LESS INVASIVE MEASUREMENTS OF THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE � Body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory peek flow … � Scores for depression (HAMD,…), pain (VAS), … � Frequency of seizures, emesis, … � ECG, EEG � Bone density, tumor size, … Tod / Girard 5 EMEA 14 April 2008 COMPONENTS OF A K-PD MODEL (1) � Simplified PK model: variable of interest: Input Rate (t) in mg/h IR(t) = Ke.A(t) 5 Log2 / Ke A(t) Dosing A(t) history Ke Biophase Time EMEA 14 April 2008 Tod / Girard 6

LIMITS OF THE K-PD MODEL � The drug PK in biophase is handled as monocompartmental: - PK is actually monocompartmental, or : - Effect kinetics is slow compared to drug kinetics (Kout < Ke) Complicated response models may be handled if correctly � specified. � K-PD models for drug-drug interaction are merely identifiable. Tod / Girard 19 EMEA 14 April 2008 CONCLUSIONS � K-PD models have been useful for modelling animal or human data in adults. � Well suited if effect kinetics is rate limiting � Might be used in pediatrics to reduce experimental workload. � More useful if coupled with a minimally invasive measurement of response.
