Abstract:
The problem of optimal dosage is studied for the administration of ddCyd using erythrocytes as carriers and bioreactors. The volume of erythrocytes and the initial amount of drug to be loaded have to be determined in such a way that the duration of the therapeutic effect is maximized without exceeding the toxic threshold. It is found that the optimal control is unique and it is at the upper vertex of the set of the admissible controls. A more general case is also briefly discussed.
