Evaluation of an individualized dosing regimen of busulfan in children undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation

OBJECTIVE To assess target attainment of busulfan exposure using a new model-based dosing regimen and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Busulfan is an alkylating drug used in conditioning regimens for allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Its narrow therapeutic range in combination with large interindividual variability in exposure, even after intravenous administration, necessitates dose individualization. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS All children who underwent allo-HCT in 2011 or 2012 receiving busulfan-based conditioning were included. Intravenous busulfan was administered once daily on four consecutive days and drug levels were measured on days 1 and k. For each patient a 'hypothetical' exposure (cAUC) without TDM was determined by extrapolating the AUC of day 1. The 'true' cAUC was then estimated based on pharmacokinetic data obtained on days 1-4 including TDM-based dose adjustment. Means and ranges were compared between cAUCs determined with and without TDM-based dose corrections. Also target attainment rates (cAUC 80-100 mg-h/L] were compared between 'hypothetical' and 'true' exposure. RESULTS 50 patients were included. Without TDM mean cAUC was 85.3 mg-h/L versus 96.2 mg-h/L with TDM. The range in individual cAUCs was significantly larger without TDM than with TDM IP = 0.001 ). Without TDM 34% of patients reached target cAUC and with TDM this significantly increased to 70% of patients (P = 0.0011. CONCLUSION The weight-based dosing regimen overall led to a mean busulfan exposure within the target range, yet the interindividual variation was substantial. Therefore, TDM of intravenous busulfan remains recommended and is of utmost importance to reach optimal target exposure in order to optimize HCT outcomes

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study addresses the cost-effectiveness of add-on therapy with lamotrigine in clinical practice. METHODS: Two years' observational data of 165 patients were used. Seizure frequency, adverse effects and direct medical costs were recorded for the year before and the year after the start of lamotrigine add-on therapy. Therapy effectiveness was measured by: (1) reduction in seizure frequency and (2) retention time. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio expressed the direct medical cost per patient treated effectively with lamotrigine. RESULTS: The cost of medication was 492 (95% CI: 399-583) higher after the start of lamotrigine therapy. The extra cost of lamotrigine therapy (622) was partly offset by a reduction of the cost of co-medication (-130; 95% CI: -210 to -50). Overall, the total medical cost was 453 higher in the first year of lamotrigine therapy than in the year before the start of lamotrigine. Lamotrigine was effective in 47% of all the patients, making the resultant incremental cost-effectiveness ratio 954 per year. DISCUSSION: Add-on therapy of lamotrigine for patients with uncontrolled epilepsy offers improved health outcomes. Lamotrigine therapy is associated with increased cost (453) and an annual incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 954. These data, together with utility data published in the literature, support the notion that lamotrigine should be considered as an add-on therapy in for patients with refractory epilepsy
