Study of Methotrexate Given to Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patients Based on Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacometrics

Conditions
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Interventions
Other: therapeutic drug monitoring
Registration Number
NCT03006991
Lead Sponsor
Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center
Brief Summary

This study will integrate Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacometrics, to explore an effective concentration of MTXPGn for JIA pediatric patients, and set up a Population Pharmacokinetics model to provide reference for individual administration on JIA pediatric patients.

Detailed Description

In order to find out "The critical reasons for individual variances in MTX of JIA pediatric patients and quantize the influence of these factors", based on early research, this study will integrate Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacometrics, to explore an effective concentration of MTXPGn for JIA pediatric patients, and set up a Population Pharmacokinetics model to provide reference for individual administration on JIA pediatric patients.
