PK39 - Two compartment linear elimination with zero order absorption model
1 Background
- Structural model - Two compartment linear elimination with zero order absorption
- Route of administration - Three consecutive constant rate IV infusions
- Dosage Regimen - 1st dose: 26.9 mcg/kg over 15 minutes, 2nd dose: 139 mcg/kg from 15 minutes to 8 hours, 3rd dose: 138.95 mcg/kg between 8 and 24 hours
- Number of Subjects - 1

2 Learning Outcome
This exercise demonstrates simulating three consecutive constant rate IV infusions from a two compartment model.
3 Objectives
To build a two-compartment model, simulate the model for a subject given three consecutive constant rate IV infusions, and subsequently perform a simulation for a population.
4 Libraries
Load the necessary libraries.
5 Model definition
Note the expression of the model parameters with helpful comments. The model is expressed with differential equations. Residual variability is a proportional error model.
In this two compartment model, we administer three consecutive IV infusions for a single subject.

Dosage regimen - Single subject receiving three consecutive IV infusions
- 1st dose: 26.9 mcg/kg over 15 minutes
- 2nd dose: 139 mcg/kg from 15 minutes to 8 hours
- 3rd dose: 138.95 mcg/kg between 8 and 24 hours

9 Single-Subject Simulation
Simulate for plasma concentration with the specific observation time points after IV infusion.
Initialize the random number generator with a seed for reproducibility of the simulation.
Random.seed!(123)Define the timepoints at which concentration values will be simulated.

We perform a population simulation with 72 participants.
This code demonstrates how to write the simulated concentrations to a comma separated file (.csv).
