Thirteen Years' Experience of Pharmacokinetic Monitoring and Dosing of Busulfan

Abstract

Around two thirds of patients treated with busulfan were outside the target AUC range after the first dose. Dose adjustment was made in 37% of patients. The relationship between CL and body weight was used to revise the initial IV dosing schedule. Sampling for AUC estimation could be reduced to 2 time points after IV dosing.
