The aim of this study was to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) of olanzapine in children and devise a model-informed pediatric dosing scheme. This analysis is the first study to characterize the PK of olanzapine in participants ranging from infants to adolescents. Body weight and postmenstrual age (PMA) were identified as influential covariates for characterizing developmental changes in olanzapine apparent clearance.
