Remedial Dosing Recommendations for Sirolimus Delayed or Missed Dosages Caused by Poor Medication Compliance in Pediatric Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Patients. Curr Pharm Des 2024; 30:877-886. [PMID: 38454763 DOI: 10.2174/0113816128299479240213151714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed or missed dosages caused by poor medication compliance significantly affected the treatment of diseases in children. AIMS The present study aimed to investigate the influence of delayed or missed dosages on sirolimus pharmacokinetics (PK) in pediatric tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) patients and to recommend remedial dosages for nonadherent patients. METHODS A published sirolimus population PK model in pediatric TSC patients was used to assess the influence of different nonadherence scenarios and recommend optimally remedial dosages based on Monte Carlo simulation. Thirteen nonadherent scenarios were simulated in this study, including delayed 2h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 10 h, 12 h, 14 h, 16 h, 18 h, 20 h, 22 h, 23.5 h, and missed one dosage. Remedial dosing strategies contained 10-200% of scheduled dosages. The optimal remedial dosage was that with the maximum probability of returning the individual therapeutic range. RESULTS For delayed or missed sirolimus dosages in pediatric TSC patients, when the delayed time was 0-8 h, 8-10 h, 10-18 h, 18-22.7 h, 22.7-24 h, 70%, 60%, 40%, 30%, 20% scheduled dosages were recommended to take immediately. When one dosage was missed, 120% of scheduled dosages were recommended at the next dose. CONCLUSION It was the first time to recommend remedial dosages for delayed or missed sirolimus therapy caused by poor medication compliance in pediatric TSC patients based on Monte Carlo simulation. Meanwhile, the present study provided a potential solution for delayed or missed dosages in clinical practice.

Abstract
Considering the significant interindividual variability and a narrow therapeutic index, we aimed to determine the population pharmacokinetics (PPK) of sirolimus and identify the factors in Chinese adult liver transplant recipients.Data were retrospectively extracted from adult liver transplant recipients receiving sirolimus in our hospital. The trough blood concentration data, obtained from traditional therapeutic drug monitoring-based dose adjustments, were used to develop a population pharmacokinetic model by non-linear mixed-effects modelling (NONMEM). The effect of demographic features, biological characteristics and concomitant medications was measured. The final model was verified by visual prediction check (VPC), bootstrap, and simulation.One hundred and sixteen blood concentrations from 63 patients were analysed. The PPK of sirolimus could be described by a one-compartment model with first-order absorption. Covariate analysis indicated that voriconazole co-therapy significantly decreased the oral clearance (CL) of sirolimus. The results of VPC and Bootstrap demonstrated that the final pharmacokinetic model adequately predicted observed concentrations. The simulation results showed that the dosage regimen of sirolimus should be reduced to 0.25 ∼ 0.45 mg/day for adult liver transplant recipients co-administered with voriconazole. The present study developed and validated a sirolimus PPK model for Chinese adult liver transplant recipients, and voriconazole co-therapy was found to be a significant covariate in the model. These results provide important information for clinicians to optimise the treatment regimens of sirolimus in Chinese adult liver transplant recipients.

[PMID: 34819851 PMCID: PMC8606893 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.668952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Sirolimus is an effective oral treatment for pediatric patients with lymphangioma. The present clinical study in 15 children (0.12–16.39 years of age) examines the effects of underlying factors on sirolimus concentrations through application of a population pharmacokinetic model. Using Monte Carlo simulation, an initial dose regimen for sirolimus in pediatric patients with lymphangioma is presented. It is found that the lower the body weight, the higher the clearance rate and sirolimus clearances are 0.31–0.17 L/h/kg in pediatric patients with lymphangioma whose weights are 5–60 kg, respectively. The doses of sirolimus, 0.07, 0.06, 0.05 mg/kg/day are recommended for weights of 5–10, 10–24.5 and 24.5–60 kg in children with lymphangioma. This study is the first to establish a population pharmacokinetic model for sirolimus and to recommend initial doses in pediatric patients with lymphangioma. Large scale, prospective studies are needed in the future.

Efficacy of Initial Sirolimus Therapy for 27 Patients with Intractable Lymphatic Malformations. Laryngoscope 2021; 131:1902-1908. [PMID: 33571378 DOI: 10.1002/lary.29419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the efficacy of initial sirolimus therapy in the treatment of intractable head and neck lymphatic malformations (LMs) in children. STUDY DESIGN Prospective open-label study. METHODS In this study, Twenty-seven children diagnosed with LMs were given oral sirolimus as primary treatment over a minimum 6-month trial. The major parameter to evaluate therapeutic outcome was percentage of lesion volume change compared with baseline. Average serum sirolimus concentrations, and adverse side effects, were monitored throughout the study period. RESULTS Fifteen girls and twelve boys, average age 27 months (16 days-171 months), constitute the study group. Treatment was deemed effective for twenty-three participants, judged as fair in seven, good in nine, and excellent in seven. Two patients had minimal improvement, and two had increased volume to some degree. Effectiveness differed among LMs subtypes with responsiveness of macrocystic LMs exceeding that of microcystic LMs (P < .05). Adverse drug reactions totaled 27 events in ten patients, the majority being mild with upper respiratory infections being most common. CONCLUSIONS Sirolimus as initial therapy is effective in decreasing lesion volume in intractable LMs in head and neck region, especially in macrocystic subtypes. Although most cases cannot be completely cured, side effects are few and tolerable. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 131:1902-1908, 2021.
