Purpose: (i) To determine the population pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of Doxorubicin (Dox), Etoposide (Eto) and Ifosfamide (Ifo) in small cell…
Read moreRole of modelling and simulation in Phase I drug development
Although the use of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling and simulation (M&S) in drug development has increased during the last decade, this has…
Read moreThings you may have wanted to ask about the $ESTIMATION record but have been hesitant to ask
The $ESTIMATION record is a NONMEM control record, giving control information regarding the Estimation Step. It contains a number of…
Read moreChecking departure from normality of the random effect
When a kinetic study is performed, concentrations and covariates are measured on different individuals. Then, using a population pharmacokinetic model,…
