Allometric Scaling of Clearance in Paediatric Patients: When Does the Magic of 0.75 Fade?
changes with and without maturation processes. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulation workflow was developed in R for 12,620 hypothetical drugs. In scenario one, only size-related changes in liver weight, hepatic blood flow, and glomerular filtration were
included in simulations of ‘true’ paediatric CLp. In a second scenario, maturation in unbound microsomal intrinsic clearance (CLint,mic), plasma protein concentration, and
haematocrit were also included in these simulated ‘true’ paediatric CLp values. For both scenarios, the prediction error (PE) of AS0.75-based paediatric CLp predictions was

A systematic assessment of its applicability is undertaken for scenarios considering size-related
changes with and without maturation processes. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulation workflow was developed in R for 12,620 hypothetical drugs. In scenario one, only size-related changes in liver weight, hepatic blood flow, and glomerular filtration were
included in simulations of ‘true’ paediatric CLp. In a second scenario, maturation in unbound microsomal intrinsic clearance (CLint,mic), plasma protein concentration, and
haematocrit were also included in these simulated ‘true’ paediatric CLp values. For both scenarios, the prediction error (PE) of AS0.75-based paediatric CLp predictions was
assessed, while, for the first scenario, an allometric exponent was also estimated based on ‘true’ CLp. In the first scenario, the PE of AS0.75-based paediatric CLp predictions
reached up to 278 % in neonates, and the allometric exponent was estimated to range from 0.50 to 1.20 depending on age and drug properties. In the second scenario,
the PE sensitivity to drug properties and maturation was higher in the youngest children, with AS0.75 resulting in accurate CLp predictions above 5 years of age. Using PBPK principles, there is no evidence for one unique allometric exponent in paediatric patients, even in scenarios that only consider size-related changes. As PE is most sensitive to the allometric exponent, drug properties and maturation in younger children, AS0.75 leads to increasingly worse predictions with decreasing age.Show less
