Methods: In a randomized, double-masked multicenter trial, intravitreal pegaptanib (0.3, 1.0, or 3.0 mg/eye) was administered in patients with diabetic macular edema every 6 weeks for 12–30 weeks. A one-compartment model with first-order absorption, distribution volume, and clearance was used to characterize the pegaptanib plasma concentration–time profile. Results: In 58 patients, increases in area under the concentration–time curve (AUC) to end of the dosing interval (AUC0–tau) and maximum concentration with repeat doses were <6%, indicating minimal plasma accumulation. Sex and race did not have clinically significant effects on pegaptanib exposure. In the final model, the AUC extrapolated to infinite time and maximum concentration increased by ≥50% in older patients (aged >68 years) relative to younger patients due to decreases in creatinine clearance (CRCL), a significant predictor of clearance. Pegaptanib clearance was reduced by 29% when CRCL decreased by 50%. The change in exposure with CRCL (range, 0–190 mL/minute) was < 10-fold with 0.3–3.0 mg doses. Conclusion: While pegaptanib clearance and AUC were significantly influenced by CRCL, the predicted exposure in patients with renal insufficiency or renal failure shows no evidence that a dose adjustment is warranted, given the tenfold margin of safety observed over the dose range of 0.3–3.0 mg.
