Single-dose pharmacokinetics and safety of azilsartan medoxomil in children and adolescents with hypertension as compared to healthy adults.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis open-label, multicenter, single-dose study characterized the pharmacokinetics and short-term safety of azilsartan medoxomil (AZL-M) in hypertensive pediatric subjects (12-16 years [cohort 1a; n = 9]; 6-11 years [cohort 2; n = 8]; 4-5 years [cohort 3; n = 3]).
methodsModel-based simulations were performed to guide dosing, especially in 1-5-year olds, who were difficult to enroll. AZL-M was dosed according to body weight (20-60-mg tablet, cohorts 1a and 2; 0.66 mg/kg granule suspension, cohort 3). In cohort 1, gender-matched healthy adults (cohort 1b; n = 9) received AZL-M 80 mg.
resultsExposure to AZL (active moiety of AZL-M), measured by dose-/body weight-normalized C max and AUC0-∞, was ∼15-30 % lower in pediatric subjects versus adults. In simulations, exposure with 0.66 mg/kg AZL-M in pediatric subjects weighing 8-25 kg approximated to AZL-M 40 mg (typical starting dose) in adults. The simulations suggest that 25-50-kg subjects require half the adult dose (10-40 mg), whereas 50-100-kg subjects can use the same dosing as adults. Adverse events were mild in intensity, apart from one moderate event (migraine).
conclusionsThis dosing strategy should be safe in pediatric patients, as AZL exposure would not exceed that seen in adults with the highest approved AZL-M dose (80 mg).
