Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3) is a lipid transporter expressed in alveolar type II cells and localized in the limiting membrane of lamellar bodies. It is crucial for pulmonary surfactant storage and homeostasis. Mutations in the ABCA3 gene are the most common genetic cause of respiratory distress syndrome in mature newborns and interstitial lung disease in children. Apart from lung transplantation, there is no cure available. To address the lack of causal therapeutic options for ABCA3 deficiency, a rapid and reliable approach is needed to investigate variant-specific molecular mechanisms and to identify pharmacological modulators for mono- or combination therapies. To this end, we developed a phenotypic cell-based assay to autonomously identify ABCA3 wild-type-like or mutant-like cells by using machine-learning algorithms aimed at identifying morphological differences in WT and mutant cells. The assay was subsequently used to identify new drug candidates for ABCA3 specific molecular correction by high-content screening of 1,280 food and drug administration-approved small molecules. Cyclosporin A (CsA) was identified as a potent corrector, specific for some, but not all ABCA3 variants. Results were validated by our previously established functional small format assays. Hence, CsA may be selected for orphan drug evaluation in controlled repurposing trials in patients.

Clin Exp Nephrol 2021; 26:154-161.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The currently used single-monitoring method for drug-blood-level evaluation in cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment for nephrotic syndrome (NS) was established through hourly measurements based on adult organ transplantation. However, the pharmacokinetics may differ due to different concomitant medications, age, and conditions. This study was conducted to determine the measurement timing that best reflects the CsA area under the curve (AUC) in pediatric NS. METHODS This retrospective study included children aged 2-14 years who were started on CsA treatment for idiopathic NS during 2013-2020. AUC0-4 was calculated from 7 points, before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 h after administration. Mean values at each timing were compared with age-dependent different drug forms. Correlation between AUC0-4 and measurement timing was analyzed. RESULTS There were 13 patients (11 boys) whose median age during testing was 7.3 years, and the total number of measurements was 94. The highest timing of CsA concentrations was found in C1 59.6%. The content liquid used at younger ages had a faster absorption time to peak value and lower blood concentration than those of capsules. Among the significant correlations observed, AUC0-4 and C1.5 showed the strongest significant correlation coefficient (r = 0.93, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In pediatric NS, CsA metabolism may be faster than that in previous organ transplantation. Compared with C2, C1.5 monitoring may result in better disease control as it can best reflect the AUC0-4 and peak values associated with side effects, which are indicators of therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressive drug. It has a narrow therapeutic index, and therefore the measurement of cyclosporine’s blood concentration is essential to obtain optimal therapy. Measurement of the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) is reflective of total drug exposure. However, for organ transplant patients, the measurement of AUC involves many problems and difficulties. Thus, it is more clinically acceptable to use a single blood sample as a surrogate index of total drug exposure. Fifty-four adults bone marrow transplant Iraqi patients were given cyclosporine every 12 h as prophylaxis using Neoral® oral solution. Steady-state blood concentrations were monitored for each patient at zero time and then at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and at 12 h post-dosing. Cyclosporine blood levels were determined by using AXSYM automated immuno-analyzer which is a fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA). The present investigation demonstrated the best correlation between C2 and the corresponding AUC0–4h and AUC0–12h compared to other concentrations. After two months of cyclosporine therapy, no unexpected biochemical changes and adverse effects were registered. It is concluded from this study that a single blood sample obtained at 2 h post-dosing (C2) and possibly at 3 h post dosing (C3) are ideal surrogate indexes for reflecting total drug exposure, and therefore may be used in clinical practice for predicting therapeutic and toxic effects of cyclosporine.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine A (CsA) in Asian children with renal impairment (RI) by developing a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model with Simcyp Simulator. The PBPK model of Asian children with RI was developed by modifying the physiological parameters of the built-in population libraries in Simcyp Simulator. The ratio of healthy and RI populations was obtained for each parameter showing a difference between the populations. Each ratio was multiplied by the corresponding parameter in healthy Asian children. The model verification was performed with published data of Korean children with kidney disease given multiple CsA administrations. Simulations were performed with different combinations of ethnicity, age, and renal function to identify the net impact of each factor. The simulated results suggested that the effect of RI was higher in children than adults for both Caucasian and Asian. In conclusion, the constructed model adequately characterized CsA pharmacokinetics in Korean children with RI. Simulations with populations categorized by ethnicity, age, and renal function enabled to assess the net impact of each factor on specific populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although tacrolimus therapy is not the first-line therapy for childhood nephrotic syndrome, it is often used instead of cyclosporine to ameliorate the side effects. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of tacrolimus (Tac) can be influenced by many conditions, and it has a high plasma protein binding. The Tac PK during relapse and remission of childhood nephrotic syndrome has not been well described. METHODS We performed 14 PK profiles (with measurements before intake and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 12 hours postintake) in 7 children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome at week 1 (all nephrotic) and week 16 after Tac therapy (all in remission). These data were compared with historical PK data of 161 PK profiles in 87 pediatric renal transplant recipients with measurements before intake and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours postintake. Tac levels were measured using the Abbott Tacro II assay. We used descriptive statistics to generate percentiles and compared these with those of patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. RESULTS The median age of patients with nephrotic syndrome was 3.2 years (range 2.5, 17.2), male gender 71.4%, significantly younger than the control group. Median Tac dose was similar during both PK profiles (0.11 mg·kg·d at week 1 versus 0.13 mg·kg·d at week 16, P = 0.81). There were no statistically significant differences in median dose-normalized area-under-the-time-concentration profiles, peak concentration, time to reach peak concentration, and Tac trough levels. Individual dose-normalized Tac levels for each time point during the PK profile were also not different (P = 0.81). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that Tac PK profiles are unaltered during relapse of nephrotic syndrome.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common problems in both paediatric and adult medicine. The aim of this study was to prospectively identify the ADRs causing hospital admission of children and identification of the risk factors and involved drugs. The study was performed at the University Hospital in Olomouc, Czech Republic. All patients aged 19 years or under admitted to hospital were included in the study, and all admissions for ADRs were prospectively screened for a period of 9 months. Suspected ADRs were subsequently evaluated in detail, and causality assessment was undertaken to determine whether each suspected reaction was possible, probable or definite. The assessment of ADR causality was performed using the Naranjo algorithm, the Liverpool ADR Causality Assessment Tool and the Edwards and Aronson causality assessment method. During the study period, 2903 admissions were identified; of these, there were 143 admissions of patients with an oncological disease. Sixty-four admissions (2.2%) were caused by an ADR. Anticancer chemotherapy accounted for 35% of the cases, followed by antibiotics (18%), immunosuppressants and vaccines (9% each). The use of different scoring systems does not lead to the differences in the numbers of ADR-diagnosed patient but may result in differences in the determination of the level of certainty. ADRs cause a substantial proportion of children's hospital admissions. The majority of the ADR-diagnosed patient affected the hematopoietic and gastrointestinal systems; the drugs most frequently involved were cytotoxic agents and antibiotics. The most important risk factors identified were female sex and oncological disease.
