ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Cyclosporin has been used for the treatment of pediatric refractory nephrotic syndrome (PRNS). However, the narrow therapeutic window and large pharmacokinetic variability make it difficult to individualize cyclosporin administration. Meanwhile, spironolactone has been reported to affect cyclosporin metabolism in PRNS patients. This study aims to explore the initial dosage optimization of cyclosporin in PRNS based on the impact of spironolactone co-administration.METHODS:
Monte Carlo simulation based on a previously established cyclosporin population pharmacokinetic model for PRNS was used to design cyclosporin dosing regimen.RESULTS:
In this study, the probability of drug concentration reaching the target and the convenience of times of administration were considered comprehensively. The optimal administration regimen in PRNS without spironolactone was 6, 5, 4 and 3 mg/kg cyclosporin split into two doses for the body weight of 5-8, 8-18, 18-46 and 46-70 kg, respectively. The optimal administration regimen in PRNS with spironolactone was 4, 3, 2 mg/kg cyclosporin split into two doses for body weight of 5-14, 14-65, and 65-70 kg, respectively.CONCLUSION:
The cyclosporin dosing regimen for PRNS based on Monte Carlo simulation was systematically developed and the initial dosage optimization of cyclosporin in PRNS was recommended for the first time.Palabras clave
