    Abstract Objectives: Lefamulin is a pleuromutilin antibiotic approved for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Its spectrum of activity, good penetration into soft tissues and low rates of cross-resistance also make lefamulin a potentially valuable option for treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs). A Phase 2 trial of lefamulin for ABSSSI indicated similar efficacy of 100 and 150 mg q12h IV dosing regimens. In the present study, the potential of lefamulin for this indication was further evaluated from a translational pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic perspective.
    Methods: PTA was determined for various dosages using Monte Carlo simulations of a population pharmacokinetic model of lefamulin in ABSSSI patients and preclinical exposure targets associated with bacteriostasis and a 1-log reduction in bacterial count. Overall target attainment against MSSA and MRSA was calculated using lefamulin MIC distributions.
    Results: Overall attainment of the bacteriostasis target was 94% against MSSA and 84% against MRSA for the IV dosage approved for CABP (150 mg q12h). Using the same target, for the 100 mg q12h regimen, overall target attainment dropped to 68% against MSSA and 50% against MRSA. Using the 1-log reduction target, overall target attainment for both regimens was <40%.
    Conclusions: Lefamulin at the currently approved IV dosage covers most Staphylococcus aureus isolates when targeting drug exposure associated with bacteriostasis, suggesting potential of lefamulin for the treatment of ABSSSIs. Lefamulin may not be appropriate in ABSSSI when rapid bactericidal activity is warranted.

    Abstract Purpose: Due to constantly rising therapy costs, biosimilars and generic drugs have gained tremendous importance through recent decades. Nevertheless, the acceptance among healthcare workers regarding biosimilars and generic drugs in previously published international studies is considerably lower than the scientific data on equivalent safety and efficacy would suggest. The aim of this questionnaire-based survey was to determine the perception and knowledge regarding generic drugs and biosimilars by medical professionals from different healthcare facilities in Vienna, Austria.
    Methods: The online questionnaire was sent to public and religious hospitals in Vienna, including the university hospital "Vienna General Hospital." In addition, doctors' offices were reached by sending out the questionnaire in the weekly news of the Vienna Medical Association.
    Results: A total of 282 physicians and 311 graduated nurses took part in the study. 63% and 62% of the participants were convinced that generic respective biosimilar drugs were clinically equivalent to the original reference drug. On average, 1.6 out of 4 knowledge questions were answered correctly about generics, while only 0.87 out of 4 questions were answered accurately about biosimilars.
    Conclusion: The results of this study support the outcome from previous surveys demonstrating that a large proportion of healthcare professionals is still skeptical about generics and biosimilars. According to the results of this study, better education of the medical staff might ensure greater acceptance of these types of drugs.

    Abstract Antifungal drug development is essential as invasive fungal disease is still associated with a very high mortality rate and the emergence of resistant species in the last decade. In Europe, the European Medical Agency (EMA) approves antifungals and publishes the European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) including the information leading up to the authorisation. We looked at EMA-approved antifungals and their reports within the last 23 years. We focused primarily on the role of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic indices in antifungal development and the level of information depicted in their corresponding report. Furthermore, we investigated guidelines applicable to the development process at the time and compared the content with a focus on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies and preclinical requirements. Since 2000, six new antifungal substances have been authorised. Most were authorised for treatment of Candida infections or Aspergillus infections but also included rarer pathogens. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic indices were scarcely investigated and/or mentioned in the report. Current antifungal EMA guidelines started emphasising investigating pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic indices in 2010 and then again in 2016. It remains to be seen how this translates into the authorisation process for new antifungals.

Animal models are generally used in the preclinical development of new drugs to predict their effects in humans using translational pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD).
