Repeated measures data, such as clinical pharmacokinetic data, growth data, and dose-response data, are often inherently nonlinear with respect to a given response function and are frequently incomplete and/or unbalanced. Nonlinear random-effects models together with a variety of estimation procedures have been proposed for the analysis of such data. This paper is concerned with a straightforward procedure for estimating and comparing the parameters of a generalized mixed-effects nonlinear regression model. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are given and large-sample tests of hypothesis provided. The results are applied to in vitro data on the water transport kinetics of hemodialyzers used in the treatment of patients with chronic renal failure.

Iberdomide, a novel potent cereblon E3 ligase modulator, is under investigation for multiple myeloma. This study assessed how renal impairment (RI) affects iberdomide pharmacokinetics (PK). Twenty-six subjects with varying renal function, including those with severe renal impairment and those requiring intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), received a single oral 1 mg dose of iberdomide.

Background: Skin tactile perception may indicate frailty in older adults. Although gait performance is crucial for diagnosing frailty, its association with skin tactile perception has not yet been explored.
Objectives: To examine the association between skin tactile perception and changes in step length, cadence, and gait speed in middle-aged and older adults.

Zonisamide exhibits significant pharmacokinetic variability, demanding for the development of population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) models to identify key factors influencing drug disposition. This study aimed to develop and validate a PopPK to optimize zonisamide posology in patients with refractory epilepsy. A total of 114 plasma concentrations of zonisamide, obtained from 64 patients, were used for PopPK model development, employing the nonlinear mixed-effects modelling approach.
