Abstract

Cefiderocol (C) is a parenteral siderophore cephalosporin with relevant inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability among critically ill patients, which may potentially affect effective drug exposure. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may concur in improving the real-time management of C therapy in clinics. In this study, we developed and validated a fast and sensitive Liquid Chromatography-Isotope Dilution Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-ITD-MS/MS) method for measuring C in human plasma microsamples, as small as 3 microliters. Analysis was preceded by a user-friendly pre-analytical single-step and was performed by means of a very fast chromatographic run of 4 min, followed by positive electrospray ionization and detection on a high sensitivity triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer operated in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The straightforward analytical procedure was successfully validated, based on the European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines, in terms of specificity, sensitivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, extraction recovery, limit of quantification, and stability. The novel method was successfully applied to TDM of C in more than 50 cases of critically carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections and enabled us to optimize antibiotic therapy.
