In an effort create a standard care for population, list that are potentially inappropriate has been developed titled "KIDs List."A panel 7 pharmacists from Pediatric Pharmacy Association were recruited evaluate primary, secondary, tertiary literature; FDA Safety Communications; Lexicomp electronic database; product information...
Abstract This clinical practice guideline (CPG) provides clinicians with recommendations regarding chemotherapy emetogenicity classification in pediatric oncology patients. information is critically important for the appropriate selection of antiemetic prophylaxis. Recommendations are based on a systematic review limited to patients and framework when prophylaxis provided. Findings 87 publications informed 49 single‐agent 13 combination‐agent regimens. Information required many...
This clinical practice guideline provides recommendations for preventing acute and delayed phase chemotherapy-induced nausea vomiting (CINV) in pediatric patients. The are based on two systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials evaluating interventions to prevent (1) CINV (2) CINV. Recommendations prophylaxis made patients receiving chemotherapy varying emetogenicity, as well not able receive dexamethasone or a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist. Evidence gaps, including antiemetic...
Background This retrospective review provides preliminary data regarding the safety and efficacy of olanzapine for chemotherapy‐induced vomiting (CIV) control in children. Procedure Children <18 years old who received acute nausea (CINV) from December 2010 to August 2013 at four institutions were identified. Patient characteristics, chemotherapy, antiemetic prophylaxis, dosing, CIV control, liver function test results adverse events abstracted health record. Toxicity was graded using...
Abstract This clinical practice guideline update provides recommendations for treating breakthrough chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) preventing refractory CINV in pediatric patients. Two systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials adult patients informed the recommendations. In with CINV, escalation antiemetic agents to those recommended chemotherapy next higher level emetogenic risk is strongly recommended. A similar recommendation escalate therapy made prevent who did...
Abstract This 2021 clinical practice guideline update provides recommendations for preventing anticipatory chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in pediatric patients. Recommendations are based on systematic reviews that identified (1) if a history of acute or delayed CINV is risk factor CINV, (2) interventions prevention treatment. A strong recommendation to optimize control order prevent made. Conditional made hypnosis, desensitization, relaxation techniques, lorazepam the...

Limited data on optimal posaconazole dosing strategies for pediatric patients exist. In this study, we found that the median initial dose in who achieved a plasma concentration of 0.7 μg/mL was 22.8 mg/kg per day whereas those did not reach target 15.8 day; result suggests higher doses might be warranted.
The number of drug shortages quadrupled from 2004, with 58 shortages, to 267 in 2011.1 Eighty percent the 127 studied 2010–11 involved sterile injections, and leading causes for reported injection included problems at manufacturing facility (43%), delays or shipping (15%), active pharmaceutical ingredients (10%).2 Sterile injectables have unique market features that make such products more likely occur harder prevent. There are few manufacturers generic injectable products, top three holding...

Due to an evidence gap, the emetogenicity of intravenous (IV) pegaspargase was unable be included in clinical practice guideline classifying chemotherapy pediatric patients. This single-center, retrospective chart review describes proportion patients who did not vomit during acute phase (complete response; CR) after receiving IV and provides classification using a preexisting framework. Of 44 received between 2011 2020, 13 serotonin receptor antagonist plus dexamethasone or palonosetron...

10575 Background: Recent NCCN guidelines recommend the addition of a neurokinin-1(NK1) receptor antagonist (e.g. fosaprepitant) to serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) antagonist-corticosteroid combination for controlling both acute and delayed chemotherapy induced nausea vomiting(CINV) associated with high emetogenic (HEC) in adults. Fosaprepitant is bioequivalent aprepitant could offer benefits patients who are unable tolerate oral antiemetics. However, little known about efficacy...
