Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam is approved for the treatment of serious gram-negative bacterial infections in adults. This study assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a single dose of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (with a fixed 2:1 ratio of imipenem/cilastatin to relebactam, and with a maximum dose of 15 mg/kg imipenem and 15 mg/kg cilastatin [≤500 mg imipenem and ≤500 mg cilastatin] and 7.5 mg/kg relebactam [≤250 mg relebactam]) in children with confirmed/suspected gram-negative bacterial infections receiving standard-of-care antibacterial therapy. In this phase 1, noncomparative study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT03230916), PK parameters from 46 children were analyzed using both population modeling and noncompartmental analysis. The PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) target for imipenem was percent time of the dosing interval that unbound plasma concentration exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration (%fT>MIC) of ≥30% (MIC = 2 mcg/mL). For relebactam, the PK/PD target was a free drug area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) normalized to MIC (at 2 mcg/mL) of ≥8.0 (equivalent to an AUC from time zero extrapolated to infinity of ≥20.52 mcg·h/mL). Safety was assessed up to 14 days after drug infusion. For imipenem, the ranges for the geometric mean %fT>MIC and maximum concentration (Cmax ) across age cohorts were 56.5%-93.7% and 32.2-38.2 mcg/mL, respectively. For relebactam, the ranges of the geometric mean Cmax and AUC from 0 to 6 hours across age cohorts were 16.9-21.3 mcg/mL and 26.1-55.3 mcg·h/mL, respectively. In total, 8/46 (17%) children experienced ≥1 adverse events (AEs) and 2/46 (4%) children experienced nonserious AEs that were deemed drug related by the investigator. Imipenem and relebactam exceeded plasma PK/PD targets; single doses of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam were well tolerated with no significant safety concerns identified. These results informed imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam dose selection for further pediatric clinical evaluation.

D015377 Cilastatin A renal dehydropeptidase-I and leukotriene D4 dipeptidase inhibitor. Since the antibiotic, IMIPENEM, is hydrolyzed by dehydropeptidase-I, which resides in the brush border of the renal tubule, cilastatin is administered with imipenem to increase its effectiveness. The drug also inhibits the metabolism of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4.

D015378 Imipenem Semisynthetic thienamycin that has a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including many multiresistant strains. It is stable to beta-lactamases. Clinical studies have demonstrated high efficacy in the treatment of infections of various body systems. Its effectiveness is enhanced when it is administered in combination with CILASTATIN, a renal dipeptidase inhibitor.
