In the pursuit of ethical and efficient drug development, the scientific community continues to embrace the 3R’s principle — Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement — to minimize the use of animals …
A non-compartmental analysis (NCA) is commonly performed to analyse the data of a pharmacokinetic study. It is an easy way of getting your pharmacokinetic parameters (such as the Cmax, tmax, …
With the introduction of ChatGPT I was interested to learn how ChatGPT in pharmacometrics might be applied and how this will impact my code writing tasks, especially for doing pharmacokinetic …
Introduction Unsurprisingly, the absorption of drugs is a complex process. Should you try a first-order input? Zero-order? Both?! Especially when a bias in the model fit of your absorption phase …
The development of population PK (and PD) models enable the use of individual Bayesian dose optimization. One could use the included covariates to derive the dose of an individual but …
Acknowledgments The idea for this post was based upon the research by Dr. Lloyd Bridge, presented at the British Pharmacological Society meeting December 2018. and published in October 2020 in …
The correct reporting of pharmacokinetic data can provide a tremendous amount of information on the clinical pharmacological characteristics of a drug. Small studies with a limited number of plasma samples …
Introduction We are not all the same. We know that there is variability originating from physiological differences in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) processes between individuals in a population, also …
This post is based on the work of, among others, Camille Vong and the hands-on course about the MCMP given by Rob ter Heine and Elin Svensson. Read and cite …
How do we develop a ‘standard’ population PK model? We obtain blood/plasma concentrations over time of the drug of interest, in multiple individuals, and we apply our population NLME modelling …
