Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To describe the total apparent CYP3A mediated clearance (Cl/F) of midazolam in the paediatric intensive care population from the age of 0 to 6 years, as surrogate marker of intestinal and hepatic CYP3A activity.;<br> Secondary Objective: To describe the oral bioavailability and other PK parameters of midazolam and metabolites.<br> To explore the impact of age and severity of illness (PELOD score) on oral and IV midazolam pharmacokinetics.<br> To explore the feasibility of a microdosing study in children.<br> ;<br> Primary end point(s): 1.Apparent clearance of midazolam (CL/F) to 1-OH-midazolam and 4-OH-midazolam.<br><br> ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time after completion of the last included patient
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Secondary end point(s): 2.Following parameters will be estimated for both formulations (IV and PO) midazolam and metabolite plasma and urinary clearance, volume of distribution in relation to age and PELOD score. For oral midazolam also: AUC, Cmax, Tmax.<br> Metabolites: 1-OH-midazolam (1-OHM), 1-OH-midazolam-glucuronide (1-OHMG), 4-OH-midazolam (4-OHM) 4-OH-midazolam-glucuronide (4-OHMG), Midazolam-glucuronide (M-G)<br> In feces: midazolam and metabolite appearance.<br> 3.Description of feasibility of microdosing study in pediatric population.<br> ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time after completion of the last included patient
