ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To evaluate the stability of ceftazidime/avibactam in elastomeric infusers, utilizing the UK's Yellow Cover Document (YCD) stability testing framework, in conditions representative of OPAT practice.Methods:
Ceftazidime/avibactam was reconstituted with sodium chloride 0.9% (w/v) in two elastomeric infusers at concentrations (dose) levels of 1500/375, 3000/750 and 6000â mg/1500â mg in 240â mL. The infusers were exposed to a fridge storage (2°C-8°C) for 14â days followed by 24â h in-use temperature (32°C).Results:
After 14â days of fridge storage and subsequent 24â h exposure to 32°C, meanâ±âSD of ceftazidime percent remaining was 75.5%â±â1.8%, 79.9%â±â1.1%, 82.4%â±â0.6%, for Easypump, and 81.7%â±â1.2%, 82.5%â±â0.5%, 85.4%â±â1.1% for Dosi-Fuser devices at the high, intermediate and low doses tested, respectively. For avibactam, meanâ±âSD percent remaining was 83.2%â±â1.8%, 87.4%â±â2.0%, 93.1%â±â0.9% for Easypump, and 85.1%â±â2.0%, 86.7%â±â0.1%, 92.5%â±â0.1% for Dosi-Fuser devices. The cumulative amount of pyridine generated in the devices ranged from 10.4â mg at low dose to 76.9â mg at high dose. Regression-based simulation showed that the degradation of both ceftazidime and avibactam was <10% for at least 12â h of the running phase, if stored in a fridge for not more than 72â h prior to in-use temperature exposure.Conclusions:
Whilst not meeting the strict UK YCD criteria for ≤5% degradation, ceftazidime/avibactam may be acceptable to administer as a continuous 12â hourly infusion in those territories where degradation of ≤10% is deemed acceptable.
