Model-Informed Precision Dosing Using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetics in the Personalized Medicine Era

Between-patient variability in drug response is a major clinical challenge, often leading to cases of adverse drug reactions or lack of therapeutic efficacy. Dealing with such variability across patient subpopulations effectively within the framework of model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) requires sufficient patient characterization compatible with predictive systems pharmacology modeling platforms. This chapter examines existing and novel patient characterization approaches and models required to implement stratified and individualized precision dosing.
