Hi,
I have a data set containing PK concentrations and PD effect.
When plotting PD as a function of PD a clear anti-clockwise hysteresis
plot appears.
I would like to get a (rough) estimate of the PD time delay w.r.t. the PK
without
using a compartmental description for the observed PK, even not using
a polynomal function that fits the PK. The assumption I make is that
all PD delay can be explained by the delay through an effect compartment.
I am wondering if methods exist that solely use the raw data to
calculate such time delays.
Thank you for any comment/suggestion,
Jos

Estimation of ke0 from raw data

Latest: Sep 14, 2015
Hi Jos,
Why not try the indirect response model instead? The fixed effects are more
interpretable pharmacologically than just using Ke0.
The initial estimate of the first order rate constant of degradation (kout) of
response could be the slope of the decline of the response when plotted with
time.
You can read more in detail as there is lot of literature if you are not
familiar with these models.

Hi Jos,
Leonid has a post on it from some time ago, where he shows code to do
indeed linear interpolation.
see http://www.cognigencorp.com/nonmem/current/2008-January/4167.html
See also some older thread that discusses more possibilities:
http://www.cognigencorp.com/nonmem/nm/99sep241996.html
Anyway, it comes down to storing the current and previous concentration,
calculating the slope and with these parameters, interpolate in the $DES
block with T for time.
Hope this helps,
Jeroen

Jos,
It is not very clear what exactly you need. If you can use modeling tools, then linear interpolation + effect compartment + Emax model for the effect compartment versus PD dependence should work. If you would like to use only the raw data, no modeling, NCA style analysis, then the difference between Tmax of PK and Tmax of PD could be used as a crude estimate of the delay. Or you can use hysteresis curve for the PK curve with the time delay (with linear interpolation) and PD, and change the time delay for PK part until the hysteresis would disappear (using some metrics what does it mean "disappear"; may be area inside the loop is small). The time shift that provides smallest hysteresis area is the delay time.

Ken Kowalski published a paper many years ago which I think he called a
semicompartmental method. It was not developed as a population approach and
only applies to single dose data but works really well under those conditions.
It was published in the Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics.

Hi Brian and others,
Thank you for all your replies. I’ve indeed found a solution in Phoenix. Using
Phoenix it was fairly simple to get an estimate on ke0
without using any assumption on the PK or PD (no time course PKPD model
needed), except for the effect compartment itself.
It is a quick manual try-and-error approach to collapse the hysteresis PK-PD
curve resulting in an estimate for ke0.
Kind regards,
Jos

Subject: Re: [NMusers] RE: Estimation of ke0 from raw data
Ken Kowalski published a paper many years ago which I think he called a
semicompartmental method. It was not developed as a population approach and
only applies to single dose data but works really well under those conditions.
It was published in the Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics.

Dear Jos,
Although you have found a solution already, I would like to point to the
following publication:
Unadkat JD, Bartha F, Sheiner LB. Simultaneous modeling of
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with nonparametric kinetic and
dynamic models. Clin Pharmacol Ther 1986; 40: 86-93.
If I understand you correctly, this approach is exactly what you were
asking for. The PK, consisting of linear interpolation between the
observations, so purely nonparametric and noncompartmental, is used as
the driving force for the effect compartment concentration Ce with a
first-order rate constant ke0. Plotting Ce versus E gives a hysteresis
plot, and by adjusting ke0 the increasing and declining part of the
curve can be made to collapse. The PD model can be used parametrically
and nonparametrically.
I have applied this approach in several papers, also comparing various
approaches, e.g.
Proost JH, Schiere S, Eleveld DJ, Wierda JMKH. Simultaneous versus
sequential pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic population analysis using an
Iterative Two-Stage Bayesian technique. Biopharm Drug Dispos 2007;
28(8): 455-473.
I did not check whether this approach may the same method as used in
Phoenix.
