Our aims are:

  • Foster and promote education and research in therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical toxicology;

  • Improve the standards of practice and clinical interpretation of drug and toxic substance analyses and facilitate the delivery of interpretation through clinical pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics for enhanced patient care;

  • Encourage cooperation with and among members of all professions concerned with TDM and clinical toxicology;

  • Encourage the effective application of therapeutic drug monitoring to optimize clinical drug use and maximize the clinical and economic benefits;

  • Encourage progress in clinical toxicology as a diagnostic tool and therapeutic aid for therapeutic drug overdoses, drug abuse, and exposure to environmental toxicants.

Anti-infective Drugs Committee

Last update: August 2012

Chair: Eliane M Billaud, Paris Descartes University, Medical School, Hôpital Européen G Pompidou, Paris, France. eliane.billaud@egp.aphp.fr

Background/Purpose of the Committee

The Anti-Infective Drugs Committee was proposed to replace the Antifungal Drugs Committee during the past IATDMCT Congress in Stuttgart. The Executive Committee has confirmed this change in December 2011.

The new version of our Committee will cover the TDM of Anti-Infective drugs, except of course Antiviral Drugs for HIV and Hepatitis, still charged by the HIV Drugs Committee.

Anti-Infective Drugs TDM is a challenging issue. The availability of LC(MS) methods offers the potentiality to move from microbiological assays to physical-chemical procedures for the determination of these drugs in biological samples. It also provides several different drugs determination per run in a turnaround time that meets clinical relevance. The previous experience realised with the Antifungal Drugs Committee could be easily extend to other Anti-Infective Drugs, in particular the interplay with specialised fields of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Underlying diseases.

Minutes of last Committee meeting

The last Committee meeting took place in Stuttgart by October 3, 2011.

Attendance was achieved by the following members (EM Billaud, JWC Alffenaar, D Allorge, M Regazzi, M Neely, BS Jacobs after R Brugemann). Some others have been met during the meeting (T Gougnard, W Hope, B Vadnais, D Mac Keown, DC Jiang)

Agenda
New members, Chair and Vice-Chair continued
Next Vice-Chair, ongoing position in 2013 : Mario Regazzi
Rationale for a change from Antifungal to Anti-Infective Drugs Committee; frontiers and interplay with the HIV Drugs Committee were discussed and finalized.
Report of the 2011 Committee will be presented in the June, 2012 Compass Issue

Perspectives
- focus some Anti-Infective Drugs issues (Colistin, Antivirals Ganciclovir and Aciclovir, Antibacterials, physical-chemical LCMS procedures for the determination of these drugs in biological samples, as several different drugs determination per run in an appropriate turnaround)
- Anti-Infective Drug-to-Drug Interactions
- expand the strong representation already available in Europe to cover all the continents, with a first collaboration with Australia and the ANZMIG chaired by D Marriott, a collaborative approach with M Neely (US)
- take the opportunity of young scientist members in the Committee to favour links and educational…
- develop the participation of this area in the next Congress after a first Symposium (S7) in Stuttgart which received a nice attendance

We are very grateful to the Executive Committee for their kind agreement to this change.
