Hello,
I am trying to simultaneously model the PK of a drug and its metabolite using NONMEM.
I have plasma observations for the parent compound (17-AAG) and the metabolite (17-AG).
I also have 24hr urine collection data for both compounds. When I tried to model this
using ADVAN7 in NONMEM, it stops almost immediately with the following error:

I was able to model the above data without urine observations, so I feel there must be
something wrong with the way I am coding the urine compartments. I would really
appreciate any advice.

Hi Tarek,
I am assuming that the drug is given as an infusion from the "RATE" column in your data file.
You mentioned that you ran the model with just the parent & metabolite data in plasma. Did you
use ADVAN7 for that as well? The formation of metabolite is not well defined..Is it a saturable
process? If so, Km and Vmax should be implemented.
Also, TVCL is total clearance as shown below:
TVCL = THETA(1)
CL = TVCL*EXP(ETA(1)) So, it is not clear how the following is implemented..
TVCLM = THETA(5)
CLM = TVCLM * EXP(ETA(5))
Usually Total Clearance is modeled as CL=CLRenal + CLMetab
Just quickly browsing through the data I do not see rate being declared in your control file
as R1=RATE. Curious about how the RATE was specified in the control file when the parent & metab
concentration in plasma was modeled. I also see that V1 and V3 was scaled but not V2.
Your error structure is quite complex. It is not clear to me what the purpose of ERR(4) is.
Also your initial conditions for SIGMA seems to be very high!
Typically the ERROR could be modeled as (There are many ways to do this..).
I1=0
I2=0
I3=0
I4=0
IF (CMT.EQ.1) I1=1
IF (CMT.EQ.3) I2=1
IF (CMT.EQ.4) I3=1
IF (CMT.EQ.5) I4=1
Y=IPRED + I1*ERR(1) + I2*ERR(2) + I3*ERR(3) + I4*ERR(4)
Instead of just additive model, did you try other ERROR models for e.g. ADD+PROP etc?
Hope this helps.
Partha
