摘要

Objective: To determine the optimal dosing regimen of daptomycin in patients receiving thrice-weekly hemodialysis. Data Sources: Literature was accessed via PubMed using the terms daptomycin and hemodialysis through July 2013. Reference citations from publications identified were reviewed. Study Selection and Data Extraction: English language articles meeting the search criteria were evaluated. Studies were included if they addressed either thrice-weekly or intradialytic daptomycin administration. Data Synthesis: Daptomycin is approved for the treatment of bloodstream infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive organisms. Rapid bactericidal activity and limited potential for drug interactions make daptomycin an attractive agent. However, the daptomycin prescribing information recommends dosing every 48 hours in patients receiving hemodialysis, which results in dyssynchrony of dosing and dialysis sessions every other week. Studies evaluating a dosing regimen of daptomycin thrice weekly, coinciding with dialysis, indicate that pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters are appropriate for therapeutic success. However, to maintain adequate serum drug concentrations throughout the 72-hour interdialytic period, an additional 50% of the dose should be provided to account for the longer interval. Intradialytic dosing, with the administration of daptomycin infusion beginning during the final 30 minutes of dialysis, may also require a dose increase. Limited clinical outcomes data have been reported, but no significant safety concerns have been identified. Conclusions: Administration of daptomycin doses thrice weekly on hemodialysis days appears to be both safe and reasonable. Doses should be increased preceding the 72-hour interdialytic period or if daptomycin is infused during dialysis.
