Dear European NMusers,

I am trying to get to the registration page for PAGE 2010 in Berlin. I
cannot access due to....?

This happened only 15 min after registration opened. Can somebody sort
this out?

Subject: RE: [NMusers] Duration of Absorption Time From Depot (Gut) as
Covariate

 

Hi Paul

In your first email you mentioned:

... data that suggest a dependence of AUC and Cmax upon transit time in
the gut. The elimination rates for the one compartment model are quite
similar, suggesting that the variability lies in bioavailability.
Preliminary data suggest that the absorption of this drug from the gut
is transporter-limited, and may be dependent upon the duration of time
that the drug is exposed to a specific portion of the duodenum or
jejunum.

Based on these indications, if you manage to obtain reliable predictions
for the Weibull distribution function and the time mapping parameter
[THETA(IVIVC)] these parameters embody a mixture of dissolution
transformation (in vitro to in vivo), interplay of transporters and gut
enzymes, drug permeability in different segments of the gut and the gut
physiology and anatomy e.g. small intestine transit time, duodenum
length, etc. Also the related inter-individual variability values and
covariates may not provide consistent explanation of the observed
variability. 

In such cases application of (semi) physiologically-based models
facilitates incorporation of extra information such as any
physicochemical, in vitro or imaging data as well as physiological
knowledge in the model which can give better understanding of the drug
behaviour in the body, please see:

Leonid:
Thank you very much for your clear and helpful answer.
May I suggest that the Weibull distribution function might be more
clearly written:
B= IVIVC*PAR1 
WDER=(GAMA1/B)*((T/B)**(GAMA1-1))*EXP(-(T/B)**GAMA1)

Be well.
Paul

Paul, 
No, this is not a correct way to introduce drug to depot. The idea was: 

Step 1. Fit Weibull or something similar to the dissolution data: 
time t = 0, 1, 2,... 
fraction absorbed: f = 0, 0.1, 0.5 .. 
Use model: 
f(t)=1-exp(t/to)^gamma 
Using observed dissolution data, finds t0 and gamma that would provide
good fit of the dissolution data 
If needed, add extra parameter 
f(t)=A*(1-exp(t/to)^gamma) 

Step 2: Assume some IVIVC model, for example: 
in-vivo dissolution is the same as in vitro: 
FF=1-exp(t/to)^gamma 
or 
in-vivo dissolution is faster/slower then in vitro: 
FF=1-exp(t/(THETA(IVIVC)*t0))^gamma 
where THETA is estimated 
or some other model 

Step 3: 
put drug to depot, but it should be in the $DES block, and it should be
a derivative of FF, not FF itself: 

$DES 
B=THETA(IVIVC)*t0 
WDER=GAMM/(B**GAMM))*T**(GAMM-1)*EXP(-(T/B)**GAMM) 

DADT(1)=F1*DOSE*WDER-KA*A(1) 

Here t0 and GAMM are fixed (from in-vitro data fit) while THETA(IVIVC)
corresponds to IVIVC and need to be estimated from the data. 

If you would like to stop dissolution at some time TMAX, you can use: 

$DES 
B=THETA(IVIVC)*t0 
WDER=GAMM/(B**GAMM))*T**(GAMM-1)*EXP(-(T/B)**GAMM) 
IF(T.GT.TMAX) WDER=0 
DADT(1)=F1*DOSE*WDER-KA*A(1) 

If you would like to stop absorption at some time TMAX, you can use: 
$DES 
B=THETA()*t0 
WDER=GAMM/(B**GAMM))*T**(GAMM-1)*EXP(-(T/B)**GAMM) 
IF(T.GT.TMAX) KA=0 
DADT(1)=F1*DOSE*WDER-KA*A(1) 


Thanks 
Leonid

Leonid & Jeroen: 
Thank you for your suggestions. I incorporated Jeroen's suggestion of
using MTIME below, with a slight modification (KA = TVKA *(1-MPAST(1))),
since I want to turn KA off, not on, at TOFF. 

I try below to use Leonid's suggestion of a Weibull distribution to
describe the dissolution of the oral product, rather than using multiple
AMT & RATE inputs corresponding to the dissolution data for the product.
My fit deteriorates both by OBj Func and VPC. Does the code below appear
to be appropriate for introducing the oral drug in A(1) using a Weibull
distribution? 
Thanks very much

Alternatively one may use the MTIME function in NM6 so the algebraic

Paul, 
You need to rewrite the system using differential equations rather than 
ADVAN2 and then use 

$DES 
FLAG=1 
IF(T.GE.TOFF) FLAG=0.0001 
KA=TVKA*FLAG 

In the PK block, this should not work because your TIME is discrete 
while nonmem is trying small variation of TOFF parameter to compute the 
gradient (which is indeed zero if you do it in the PK block) 

On a different note, you are assuming 1 to 1 IVIVC (in-vitro dissolution

= in vivo dissolution). It is rarely the case. You may try to describe 
your dissolution profile by some function (Weibull is very flexible) and

then use parametric expression for IVIVC (for example, time scaling) to 
insert the dose into the depot compartment (as input rate) 

Thanks 
Leonid

I have in vitro dissolution data for this (hopefully) extended release 

 

formulation, which I am introducing to the gut compartment for the human
subject PK data as events of AMT and RATE corresponding to each measured
point in the dissolution curve. Thus I am fixing it as a time-dependent
inputs over the 12 hour period following the single dose and during the
plasma sampling. Because of the non-instantaneous 

 

input function, I understand I cannot use Savik's TRANSIT model 

(2007). 

I have tried the code below to try to turn off Ka after some time TOFF,
the point at which the drug is estimated to have moved past the section
of absorption. There is no change in the gradient for TOFF, and the fit
is not improved over a simple 1 compartment absorption 

model (ADVAN2). 

I cannot turn off compartment 1 (-1) in my INPUT, since I do not know
when to turn it off (I am trying to determine this in the model). There
is extensive first pass of the compound - I do not know of any
auto-inhibition of metabolism. I suppose that I could try to trip F1 to
null at some TOFF, but tripping Ka to Null seems more physiologic. 

Can anyone suggest a snippet of code that might close Ka based upon a
covariate THETA corresponding to the time required to move past the
intestinal segment of absorption? 
Thanks very much.
