    Accurately forecasting drug plasma concentrations (CP) is key for effective dosing. Using just one or two measured CPs significantly improves future CP forecasts more than traditional methods relying on patient factors alone.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
    • Computational Pharmacology
    • Drug Dosing Optimization

    Background:

    • Rational drug dosage selection often relies on plasma concentration (CP) as a therapeutic endpoint.
    • Accurate forecasting of future CPs is crucial for optimizing dosage regimens.
    • Traditional forecasting methods primarily consider patient-specific factors like age, sex, and renal disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and explain a novel approach for forecasting drug plasma concentrations.
    • To emphasize the value of previously observed CPs in improving forecast accuracy and precision.
    • To compare the predictive power of measured CPs versus observable patient characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a forecasting approach that balances observed outcomes with prior expectations, accounting for CP measurement error.

  • Utilized historical plasma concentration data for digoxin to evaluate the method.
  • Quantified improvements in forecast precision and accuracy based on the number of prior CPs used.

    • Main Results:

    • One measured CP improved forecast precision by 40%, and two CPs improved it by 67% for digoxin.
    • Increasing the number of CPs used consistently enhanced both forecast accuracy and precision.
    • Two measured CPs achieved near-theoretical maximums for forecast accuracy and precision.
    • CP data proved significantly more valuable for forecasting than observable patient features (e.g., age, sex).

    Conclusions:

    • Incorporating measured plasma concentrations into forecasting models substantially enhances predictive capabilities.
    • A minimal number of prior CPs (as few as two) can yield highly accurate and precise drug dosage predictions.
    • Forecasting based on plasma concentrations is superior to relying solely on demographic and clinical patient data.
