Objectives: Determination of a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) still relies mainly on dose escalation studies using the algorithm-based 3+3 design although…
Read moreOral: Clinical Applications
These abstracts are expected to deal with applications of pharmacometrics whose aim is to improve individual patient treatment. They may include studies that have identified covariates that can be applied to calculate the dose, or even better, if the application was able to take patient response (concentration, biomarker) and further improve the individual dose. They can include simulation studies that explore how to improve patient treatment by dose individualization. The abstract must indicate an algorithm demonstrating how an individual patient dose is calculated.
An integrated, mechanistic model of viral eradication and its clinical applications in treatment regimens with direct-acting antivirals for chronic hepatitis C
Background: The treatment objective in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (CHC) is a sustained viral response (SVR), which…
