BackgroundSirolimus has recently been shown to be efficacious and tolerable in pediatric patients with complicated vascular anomalies. Nevertheless, dosing information remains very limited especially for neonates and infants. The purpose of this study was to develop an age-appropriate sirolimus starting dosing regimen based on the developmental changes in drug elimination capacity using data collected in neonates and infants. ProcedureA recently developed sirolimus maturation model [Emoto etal. CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol, 2016] was used to simulate clearance estimates using realistic age and weight covariates for age cohorts aged 0-24 months. Next, predose concentrations at steady state were generated for each age cohort of neonates and infants. Dose requirements to attain predefined target trough concentration ranges (10-15 and 5-10 ng/ml) were simulated across the different age groups. Starting doses were chosen to maximize the likelihood of achieving sirolimus-targeted concentrations. ResultsThe trajectory of simulated sirolimus clearances increased with age and was in agreement with the previous findings in the Phase 2 study. The proposed dosing regimens covered eight age cohorts and resulted in target attainment of more than 75-95% across selected regimens. ConclusionsThis study identified age-appropriate sirolimus dosing regimens for neonates and infants. The algorithm in combination with therapeutic drug management will facilitate sirolimus precision dosing in young children with vascular anomalies. A prospective evaluation is being planned.
