Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate data for pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) target attainment analyses to assess antibacterial dosing regimens in early and late stage drug development. Careful consideration of the quality of data for pharmacokinetics, non-clinical PK-PD targets for efficacy, the choice of the bacterial reduction endpoint upon which the PK-PD target is based, variability in the PK-PD target, and effect site exposures ensures optimal dose selection. Relationships between drug exposure and efficacy and/or safety endpoints based on clinical data can also be applied to simulated data to support dose selection. These in silico analyses, conducted throughout drug development, provide the greatest opportunity to de-risk the development of antibacterial agents.
