gp or BCRP. Ceftaroline not inhibit P-gp, consequently, the interaction with substrates such as digoxin, is expected. Ceftaroline is a weak inhibitor of BCRP, but this effect is not clinically significant.
Studies in vitro have shown that ceftaroline not a substrate, and does not inhibit organic cation transporters (OST2) and anions (OAT1, OAT3) kidney; however, it is unlikely interactions with drugs that inhibit the active renal secretion (e.g. probenecid) or with drugs that are substrates of these transporters.
Interaction with other antibacterial drugs
in vitro tests revealed no antagonism in the combined use ceftaroline and other commonly used antibacterial agents (e.g., amikacin, azithromycin, aztreonam, daptomycin, levofloxacin, linezolid, meropenem, vancomycin and tigecycline).
