Maternal-Neonatal Raltegravir Population Pharmacokinetics Modeling: Implications for Initial Neonatal Dosing.

ABSTRACT: Raltegravir readily crosses the placenta to the fetus with maternal use during pregnancy. After birth, neonatal raltegravir elimination is highly variable and often extremely prolonged, with some neonates demonstrating rising profiles after birth despite removal from the source of extrinsic raltegravir. To establish an appropriate dosing regimen, an integrated maternal-neonatal pharmacokinetics model was built to predict raltegravir plasma concentrations in neonates with in utero raltegravir exposure. Postnatal age and body weight were used as structural covariates. The model predicted rising or decreasing neonatal elimination profiles based on the time of maternal drug administration relative to time of birth and degree of in utero drug disposition into the central and peripheral compartments. Based on this model, it is recommended to delay the first oral dose of raltegravir until 1-2 days of age in those neonates born to mothers who received raltegravir during pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Project description:Ethionamide has proven efficacy against both drug-susceptible and some drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Limited information on its pharmacokinetics in children is available, and current doses are extrapolated from weight-based adult doses. Pediatric doses based on more robust evidence are expected to improve antituberculosis treatment, especially in small children. In this analysis, ethionamide concentrations in children from 2 observational clinical studies conducted in Cape Town, South Africa, were pooled. All children received ethionamide once daily at a weight-based dose of approximately 20?mg/kg of body weight (range, 10.4 to 25.3 mg/kg) in combination with other first- or second-line antituberculosis medications and with antiretroviral therapy in cases of HIV coinfection. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. The MDR-PK1 study contributed data for 110 children on treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, while the DATiC study contributed data for 9 children treated for drug-susceptible tuberculosis. The median age of the children in the studies combined was 2.6?years (range, 0.23 to 15 years), and the median weight was 12.5?kg (range, 2.5 to 66 kg). A one-compartment, transit absorption model with first-order elimination best described ethionamide pharmacokinetics in children. Allometric scaling of clearance (typical value, 8.88 liters/h), the volume of distribution (typical value, 21.4 liters), and maturation of clearance and absorption improved the model fit. HIV coinfection decreased the ethionamide bioavailability by 22%, rifampin coadministration increased clearance by 16%, and ethionamide administration by use of a nasogastric tube increased the rate, but the not extent, of absorption. The developed model was used to predict pediatric doses achieving the same drug exposure achieved in 50- to 70-kg adults receiving 750-mg once-daily dosing. Based on model predictions, we recommend a weight-banded pediatric dosing scheme using scored 125-mg tablets.
