Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.
Problem:Our objective was to describe the association between voriconazole concentrations and CYP2C19 diplotypes in pediatric cancer patients, including children homozygous for the CYP2C19*17 gain-of-function allele.', 'A linear mixed effect model compared voriconazole dose-corrected trough concentrations (n = 142) among CYP2C19 diplotypes in 33 patients (aged 1-19 years). Voriconazole pharmacokinetics was described by a two-compartment model with Michaelis-Menten elimination.', 'Age (p = 0.05) and CYP2C19 diplotype (p = 0.002) were associated with voriconazole concentrations. CYP2C19*17 homozygotes never attained therapeutic concentrations, and had lower dose-corrected voriconazole concentrations (median 0.01 g/ml/mg/kg; p = 0.02) than CYP2C19*1 homozygotes (median 0.07 g/ml/mg/kg). Modeling indicates that higher doses may produce therapeutic concentrations in younger children and in those with a CYP2C19*17/*17 diplotype.
Solution:
Do voriconazole plasma concentrations in immunocompromised pediatric patients vary by CYP2C19 diplotypes?
