Pentoxifylline dose finding trial in preterm neonates with suspected late onset sepsis (PTX‐trial)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this study (PTX‐trial) is to determine the optimal dose of pentoxifylline (PTX) in preterm neonates (gestational age < 30 weeks) with (suspected) late onset sepsis (LONS). Methods The PTX‐trial is a prospective multicentre open‐label sequential dose‐optimization study with an adapted continual reassessment method.

Penicillin allergy de‐labelling in the critical care unit: Simulations to design an intravenous drug provocation test that mirrors the plasma profile of an enteral challenge

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The majority of penicillin allergy labels are incorrect and a label of penicillin allergy is associated with worse outcomes and increased use of healthcare services. Penicillin allergy assessment and de‐labelling may be considered in critically ill patients. An oral penicillin challenge is a common component of most penicillin allergy protocols.

Population pharmacokinetics and dose–response relationships of mitoxantrone in children with acute myeloid leukaemia

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Information on mitoxantrone pharmacokinetics in children is lacking and reduced dosing regimens applied to infants are supported by limited scientific rationale. The current study characterized mitoxantrone pharmacokinetics in a childhood acute myeloid leukaemia patient population and provides a data‐informed assessment of dosing.
