Article Synopsis
  • The study develops a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model of mycophenolic acid (MPA) specifically for pediatric patients with various diseases, using electronic medical records and previous pharmacokinetic studies.
  • A non-linear mixed-effects modeling approach was utilized to estimate key PK parameters such as apparent clearance and volume of distribution while considering patient backgrounds and other variables.
  • Analysis of data from 249 patients led to a two-compartment model showing a nonlinear relationship between dosage and MPA exposure, with specific PK parameters estimated for different patient groups.
