Abstract
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling can be an attractive tool to increase the evidence base of pediatric drug dosing recommendations by making optimal use of existing pharmacokinetic (PK) data. A pragmatic approach of combining available compound models with a virtual pediatric physiology model can be a rational solution to predict PK and hence support dosing guidelines for children in real-life clinical care, when it can also be employed by individuals with little experience in PBPK modeling. This comes within reach as user-friendly PBPK modeling platforms exist and, for many drugs and populations, models are ready for use. We have identified a list of drugs that can serve as a starting point for pragmatic PBPK modeling to address current clinical dosing needs.
