High-throughput genetic screening and pharmacokinetic population modeling in drug development
Objectives: To develop a population PK model and integrate a large number of SNPs, genotyped in clinical studies, as covariates…
Read moreEvaluation of FREM and FFEM including use of model linearization
Objectives: In full model approaches, covariate relations are predefined [1]. Attaching covariate relations selectively to only some of the model…
Read moreUsing Population PBPK Modelling to interpret Population PK results exemplified for Levofloxacin in Plasma and Interstitial Fluid

Read moreCharacterization of Stepwise Covariate Model Building Combined with Cross-Validation
Objectives: We reported on a stepwise covariate model building combined with cross-validation (XV SCM) [1]. This method is useful to…
Read moreEvaluating the effect of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 polymorphisms on cyclosporine, everolimus and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in renal transplantation patients.
Objectives: Cyclosporine, everolimus and tacrolimus form the cornerstone of maintenance immunosuppressive therapy in renal transplantation. These drugs have a small…
Read moreIndividual Observation-Shrinkage Scaling of Residuals in a Generalized Least Square Type of Estimation in NONMEM
Objectives: A generalized least square (GLS) type of approach is often used in regression analysis where the predictions from a…
