Doripenem population pharmacokinetics and dosing recommendations are limited in obesity. To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of doripenem in obese patients. Hospitalized adults with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m² or total body weight (TBW) ≥45.5 kg over their ideal body weight received doripenem 500 mg every 8 hours, infused over 1 hour. Population pharmacokinetic analyses were performed using NONMEM, and Monte Carlo simulations were performed for 5 intermittent and prolonged infusion dosing regimens to calculate probability of target attainment (PTA) at 40% and 100% fT>MIC (free drug concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration). A total of 20 patients were studied: 10 in an intensive care unit (ICU) and 10 in a non-ICU. A 2-compartment model with first-order elimination best described the serum …
