Pharmacokinetic models

Compartmental models and parameters

Six parameters are common to one, two or three compartment models:

One-compartment models

There are two parameterisations implemented in PFIM for one-compartment models, \(\left(V\text{ and }k\right)\) or \(\left(V\text{ and }CL\right)\). The equations are given for the first parameterisation \(\left(V, k\right)\). For extra-vascular administration, \(V\) and \(CL\) are apparent volume and clearance. The equations for the second parameterisation \(\left(V, CL\right)\) are derived using \(k={\frac{CL}{V}}\).

First order absorption

  • single dose

\[\begin {equation} C\left(t\right)=\frac{D}{V} \frac{k_{a}}{k_{a}-k} \left(e^{-k\left(t-t_{D}\right)}-e^{-k_{a}\left(t-t_{D}\right)}\right) \end {equation}\]

  • multiple doses

\[\begin {equation} C\left(t\right)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}\frac{D_{i}}{V} \frac{k_{a}}{k_{a}-k} \left(e^{-k\left(t-t_{D_{i}}\right)}-e^{-k_{a}\left(t-t_{D_{i}}\right)}\right) \end {equation} \]

Two-compartment models

For two-compartment model equations, \(C(t)=C_1(t)\) represent the drug concentration in the first compartment and \(C_2(t)\) represents the drug concentration in the second compartment.

As well as the previously described PK parameters, the following PK parameters are used for the two-compartment models:

  • \(V_2\), the volume of distribution of second compartment
  • \(k_{12}\), the distribution rate constant from compartment 1 to compartment 2
  • \(k_{21}\), the distribution rate constant from compartment 2 to compartment 1
  • \(Q\), the inter-compartmental clearance
  • \(\alpha\), the first rate constant
  • \(\beta\), the second rate constant
  • \(A\), the first macro-constant
  • \(B\), the second macro-constant

There are two parameterisations implemented in PFIM for two-compartment models: \(\left(V\text{, }k\text{, }k_{12}\text{ and }k_{21}\right)\), or \(\left(CL\text{, }V_1\text{, }Q\text{ and }V_2\right)\). For extra-vascular administration, \(V_1\) (\(V\)), \(V_2\), \(CL\), and \(Q\) are apparent volumes and clearances.

The second parameterisation terms are derived using:

  • \(V_1=V\)
  • \(CL=k \times V_1\)
  • \(Q=k_{12} \times V_1\)
  • \(V_2= {\frac{k_{12}}{k_{21}}}\times V_1\)

For readability, the equations for two-compartment models with linear elimination are given using the variables \(\alpha\text{, }\beta\text{, }A\text{ and }B\) defined by the following expressions:

\[\alpha = {\frac{k_{21}k}{\beta}} = {\frac{{\frac{Q}{V_2}}{\frac{CL}{V_1}}}{\beta}}\]

\[\beta= \begin{cases} {\frac{1}{2}\left[k_{12}+k_{21}+k-\sqrt{\left(k_{12}+k_{21}+k\right)^2-4k_{21}k}\right]}\\[0.4cm] { \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{Q}{V_1}+\frac{Q}{V_2}+\frac{CL}{V_1}-\sqrt{\left(\frac{Q}{V_1}+\frac{Q}{V_2}+\frac{CL}{V_1}\right)^2-4\frac{Q}{V_2}\frac{CL}{V_1}} \right] } \end{cases}\]

The link between A and B, and the PK parameters of the first and second parameterisations depends on the input and are given in each subsection.

Intravenous bolus

For intravenous bolus, the link between \(A\) and \(B\), and the parameters (\(V\), \(k\), \(k_{12}\) and \(k_{21}\)), or (\(CL\), \(V_1\), \(Q\) and \(V_2\)) is defined as follows:

\[A={\frac{1}{V}\frac{\alpha-k_{21}}{\alpha-\beta}} ={\frac{1}{V_1}\frac{\alpha-{\frac{Q}{V_2}}}{\alpha-\beta}}\]

\[B={\frac{1}{V}\frac{\beta-k_{21}}{\beta-\alpha}} ={\frac{1}{V_1}\frac{\beta-{\frac{Q}{V_2}}}{\beta-\alpha}}\]

  • single dose

\[\begin {equation} C\left(t\right)=D\left(Ae^{-\alpha \left(t-t_D\right)}+Be^{-\beta \left(t-t_D\right)}\right) \end {equation}\]

  • multiples doses

\[\begin {equation} C\left(t\right)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}D_{i}\left(Ae^{-\alpha \left(t-t_{D_{i}}\right)}+Be^{-\beta \left(t-t_{D_{i}}\right)}\right) \end {equation} \]

  • steady state

\[\begin {equation} C\left(t\right)=D\left(\frac{Ae^{-\alpha t}}{1-e^{-\alpha \tau}}+\frac{Be^{-\beta t}}{1-e^{-\beta \tau}}\right) \end{equation}\]

Infusion

For infusion, the link between \(A\) and \(B\), and the parameters (\(V\), \(k\), \(k_{12}\) and \(k_{21}\)), or (\(CL\), \(V_1\), \(Q\) and \(V_2\)) is defined as follows:

\[A={\frac{1}{V}\frac{\alpha-k_{21}}{\alpha-\beta}} ={\frac{1}{V_1}\frac{\alpha-{\frac{Q}{V_2}}}{\alpha-\beta}}\]

\[B={\frac{1}{V}\frac{\beta-k_{21}}{\beta-\alpha}} ={\frac{1}{V_1}\frac{\beta-{\frac{Q}{V_2}}}{\beta-\alpha}}\]

  • single dose

\[ \begin {equation} C\left(t\right)= \begin{cases} {\frac{D}{Tinf}}\left[ \begin{aligned} \frac{A}{\alpha}\left(1-e^{-\alpha \left(t-t_D\right)}\right)\\[0.1cm] + \frac{B}{\beta}\left(1-e^{-\beta \left(t-t_D\right)}\right) \end{aligned} \right] & \text{if $t-t_D\leq Tinf$,}\\[1cm] {\frac{D}{Tinf}}\left[ \begin{aligned} \frac{A}{\alpha}\left(1-e^{-\alpha Tinf}\right) e^{-\alpha \left(t-t_D-Tinf\right)}\\[0.1cm] + \frac{B}{\beta}\left(1-e^{-\beta Tinf}\right) e^{-\beta \left(t-t_D-Tinf\right)} \end{aligned} \right] & \text{if not.}\\ \end{cases} \end {equation} \]

First-order absorption

For first order absorption, the link between \(A\) and \(B\), and the parameters (\(k_a\), \(V\), \(k\), \(k_{12}\) and \(k_{21}\)), or \(\left(k_a\text{, } CL\text{, }V_1\text{, }Q\text{ and }V_2\right)\) is defined as follows:

\[A={\frac{k_a}{V}\frac{k_{21}-\alpha}{\left(k_a-\alpha\right)\left(\beta-\alpha\right)}} ={\frac{k_a}{V_1}\frac{{\frac{Q}{V_2}}-\alpha}{\left(k_a-\alpha\right)\left(\beta-\alpha\right)}}\]

\[B={\frac{k_a}{V}\frac{k_{21}-\beta}{\left(k_a-\beta\right)\left(\alpha-\beta\right)}} ={\frac{k_a}{V_1}\frac{{\frac{Q}{V_2}}-\beta}{\left(k_a-\beta\right)\left(\alpha-\beta\right)}}\]

Models with Michaelis-Menten elimination

The list of PK models with Michaelis-Menten elimination implemented in PFIM are summarised in Appendix I.2. Presently, there is no implementation for multiple dosing with IV bolus administration in the PFIM software. For infusion and oral administration, the implementation in PFIM does not allow designs with different groups of doses as the dose is included in the model.

Pharmacodynamic models

Immediate response models

For these response models, the effect \(E\left(t\right)\) is expressed as:

\[ \begin{equation} E\left(t\right)=A\left(t\right)+S\left(t\right) \end{equation}\]

where \(A\left(t\right)\) represents the model of drug action and \(S\left(t\right)\) corresponds to the baseline/disease model. \(A\left(t\right)\) is a function of the concentration \(C\left(t\right)\) in the central compartment.

The drug action models are presented in section Drug action models for \(C(t)\). The baseline/disease models are presented in section Baseline/disease models. Any combination of those two models is available in the PFIM library.

Parameters

NB: \(V_m\) is in concentration per time unit and \(K_m\) is in concentration unit.

Drug action models

  • linear model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=A_{lin}C\left(t\right) \end{equation}\]

  • quadratic model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=A_{lin}C\left(t\right)+A_{quad}C\left(t\right)^{2} \end{equation}\]

  • logarithmic model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=A_{log}log(C\left(t\right)) \end{equation}\]

  • \(E_{max}\) model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=\frac{E_{max}C\left(t\right)}{C\left(t\right)+C_{50}} \end{equation}\]

  • sigmoïd \(E_{max}\) model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=\frac{E_{max}C\left(t\right)^{\gamma}}{C\left(t\right)^{\gamma}+C_{50}^{\gamma}} \end{equation}\]

  • \(I_{max}\) model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=1-\frac{I_{max}C\left(t\right)}{C\left(t\right)+C_{50}} \end{equation}\]

  • sigmoïd \(I_{max}\) model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=1-\frac{I_{max}C\left(t\right)^{\gamma}}{C\left(t\right)^{\gamma}+C_{50}^{\gamma}} \end{equation}\]

  • full \(I_{max}\) model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=-\frac{C\left(t\right)}{C\left(t\right)+C_{50}} \end{equation}\]

  • sigmoïd full \(I_{max}\) model \[\begin{equation} A\left(t\right)=-\frac{C\left(t\right)^{\gamma}}{C\left(t\right)^{\gamma}+C_{50}^{\gamma}} \end{equation}\]

Baseline/disease models

  • null baseline

\[\begin{equation} S\left(t\right)=0 \end{equation}\]

  • constant baseline with no disease progression

\[\begin{equation} S\left(t\right)=S_{0} \end{equation}\]

  • linear disease progression

\[\begin{equation} S\left(t\right)=S_{0}+k_{prog}t \end{equation}\]

  • exponential disease increase

\[\begin{equation} S\left(t\right)=S_{0}e^{-k_{prog}t} \end{equation}\]

  • exponential disease decrease

\[\begin{equation} S\left(t\right)=S_{0}\left(1-e^{-k_{prog}t}\right) \end{equation}\]

Turnover response models

In these models, the drug is not acting on the effect \(E\) directly but rather on \(R_{in}\) or \(k_{out}\).

Thus the system is described with differential equations, given \({\frac{dE}{dt}}\) as a function of \(R_{in}\), \(k_{out}\) and \(C\left(t\right)\) the drug concentration at time t.

The initial condition is: while \(C\left(t\right)=0\), \(E\left(t\right)= {\frac{R_{in}}{k_{out}}}\).
