    Résumé

    We evaluated the population pharmacokinetics of caspofungin in children (2 to 12 years of age). The real-world data from 48 children were best fit by a two-compartment model with first-order elimination. Subsequent covariate analysis demonstrated that body surface area had a significant correlation with caspofungin pharmacokinetics, compared to body weight. The population pharmacokinetics of caspofungin confirmed that adjustment of caspofungin dosage based on body surface area is most appropriate for pediatric use.
