Sumario:PURPOSE: The aim of this work is to develop a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic model (PBPK) for the radiopharmaceutical Tc99m-Tetrofosmin in humans, from literature SPECT imaging data, to carry out in-silico dosimetry studies in children and extrapolate dosing. METHODS: A whole body PBPK model was developed from literature data from humans of Tc99m-Tetrofosmin tissue distribution. A data driven approach to estimate partition coeffects, permeability parameters and clearances was carried out, while some parameters were determined using a standard in silico PBPK method. Paediatric PK data for all tissues were simulated by changing the physiological parameters from the adult to paediatric values. Absorbed and effective doses for children of all ages were calculated using S-values from literature of Tc99m that have been computed from anthropomorphic phantoms. RESULTS: Using the results from each tissue, satisfactory goodness-of-fit was achieved, assessed by visual inspection and a coefficient of determination of R(2) = 0.965 while all estimated parameters had good standard errors. Paediatric simulations of Tetrofosmin distribution showed that paediatric profiles are not very different to the those of adults. The effective doses per unit of administered activity for 15 yo, 10 yo, 5 yo and 1 yo children were calculated to be 1.2, 1.7, 2.6 and 4.8 times higher, respectively than the adult value. Based on these calculations maximum administered activity scale more than proportionately to body weight. CONCLUSIONS: A PBPK model of tetrofosmin in adults has been developed from SPECT imaging data and was extrapolated to conduct in-silico dosimetry studies in children of all ages.
