Background

• Structural model - One compartment linear elimination with first order absorption.

• Route of administration - Oral, Multiple dosing

• Dosage Regimen - 352.3 μg

• Number of Subjects - 1

Learing Outcome

This is a one compartment multiple oral dosing model. In the exercise pk04, four models are compared.

• Model 1 - One compartment model without lag-time, distinct parameters Ka and K

• Model 2 - One compartment model with lag time, distinct parameters Ka and K

• Model 3 - One compartment model without lag time, Ka = K = K¹

• Model 4 - One compartment model with lag time, Ka = K = K¹

Objectives

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build one compartment model for multiple oral dosing and to simulate the model for a single subject.

Model 3 & 4

In this one compartment model, we administer multiple doses orally.

pk_04_3_4    = @model begin
  @param begin
    tvk¹     ∈ RealDomain(lower=0)
    tvvc     ∈ RealDomain(lower=0)
    tvlag    ∈ RealDomain(lower=0)
    Ω        ∈ PDiagDomain(2)
    σ²_prop  ∈ RealDomain(lower=0)
  end

  @random begin
    η        ~ MvNormal(Ω)
  end

  @pre begin
    K¹       = tvk¹ * exp(η[1])
    Vc       = tvvc * exp(η[2])
    lags     = (Depot = tvlag,)
  end

  @dynamics begin
    Depot'   = -K¹*Depot
    Central' =  K¹*Depot - K¹*Central
  end

  @derived begin
    cp       = @. Central/Vc
    dv       ~ @. Normal(cp, sqrt(cp^2*σ²_prop))

Parameters

The parameters are as given below. tv represents the typical value for parameters.

• K¹ - Absorption and Elimination Rate Constant (hr⁻¹)

• Vc - Volume of Central Compartment(L)

• Ω - Between Subject Variability

• σ - Residual error

param3 = (tvk¹    = 0.14,
          tvvc    = 56.3,
          tvlag   = 0,
          Ω       = Diagonal([0.0,0.0,0.0]),
          σ²_prop = 0.015)

          tvvc    = 52.3,
          tvlag   = 0.68,
          Ω       = Diagonal([0.0,0.0,0.0]),
          σ²_prop = 0.01)

(tvk¹ = 0.15, tvvc = 52.3, tvlag = 0.68, Ω = [0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.0 0.0 0.0; 0.0
 0.0 0.0], σ²_prop = 0.01)

Dosage Regimen

Subject received 352.3 μg of oral dose once a day for 10 days.

ev1  = DosageRegimen(352.3, time=0, ii=24, addl=9, cmt=1)
sub3 = Subject(id=3, events=ev1)
sub4 = Subject(id=4, events=ev1)

Simulation

Simulation the plasma concentration of the drug after multiple oral dosing
