Description

Although the oral bioavailability of PMEA ( adefovir ) is low, the prodrug bis-POM PMEA has resulted in increased bioavailability in adult patients in clinical trials. However, the safety and pharmacokinetic patterns of drugs in infants often differ from those of adults and the direction of the variation is not predictable. This study will assess these parameters of bis-POM PMEA in children. Patients are stratified by age, and separate cohorts from each age group receive 1 of 2 single doses of bis-POM PMEA. The lower dose is given to patients ages 3 months through 17 years; if toxicity is ...
