Limited Sampling Strategy Using End of Infusion and Six-Hour Concentrations Overestimates Intravenous Busulfan Clearance Compared With Standard Six-Point Sampling in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients.

Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring for busulfan (Bu) is important to improve outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, standard therapeutic drug monitoring requires multiple samples and is inconvenient, labor-intensive, and costly. Accordingly, a limited sampling strategy (LSS) was evaluated, using 2-point sampling at end of infusion and at 6 hours, and the area-under-the-curve and Bu clearances (CLs) were compared with the results obtained from the standard sampling strategy (SSS) using 5-6 samples.
