26. Juli 2022, von Kroemer
High dose ribavirin is an empiric treatment option in Lassa fever disease. Yet, the PK at this dosage and in this patient cohort was not yet characterized so far. Coordinated by the Bernhard-Nocht-Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg, and together with partners in Africa, a PK study on ribavirin in Lassa fever disease was conducted. Our role was to quantify ribavirin in plasma and perform the pharmacometric analysis, both led by Christine Kleist from our team.
