Re: Indirect response model
Dear Nishit,
If I understand correctly, you are using concentration (COP) of
your drug as a time dependent covariate which is then used as
forcing function for your PD model.
As concentrations change over time, you probably need the
CALLFL = 0 option ($PK CALLFL=0) to read in the concentration
at every new time. I would write out COP in $TABLE in order to
check, if COP changes over time as it should.
This should work much better, but it will still give you a piecewise
constant concentration profile. This may cause numerical problems.
Instead, I would include the differential equations for your PK
model. This should give you better numerical stability and more
correct concentration predictions. You could start with reading in
the individual PK parameters (IPP approach, see reference below)
and then go to more complex PKPD analyses.
You might try the MATRIX=S statement in $COV, if you like to get
the covariance step to work.
Hope some of this works.
Best regards
Juergen

Betreff: [NMusers] Indirect response model
I am conducting a sequential pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model. The
pharmacokinetic fits look good and I was using an indirect response model. The
PD model is that the drug inhibits clearance of the analyte (PD response), thus
one expects that the response increases with increasing drug (Model II). There
is a baseline measured (=Kfor/Kcl) and a dummy dose=1 unit given. It seems
despite trying various permutations of the model, eta1 seems to be very small
and no covariance step is conducted. The model and data for the first 3
subjects are reproducted below. Any assistance would be appreciated. Note
that since conc (COP) are read in, the model only requires a single
differential equation. Any insight would be appreciated.
