Fludarabine

Some PK studies in children have been published, however, the number of infants was limited. No effect of age on the PK of fludarabine has been found.

Level 1

Population PK model including infants

Author Method Number of Patients/Infants(<1yrs) Age(yr), Median(range) Age related findings
Ivaturi (2017) Two compartment popPK model. Allometric scaling for BW. eGFR was included as covariate on CL. 133 / NS 5 (0.2-17.9) No effect of age on CL, normalized to BW.
Langenhorst (2019) Three compartment popPK model. Allometric scaling for BW. eGFR was included as covariate on CL. 258 / NS 18 (0.3-74) After accounting for covariates, no size-independent effect of age was identified.

Level 2

PK model including infants or PopPK model without infants

Author Method Number of Patients/Infants(<1yrs) Age(yr), Median(range) Age related findings
Chung (2019) Two compartment popPK model. Allometric scaling for BSA. eGFR was included as covariate on CL. 43 / 0 11.8 (1.3-18.5) No effect of age on CL, normalized to BSA.
