Dual inhibitor synergy model
I am looking for an appropriate design and modeling strategy for inhibition of
levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in a rat model of Parkinsons disease.
Dyskinesia (AIM) is scored categorically 0,1,2,3 or 4. The two active drugs by
them selves only have a minor maximum response in the model (reversal of AIMS),
but displays synergy when combined.
My intended PKPD study design is maintaining a relative constant dyskinesia
level with levodopa, and combine three doses each (low, medium, high) of the
inhibitory drugs A and B, in a total of 9 treatments in addition to a levodopa
baseline study.
With respect to the modeling strategy, my intention is to establish a baseline
model for levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Do you have suggestions/literature
references for models that could be applied to analyse the synergistic
inhibitory responses of drug A and B?
Best regards,
Mads
