While population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models have been developed for individual drugs across age groups, and cross-drug maturation models have been explored, it is unclear whether pooling data across aminoglycosides improves predictive performance. We developed and evaluated a unified multi-aminoglycoside popPK model spanning neonates, children, and adults. De-identified data from 5659 amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin patients at 154 US institutions were split into training and testing datasets. Predictive performance in the test dataset was evaluated using mean percent error, normalized root mean square error (nRMSE), and clinical accuracy (trough concentrations correctly classified as below or above 1 mg/L and non-troughs within 20% of observation), and compared with selected published popPK models. To assess generalizability, the final model was refit using single-drug datasets and leave-one-subgroup-out datasets. The unified model achieved the lowest nRMSE across age groups, with absolute reductions of 0.6%-24.8%. Clinical accuracy was highest for the unified model, with a posteriori accuracy in pediatric patients of 56.4% versus 48% in the best published model. Leave-one-out refits yielded similar estimates but reduced precision, while single-drug models demonstrated substantially reduced precision, and one such model was not identifiable. This unified model improved predictive performance across drugs and age groups and demonstrated robustness to exclusion of individual drug-age group combinations. These findings support use of a unified aminoglycoside model for Bayesian model-informed precision dosing and demonstrate the advantages of pooling drugs within a class and across developmental stages.</p>","PeriodicalId":48908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pharmacology","volume":"66 9","pages":"e70231"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13539281/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148882280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A population pharmacokinetic model was developed to characterize gotistobart pharmacokinetics and identify covariates contributing to inter-individual variability in patients with advanced solid tumors. Serum concentration-time data were obtained from 632 patients enrolled in three phase I-III clinical trials. In total, 3406 pharmacokinetic observations across a dose range from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg were collected. A two-compartment model with linear elimination best described the data, with inter-individual variability on clearance, central volume, and peripheral volume. Parameter estimates were precise, with typical values of 0.005 L/h for clearance, 0.021 L/h for inter-compartmental clearance, 2.59 L for central volume, and 3.43 L for peripheral volume. Covariates identified in the model included body weight and albumin on clearance and volumes, and sex on volumes, with limited clinically relevant impact. The model was evaluated using parameter precision, goodness-of-fit diagnostics, and prediction-corrected visual predictive checks. The model was used to simulate concentration-time profiles for clinically relevant dosing regimens. Simulations demonstrated the expected steady-state pharmacokinetic behavior, with dose-dependent increases in peak and trough concentrations. Compared with 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks, administration of two 10 mg/kg loading doses followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks accelerated the attainment of steady state.

Volumetric microsampling enables self-collection of small, fixed volume capillary samples for centralized analysis and may reduce hematocrit-related volumetric bias associated with conventional dried blood spots. This scoping review, conducted according to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews, synthesized 67 patient-cohort studies published from 2014 through 2026. Studies spanned at least 18 countries and multiple clinical specialties. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used in 61 studies (91%), and most reported validation using or referencing EMA, FDA, IATDMCT, or CLSI criteria. Recovery was minimally affected across evaluated hematocrit ranges for most analytes, and many analytes remained stable in dried samples, although stability varied by analyte and storage conditions. Where assessed, patient preference was high (80%-100%). However, interpretation against established plasma therapeutic ranges often required whole-blood-to-plasma or capillary-to-venous conversion, with inconsistent derivation and validation methods. Fixed conversion factors performed well for lacosamide and levetiracetam but were less reliable for lamotrigine at high concentrations. Several analyte-matrix combinations, including cefepime, vancomycin, meropenem, paclitaxel, abiraterone, and mitotane, did not consistently meet agreement criteria. Volumetric microsampling can support patient-centered drug monitoring when validated for the specific analyte, matrix, device, and clinical application.
