Interventions to prevent & control pneumococcal disease

Prevention

Treatment

Protection

Policy Questions • How can we best (most cost-effectively) reduce pneumococcal disease burden through a combination of tools (vaccination, treatment)?

• Can increased treatment access reduce the burden of disease in the long term when drug resistance is likely?

• What is the value of treatment access improvements in countries with pneumo vaccination?

• What population level strategies (like multiple first line treatments or subsidized high quality antibiotics) can most address the challenge of resistance?

Outline • Introduction • Pneumococcal Models • PneuMOD

Why model pneumococci?

• How many lives could be saved?

• At what cost? § Purchase cost of interventions § Opportunity cost

• How certain are the answers?

• How could uncertainty be reduced?

What is a model?

How does a model of pneumococci work?

Low oral oavailability is the main cause of large inter-individual riability in blood concentrations (e.g. lumefantrine) [9]. ter-individual variability can be exacerbated by the use use of concomitant medications that interact with the

Pharmacokinetic studies have usually not been designed to describe adequately the relationship between drug concentrations over time [pharmacokinetics (PK)] and therapeutic response and drug safety [pharmacodynamics (PD)] (Box 2). As a result, most antimalarials have been introduced with dosage regimens derived from dose-finding studies in non-pregnant adult patients. These dosage regimens have often been too close to the minimum effective dose required, both for cost-saving and because of concerns over drug safety.
