Prior to his passing, Dr. Roger Jelliffe, expressed the need for educating future physicians and clinical pharmacists on the availability of computer-based tools to support dose optimization in patients in stable or unstable physiological states. His perspectives were to be captured in a commentary for the AAPS J with a focus on incorporating population pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) models that are designed to hit the therapeutic target with maximal precision.

Population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling has become a cornerstone of drug development and optimal patient dosing. This approach offers great benefits for datasets with sparse sampling, such as in pediatric patients, and can describe between-patient variability. While most current algorithms assume normal or log-normal distributions for PK parameters, we present a mathematically consistent nonparametric maximum likelihood (NPML) method for estimating multivariate mixing distributions without any assumption about the shape of the distribution.

Background: The clinical value of therapeutic drug monitoring can be increased most significantly by integrating assay results into clinical pharmacokinetic models for optimal dosing. The correct weighting in the modeling process is 1/variance, therefore, knowledge of the standard deviations (SD) of each measured concentration is important. Because bioanalytical methods are heteroscedastic, the concentration-SD relationship must be modeled using assay error equations (AEE).

This article provides a dialogue covering an ongoing controversy on the use of clearance versus rate constant approaches for model parameterization when assessing pharmacokinetic (PK) data. It reflects the differences in opinions that can exist among PK experts. Importantly, this discussion extends beyond theoretical arguments to demonstrate how these different approaches impact the analysis and interpretation of data acquired in clinical situations.
