摘要
Objectives: Sirolimus (SRL), a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, has been widely used to treat patients with vascular anomalies (VAs). The objectives of this study were to summarize the routine blood SRL monitoring data for VAs children, to investigate the factors contributing to the variable blood SRL concentrations and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SRL therapy. Methods: VAs patients with routine blood SRL monitoring from July 2017 to April 2022 at the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, Children’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively collected. Clinical data were obtained from the hospital information system. Results: In total, 67 children (35 females) were enrolled. The therapeutic drug monitoring data showed that the range of measured blood trough concentrations (Ctrough) was 3.6–46.8 ng/mL. At the initial measurements, only 33% of patients were in the target concentration range (10–15 ng/mL). But this proportion became 54% at the last measurements. The whole blood-Ctrough-to-daily dose (Ctrough/Dose) ratio was significantly associated with age and body weight (BW). The patients’ laboratory results did not change significantly after SRL treatment. Although the incidence of adverse events was relatively high (44.8%), most of them were mild and tolerable. 70.3% patients had total responses to SRL, whereas 29.7% children exhibited stable disease or progressive disease. No significant differences were found in Ctrough between the total response group and non-response group. Conclusions: This retrospective study revealed a high variability in SRL blood concentrations in Chinese children with VAs. Of note, pediatric patients with older age and a higher BW had a lower Ctrough/Dose ratio. It is a concern whether the range of 10–15 ng/mL is feasible for Chinese children based only on our study. Further studies recruiting more patients are required to redefine the target reference range for children with VAs.
