Mechanistic Population Pharmacokinetic Model of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate Accounting for Physiological Changes to Predict Exposures in Neonates and Infants.

ABSTRACT: A mechanistic population-pharmacokinetic model was developed to predict oseltamivir exposures in neonates and infants accounting for physiological changes during the first 2 years of life. The model included data from 13 studies, comprising 436 subjects with normal renal function (317 pediatric subjects (≥ 38 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), ≥ 13 days old) and 119 adult subjects < 40 years). Concentration-time profiles of oseltamivir and its active metabolite, oseltamivir carboxylate (OC), were characterized by a four-compartment model, with absorption described by three additional compartments. Renal maturational changes were implemented by description of OC clearance with allometric function of weight and Hill function of PMA. Clearance of OC increased with weight up to 43 kg (allometric coefficient 0.75). Half the adult OC clearance was reached at a PMA of 45.6 weeks (95% confidence interval (CI) 41.6-49.6) with a Hill coefficient of 2.35 (95% CI 1.67-3.04). The model supports the European Union/United States-approved 3 mg/kg twice-daily oseltamivir dose for infants < 1 year (PMA ≥ 38 weeks) and allows prediction of exposures in preterm neonates.

Project description:Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models are an essential tool when implementing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and to overcome dosing challenges in neonates in clinical practice. Since vancomycin, gentamicin, and amikacin are among the most prescribed antibiotics for the neonatal population, we aimed to characterize the popPK models of these antibiotics and the covariates that may influence the pharmacokinetic parameters in neonates and infants with no previous pathologies. We searched the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases and the bibliographies of relevant articles from inception to the beginning of February 2024. The search identified 2064 articles, of which 68 met the inclusion criteria (34 for vancomycin, 21 for gentamicin, 13 for amikacin). A one-compartment popPK model was more frequently used to describe the pharmacokinetics of the three antibiotics (91.2% vancomycin, 76.9% gentamicin, 57.1% amikacin). Pharmacokinetic parameter (mean ± standard deviation) values calculated for a "typical" neonate weighing 3 kg were as follows: clearance (CL) 0.34 ± 0.80 L/h for vancomycin, 0.27 ± 0.49 L/h for gentamicin, and 0.19 ± 0.07 L/h for amikacin; volume of distribution (Vd): 1.75 ± 0.65 L for vancomycin, 1.54 ± 0.53 L for gentamicin, and 1.67 ± 0.27 L for amikacin for one-compartment models. Total body weight, postmenstrual age, and serum creatinine were common predictors (covariates) for describing the variability in CL, whereas only total body weight predominated for Vd. A single universal popPK model for each of the antibiotics reviewed cannot be implemented in the neonatal population because of the significant variability between them. Body weight, renal function, and postmenstrual age are important predictors of CL in the three antibiotics, and total body weight for Vd. TDM represents an essential tool in this population, not only to avoid toxicity but to attain the desired pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic index. The characteristics of the neonatal population, coupled with the lack of prospective studies and external validation of most models, indicate a need to continue investigating the pharmacokinetics of these antibiotics in neonates.
