A comparison of ordinary differential equation and agent-based approaches to PKPD modelling in oncology
Introduction Mathematical models in oncology aid in the design of drugs and understanding of their mechanisms of action by simulation…
Read moreStochastic pharmacodynamics: Drug effects on the time to extinction of a heterogeneous tumour cell population
Introduction: PK-PD models are often based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which are useful for ease of analysis but they…
Read moreEvaluation of extrapolation potential of IMPRES-M, a non-parametric Impulse-Response Modeling framework when applied to pharmacokinetic profiles of different dosing frequencies
Introduction: Effective utilization of smoothing in pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling is limited as currently available approaches [1-4] cannot…
Read moreUse of informative prior distributions from mepolizumab data to support depemokimab PKPD model analysis
Introduction: Depemokimab is an anti-IL-5 monoclonal antibody that blocks binding to the IL-5 receptor, leading to a rapid reduction of…
