Abstract

Aims Infection-induced inflammation is associated with adverse long-term outcomes in preterm infants. Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a candidate for adjunct immunomodulatory therapy in preterm infants with late-onset sepsis (LOS) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), but pharmacokinetic data in this population are extremely limited. This study aims to characterize the pharmacokinetic properties of intravenous PTX and its metabolites in preterm infants. Method An open label pilot clinical study of intravenous PTX as an adjunct therapy in preterm infants (gestation
