Evaluation of dosing regimens for critically ill patients requires pharmacokinetic data in this population. This prospective observational study aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of unbound ceftolozane and tazobactam in critically ill patients without renal impairment and to assess the adequacy of recommended dosing regimens for treatment of systemic infections. Patients received 1.5 or 3.0 g ceftolozane-tazobactam according to clinician recommendation. Unbound ceftolozane and tazobactam plasma concentrations were assayed, and data were analyzed with Pmetrics with subsequent Monte Carlo simulations. A two-compartment model adequately described the data from twelve patients. Urinary creatinine clearance (CLCR) and body weight described between-patient variability in clearance and central volume of distribution (V), respectively. Mean +/- standard deviation (SD) parameter estimates for unbound ceftolozane and tazobactam, respectively, were CL of 7.2 +/- 3.2 and 25.4 +/- 9.4 liters/h, V of 20.4 +/- 3.7 and 32.4 +/- 10 liters, rate constant for distribution of unbound ceftolozane or tazobactam from central to peripheral compartment (Kcp) of 0.46 +/- 0.74 and 2.96 +/- 8.6 h(-1), and rate constant for distribution of unbound ceftolozane or tazobactam from peripheral to central compartment (Kpc) of 0.39 +/- 0.37 and 26.5 +/- 8.4 h(-1). With dosing at 1.5 g and 3.0 g every 8 h (q8h), the fractional target attainment (FTA) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was >= 85% for directed therapy (MIC = 85%. For a target of 40% of time the free drug concentration is above the MIC (40% fT(>MIC)), 3g q8h by intermittent infusion is suggested unless a highly susceptible pathogen is present, in which case 1.5-g dosing could be used. If a higher target of 100% fT(>MIC) is required, a 1.5-g loading dose plus a 4.5-g continuous infusion may be adequate.
