Pharmacokinetics of Budesonide Oral Suspension in Children and Adolescents With Eosinophilic Esophagitis.

ABSTRACT: The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of budesonide oral suspension (BOS) was evaluated during a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study in pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) (MPI 101-01/NCT00762073). Non-compartmental methods were used to calculate PK parameters in 37 patients after receiving morning doses of BOS, with volume and dose adjusted for age (low dose: 0.35 or 0.5 mg; high dose: 1.4 or 2.0 mg [2-9 or 10-18 years old, respectively]). Relationships between apparent oral clearance and volume of distribution, and bodyweight and body mass index were also evaluated. Budesonide systemic exposure increased with BOS dose. After oral administration, time to maximum plasma budesonide concentration occurred ~1 hour post dose and the half-life
