Re: Query on model development

Hi Tausif, When you use ADVAN2 there are three types of scaling factors you can use depending upon the problem (S1=Depot, S2=Central, S3=Output). So in your case, it should be S2=V/1000 instead of S1=V/1000. Hope it helps Regards Nitin Tausif Ahmed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear All, I am new to the field of POP-PK. We are developing a POP-PK model for our in-house drug. The conc. are in ng/mL and dose is in mg. The drug is administered orally and follows 1-compartment model. It has a short half-life of 2-3 h. We have developed the basic model using rich data from serial sampling of healthy subjects. -We have determined the Bayesian estimates of CL and V. But I think, we are overestimating these values. If we determine CL , using non-compartmental analysis (rich data )we are getting lower estimates (800 L/h), while using NONMEM (using same rich data), we are getting quite high estimates (mean for 25 mg- 4000 L/hr). Kindly give your inputs on further modifying this model to get an irreducible model and also validating the model. Thanking you in anticipation.
