Hi
I have sparse data from n=69 individuals from 3 dose levels, and rich data from 1 individual at 1 dose level, following the deployment of a drug eluting device. In the 69 individuals I have a single plasma sample, and a single tissue sample (both collected at the same time point). The sample time points range from 0.25 to 120 days (post deployment), 2 individuals contributing at each time point. In the 1 individual I have greater than 8 sample points in each biophase. The rich data from the 1 individual suggests 2 compartment disposition in both plasma and tissue (a 4 compartment model described the data quite well in WinNonLin). Pooling the sparse data at each dose level, suggests 2 compartment disposition in both blood and plasma. My questions are:- 1) Would you take a population approach to this data? - can mean population parameters and their variability be robustly estimated? 2) Would you expect the parameters of a 4 cmpt model (8 thetas and at least 4 omegas) to be reliably estimated with this data? Any thoughts much appreciated.
