Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

249
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Comparison and Selection Criterion

361
Physiological and compartmental models are valuable tools used in studying biological systems. These models rely on differential equations to maintain mass balance within the system, ensuring an accurate representation of the dynamic processes at play.
Physiological models take a detailed approach by considering specific molecular processes. They can predict drug distribution, metabolism, and elimination changes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how drugs interact with the body.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model

317
Drugs administered through various routes can lead to nonlinear elimination, resulting in complex pharmacokinetic behaviors crucial to understanding efficacious drug dosing.
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...

Noncompartmental Analysis: Miscellaneous Pharmacokinetic Parameters

452
The noncompartmental approach is a widely used method in pharmacokinetics to assess drugs' behaviors in the body. It considers several factors, including clearance, bioavailability, and total volume of distribution.
One key aspect of the noncompartmental approach is determining a drug's total clearance. This can be done by dividing the drug dose by the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity. The area under the concentration-time curve represents the drug's...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

266
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Computational Biology
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Parameter nonidentifiability in infectious disease models leads to unreliable predictions.
  • Existing methods for addressing nonidentifiability are often fragmented.
  • Integrating identifiability analysis with Bayesian inference for parameter estimation is underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for assessing parameter identifiability within a Bayesian framework.
  • To enhance the efficiency of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling using identifiability information.
  • To enable principled model selection by penalizing nonidentifiable models.

Main Methods:

  • Incorporation of sensitivity matrix-based identifiability analysis into a Bayesian framework.
  • Design of MCMC algorithms that leverage prior identifiability information for improved sampler performance.
  • Assessment of posterior nonidentifiability using sampling results for practical identifiability evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration that common epidemic models (SIR, SEIR, SEIAR) are often practically nonidentifiable with limited data.
  • Validation of the integrated approach for enhancing MCMC mixing and efficiency.
  • Successful application of the method for principled model selection.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Bayesian framework effectively assesses and addresses parameter nonidentifiability in infectious disease models.
  • Identifiability analysis integrated with MCMC sampling improves computational efficiency and prediction reliability.
  • Model parsimony is crucial, and the proposed method facilitates selection of more identifiable and robust models.
