This study aims to investigate the effects on the pharmacokinetic (PK) of lacosamide (LCM), and to guide the individual dosing regimens for children and ones with poor medication adherence. Population PK research was performed based on 164 plasma samples of 113 pediatric patients aged from 1.75 to 14.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers developed a population pharmacokinetic model which revealed that linezolid has highly variable penetration into cerebrospinal fluid, with a notable link between plasma concentration and drug exposure in the cerebrospinal fluid.
  • * The results led to recommendations for customizing linezolid dosages based on individual factors such as kidney function and inflammation levels to enhance treatment effectiveness and reduce risks.

Sirolimus is confirmed to be effective in the treatment of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and related disorders. The study aims to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of oral sirolimus for children with TSC and provide an evidence-based approach for individualization of sirolimus dosing in the pediatric population. A total of 64 children were recruited in this multicenter, retrospective pharmacokinetic study.

The aims of this study were to establish a joint population pharmacokinetic model for voriconazole and its N-oxide metabolite in immunocompromised patients, to determine the extent to which the genetic polymorphisms influenced the pharmacokinetic parameters, and to evaluate and optimize the dosing regimens using a simulating approach. A population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted using the Phoenix NLME software based on 427 plasma concentrations from 78 patients receiving multiple oral doses of voriconazole (200 mg twice daily). The final model was assessed by goodness of fit plots, non-parametric bootstrap method, and visual predictive check.

The present study aims to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of ganciclovir and optimize the dosing regimen in critically ill children suffering from cytomegalovirus related disease. A total of 104 children were included in the study. The population pharmacokinetic model was developed using the Phoenix NLME program.

Knowledge of pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior of norvancomycin (NVCM) in pediatric patients is lacking, which leads to empirical therapy in clinical practice. This study developed a population PK model of children aged 0-15 years; 112 opportunistic samples in total from 90 children were analyzed. The stability and prediction of the final model were evaluated by goodness-of-fit plots, nonparametric bootstrap, visual predictive check, and normalized prediction distribution errors.

Linezolid is a synthetic antibiotic very effective in the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens. Although the clinical application of linezolid in children has increased progressively, data on linezolid pharmacokinetics in pediatric patients are very limited. The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for linezolid in children and optimize the dosing strategy in order to improve therapeutic efficacy.
