PG - 6-11 LID - S1094-5539(16)30128-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.pupt.2017.01.007 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling (PBPK) software in paediatric asthma patients using intravenous aminophylline. METHODS: Prospective clinical audit of children receiving iv aminophylline (July 2014 to June 2016), and in-silico modelling using Simcyp software. RESULTS: Thirty-eight admissions (25 children) were included. Children with aminophylline levels >/=10 mg/l had equivalent clinical outcomes compared to those <10 mg/L, and adverse effects occurred in 57%. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) data correlated well with PBPK model. PBPK modelling of a 5 mg/kg iv loading dose ( 20 mg/L. For an aminophylline infusion (0-12 y) of 1.0 mg/kg/h, the mean steady state infusion concentration was 16.4 mg/L, (5th-95th centiles 5.3-32 mg/L), with 26.8% having a serum concentration >20 mg/L. For 12-18yr receiving 0.5 mg/kg/h infusion, the mean steady state infusion concentration was 9.37 mg/L (5th-95th centiles 3.4-18 mg/L), with 59.8% having a serum concentration <10 mg/L. CONCLUSION: PBPK software modelling correlates well with clinical data. Current aminophylline iv loading dosage recommendations achieve levels <10 mg/l in 70% of children. Routine TDM may need altering as low risk of toxicity (>20 mg/l). CI - Copyright (c) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
