A population pharmacokinetics study using the NONMEM program was undertaken to determine the effects of different covariates on the pharmacokinetic parameters of etoposide. A total of 1,044 plasma etoposide concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in 100 patients (pts; 75 men and 25 women aged 25-85 years) treated for various tumor types with i.v. (57 pts) or oral (43 pts) etoposide. For 67 pts, etoposide plasma protein binding was determined by equilibrium dialysis; the unbound fraction ranged from 4% to 24%. A linear two-compartment model with first-order absorption (for oral dosing) accurately described the concentration versus time data. The central and peripheral volumes of distribution were significantly correlated with the body surface area Vc (L) = 5.5 x BSA (m2) and Vp = 4.1 x BSA, but even after BSA had been taken into account, the interindividual variability of the two volumes remained high (34% and 57%, respectively).
