ABSTRACT
Intractable lymphatic malformations (iLM) pose a significant threat to affected children, demonstrating limited responses to conventional treatments. Sirolimus, effectively inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation in lymphatic vessels, plays a crucial role in iLM treatment. However, the drug's narrow therapeutic window and substantial interindividual variability necessitate customized dosing strategies. This study aims to establish a Population Pharmacokinetic Model (PopPK model) for sirolimus in pediatric iLM patients, identifying quantitative relationships between covariates and sirolimus clearance and volume of distribution. Initial dosages are recommended based on a target concentration range of 5-15 ng/mL. Retrospective data from our institution, encompassing 53 pediatric patients with 275 blood concentration results over the past five years (average age 4.64 ± 4.19 years), constituted the foundation of this analysis. The final model, adopting a first-order absorption and elimination single-compartment model, retained age as the sole covariate. Results indicated a robust correlation between apparent clearance (CL/F) at 5.56 L/h, apparent volume of distribution (V/F) at 292.57 L, and age. Monte Carlo simulation guided initial dosages for patients aged 0-18 years within the target concentration range. This study presents the first PopPK model using a large Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) database to describe personalized sirolimus dosing for pediatric iLM patients, contributing to pharmacokinetic guidance and potentially improving long-term clinical outcomes.
