Two PK studies in children have been published. No effect of age on the PK of blinatumomab has been found. However, the PK behavior of antibodies in infants is known.

Level 1

Population PK model including infants

Author Method Number of Patients/Infants(<1yrs) Age(yr), Median(range) Age related findings
Clements (2020) One compartment popPK model.BSA was included as covariate on CL. 674 / >2 (Fig. 1b) 41.0 (0.6-80) No effect of age on BSA-normalized CL (L/h/m2). Dosing should be based on BSA in younger patients.

Level 3

Non-compartmental PK study or PK model without infants

Author Method Number of Patients/Infants(<1yrs) Age(yr), Median(range) Age related findings
Von Stackelberg (2016) Non-compartmental pharmacokinetics 49 / NS - Phase I,44 / NS - Phase II 6 (<1-16) - Phase I, 10.5 (<1-17) -Phase II Pharmacokinetics consistent between age groups.
