BackgroundMontelukast, a potent orally selective leukotriene-receptor antagonist, inhibits the action of cysteinyl-leukotriene in patients with asthma.Although pharmacokinetic studies of montelukast have been reported in Caucasian adults and children, and showed significant inter-individual variability on pharmacokinetics.None of pharmacokinetic study has been explored in Chinese children. Given the potential inter-ethnic difference, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of developmental factors and pharmacogenetics of CYP2C8 and SLCO2B1on Montelukast pharmacokinetics in Chinese paediatric patients.MethodsAfter oral administration with montelukast, opportunistic samples were collected from asthma children and plasma concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD) method. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using a nonlinear mixed-effects model approach (NONMEM V 7.2.0) and variants of CYP2C8 and SLCO2B1 were genotyped.ResultsFifty patients (age range 0.7–10.0 years) with asthma were enrolled in this study. The clearance of montelukast was significantly higher in subjects with SLCO2B1 c.935GA and c.935AAgenotype compared withSLCO2B1 c.935GGsubjects (0.94±0.26 versus 0.77±0.21, p=0.020). Weight was also found to be significantly corrected with montelukast clearance (p 0.0001).ConclusionsThe developmental pharmacogenetics of montelukast in Chinese children was evaluated. Weight and SLCO2B1 genotype showed independently significant impacts on theclearanceofmontelukast.Disclosure(s)Nothing to disclose.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate the distribution of CYP2C8 variants *3 and *5, as well as their effect on carbamazepine pharmacokinetic properties, in 40 epileptic pediatric patients on carbamazepine treatment. Genotyping was conducted using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and allele-specific (AS)-PCR methods, and steady-state carbamazepine plasma concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The CYP2C8 *3 and *5 polymorphisms were found at frequencies of 17.5 and 0.0%, respectively. After dose adjustment, there was a difference in daily dose in CYP2C8*3 carriers compared to non carriers [mean ± standard deviation (SD): 14.19 ± 5.39 vs. 15.46 ± 4.35 mg/kg; p = 0.5]. Dose-normalized serum concentration of carbamazepine was higher in CYP2C8*3 (mean ± SD: 0.54 ± 0.18 vs. 0.43 ± 0.11 mg/mL, p = 0.04), and the observed correlation between weight-adjusted carbamazepine dose and carbamazepine concentration after dose adjustment was significant only in CYP2C8*3 non carriers (r = 0.52, p = 0.002). However, the population pharmacokinetic analysis failed to demonstrate any significant effect of CYP2C8 *3 polymorphism on carbamazepine clearance [CL L/h = 0.215 + 0.0696*SEX+ 0.000183*DD]. The results indicated that the CYP2C8*3 polymorphism might not be of clinical importance for epilepsy treatment in pediatric populations.

ABSTRACTCiprofloxacin is used in neonates with suspected or documented Gram-negative serious infections. Currently, its use is off-label partly because of lack of pharmacokinetic studies. Within the FP7 EU project TINN (Treat Infection in NeoNates), our aim was to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin in neonates and young infants <3 months of age and define the appropriate dose in order to optimize ciprofloxacin treatment in this vulnerable population. Blood samples were collected from neonates treated with ciprofloxacin and concentrations were quantified by high-pressure liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using NONMEM software. The data from 60 newborn infants (postmenstrual age [PMA] range, 24.9 to 47.9 weeks) were available for population pharmacokinetic analysis. A two-compartment model with first-order elimination showed the best fit with the data. A covariate analysis identified that gestational age, postnatal age, current weight, serum creatinine concentration, and use of inotropes had a significant impact on ciprofloxacin pharmacokinetics. Monte Carlo simulation demonstrated that 90% of hypothetical newborns with a PMA of <34 weeks treated with 7.5 mg/kg twice daily and 84% of newborns with a PMA ≥34 weeks and young infants receiving 12.5 mg/kg twice daily would reach the AUC/MIC target of 125, using the standard EUCAST MIC susceptibility breakpoint of 0.5 mg/liter. The associated risks of overdose for the proposed dosing regimen were <8%. The population pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin was evaluated in neonates and young infants <3 months old, and a dosing regimen was established based on simulation.

IntroductionAnticipated or actual pain in neonates results in use of paracetamol for prolonged pain relief in many neonatal intensive care units. Clinical trials examining safety of paracetamol exposure in neonates have been of short duration (1–3 days) and hepatic biomarkers and paracetamol metabolism are rarely reported in the same studies.We aim to investigate the safety (hepatic tolerance) and effectiveness of prolonged paracetamol exposure in neonates by measuring hepatic biomarkers, plasma concentrations of paracetamol and its metabolites and pain scores. In addition, we study a possible interaction between ethanol and paracetamol.Methods and analysisA multicentre interventional cohort study.Neonates of any gestational age and up to 44 weeks postmenstrual age, treated with oral or intravenous paracetamol can be included.Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and bilirubin are measured at baseline or within 24 hours after treatment initiation. P-paracetamol and metabolites are measured at steady state and every 2 days (opportunistically) together with ALT and bilirubin and lastly after discontinuation of treatment. COMFORT neo pain scores are collected longitudinally. COMFORT neo pain scores and population pharmacokinetic analysis of paracetamol samples will be analysed simultaneously using non-linear mixed effects models. One and two compartment models with first-order elimination will be tested for disposition. In addition, plasma ethanol is measured if the patient receives concomitant treatment with intravenous or oral phenobarbital containing ethanol as an excipient.Ethics and disseminationInclusion of patients can be postponed 24 hours after the first paracetamol dose. This is intended to make the inclusion process less stressful for parents. This study uses standard dosing strategies. The potential risks are additional blood samples, which are collected opportunistically to reduce additional heel pricks.Trial registrationnumberEthics Comittee: H-17027244, EudraCT no: 2017-002724-25, BFH-2017–106, 05952.

A population pharmacokinetic analysis of delamanid and its major metabolite DM-6705 was conducted to characterize the pharmacokinetics of delamanid and DM-6705 in pediatric participants with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Data from participants between the ages of 0.67 to 17 years old, enrolled in 2 clinical trials, were utilized for the analysis. The final dataset contained 634 delamanid and 706 DM-6705 valid plasma concentrations from 37 children. A transit model with three compartments best described the absorption of delamanid. Two compartment models for each component with linear elimination were selected to characterize the disposition of delamanid and DM-6705, respectively. The covariates included in the model were body weight on apparent volume of distribution and apparent clearance (for both delamanid and DM-6705); formulation (dispersible vs film coated tablet) on mean absorption time; age, formulation, and dose on bioavailability of delamanid; age on the fraction of delamanid metabolized to DM-6705. Based on the simulations, doses for participants within different age/weight groups that result in delamanid exposure comparable to that in adults following the approved adult dose were calculated. By concentration-QTc (QTcB, QT corrected by Bazett’s' formula) analysis, a significant positive correlation was detected with concentrations of DM-6705. However, the model-predicted upper bounds of the 90% confidence intervals of ΔQTc value were less than 10 ms at the simulated Cmax of DM-6705 following administration of maximum doses simulated. This suggests that the effect on the QT interval following the proposed dosing is unlikely to be clinically meaningful in children with MDR-TB who receive delamanid.

ABSTRACT Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic active against a wide variety of bacteria, is one of a few antibiotics which enters the human eye after oral administration. However, little is known about its pharmacokinetics in the human eye. One or two oral doses of 750 mg of ciprofloxacin (at a 12-h interval) were administered to 48 patients at various times prior to ocular surgery. Clotted blood, aqueous, and vitreous were collected at surgery, and the concentrations of ciprofloxacin were assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Our data were combined with those of others, and a population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted. The concentrations of ciprofloxacin in both aqueous and vitreous were lower than those in serum and peaked at a later time. The pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin in aqueous and vitreous were fitted to a compartmental model in which the antibiotic was transferred into and out of the two compartments (aqueous and vitreous) by first-order processes. Population pharmacokinetic software, P-Pharm, was used to calculate the mean half-lives of the loss of ciprofloxacin from aqueous and vitreous, which were 3.5 and 5.3 h, respectively. At steady state, the mean ratios of then concentrations in aqueous and vitreous to the concentrations in serum were 23 and 17%, respectively. After the administration of one or two doses of 750 mg of ciprofloxacin, the concentrations in both aqueous and vitreous in a number of patients were lower than the MICs at which 90% of isolates are inhibited (0.5 mg/liter) for common intraocular bacterial pathogens. Simulations of concentrations in the eye after the administration of higher doses (1,500 mg of ciprofloxacin as a single dose, two doses of 750 mg 2 h apart, and 750 mg every 6 h) indicated that in approximately 20% of patients the concentrations would still be below 0.5 mg/liter. Although oral ciprofloxacin may be a beneficial adjunctive therapy, the use of oral ciprofloxacin alone may not be adequate for perioperative prophylaxis or for treatment of bacterial endophthalmitis.

PurposeTo assess the cytotoxicity and the exposure of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) in children during high-dose therapy with an intravenous (IV) formulation of busulfan containing the potentially hepatotoxic and neurotoxic DMA as a solvent.Patients and MethodsEighteen children aged 0.9 to 17.3 years (median age, 4.0 years) received IV busulfan in 15 doses of 0.7 to 1.0 mg/kg busulfan containing overall DMA amounts of between 5 mmol (437 mg) and 70.5 mmol (6,142 mg) per dose. Plasma concentrations of DMA and busulfan were quantified and analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. Four different leukemic cell lines were incubated with DMA, and cytotoxicity was assessed in comparison with busulfan as well as in a combination reflecting the ratio in the formulation.ResultsMaximal plasma concentrations of DMA up to 3.09 mmol/L were observed. No accumulation of the solvent occurred. Instead, the trough levels decreased over the 4 treatment days. The population pharmacokinetic analysis revealed a clearance of 86.9 mL h−1kg−1± 27% that increased to 298 mL h−1kg−1on the fourth day and a volume of distribution of 469 mL kg ± 22% (population mean ± interindividual variability). DMA volume of distribution correlated with the volume of distribution of busulfan. The cytotoxicity of DMA in vitro was 3 orders of magnitude lower than that of busulfan. No synergism was observed.ConclusionThe lack of accumulation of DMA confirms that there is no safety concern related to the DMA content in this IV busulfan formulation. The contribution of DMA to the antileukemic effect of the formulation seems to be limited.

Pazopanib is a potent multi-targeted kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma. The pharmacokinetics of pazopanib is characterized by a significant inter- and intra-patient variability and a target through plasma concentration of 20.5 mg·L−1. However, routine monitoring of trough plasma concentrations at fixed hours is difficult in daily practice. Herein, we aimed to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of pazopanib and to identify a target area under the curve (AUC) more easily extrapolated from blood samples obtained at various timings after drug intake. A population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model was constructed to analyze pazopanib PK and to estimate the pazopanib clearance of a patient regardless of the time of sampling. Data from the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of patients with cancer at Institute Gustave Roussy and a clinical study (phase I/II) that evaluates the tolerance to pazopanib were used. From the individual clearance, it is then possible to obtain the patient’s AUC. A target AUC for maximum efficacy and minimum side effects of 750 mg·h·L−1 was determined. The comparison of the estimated AUC with the target AUC would enable us to determine whether plasma exposure is adequate or whether it would be necessary to propose therapeutic adjustments.
