Description
- Antimicrobial stewardship programs are gaining more and more relevance in optimizing anti-infective treatment and in preventing the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Personalization of antimicrobial treatment based on real-time therapeutic drug morning (TDM) and dosing adaptation may represent an important tool in antimicrobial stewardship programs. In this Ph.D project, we aim to focus on differences in pharmacokinetics (PK) for meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam and host response biomarkers (e.g., C-reactive protein) in severe Gram‐negative related infections occurring in oncohematologic patients. We are interested in identifying optimized model‐based individualized dosing strategies for these antibiotics focusing on biomarkers-guided prediction of PK and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters using population PK/PD modelling. We expect to identify optimal model‐based dosing targets for these antibiotics for special populations for implementation in TDM routines, and mathematical models characterizing the relationship between biomarkers and outcomes in these populations.
