Metoclopramide infusions are used to prevent nausea and vomiting in cancer patients during chemotherapy. 47 patients received metoclopramide during 109 chemotherapeutic treatments as a loading (dose range = 0.55 to 4.5 mg/kg over 15 minutes) and maintenance (dose range = 0.57 to 4.8 mg/kg over 8 hours) infusion. During and up to 24 hours after the end of the maintenance infusion between 4 and 10 blood samples were collected per tratment. Metoclopramide was analyzed in plasma by liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic and demographic data of 83 treatments were analyzed by the NONMEM program using a linear 2-compartment model. It was found that body weight and serum alkaline phosphatase activity explain some of the interindividual variability in clearance (CL). The typical pharmacokinetic parameters for an average individual (70kg, alkaline phosphatase = 100 IU/L) were: CL = 20 L/h; volume of distriubtion at steady state (Vdss) = 190L; terminal half-life = 8h. The interindividual variabilities in clearance, volume of central compartment and Vdss were 50%, 35% and 35%, respectively. The residual variability in plasma concentrations was estimated as 13%.
