Brief Summary
Understudied drugs will be administered to children per standard of care as prescribed by their treating caregiver and only biological sample collection during the time of drug administration will be involved. A total of approximately 7000 children aged \<21 years who are receiving these drugs for standard of care will be enrolled and will be followed for up a maximum of 90 days. The goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of understudied drugs for which specific dosing recommendations and safety data are lacking. The prescribing of drugs to children will not be part of this protocol. Taking advantage of procedures done as part of routine medical care (i.e. blood draws) this study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving these drugs per standard of care. The data collected through this initiative will also provide valuable pharmacokinetic and dosing information of drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special pediatric populations (i.e. obese).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Composite of pharmacokinetic outcomes for understudied drugs in children
As appropriate for each study drug, the following additional PK parameters will be estimated: * maximum concentration (Cmax) * time to achieve maximum concentration (Tmax) * absorption rate constant (ka) * elimination rate constant (kel) * half-life (t1/2) * area under the curve (AUC) Penetration into body fluids will be determined by comparing exposure (i.e. AUC, Cmax) ratios between the body fluid and plasma or comparison of concentrations in paired samples.
Data will be collected throughout the hospital or outpatient stay up to 90 days
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Composite pharmacodynamic outcomes of understudied drugs in children
Data will be collected throughout the hospital or outpatient stay up to 90 days
Biomarkers associated with understudied drugs in children
Data will be collected throughout the hospital or outpatient stay up to 90 days
Interventions
