Conditions: End Stage Renal Disease
Keywords: pravastatin, peritoneal dialysis, pediatric patients
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 7
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
Many children with end stage renal disease develop hyperlipidemia. HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A) reductase inhibitors, such as pravastatin, are typical treatments for hyperlipidemia. However, we do not know how pravastatin is metabolized in patients on dialysis. This study is designed to provide preliminary pharmacokinetic data for pravastatin in pediatric patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Detailed description:
This is a single-dose pilot study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of pravastatin in 7 pediatric and adolescent subjects ranging from 12 months to 16 years of age who are on dialysis. The study group will be comprised of healthy children receiving continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD). Pravastatin dosing will be 10 mg in all subjects. Blood, urine, and dialysate samples will be obtained over a 24-hour period post-dose for measurement of pravastatin concentrations. Safety evaluations will include adverse events (AEs), physical examination, vital signs, and clinical laboratory evaluations.

Arms:
arm 1: PK profile of pravastatin

Interventions: intervention 1: pravastatin
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: A single 10 mg dose of pravastatin will be administered 3 mL blood samples for pravastatin Pharmacokinetic evaluations will be collected at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours. 5 mL blood samples for pravastatin PK and laboratory evaluations will be drawn at pre-dose and 24 hours.

Vital Signs and Physical Exams will also be done throughout the study
