Quantitative systems pharmacology model for follicle development and oocyte retrieval during ovarian stimulation
Introduction: Based on 48 years of improving in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment protocols, there is today a deep mechanistic understanding of…
Read moreACTIVE LEARNING WITH BAYESIAN OPTIMIZATION FOR EFFICIENT VIRTUAL POPULATION GENERATION USING QUANTITATIVE SYSTEMS PHARMACOLOGY MODELS
Objectives: Virtual population generation requires identifying feasible parameter combinations that produce physiologically realistic model outputs. Random sampling scales poorly with…
Read moreTranslational modelling of pembrolizumab reveals a knowledge gap in immune checkpoint inhibitor dose development
Background Optimal dosing of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) like programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors remains uncertain, as dose–response relationships are not…
Read moreDOES THEORETICAL TARGET ATTAINMENT REFLECT REAL-WORLD TARGET ACHIEVEMENT? AN EVALUATION IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT PATIENTS RECEIVING PIPERACILLIN AS CONTINUOUS INFUSION
Introduction: Model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) aims to individualise antimicrobial therapy using pharmacokinetic models. These models need to be evaluated prior…
Read moreHost Immunity as a Bidirectional Regulator of Phage Therapy: A Mechanism-Based PKPD Modeling Approach
Objectives Bacteriophage therapy in immunocompetent hosts is governed not only by phage replication and bacterial dynamics, but also by host…
