Population Pharmacokinetics and Target Attainment of Allopurinol and Oxypurinol Before, During, and After Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Neonates with Critical Congenital Heart Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The CRUCIAL trial (NCT04217421) is investigating the effect of postnatal and perioperative administration of allopurinol on postoperative brain injury in neonates with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) shortly after birth.

Objective

This study aimed to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of allopurinol and oxypurinol during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases in this population, and to evaluate target attainment of the current dosing strategy.

Methods

Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling was used to develop population PK models in 14 neonates from the CRUCIAL trial who received up to five intravenous allopurinol administrations throughout the postnatal and perioperativ
