Our objectives were to: (1) determine the pharmacokinetic [PK] indices of vancomycin in pediatric patients; and (2) compare attainment of two target exposures: AUC/MIC ≥ 400 and trough concentration ≥ 15 mcg/mL. The population-based PK modeling was performed using NONMEM 7.2 for children ≥ 3 months old who received vancomycin for ≥ 48 hr from 2003 to 2011. A one-compartment model with first-order kinetics was used to estimate clearance (CL), volume of distribution (Vd) and area-under-curve (AUC). Empiric Bayesian post-hoc individual parameters and Monte Carlo simulations (N=11,000) were performed. Analysis included 702 patients with 1660 vancomycin serum concentrations. Median age was 6.6 (interquartile range [IQR] 2.2–13.4) yr, weight 22.7 (12.6–46) kg, and baseline serum creatinine (SCr) 0.40 (0.30–0.60) mg/dL. Final model PK indices were: CL(L/h) = 0.248*Wt0.75*(0.48/SCr)0.361*(ln(age)/7.8)0.995; and Vd(L) = 0.636*Wt. Using these parameters and the observed MIC distribution, Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the initial median dose of 44 (39–52) mg/kg/day was inadequate in most subjects. Regimens of 60 mg/kg/day for subjects ≥ 12 years old and 70 mg/kg/day for those < 12 years old achieved target AUC/MIC in ~ 75% and trough concentrations ≥ 15 in ~ 45% of virtual subjects. An AUC/MIC ~ 400 corresponded to trough concentration ~ 8 to 9 mcg/mL. Targeted exposure using vancomycin AUC/MIC, compared with trough concentrations, is a more realistic target in children. Depending on age, serum creatinine, and MIC distribution, vancomycin in a dosage of 60 to 70 mg/kg/day was necessary to achieve AUC/MIC ≥ 400 in 75% of patients.
