Abstract
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling can be an attractive tool to increase the evidence base of pediatric drug dosing recommendations by making optimal use of existing pharmacokinetic (PK) data. A pragmatic approach of combining available compound models with a virtual pediatric physiology model can be a rational solution to predict PK and hence support dosing guidelines for children in real-life clinical care, when it can also be employed by individuals with little experience in PBPK modeling. This comes within reach as user-friendly PBPK modeling platforms exist and, for many drugs and populations, models are ready for use. We have identified a list of drugs that can serve as a starting point for pragmatic PBPK modeling to address current clinical dosing needs.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Drugs promotes the optimization and advancement of all aspects of pharmacotherapy for healthcare professionals interested in pediatric drug therapy (including vaccines). The program of review and original research articles provides healthcare decision makers with clinically applicable knowledge on issues relevant to drug therapy in all areas of neonatology and the care of children and adolescents. The Journal includes:
-overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
-comprehensive narrative reviews of topics relating to the effective and safe management of drug therapy through all stages of pediatric development.
-practical reviews covering optimum drug management of specific clinical situations.
-systematic reviews that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
-Adis Drug Reviews of the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs in the pediatric population.
-original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies with a strong link to clinical practice, such as clinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, outcomes research, and pharmacoeconomic and pharmacoepidemiological studies.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Pediatric Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
