Abstract
Background: Adalimumab has been approved for treating juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). This study aimed to develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for adalimumab in JIA patients to optimize personalized treatment.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search identified 13 clinical studies as the dataset for constructing and validating a PBPK model of adalimumab. Initially, a PBPK model for adalimumab in adults was constructed using PK-Sim and Mobi software. Subsequently, virtual pediatric populations were created by incorporating age-dependent parameters from the PK-Sim database, extending the model to JIA patients. Finally, based on the developed PBPK model for adalimumab in JIA patients, dosing regimens were evaluated for different age groups.
Results: This study successfully developed and validated a PBPK model for adalimumab in both adult and pediatric populations. The model for adults accurately predicted 92.90% of the concentrations within 0.5-2 times the observed values, while the pediatric model predicted 90.62% of the concentrations within 0.5-2-fold range. For pediatric patients with JIA, age- and weight-based dosing is recommended to achieve trough concentrations comparable to those in adults.
Conclusion: A PBPK model for adalimumab in pediatric patients with JIA was developed, providing a basis for personalized dosing regimens in this population.
期刊介绍:
Advances in drug development technologies are yielding innovative new therapies, from potentially lifesaving medicines to lifestyle products. In recent years, however, the cost of developing new drugs has soared, and concerns over drug resistance and pharmacoeconomics have come to the fore. Adverse reactions experienced at the clinical trial level serve as a constant reminder of the importance of rigorous safety and toxicity testing. Furthermore the advent of pharmacogenomics and ‘individualized’ approaches to therapy will demand a fresh approach to drug evaluation and healthcare delivery.
Clinical Pharmacology provides an essential role in integrating the expertise of all of the specialists and players who are active in meeting such challenges in modern biomedical practice.
