Popis: BACKGROUND Recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor (rhC1-INH) is indicated in the United States for the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in adolescents and adults; it is also indicated in Europe for children aged 2 years and older. A need exists for further insight into potential pharmacokinetic (PK) differences in functional C1-INH levels by age (ie, children, adolescents, and adults). OBJECTIVE To perform population PK modeling to predict C1-INH levels by age after by age rhC1-INH administration. METHODS Data from a phase 2 pediatric trial (children aged 4-13 years at screening) were added to a database of 6 trials in adults and adolescents. An unpublished population PK model was refined and used to simulate C1-INH exposure. RESULTS Analysis included 153 individuals (14 healthy volunteers; 139 patients with HAE) and 1788 functional C1-INH measurements (59 from 20 patients in the pediatric trial). Bodyweight (population weight, 16-128 kg) was a key predictor of C1-INH volume of distribution. Age was not a predictor of C1-INH PK after the inclusion of bodyweight in the model. Simulations of the recommended rhC1-INH dosing regimen (bodyweight
