Methotrexate (MTX), which presents high inter-individual variability, is part of the Brazilian Osteosarcoma Treatment Group (BOTG) protocol. This work aimed to develop a MTX population pharmacokinetic model (POPPK) for Brazilian children with osteosarcoma (OS) following the BOTG protocol to guide rescue therapy and avoid toxicity. The model was developed in NONMEM 7.4 (Icon®) using retrospective sparse data from MTX therapeutic drug monitoring of children attending a southern Brazilian public reference hospital. Data were described by a two-compartment model using 216 MTX cycles from 32 patients (5-18 y.o.) with OS who received 12 g/m2 dose/cycle. To explain inter-individual and inter-occasion variability in clearance and peripheral volume, covariates from demographic and biochemical data were evaluated. Serum creatinine was a significant covariate of MTX clearance (14.8 L/h), and the body surface area (BSA) was significant for central compartment volume (82.5 L). Inter-compartmental clearance and volume of peripheral compartment were 0.178 L/h and 5.72 L, respectively. The model adequately describes MTX exposure in Brazilian children with OS. Successful simulations were performed to predict MTX concentrations in pediatric patients above five years old with acute kidney injury and anticipate rescue therapy adjustments.
