IMPORTANCE: Children of all ages appear susceptible to severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. To support pediatric clinical studies for
investigational treatments of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),
pediatric-specific dosing is required. OBJECTIVE: To define pediatric-specific
dosing regimens for hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir for COVID-19 treatment.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation were
used to extrapolate investigated adult dosages toward children (March 2020-April
2020). Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling was used to inform
pediatric dosing for hydroxychloroquine. For remdesivir, pediatric dosages were
derived using allometric-scaling with age-dependent exponents. Dosing simulations
were conducted using simulated pediatric and adult participants based on the
demographics of a white US population. INTERVENTIONS: Simulated drug exposures
following a 5-day course of hydroxychloroquine (400 mg every 12 hours × 2 doses
followed by 200 mg every 12 hours × 8 doses) and a single 200-mg intravenous dose
of remdesivir were computed for simulated adult participants. A simulation-based
dose-ranging study was conducted in simulated children exploring different
absolute and weight-normalized dosing strategies. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The
primary outcome for hydroxychloroquine was average unbound plasma concentrations
for 5 treatment days. Additionally, unbound interstitial lung concentrations were
simulated. For remdesivir, the primary outcome was plasma exposure (area under
the curve, 0 to infinity) following single-dose administration. RESULTS: For
hydroxychloroquine, the physiologically based pharmacokinetic model analysis
included 500 and 600 simulated white adult and pediatric participants,
respectively, and supported weight-normalized dosing for children weighing less
than 50 kg. Geometric mean-simulated average unbound plasma concentration values
among children within different developmental age groups (32-35 ng/mL) were
congruent to adults (32 ng/mL). Simulated unbound hydroxychloroquine
concentrations in lung interstitial fluid mirrored those in unbound plasma and
were notably lower than in vitro concentrations needed to mediate antiviral
activity. For remdesivir, the analysis included 1000 and 6000 simulated adult and
pediatric participants, respectively. The proposed pediatric dosing strategy
supported weight-normalized dosing for participants weighing less than 60 kg.
Geometric mean-simulated plasma area under the time curve 0 to infinity values
among children within different developmental age-groups (4315-5027 ng?×?h/mL)
were similar to adults (4398 ng?×?h/mL). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This analysis
provides pediatric-specific dosing suggestions for hydroxychloroquine and
remdesivir and raises concerns regarding hydroxychloroquine use for COVID-19
treatment because concentrations were less than those needed to mediate an
antiviral effect.
