BackgroundTherapeutic drug monitoring for busulfan is important to prevent adverse events and improve outcomes in stem cell transplantation. We investigated intravenous busulfan pharmacokinetics and evaluated the utility of limited sampling strategy (LSS) as a simple method to estimate the area under the concentration‐time curve (AUC).ProcedureThe study comprised 87 busulfan measurements in 54 children who received intravenous busulfan between August 2015 and May 2020. AUCs were calculated from three to five blood sampling points in each patient, and the correlation between AUC and plasma concentrations (ng/mL) at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 h after initiating busulfan infusion (C1, C2, C3, C4, and C6, respectively).ResultsBy one‐point sampling strategy, the most relevant predicted AUC was based on C6(r2= 0.789; precision, 11.0%) in all patients. The predicted AUC based on C6was acceptable (r2= 0.937; precision, 5.9%) for adolescent patients weighing >23 kg, but the correlation was poor in infants and young children weighing ≤ 23 kg (r2= 0.782; precision, 11.4%). By two‐point sampling strategy, the predicted AUC based on C3and C6showed the most relevant concentrations (r2= 0.943; precision, 6.4%), even in infants and young children, whereas the predicted AUC based on C3and C6was acceptable (r2= 0.963; precision, 5.7%).ConclusionsThe AUC of busulfan can be predicted based on C6in adolescent patients. However, there was substantial interindividual variation in busulfan pharmacokinetics in infants and young children, in whom two‐point LSS was necessary for accurate AUC prediction.
