The purpose of this study is to verify the pediatric dosing recommendations for BAT product in pediatric patients that are treated with BAT product due to a confirmed or suspected case of botulism. A minimum of one serum sample should be collected but whenever feasible additional serum samples (up to three per enrolled participant) may be collected from the participant or obtained from surplus standard of care samples, if available, within 32 hours after BAT product administration. Safety of the BAT product will also be evaluated. Emergent will follow-up with the physician by telephone after 30 days post-BAT product administration to collect AEs, SAEs, and unanticipated events.
Primary Objective: To collect blood from pediatric participants to analyze the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BAT product to verify the current US FDA-approved pediatric dosing recommendations for BAT product. Safety Objective: To evaluate the safety of BAT product in pediatric participants. Protocol Design: This is a single arm, multi-site PK study in pediatric patients treated with BAT product. Pharmacokinetic Parameters: The serum concentrations of BAT product obtained will be modeled using a population PK approach based on a previously developed model for BAT serotypes A through G in healthy adult human participants. Safety Endpoints: The incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and adverse events of special interest (AESI) that occur within 30 days after BAT product administration. In this study hypersensitivity/allergic reactions including serum sickness, febrile reactions, and hemodynamic instability and bradycardia, as well as reports of an infectious disease transmission will be included as AESI.

One to three 5 mL blood samples will be collected from pediatric participants treated with BAT product ideally 6-24 hours after administration but within a maximum of 32 hours after administration.
Margin of PK Equivalence for 90% Survival
Margin of PK equivalence (MOE) for 90% survival relative to the healthy adult PK model, calculated to verify the appropriateness of administered pediatric dose. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Area Under Concentration Curve From Time 0 to Last Measurable Concentration [AUC0-t]
Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Estimated area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last measurable serotype A concentration \[AUC0-t\]. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Area Under Concentration Curve From Time 0 to Infinity [AUC0-inf]
Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Estimated area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity \[AUC0-inf\]. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Between Subject Variability [BSV]
Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Between subject variability \[BSV\]. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Maximum Serum Serotype A Concentration [Cmax]
Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Estimated maximum serum serotype A concentration \[Cmax\]. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Systemic Clearance [CL]
Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Estimated systemic clearance \[CL\]. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Intercompartmental Clearance [CLd]
Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Estimated intercompartmental clearance \[CLd\]. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Central Volume of Distribution [Vc]
Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Estimated central volume of distribution \[Vc\]. All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
Peripheral Volume of Distribution [Vp]
Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Estimated peripheral volume of distribution \[Vp\]). All collected samples of sufficient volume will be used provided both the BAT dosing time and sample collection time are known, even if outside the 32 hour collection window.
Time frame: ideally up to 32 hours post-BAT product administration
