This study evaluated the impact of obesity on etanercept (ETN) drug exposure in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The data suggest that children who are obese may be routinely under-dosed using current dosing strategies. As a result, characterizing adequate drug exposure in children of all sizes is an important step toward precision dosing.
