Slide #2Pediatric Developmental Pharmacology

Slide #3

PK in Paediatric Populations

Developmental changes can significantly affect ADME

Majority of PK data in paediatric patients obtained in older children

Substantial intra and inter patient variability

Slide #4

Issues for dosing of ART in children

Large variability in pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters

– age (and PK data by age-group often sparse)

– effect of nutritional status

– ethnicity

Methods of dose calculation (per m2 or per kg)

Ability to give with/without food (ddI, NFV)

Slide #5Impact of Nutrition on PK(Can have a profound effect)

Diminished protein status in malnourished children

results in lower plasma proteins

Increasing concentrations of ‘free’ drug

Severely malnourished children have decreased

CYP450 metabolism

Reduced hepatic clearance

Severely malnourished children have decreased GFR

Reduced renal clearance

A Common CYP2B6 Variant Associated with EFV PK and CNS Side Effects

• A CYP2B6 polymorphism.

• More common in African-Americans than European-Americans.

• Associated with higher EFV levels, and increased CNS AE’s.

• Additional studies needed.

Slide #18Nelfinavir Troughs with TID and BID Dosing

* Gatti G, et al. Clin Infect Dis, 2003;36:1476-82.* Gatti G, et al. Clin Infect Dis, 2003;36:1476-82.

NFV PK were evaluated in 35 children (8.1 ± 3.5 yrs) receiving 20-30 mg/kg q8h or 50 mg/kg q12 h with food.

Trough values were:

– 1.55 mg/L (0.13-5.22 mg/L) for TID dosing

– 1.11 mg/L (nd-6.08 mg/L) with BID.

1/11 (9%) in TID group vs. 7/14 (50%) in BID group had values < 1 mg/L (p=0.042).

Slide #19

Nelfinavir Use in Children

The proportion of children 2-13 years of age achieving an HIV RNA level < 400 cpm through 48 wks ranged from 26-42%.

Response rates in children < 2 years of age appeared to be poorer than those ≥ 2 years.

Highly variable exposure remains a significant problem in the use of nelfinavir in pediatric patients.
