Pantoprazole AUC0−∞ predicted using population
pharmacokinetic model in obese children (n=18) and adolescents (n=19) following
total body weight (TBW)-based dosing (1 mg/kg TBW), lean body weight (LBW)-based
dosing (1.2 mg/kg LBW), and FDA-approved weight-tiered pantoprazole dosing (20
mg for weight 15–39 kg and 40 mg for weight ≥40 kg), compared to
published reported values in adults. Dashed lines represent the range of data
from a one-time oral administration of 40 mg pantoprazole to adult extensive
metabolizers. The total body weight (median [range]) was 53.9
(32.4–123.4) for obese children, 98.6 (67.2–131.6) for obese
adolescents, and 79.2 (32.4–131.6) for all.
