Population pharmacokinetic study in children with vascular anomalies: body weight as a key variable in predicting the initial dose and dosing frequency of sirolimus

The main challenges faced when using sirolimus in children with vascular anomalies (VAs) still include significant pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, uncertainty in the target concentration range, as well as inconsistencies in initial dosing and dosing frequency. The aim of this study is to establish a new population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model for children with VAs to guide the individualized use of sirolimus.
