Brief Summary:
This study is based on the hypothesis that the pharmacokinetics of fluconazole in newborns and children are different from adults. We aim to study the population pharmacokinetics of newborns and children receiving the fluconazole for treatment of infectious diseases. In this study, we will detect fluconazole concentration in plasma by using residual blood samples of blood gas analysis and other clinical tests and employ computers for constructing population pharmacokinetic models. In addition, we also want to correlate use of fluconazole with treatment effectiveness and incidence of adverse effects in newborns and children. This novel knowledge will allow better and more rational approaches to the treatment of infectious diseases in newborns and children. It will also set the foundation for further studies to improve fluconazole therapies for newborns and children.
Detailed Description:
1. Establish population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models of fluconazole in newborns and children by nonlinear mixed effect modeling (NONMEM).
At different timepoint after fluconazole administration, plasma samples of 50 newborns and children will be collected from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and pneumology department for fluconazole. The clinical information includes demography, medication, concentration data, blood biochemical parameters and so on .
Plasma samples will be tested by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). PPK models of fluconazole will be established by NONMEM program. The reliability and stability of the PPK model will be evaluated by 1000 times of Bootstrap procedure and normalized predictive distribution error (NPDE).
2. Evaluation of the clinical feasibility and safety of individualized dosing.
According the results of PPK models, we will use dosages recommended in models to cure children infectious diseases in prospective studies. For fluconazole, 150 newborns and children will be collected.
We will compare the therapeutic effects and safety between newborns and children with conventional therapies and those with individualized therapies, including proportions of newborns and children with effective fluconazole concentration, improvement speed of of newborns and children, liver and kidney functions, adverse reactions of drugs, and so on.
