Subject: [NMusers] indirect response model
Date: Wed, August 18, 2004 9:50 pm
Dear NONMEM users,
I am trying to use ADVAN6 to fit a indirect response model for a
endogenous substance suppression by drug.
$DES
DADT(1)=-KA*A(1)
DADT(2)=KA*A(1)+K21*A(3)-K12*A(2)-K10*A(2)
DADT(3)=K12*A(2)-K21*A(3)
CP=A(2)/S2
EFF=1-CP*0.1/(EC50+CP*0.1)
DADT(4)=Rcort*EFF-KE*A(4)
The baseline follow a circadian rhythm, this rhythm (Rcort) is controlled by
four parameters which I want to estimate. I do have baseline profile for each
subject. The question is how should I set up the data records and control stream
to incorparate the baseline into my dataset. I was able to fit the data without
baseline data, but the prediction for time 0 is all 0. Since in my case Rcort is
not a parameter to estimate, the F4 method does not work for me.
Thanks in advnace!

Kai,
Presumably if you could arrange for a constant rate input of something you could
write a model to transform the constant input into a parametric circadian rhythm.
If you set up a large AMT e.g. 1000000 and a nominal RATE of 1 with CMT=4 then you
can have a constant input to play with to make Rcort a rhythmic input for DADT(4).
F4 would be used to set an appropriate scale for the input.

Kai,
I would try adding your baseline measurements to the dataset starting at
time=0,initialize the amount in compartment 4 to an appropriate value,
and include your equation for Rcort in $PK if it is not dependent on
continuous time (TIME) or in $DES if dependent on continuous time (T).
To initialize the amt in cmt=4, I would add an additional dose record
with cmt=4 at time=0 with amt=the measurement of the endogenous
substance at time=0 (i.e., the first observation from your baseline data
would double as a dose and a measurement).
If your concerned about measurement error for the time=0 measurement of
the endogenous substance, you can estimate F4=1+eta(n) or F4=
1*(1+eta(n)), etc. where the eta would represent the measurement error
for the substance at time=0.
Note: Because all of the baseline records for the endogenous substance
would come before the first dose of the drug, cp will be zero throughout
the baseline period and eff=1.
Regards,
Luann
