Table 4.

Cmax and AUC0−∞ predicted using population pharmacokinetic model in CYP2C19 non-PM obese children and adolescents, following the FDA-approved weight-tiered dosing, total body weight-based dosing, and lean body weight-based dosing, and published reported values in non-obese peers and adults.

A maximum dose of 80 mg was used in simulation; pharmacokinetic parameters are given as geometric mean or mean ± standard deviation (range), when available. AUC, area under the curve; Cmax, maximum serum concentration; FDA, US Food and Drug Administration; LBW, lean body weight; PM, CYP2C19 poor metabolizer; TBW, total body weight.
