    Abstract Background: Hemodialysis is a life-saving technology used during periods of acute or chronic kidney failure to remove toxins, and maintain fluid, electrolyte and metabolic balance. While this technology plays an important role for pediatric patients with kidney dysfunction, it can alter the pharmacokinetic behavior of medications placing patients at risk for suboptimal dosing and drug toxicity. The ability to directly translate pharmacokinetic alterations into dosing recommendations has thus far been limited and dosing guidance specific to pediatric hemodialysis patients is rare. Despite differences in dialysis prescription and patient populations, intermittent (iHD) and continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) patients are often pooled together. In order to develop evidence-based dosing guidelines, it is important to first prioritize drugs for study in each modality.
    Methods: Here we aim to identify priority drugs in two hemodialysis modalities, through: 1) Identification of hospitalized, pediatric patients who received CKRT or intermittent hemodialysis (iHD) using a machine learning-based predictive model based on medications; 2) Identification of medication administration patterns in these patient cohorts; and 3) Identification of the most commonly prescribed drugs that lack published dosing guidance.
    Results: Notable differences were found in the pattern of medications and drug dosing guidance between iHD and CKRT patients. Antibiotics, diuretics and sedatives were more common in CKRT patients. Out of the 50 most commonly administered medications in the two modalities, only 34% and 28% had dosing guidance present for iHD and CKRT, respectively.
    Conclusions: Our results add to the understanding of the differences between iHD and CKRT patient populations by identifying commonly used medications that lack dosing guidance for each hemodialysis modality, helping to pinpoint priority medications for further study. Overall, this study provides an overview of the current limitations in medication use in this at-risk population, and provides a framework for future studies by identifying commonly used medications in pediatric CKRT and iHD patients.

    Abstract Thyroid receptor signaling controls major physiological processes and disrupted signaling can cause severe disorders that negatively impact human life. Consequently, methods to detect thyroid receptor ligands are of great toxicologic and pharmacologic importance. Previously, we reported thyroid receptor ligand detection with cell-free protein synthesis of a chimeric fusion protein composed of the human thyroid receptor beta (hTRβ) receptor activator and a β-lactamase reporter. Here, we report a 60% reduction in sensing cost by reengineering the chimeric fusion protein biosensor to include a reporter system composed of either the full-length beta galactosidase (β-gal), the alpha fragment of β-gal (β-gal-α), or a split alpha fragment of the β-gal (split β-gal-α). These biosensor constructs are deployed using

    Abstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) devices are lifesaving for critically ill patients with multi-organ dysfunction. Despite this, patients supported with ECLS are at high risk for ECLS-related complications, including nosocomial infections, and mortality rates are high in this patient population. The high mortality rates are suspected to be, in part, a result of significantly altered drug disposition by the ECLS circuit, resulting in suboptimal antimicrobial dosing. Cefepime is commonly used in critically ill patients with serious infections. Cefepime dosing is not routinely guided by therapeutic drug monitoring and treatment success is dependent upon the percentage of time of the dosing interval that the drug concentration remains above the minimum inhibitory concentration of the organism.

    Abstract Background: Ceftazidime and clindamycin are commonly prescribed to critically ill patients who require extracorporeal life support such as ECMO and CRRT. The effect of ECMO and CRRT on the disposition of ceftazidime and clindamycin is currently unknown.
    Methods: Ceftazidime and clindamycin extraction were studied with ex vivo ECMO and CRRT circuits primed with human blood. The percent recovery of these drugs over time was calculated to determine the degree of interaction between these drugs and circuit components.
    Results: Neither ceftazidime nor clindamycin exhibited measurable interactions with the ECMO circuit. In contrast, CRRT cleared 100% of ceftazidime from the experimental circuit within the first 2 h. Clearance of clindamycin from the CRRT circuit was slower, with about 20% removed after 6 h.
    Conclusion: Clindamycin and ceftazidime dosing adjustments are likely required in patients who are supported with CRRT, and future studies to quantify these adjustments should consider the pathophysiology of the patient in combination with the clearance due to CRRT. Dosing adjustments to account for adsorption to ECMO circuit components are likely unnecessary and should focus instead on the pathophysiology of the patient and changes in volume of distribution. These results will help improve the safety and efficacy of ceftazidime and clindamycin in patients requiring ECMO and CRRT.

    Abstract Optimal treatment of infants with many renally cleared drugs must account for maturational differences in renal transporter (RT) activity. Pediatric physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models may incorporate RT activity, but this requires ontogeny profiles for RT activity in children, especially neonates, to predict drug disposition. Therefore, RT expression measurements from human kidney postmortem cortical tissue samples were normalized to represent a fraction of mature RT activity. Using these data, maximum likelihood estimated the distributions of RT activity across the pediatric age spectrum, including preterm and term neonates. PBPK models of four RT substrates (acyclovir, ciprofloxacin, furosemide, and meropenem) were evaluated with and without ontogeny profiles using average fold error (AFE), absolute average fold error (AAFE), and proportion of observations within the 5-95% prediction interval. Novel maximum likelihood profiles estimated ontogeny distributions for the following RT: OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, P-gp, URAT1, BCRP, MATE1, MRP2, MRP4, and MATE-2 K. Profiles for OAT3, P-gp, and MATE1 improved infant furosemide and neonate meropenem PBPK model AFE from 0.08 to 0.70 and 0.53 to 1.34 and model AAFE from 12.08 to 1.44 and 2.09 to 1.36, respectively, and improved the percent of data within the 5-95% prediction interval from 48% to 98% for neonatal ciprofloxacin simulations, respectively. Even after accounting for other critical population-specific maturational differences, novel RT ontogeny profiles substantially improved neonatal PBPK model performance, providing validated estimates of maturational differences in RT activity for optimal dosing in children.

    Abstract Objectives: Patients with sepsis are at significant risk for multiple organ dysfunction, including the lungs and kidneys. To manage the morbidity associated with kidney impairment, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) may be required. The extent of anakinra pharmacokinetics in CRRT remains unknown. The objectives of this study were to investigate the anakinra-circuit interaction and quantify the rate of removal from plasma.
    Design: The anakinra-circuit interaction was evaluated using a closed-loop ex vivo CRRT circuit. CRRT was performed in three phases based on the method of solute removal: 1) hemofiltration, 2) hemodialysis, and 3) hemodiafiltration. Standard control samples of anakinra were included to assess drug degradation.
    Setting: University research laboratory.
    Patients: None.
    Interventions: Anakinra was administered to the CRRT circuit and serial prefilter blood samples were collected along with time-matched control and hemofiltrate samples. Each circuit was run in triplicate to assess inter-run variability. Concentrations of anakinra in each reference fluid were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Transmembrane filter clearance was estimated by the product of the sieving coefficient/dialysate saturation constant and circuit flow rates.
    Measurements and main results: Removal of anakinra from plasma occurred within minutes for each CRRT modality. Average drug remaining (%) in plasma following anakinra administration was lowest with hemodiafiltration (34.9%). The average sieving coefficient was 0.34, 0.37, and 0.41 for hemodiafiltration, hemofiltration, and hemodialysis, respectively. Transmembrane clearance was fairly consistent across each modality with the highest during hemodialysis (5.53 mL/min), followed by hemodiafiltration (4.99 mL/min), and hemofiltration (3.94 mL/min). Percent drug remaining within the control samples (93.1%) remained consistent across each experiment, indicating negligible degradation within the blood.
    Conclusions: The results of this analysis are the first to demonstrate that large molecule therapeutic proteins such as anakinra, are removed from plasma with modern CRRT technology. Current dosing recommendations for patients with severe renal impairment may result in subtherapeutic anakinra concentrations in those receiving CRRT.

    Abstract Objectives: Describe the statistical design of the Personalized Immunomodulation in Sepsis-induced Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) (PRECISE) study.
    Design: Children with sepsis-induced MODS undergo real-time immune testing followed by assignment to an immunophenotype-specific study cohort. Interventional cohorts include the granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for the Reversal of Immunoparalysis in Pediatric Sepsis-induced MODS (GRACE)-2 trial, which uses the drug GM-CSF (or placebo) to reverse immunoparalysis; and the Targeted Reversal of Inflammation in Pediatric Sepsis-induced MODS (TRIPS) trial, which uses the drug anakinra (or placebo) to reverse systemic inflammation. Both trials have adaptive components and use a statistical framework in which frequent data monitoring assesses futility and efficacy, allowing potentially earlier stopping than traditional approaches. Prespecified simulation-based stopping boundaries are customized to each trial to preserve an overall one-sided type I error rate. The TRIPS trial also uses response-adaptive randomization, updating randomization allocation proportions to favor active arms that appear more efficacious based on accumulating data.
    Setting: Twenty-four U.S. academic PICUs.
    Patients: Septic children with specific immunologic derangements during ongoing dysfunction of at least two organs.
    Interventions: The GRACE-2 trial compares GM-CSF and placebo in children with immunoparalysis. The TRIPS trial compares four different doses of anakinra to placebo in children with moderate to severe systemic inflammation.
    Measurements and main results: Both trials assess primary efficacy using the sum of the daily pediatric logistic organ dysfunction-2 score over 28 days. Ranked summed scores, with mortality assigned the worst possible value, are compared between arms using the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test (GRACE-2) and a dose-response curve (TRIPS). We present simulation-based operating characteristics under several scenarios to demonstrate the behavior of the adaptive design.
    Conclusions: The adaptive design incorporates innovative statistical features that allow for multiple active arms to be compared with placebo based on a child's personal immunophenotype. The design increases power and provides optimal operating characteristics compared with traditional conservative methods.
