UNLABELLED: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurs frequently after solid organ transplantation. Therapeutic strategies, in particular when to start a curative treatment, has not yet been defined. The purpose of this study was to assess predictive fa...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ganciclovir (GCV) and valganciclovir (VGCV) show large interindividual pharmacokinetic variability, particularly in children. The objectives of this study were (1) to develop machine learning (ML) algorithms trained on simu...
Intravenous ganciclovir and oral valganciclovir display significant variability in ganciclovir pharmacokinetics, particularly in children. Therapeutic drug monitoring currently relies on the area under the concentration-time (AUC). Machine-learning (...
INTRODUCTION: Valganciclovir, a prodrug of ganciclovir (GCV), is used to prevent cytomegalovirus infection after transplantation, with doses adjusted based on creatinine clearance (CrCL) to target GCV AUC0-24 h of 40-60 mg*h/L. This sometimes leads t...
