Application of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling to Characterize the Effects of Age and Obesity on the Disposition of Levetiracetam in the Pediatric Population.
Background: Levetiracetam is an antiseizure medication used for several seizure types in adults and children aged 1 month and older; however, due to a lack of data, pharmacokinetic (PK) variability of levetiracetam is not adequately characterized in certain populations, particularly neonates, children younger than 2 years of age, and children older than 2 years of age with obesity.
Objective: This study aimed to address the gap by leveraging PK data from two prospective standard-of-care pediatric trials (n = 88) covering an age range from 1 month to 19 years, including those with obesity (64%), and applying a physiologically based PK (PBPK) modeling framework.
Methods: A published PBPK model of levetiracetam for children aged 2 years and older was extended to pediatric patients younger than 2 years of age and patients older than 2 years of age with obesity by accounting for the obesity and age-related changes in PK using PK-Sim® software. The prospective pediatric data, along with the literature data for neonates and children younger than 2 years of age, were used to evaluate the extended PBPK models.
Results: Overall, 82.4% of data fell within the 90% interval of model-predicted concentrations, with an average fold error within twofold of the accepted criteria. PBPK modeling revealed that children with obesity had lower weight-normalized clearances (0.053 L/h/kg) on average than children without obesity (0.063 L/h/kg). The effect of maturation was well-characterized, resulting in comparable PBPK-simulated, weight-normalized clearances for neonates and children younger than 2 years of age reported from the literature.
Conclusions: PBPK modeling simulations revealed that the current US FDA-labeled pediatric dosing regimen listed in the prescribing information can produce the required exposure of levetiracetam in these target populations with dose adjustments for children with obesity aged 4 years to younger than 16 years.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Pharmacokinetics promotes the continuing development of clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for the improvement of drug therapy, and for furthering postgraduate education in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.
Pharmacokinetics, the study of drug disposition in the body, is an integral part of drug development and rational use. Knowledge and application of pharmacokinetic principles leads to accelerated drug development, cost effective drug use and a reduced frequency of adverse effects and drug interactions.
