Global estimates and determinants of antituberculosis drug pharmacokinetics in children and adolescents: a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Background Suboptimal exposure to antituberculosis drugs has been associated with unfavourable treatment outcomes. We aimed to investigate estimates and determinants of first-line antituberculosis drug pharmacokinetics in children and adolescents at a global level. Methods We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science (1990–2021) for pharmacokinetic studies of first-line antituberculosis drugs in children and adolescents. Individual patient data were obtained from authors of eligible studies. Summary estimates of total/extrapolated area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0–24) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) were assessed with random-effects models, normalised with current WHO-recommended paediatric doses. Determinants of AUC0–24 and Cmax were assessed with linear mixed-effects models. Results Of 55 eligible studies, individual patient data were available for 39 (71%), including 1628 participants from 12 countries. Geometric means (95% CIs) of steady-state AUC0–24 were summarised for isoniazid (18.7 [15.5−22.6] h˙mg˙L−1), rifampicin (34.4 [29.4−40.3] h˙mg˙L−1), pyrazinamide (375.0 [339.9−413.7] h˙mg˙L−1), and ethambutol (8.0 [6.4−10.0] h˙mg˙L−1). Our multivariate models indicated that younger age (especially \textless2 years) and HIV-positive status were associated with lower AUC0–24 for all antituberculosis drugs, while severe malnutrition was associated with lower AUC0–24 for isoniazid and pyrazinamide. N-acetyltransferase 2 rapid acetylators had lower isoniazid AUC0–24 and slow acetylators had higher isoniazid AUC0–24 than intermediate acetylators. Determinants of Cmax were generally similar to those for AUC0–24. Conclusion This study provides the most comprehensive estimates of plasma exposures to first-line antituberculosis drugs in children and adolescents. Key determinants of drug exposures were identified. These may be relevant for population-specific dose adjustment or individualised therapeutic drug monitoring.
