This study introduces a new statistical model for developmental toxicity data, accounting for hormesis and threshold effects. The model helps analyze animal study results to detect these crucial dose-response patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Biostatistics
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Developmental toxicity studies often involve clustered binary-response data.
  • Understanding dose-response relationships, including hormesis and threshold effects, is critical in toxicology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a random effects threshold dose-response model for clustered binary data.
  • To incorporate both hormetic (u-shaped) and threshold (logistic) effects into a single model.
  • To introduce score tests for detecting hormesis and threshold effects.

Main Methods:

  • A random effects threshold dose-response model was formulated, combining a hormetic u-shaped model below the threshold and a logistic model above.
  • Score tests were derived from this random effects hormetic-threshold dose-response model.

  • The model and tests were applied to clustered binary data from animal developmental toxicity studies and validated with simulated data.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model effectively analyzes clustered binary data from developmental toxicity studies.
    • Score tests provide a method for testing the presence of hormesis and threshold effects.
    • Comparison with likelihood ratio tests in simulations demonstrated the utility of the score tests.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed random effects model and score tests are valuable tools for analyzing dose-response relationships in developmental toxicity.
    • The methodology allows for the detection of complex dose-response patterns, including hormesis and thresholds.
    • This approach enhances the statistical rigor of interpreting animal toxicity study outcomes.
