Population Analysis of Anidulafungin in Infants to Older Adults With Confirmed or Suspected Invasive Candidiasis.

ABSTRACT: In a pooled population analysis, we investigated the pharmacokinetics of i.v. anidulafungin in four studies across a full range of adult and pediatric ages in patients with confirmed, suspected, or at high risk of invasive candidiasis (IC). Relationships between anidulafungin exposure and key efficacy end points (global response of success and all-cause mortality) and safety end points (all-cause hepatic or gastrointestinal adverse events) in all patients and separately in pediatric patients and the appropriate dosing regimen for IC treatment in pediatric patients were evaluated. Pediatric patients received a 3.0 mg/kg (maximum 200 mg) i.v. loading dose and 1.5 mg/kg (maximum 100 mg) daily thereafter. Adults received a 200 mg i.v. loading dose and 100 mg daily thereafter.
