This course is intended for physicians, pharmacists and biomedical scientists with an interest in population pk/pd modeling, and also for those interested in therapeutic drug monitoring and optimally precise individualization of drug therapy for patient care.

 

Prior experience in clinical pharmacokinetics will be an advantage. Participants will be introduced to the USC*PACK software, which can be used both for therapeutic drug monitoring and optimal individualization of drug dosage regimens, as well as for parametric and nonparametric population PK/PD and physiological modeling.

 

This course will also introduce the new Win*USC*PACK software for "Multiple Model" design of dosage regimens that hit target goals with maximal precision.

 

This method is based first on nonparametric population models. It also obtains a patient's Bayesian posterior nonparametric individual model, and, if needed, to detect and quantify the interoccasional variability in each patient's individual model, thus permitting detection of unsuspected changes in parameter values such as take place with the volume of distribution (and other parameters), in aminoglycoside antibiotics, for example, with changes in the patient's status.

 

This sequential Bayesian "Interacting Multiple Model" Bayesian approach to interoccasional intra-individual variability comes from the aerospace community, where it is used to track evasive targets.

 

It is new, to our knowledge, in the pharmacokinetic community. It is designed to track the behavior of drugs, especially in unstable patients, with maximum precision, to detect unsuspected changes in a patient's parameter values during the period of the data analysis, and to permit achievement of target therapeutic goals with maximum precision.
