rifampicin + super-boosted lopinavir/ritonavir co-medication on F,
fixed-dose-combination tablet formulation on MTT, and a time-decaying
malnutrition effect on F and CL.

Acetaminophen
(vanRongen 2016)
|
Parent-and-metabolites population PK model for intravenous acetaminophen
(paracetamol) and its glucuronide, sulphate, and CYP2E1-oxidation
(cysteine + mercapturate) metabolites in morbidly obese and non-obese
adults (van Rongen 2016). One-compartment plasma disposition for parent
acetaminophen with four parallel elimination pathways from the central
compartment (glucuronidation, sulphation, CYP2E1 oxidation, and
unchanged renal); one-compartment plasma disposition for glucuronide and
cysteine + mercapturate metabolites each fed via a
single-transit-compartment delay; two-compartment plasma disposition for
sulphate (central + peripheral, fixed equal volumes 5.66 L each). Lean
body weight (LBW; Janmahasatian et al. 2005 equation) enters as a
power-law covariate on parent V, all three formation clearances, the
CYP2E1 transit rate constant, and glucuronide elimination CL. Total body
weight enters on the glucuronide volume of distribution.

|
Acyclovir
(Zeng 2009)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption for
acyclovir in 43 children and young people (age 0.8-19.9 years; weight
7.3-70.2 kg) with malignancy, after intravenous acyclovir (5 mg/kg q8h,
1 h infusion) or oral valacyclovir prodrug (10 mg/kg q12h), developed in
NONMEM v5.1.1 (FOCE-I) from 1216 plasma observations. Structural model:
first-order absorption (ka) from a depot with bioavailability F (oral
valacyclovir delivered as systemic acyclovir), one-compartment
disposition with first-order elimination. Allometric body-weight scaling
on CL (fixed exponent 0.75) and V (fixed exponent 1) referenced to the
cohort median 19.6 kg; CL additionally varies with creatinine clearance
via a power function (CRCL/106.7 mL/min/1.73 m2)FAC.
Inter-individual variability is diagonal on CL, V, ka, and F. Residual
error is a combined exponential (proportional after linearization) +
additive model. Inter-occasion variability on CL (19.2% CV) and V (30.4%
CV) reported by Zeng 2009 Table 3 is NOT encoded structurally here (per
the Andrews 2017 / Brooks 2021 tacrolimus precedent) – the source paper
does not define an operational occasion column for the model-library use
case.

One-compartment population PK model with first-order subcutaneous
absorption and linear elimination for adalimumab originator (Humira) and
biosimilars (Amgevita, Hyrimoz) in adults with inflammatory bowel
disease and other autoimmune disorders, fit to multicenter
therapeutic-drug-monitoring trough data from Saudi Arabia and Qatar
(Drweesh 2026). Structural backbone (V/F, IIV variances, residual error)
inherited from Marquez-Megias 2023 because Drweesh 2026 reports only ka

Amifampridine
(Thakkar 2017)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK + fractional-Emax PD model for
3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP, amifampridine) free base and its N-acetyl
metabolite 3-Ac DAP in 49 adults with Lambert-Eaton myasthenia (Thakkar
2017). Two-compartment parent + one-compartment metabolite with Fm fixed
to 1 (all parent clearance forms metabolite). Body weight is
allometrically scaled on CL/F and CLm/F3ACDAP (exponent 0.75 fixed) and
linearly on Vp/F (exponent 1 fixed), all with reference weight 82 kg.
Serum creatinine acts on CLm/F3ACDAP through (0.8/SCR)^0.7 with median
SCR 0.8 mg/dL. The PD submodel describes the Triple Timed Up and Go
(3TUG) score in seconds via a fractional-inhibitory Emax equation Effect
= E0 * (1 - Emax * Cp / (EC50 + Cp)) where Cp is the parent 3,4-DAP
plasma concentration in ng/mL.

Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for oral amodiaquine and its
CYP2C8-derived active metabolite desethylamodiaquine in adults and
children with uncomplicated Plasmodium malaria, pooled across five WWARN
cohorts (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Thailand). Two-transit
absorption (NN = 2) into a 2-compartment amodiaquine disposition model
with complete in-vivo conversion (with MW correction) to a 3-compartment
desethylamodiaquine disposition model. Allometric body-weight scaling on
CL/Q (exponent 0.75) and Vc/Vp (exponent 1.0) referenced at WT = 50 kg;
sigmoidal postmenstrual-age maturation on both amodiaquine and
desethylamodiaquine clearance; 22.4% lower bioavailability on the first
daily dose relative to subsequent doses.
|
|
Amoxicillin
(Tang 2019)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order elimination for
intravenous amoxicillin in Chinese neonates and young infants (Tang
2019). Current weight enters as a fixed allometric power on both volumes
(exponent 1) and on CL and Q (exponent 0.75); CL is further modulated by
a maturation factor F_age that is the product of two power functions of
gestational age and postnatal age. Interindividual variability is
estimated on the peripheral volume V2 and on CL only; residual
variability follows an exponential model (proportional in linear space).

|
AmphotericinB
liposomal (Hong 2006)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for liposomal amphotericin B
(AmBisome) in 39 pediatric oncology patients receiving 1-h IV infusions
(Hong 2006). Clearance and central volume scale exponentially with body
weight centered at the cohort-median 21 kg; the paper additionally
reports substantial between-occasion variability on CL and V1 that is
encoded here as IIV on fixed-at-1 multiplicative anchors (Bellanti 2015
IOV-as-IIV pattern).
|
|
Ampicillin
(Tremoulet 2014)
|
One-compartment IV population PK model for ampicillin in preterm and
term neonates (Tremoulet 2014; opportunistic POPS / PTN study).
Clearance is allometrically scaled linearly to body weight and modulated
by a serum-creatinine power factor (0.6/SCR)^0.428 and a
postmenstrual-age power factor (PMA/37)^1.34. Central volume scales
linearly with body weight (0.399 L/kg). Inter-individual variability is
supported on CL only; residual variability is proportional.

|
Anakinra
(Urien 2013)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for subcutaneous
anakinra (recombinant nonglycosylated human IL-1 receptor antagonist) in
87 children and adolescents (8 months to 21 years, 4.3 to 83 kg) treated
for systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) and diverse
autoinflammatory syndromes (Urien 2013). First-order absorption (Ka)
into a single central compartment with first-order elimination; apparent
clearance CL/F and apparent volume V/F are allometrically scaled to body
weight with estimated power exponents (0.47 on CL/F and 0.76 on V/F,
reference 70 kg). Inter-individual variability is reported on CL/F and
between-occasion variability on V/F; no other covariate effect (age,
sex, co-administered anti-inflammatory drugs) was retained.

Anifrolumab
(Almquist 2022)
|
Two-compartment QSS-TMDD population PK model for anifrolumab
(anti-IFNAR1 IgG1-kappa) in healthy volunteers and adults with systemic
lupus erythematosus (Almquist 2022): linear plus quasi-steady-state
target-mediated elimination via a dynamic IFNAR1 receptor pool,
time-varying linear clearance (Emax-on-time), and IFNGS-high/low and
body-weight covariate effects.

Anrukinzumab
(Hua 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for anrukinzumab (anti-IL-13 IgG1
monoclonal antibody) with first-order SC absorption and linear
elimination, pooling healthy volunteers, mild-to-moderate asthma,
moderate-to-severe asthma, and ulcerative colitis patients (Hua 2015)
|
|
Anthracycline
troponinT (deVriesSchultink 2018)
|
Kinetic-pharmacodynamic (K-PD) direct-effect model for serum
high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-TnT) in early-breast-cancer
patients receiving an adjuvant anthracycline regimen (de Vries Schultink
2018). The dose enters a virtual K-PD body amount compartment with
first-order elimination at rate kel; the linear direct effect TRP = TRP0
* (1 + SLOPE * Aant) raises serum troponin T above a population baseline
TRP0 in proportion to the current K-PD amount. The proportional SLOPE is
anthracycline-type dependent: epirubicin produces a 0.524-fold smaller
effect than the doxorubicin reference, encoded jointly by the
CONMED_DOXORUBICIN and CONMED_EPIRUBICIN indicators. No other covariates
retained. Companion file
deVriesSchultink_2018_trastuzumab_LVEF.R consumes the
per-subject peak troponin T from this model as a covariate.

Anti
tryptase (Rymut 2023)
|
Mechanistic population PK/PD model for the anti-tryptase IgG4 monoclonal
antibody MTPS9579A in healthy adults and adults with moderate-to-severe
asthma (Rymut 2023). Two-compartment serum disposition with first-order
SC absorption and allometric weight scaling on linear CL and central
volume; quasi-equilibrium (QE) TMDD describes saturable binding of
MTPS9579A to total monomeric serum tryptase; a mechanistic airway
interstitial-fluid (ISF) compartment receives free mAb and mAb-monomer
complex from the systemic circulation through lymph flow with vascular
reflection coefficients; in the ISF, tryptase is secreted as the active
tetramer (target_isf), spontaneously dissociates into inactive monomers
(monomer_isf), and is rapidly disrupted by bound mAb (kbreak); free
MTPS9579A binds tetramer and monomer with the same KD. Estimated
systemic TMDD parameters come from a NONMEM 7.4.3 SAEM fit to 106
healthy Phase 1 subjects (Table 1); fixed mechanistic ISF parameters
come from in vitro / physiological literature and from a healthy-subject
visual fit of the upper-airway biodistribution coefficient at 3%
(Methods, Table S2, Figure S2).

|
Apixaban
(Ueshima 2018)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenomic model for
oral apixaban in Japanese adult patients with atrial fibrillation
(Ueshima 2018). Apparent oral clearance CL/F is the sum of an apparent
renal arm (power on creatinine clearance, CCR/70) and an apparent
non-renal arm carrying two recessive-/dominant-style pharmacogenomic
factors: CYP3A5 3 carrier (genotype 1/3 or 3/*3)
reduces non-renal CL/F by a factor of 0.312, and ABCG2 421A/A (rs2231142
homozygous variant) reduces non-renal CL/F by a factor of 0.341.
Apparent volume of distribution Vd/F = 24.7 L (no significant
covariates). Absorption rate constant ka was fixed at 0.42 1/h from a
prior publication (Frost 2013 Br J Clin Pharmacol, reference 13 in the
paper) because the sparse trough-and-2-point-postdose sampling design
lacked enough absorption-phase data to identify ka.

|
Apomine
(Bonate 2004)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral apomine (a synthetic
bisphosphonate-ester anti-cancer agent) in 38 subjects – 19 healthy
adult males and 19 male and female patients with advanced solid tumours
– pooled from four model-development studies (Bonate 2004 Studies 1, 2,
5, 6) with three validation studies (Studies 3, 4, 7). Apomine is
administered orally with or without food in single and multiple-dose
regimens over 30 to 2100 mg total daily dose. Disposition is a
two-compartment model with linear elimination and a first-order
absorption mixture: a dominant Group 1 subpopulation (97 %, paper P1
logit) with an estimable lag time and faster absorption rate, and a
minority Group 2 subpopulation (3 %) with no lag time and slower
absorption (Table 3). Apparent oral clearance is time-dependent via an
empirical sigmoid Emax auto-induction model in elapsed time (CL = CL0 +
CLmax * time^n / (t50^n + time^n); Table 3), reaching 50 % of the
maximal induction-driven increment in about two days. Relative
bioavailability F1 is dose-saturable (F1 = D50 / (Dose + D50)) with an
additional fractional food effect (1 + theta_food * FED), where the
F1max anchor is structurally fixed at 1 (Table 3). Cancer patients have
lower baseline CL/F and lower central volume than healthy males (encoded
via the DIS_CANCER indicator with log-additive effects e_cancer_cl and
e_cancer_vc back-derived from Table 3); intercompartmental clearance and
peripheral volume are common to both populations. Central volume scales
proportionally with body weight at a fixed allometric exponent of 1.0
(Table 3). A bimodal high-Vp subpopulation observed in the four
healthy-male multiple-dose subjects (Bonate 2004 Study 2) is encoded as
a binary indicator MIX_HIGH_VP multiplying the typical peripheral volume
by 23.5. Inter-occasion variability (18 % on CL and Vc, Table 3) is
omitted from this file because occasion definitions are
study-design-specific (per the standard nlmixr2lib practice; see
vignette Assumptions and deviations).

Aripiprazole
(Knights 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral aripiprazole in adult
psychiatric patients (Knights 2015), with first-order absorption,
linear-deviation weight (gated by WT < 115 kg) and age effects on
apparent oral clearance, multiplicative CYP2D6 poor-metabolizer effect
on CL/F, linear weight (gated by WT < 115 kg) and age effects with
multiplicative female-sex effect on the peripheral volume, linear weight
(gated by WT < 115 kg) effect with multiplicative female-sex effect
on apparent inter-compartmental clearance, correlated inter-individual
variability across Vc/F, Q/F, and Vp/F, independent IIV on ka and CL/F,
and a proportional residual error.
|
|
Aripiprazole
(Koue 2007)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral aripiprazole in healthy
Japanese male volunteers (Koue 2007), with first-order absorption, an
absorption lag time, body-weight linear scaling on Vc/F, Vp/F, Q/F, and
CL/F, additive linear-deviation CYP2D6 intermediate- and
poor-metabolizer effects on CL/F (Group 1 = extensive metabolizer
reference), an additive linear-deviation itraconazole-coadministration
(CYP3A4 inhibitor) effect on CL/F, independent inter-individual
variability on every structural parameter, and a log-normal
(exponential) residual error.

|
Artemether
(Hietala 2010)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for oral artemether (ARM)
and its active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in 50 Tanzanian
children (ages 1-10 years, weights 8-30 kg) with uncomplicated
Plasmodium falciparum malaria treated with the standard six-dose
weight-based Coartem (artemether 20 mg + lumefantrine 120 mg per tablet)
regimen at 0, 8, 24, 36, 48, and 60 hours (Hietala 2010). Absorption is
first-order with ka fixed at 1/h. Disposition is two-compartment for ARM
with complete in-vivo conversion to DHA (bioavailability of DHA fixed at
1 to render the metabolite model identifiable); DHA disposition is
one-compartment. The apparent oral clearance of ARM is time-dependent
with a linear increase per dose number occasion (CL/F_ARM = theta1 * (1
+ theta2 * (OCC - 1)), OCC = 1..6), reproducing a ~3.4-fold rise over
the six-dose regimen attributed to enzyme induction. All PK parameters
are reported per kilogram body weight (linear weight normalisation
applied inside model()).
|
|
Artemether
(Tarning 2012)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for oral artemether and its
active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in 21 pregnant women (2nd or
3rd trimester) with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in
Uganda after the standard fixed-dose oral artemether-lumefantrine
regimen (Tarning 2012). Absorption is flexible: zero-order dissolution
into a depot of duration DUR feeds a 6-compartment transit chain at rate
ktr; the same ktr empties transit6 into central (ka set equal to ktr).
Disposition is 1-compartment for both artemether and DHA with complete
in-vivo conversion of artemether to DHA. Relative bioavailability F is
fixed at 1 with log-normal IIV; no statistically significant covariates
were retained in the final model (Methods / Results); a single combined
additive residual on log-transformed plasma concentrations is shared by
both species.

|
Artemether
parasitemia (Hietala 2010)
|
Joint artemether (ARM) + dihydroartemisinin (DHA) PK model coupled to a
semimechanistic Plasmodium falciparum parasite life-cycle PD model in
Tanzanian children (ages 1-10 years, weights 8-30 kg) with uncomplicated
falciparum malaria (Hietala 2010). The PK is the same Table 1
two-compartment ARM (with time-dependent CL/F_ARM via the OCC
dose-occasion covariate) and one-compartment DHA structure as
modellib(‘Hietala_2010_artemether’). The PD (Table 3) is a five-stage
parasite life-cycle model: parasites mature through tinyrings (PTR),
smallrings (PSR), largerings (PLR), and mature trophozoites / schizonts
(PMT), and parasites killed or injured by drug accumulate in a spleen
compartment (Pspleen) before clearance at a fixed elimination rate
k_spleen = 0.26 / h (Gordi et al. 2002, ref 9). Replication is encoded
as a multiplication factor REPL_p applied to the PMT -> PTR transit
(estimated to 4 in symptomatic patients; fixed to 1 in asymptomatic
children, not encoded in this file). Drug killing is modelled on all
visible developmental stages as k_ARM = S * log[ARM] and k_DHA = S *
log[DHA] with shared slope S_ARMDHA = 0.073 (Table 3). Visible
parasitemia is the sum of the ring-stage compartments plus the spleen
pool. Lumefantrine effect was tested but not retained in the source
paper and is intentionally absent from this model.

Artemisinin
(Birgersson 2016)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral artemisinin in 15 healthy
male Vietnamese volunteers, with a seven-compartment transit-absorption
chain (number of transits fixed at 7). The published final model carries
inter-occasion variability on apparent clearance and mean transit-time
and inter-individual variability on relative bioavailability; for
forward simulation in nlmixr2lib the IOV terms are mapped onto etas
(etalcl, etalmtt) so a single-occasion simulation reproduces the
population variability. The published full covariate analysis found no
clinically significant effect (>20 %) of formulation, dose level (160
vs 500 mg), or concomitant piperaquine on the structural PK parameters,
so no covariates are carried in the model.
|
|
Artemisinin
(Sidhu 1998)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption for oral
artemisinin in 23 paediatric (2-12 y) and 31 adult (16-45 y) Vietnamese
patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria, fit to sparse capillary
plasma samples from a 5-day 10 mg/kg/day field-setting regimen. Separate
population estimates for CL/F and V/F are carried for adults
(per-subject) and children (per-kg body weight) via a CHILD age-group
covariate. Time-dependency in artemisinin disposition is modelled as a
6.9-fold systematic decrease in oral bioavailability between the Day 1
and Day 5 doses, with the published inter-occasion variability on
apparent CL/F and V/F retained per occasion. Inter-individual
variability on CL/F and V/F is collectively estimated for both age
groups; the published etaCL/etaVc correlation ‘near unity’ is encoded at
0.95 for numerical stability.

|
Artesunate
(Hendriksen 2013)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model of intramuscular artesunate
(ARS) and its active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in 70 African
children aged 7 months to 11 years admitted with severe Plasmodium
falciparum malaria (Hendriksen 2013). Each species has a one-compartment
apparent-volume disposition; ARS is delivered by a zero-order input over
a 1-min fixed duration (the IM absorption from the injection site, fixed
because too few samples were collected during the absorption phase to
identify the rate) and is converted mole-for-mole to DHA with no
separate parent elimination. Body weight is the dominant covariate
(allometric scaling with fixed exponents 0.75 on apparent clearance and
1.0 on apparent volume for both species; reference 10.9 kg), with
hemoglobin additionally lowering DHA clearance by 10.2% per g/dL above
the reference 7.1 g/dL.

|
Artesunate
(LohyDas 2018)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model of oral artesunate (ARS) and
its active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in 50 adult patients with
uncomplicated, artemisinin sensitive or resistant Plasmodium falciparum
malaria in southern Myanmar (Lohy Das 2018, Malaria Journal). ARS
absorption is described by a 3-transit-compartment chain (n = 3 fixed)
followed by a one-compartment ARS disposition; complete in-vivo
conversion of ARS to DHA is assumed (all ARS clearance is metabolic
conversion). DHA disposition is one-compartment. Allometric body-weight
scaling is applied to all CL (exponent 0.75) and V (exponent 1.0)
parameters, centered on the population-median 50 kg. F is fixed at 1.
The packaged model file omits the published time-varying
parasite-density covariates on MTT and on F (Eqs. 3 and 4) and the
entire PD layer (mixture-Emax parasite-killing model with effect
compartment); both depend on the upstream Lohy Das 2017 AAPS J paper
(ref [36]) which is not on disk. See the vignette’s Assumptions and
deviations section for the rationale.

Artesunate
(Morris 2011)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for single-dose oral
artesunate (AS) and its active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in 26
pregnant and 25 non-pregnant women with asymptomatic Plasmodium
falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Morris 2011).
Each species has a one-compartment apparent-volume disposition, with
mixed zero-order plus lagged first-order absorption of AS and complete
in-vivo conversion of AS to DHA (no separate AS elimination). Pregnancy
increases DHA apparent clearance by 42.3% relative to non-pregnant
controls (the only retained covariate); the postpartum sub-cohort could
not be characterised by a structural model and is not represented.

Artesunate
(Simpson 2013)
|
In vitro (P. falciparum). Sigmoid Emax inhibition model of artesunate
effect on hypoxanthine uptake by clinical Plasmodium falciparum isolates
from the Thai-Myanmar border (Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, 1993-2005),
with pfmdr1 genotype covariate effects on EC50. The ‘subject’ in the
NLME framework is a parasite isolate (n=474 isolates with artesunate
data). STIM_ARTESUNATE_NM is the per-well drug concentration in the in
vitro hypoxanthine-uptake-inhibition assay; the model has no PK and no
time evolution. E0 and Emax are fixed per Simpson 2013 Table 3 footnote.

|
Artesunate
(Tan 2009)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model of oral artesunate (AS) and
its active metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in 91 healthy Korean
adult volunteers (Tan 2009). AS is described by a one-compartment
first-order absorption / first-order elimination disposition; DHA by a
two-compartment disposition (central + peripheral). AS is converted
mole-for-mole to DHA as the only elimination pathway. Body weight
linearly increases DHA apparent clearance (1.9 L/h per kg above the 61.5
kg reference) and a high-fat / high-caloric meal at dosing reduces AS
absorption rate Ka by 84%. Subjects pooled across four Phase I studies
(single-dose ascending, drug-interaction with pyronaridine, food-effect,
and three-day multiple-dose) at 2-5 mg/kg oral AS.

Asenapine
(Dogterom 2018)

absorption for asenapine in pediatric patients (aged 10-17 years) with
schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder, or other psychiatric disorders
(Dogterom 2018 Drug Design, Development and Therapy). Central /
peripheral volumes and absorption-rate constant were fixed from a Phase
I-only fit; no intrinsic covariate (age, BMI, race, sex) was retained in
the final model. Residual error switches per observation between
intensive Phase I PK sampling (27.8% CV) and sparse Phase III efficacy
sampling (56.0% CV), with an additional between-subject scaling of the
residual SD (19.2% CV).

Atazanavir
(Dickinson 2009)
|
One-compartment first-order-absorption population PK model with
absorption lag-time for oral ritonavir-boosted atazanavir in
HIV-infected adults and healthy volunteers; ritonavir AUC0-24 (median
7.52 mg*h/L) enters CL/F via a power function (Dickinson 2009).
|
|
Atazanavir
(Rekic 2011)
|
Population PK / PD model for atazanavir (boosted with ritonavir 100 mg
QD) and its concentration-dependent effect on plasma bilirubin in adult
antiretroviral-naive HIV-positive patients from the NORTHIV trial (Rekic
2011). Atazanavir disposition is described by a one-compartment model
with first-order absorption and an absorption lag, fitted to
log-transformed plasma atazanavir concentrations; ka and the lag time
were fixed to the published values from the Colombo 2006 atazanavir
popPK report (ref 27) because sparse absorption-phase sampling did not
support their re-estimation, and CL/F and V/F were re-estimated under
fixed allometric scaling on body weight centred at 70 kg (exponents 0.75
on CL/F and 1 on V/F, both fixed a priori). The bilirubin response is
described by an indirect-response (turnover) model with
concentration-dependent inhibition of the fractional turnover rate kout:
dB/dt = kin - kout * (1 - Imax * Cc / (IC50 + Cc)) * B, with kin
re-parameterised at steady state as kin = kout * Baseline.
Inter-individual variability is supported only on V/F, CL/F (PK), and
bilirubin baseline (PD); the paper notes that the data did not support
IIV on the remaining PD parameters. PK residual variability is
proportional; bilirubin residual variability is combined additive +
proportional (the paper’s ‘slope-intercept’ model).
|
|
Atazanavir
ritonavir (Schipani 2013)
|
Simultaneous one-compartment first-order-absorption popPK model for oral
atazanavir (ATV) and ritonavir (RTV) in 30 HIV-infected adults receiving
ATV/RTV 300/100 mg once daily, with a direct sigmoidal-Emax inhibition
of ATV apparent clearance by RTV plasma concentration (Imax = 0.988,
IC50 = 0.221 mg/L). Both drugs share a one-compartment structure with
first-order absorption and an absorption lag time; ka values are fixed
to the separate-model final estimates (ATV ka = 1.81 1/h, RTV ka = 0.898
1/h) because joint estimation produced numerical instability.
Inter-individual variability is carried on V/F for both drugs and on
CL/F for RTV (correlated with V/F RTV, rho = 0.75); ATV CL/F is fitted
without IIV. Demographic covariates and tenofovir co-administration were
tested and none retained (Schipani 2013).

risk for Ureaplasma respiratory tract colonization (Merchan 2015).
Pooled re-analysis of three studies (single 10 mg/kg, single 20 mg/kg,
and 3 daily doses of 20 mg/kg). Two-compartment linear model with all PK

Azithromycin
(Sampson 2014)
|
Four-compartment mamillary population PK model for oral azithromycin
simultaneously describing concentrations in whole blood, peripheral
blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) in
healthy adults (Sampson 2014). First-order absorption with lag;
unidirectional flow from central to PBMC and to PMN compartments;
bidirectional flow between central and a peripheral tissue compartment;
elimination from central, PBMC, and PMN compartments. The observed
whole-blood concentration is a weighted sum of plasma, PBMC, and PMN
concentrations.

|
Azithromycin
(Zheng 2014)
|

azithromycin in healthy adults (Zheng 2014). Three-compartment plasma PK
(depot with absorption lag time and first-order absorption, central, two
peripheral compartments) with concentration-dependent fraction unbound
in plasma (equation 1). Three tissue distribution compartments (muscle
interstitial space fluid, subcutaneous adipose tissue interstitial space
fluid, polymorphonuclear-leukocyte (PML) cytosol) each driven by free
unbound (or, for PML cytosol, free unionized) plasma drug via
first-order rate constants kin and kout, with tissue-specific
distribution factors df_muscle, df_adipose, df_pmn that scale the
steady-state tissue:plasma free-unbound ratio. Each tissue compartment
also exchanges with a deep nonspecific phospholipid-binding compartment
via shared kon and koff (Methods equations 1-13).

|
Azithromycin
(Zheng 2018)
|
Pediatric population PK model for intravenous azithromycin in children

with linear elimination, allometric scaling on clearance and
intercompartmental clearance (exponent 0.75 fixed) and on central and
peripheral volumes (exponent 1.0 fixed) with reference body weight 21.5
kg, and a binary alanine aminotransferase covariate that reduces CL by

|
Bedaquiline
(Svensson 2014)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for bedaquiline (BDQ) and a
two-compartment N-desmethyl metabolite M2 in healthy adult volunteers
following single 400 mg oral doses, with Savic 2007 analytical
transit-compartment absorption (non-integer NN feeding a first-order
depot at rate ka), fixed allometric scaling on disposition (0.75 on CL/Q
at 70 kg, 1 on Vc/Vp), and multiplicative rifampicin or rifapentine
drug-drug-interaction factors of 4.78 and 3.96 on bedaquiline and M2
apparent clearance, applied at full induction from day 3 of rifamycin
co-administration.
|
|
Bedaquiline
(Svensson 2017)
|
Pharmacodynamic exposure-response model for the mycobacterial load (MBL,
n bacteria per sample inoculum) in adult patients with drug-resistant
pulmonary tuberculosis treated with bedaquiline plus an optimized
background regimen. The latent MBL state declines mono-exponentially
with a half-life HL that is prolonged by 28.1% in patients with pre-XDR
or XDR tuberculosis and shortened by individual bedaquiline
weekly-average plasma concentration CAV via an Emax model with the
maximum fractional effect on HL fixed at -100% (EC50 1.42 mg/L). The
per-subject starting MBL_0 is informed by the baseline mean
Time-to-Positivity in MGIT liquid culture (TTP_MGIT_BASE) via a
power-form covariate (exponent -3.69 around the cohort median 6.8 days).
Inter-individual variability on log HL uses a Box-Cox-transformed eta
distribution (Petersson 2009 form, shape 0.66, variance 0.33);
inter-occasion variability in sputum sampling on log MBL (variance 3.71)
is folded into the residual log-scale error. The Svensson 2017 source’s
full 3-component model (longitudinal MBL plus per-sample probability of
bacterial presence plus MGIT-tube logistic-growth-driven time-to-event
for observed TTP) is reduced here to the MBL component, with the latent
MBL state treated directly as the observable; the
probability-of-presence and tube-growth-driven TTP machinery are
measurement-model artifacts of how MBL was inferred from TTP data and
are dropped (see vignette Assumptions and deviations). Bedaquiline CAV
is supplied as a time-varying covariate column from any popPK source;
the upstream popPK paper (Svensson 2016 CPT PSP, reference 21) is
shipped in nlmixr2lib as modellib(‘Svensson_2016_bedaquiline’).

Bedaquiline
(Svensson 2018)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for the antimycobacterial
bedaquiline (BDQ) and a two-compartment N-desmethyl metabolite M2 in
healthy adult volunteers following single 400 mg oral doses, with
four-transit-compartment first-order absorption (rate of absorption from
the last transit compartment fixed equal to the inter-transit transfer
rate, i.e. KA = KTR) and a multiplicative formulation effect adding 23%
to the typical mean absorption time when the four 100 mg tablets are
suspended in water before swallowing relative to swallowing the tablets
whole.

Belantamab
(Papathanasiou 2025)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for the antibody-drug conjugate
(ADC) belantamab mafodotin in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple
myeloma, with sigmoidal time-varying clearance and covariate effects of

|
Belatacept
(Shen 2013)
|
PK/PD model for belatacept (CTLA-4/IgG1 fusion protein, selective T-cell
co-stimulation blocker) in adult kidney transplant recipients (Shen
2013). The PK side is a one-compartment IV-infusion model derived from
the paper’s noncompartmental analysis (Table 1, 10 mg/kg substudy, n =
10): typical clearance and volume for a 70 kg adult are set so the model
reproduces the reported geometric-mean CL, Vss, AUC over a 4-week dosing
interval, and ~8-9 day terminal half-life. The PD side is the inhibitory
Emax model of Eq. 2 (Section 3.2, n = 62 in the phase II
corticosteroid-avoidance substudy IM103034) describing free CD86
receptor expression on peripheral-blood monocytes (MESF) as E0 - Emax *
Cc / (EC50 + Cc); CD86 receptor occupancy is derived as 100 * (E0 -
freeCD86) / E0. Belatacept exhibited linear PK across 5-10 mg/kg with
relatively low between-subject variability; the full population PK with
body-weight covariates was published separately by Zhou et al. (2012)
and is not refit here.

Benznidazole
(Soy 2015)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and
first-order elimination for oral benznidazole in adult patients with
chronic Chagas disease (Soy 2015; CINEBENZ trial, n = 39 index plus n =
10 external validation). Apparent clearance CL/F = 1.73 L/h, apparent
volume of distribution V/F = 89.6 L, and absorption rate constant Ka =
1.15 1/h fixed from the literature (Raaflaub & Ziegler 1979).
Inter-individual variability is on CL/F (33.4% CV) and V/F (68.8% CV);
inter-occasion variability is on CL/F (29.5% CV), folded into the CL/F
eta as BSV-equivalent for forward simulation. Residual error is combined
additive (0.57 mg/L) plus proportional (19.53% CV). No demographic or
biological covariates were retained in the final model.

life-cycle (proliferating drug-sensitive S and non-growing
drug-insensitive R) with sigmoidal Emax killing of S via an effect
compartment; first-order drug elimination (ke set per in vitro
kinetic-system flow rate) plus drug-specific degradation kdeg. Parameter

Betamethasone
(Schoenmakers 2025)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption (no lag
time) for intramuscular betamethasone in pregnant women admitted with
imminent preterm birth, including early-onset pre-eclampsia (eoPE;
diagnosed before 34 weeks gestation). Apparent clearance is multiplied
by 0.617 (a 38% reduction, or ~60% of the non-eoPE clearance) when eoPE
is present; this is the only retained covariate after backward
elimination at P < 0.01. Body weight, BMI, lean body weight, age,
gestational age, number of foetuses, white blood cell counts and CRP
were screened but did not retain after backward elimination.

Brentuximab
(Li 2017)
|
Semimechanistic coupled population PK model for brentuximab vedotin
antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) and its released small-molecule payload
monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) in adults with CD30-expressing
hematologic malignancies (Li 2017). ADC is described by a linear
3-compartment model with first-order elimination; MMAE by a linear
2-compartment model with first-order elimination. MMAE formation is
driven by (1) proteolytic degradation of the ADC (scaled by a
time-decaying drug-antibody ratio DAR(t) and a cycle-dependent fraction
Fmc = Cycle^Fm) and (2) a first-order deconjugation flux proportional to
the per-ADC MMAE payload above the minimum-detectable DAR. Modeled in
molar units (amount nmol, volume L, concentration pmol/mL = nmol/L = nM)
following the paper’s convention.

Coupled population PK model for brentuximab vedotin antibody-drug
conjugate (ADC) and its released payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE)
in 380 patients with CD30-positive malignancies (Hodgkin lymphoma,
systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, mycosis fungoides, primary
cutaneous ALCL) pooled from six clinical studies including the phase III
ALCANZA study (Suri 2018). ADC is described by a linear 3-compartment
model with zero-order input and first-order elimination; MMAE by a
2-compartment model with first-order elimination, fed from ADC by (a) a
saturable target-binding flux KdTargetADC (initial Target = 1,
irreversibly depleted) and (b) a proteolytic flux
FMexp(-ALFMtad)K10ADC whose conversion fraction
declines as a function of time after the most recent dose. Both fluxes
accumulate in an intermediate Lag compartment that empties to MMAE
central with rate Klag (FM is fixed to 1).

Brentuximab
(Zhou 2025)
|
Coupled population PK model for brentuximab vedotin antibody-drug
conjugate (ADC) and its released payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE)
in pediatric patients (5-18 years) with relapsed/refractory or newly
diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma or systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma
(Zhou 2025). ADC is described by a linear 3-compartment model with
first-order elimination; MMAE by a 2-compartment model with first-order
elimination. ADC -> MMAE flux is the sum of (a) a one-time saturable
target-binding flux KdTargetADC (initial Target = 1 unitless,
irreversibly depleted) and (b) a proteolytic flux
FMexp(-ALFMtad)K10ADC where the conversion fraction
declines as a function of time after the most recent dose. Both fluxes
accumulate in an intermediate Lag compartment that empties to MMAE
central with rate Klag. Final-model parameter values come from Zhou 2025
supplementary Tables S1 (ADC) and S2 (MMAE); equations come from the
NONMEM control streams in Zhou 2025 Supplementary Methods.

exponent fixed 1) with reference weight 22 kg; hockey-stick age effect
on CLin (linear increase below the 12-yr breakpoint applied to AGE
directly, multiplicative linear decrease above). Correlated IIV on CLin
and Vc; combined proportional + additive residual error (Long-Boyle
2015).

Cabazitaxel
(Ferron 2013)

|
Cabazitaxel
(Janssen 2017)

Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous cabazitaxel in 10
men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, with
individual midazolam clearance as a CYP3A metabolic-phenotype covariate
on cabazitaxel clearance (Janssen 2017 Table 2B ‘Metabolic phenotype
model’). The covariate enters via a linear deviation from the population
midazolam clearance reference of 26 L/h. The individual midazolam
clearance is sourced from the companion Janssen 2017 midazolam model
(see modellib(‘Janssen_2017_midazolam’)).

|
Cabozantinib
(Lacy 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral cabozantinib (tyrosine
kinase inhibitor) in healthy volunteers and patients with renal cell
carcinoma, castration-resistant prostate cancer, medullary thyroid
carcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, or other advanced malignancies (Lacy
2018, n=1534 across 9 clinical studies). Absorption is described by
parallel dual processes: a fraction F1 enters depot1 via first-order
absorption rate Ka with absorption lag time ALAG1, and the remaining
(1-F1) enters depot2 via zero-order infusion over duration D2. Capsule
(vs tablet, reference) formulation reduces both Ka and overall
bioavailability; Ka also scales with dose via a power function (DOSE/60
mg)^0.677. Two-compartment disposition (central + peripheral1) with
first-order elimination from central. Covariates on CL/F and Vc/F are
baseline age (power on median 64 y), body weight (power on median 81
kg), female sex, race (Black/Asian/Other vs White reference), and tumor
type (RCC/CRPC/MTC/GB/Other vs HV reference); MTC cancer type drives an
approximately 93% higher CL/F.

|
Cabozantinib
dose modification (Lacy 2018)
|
Repeated time-to-event (RTTE) hazard model for the ‘dose modification of
any kind’ (DMAK) endpoint in adults with advanced renal cell carcinoma
(RCC) treated with oral cabozantinib in the phase III METEOR study (Lacy
2018 exposure-response analysis, n=317 patients with 0-52 events per
patient). The instantaneous risk of a dose modification (interruption,
reduction, or escalation) depends on whether the patient is currently on
an active dose or on a dose interruption. When on active dose (DOSE >
0) the hazard increases log-linearly with the time-varying average
cabozantinib plasma concentration CAV. When on a dose interruption (DOSE
= 0) the hazard is governed by a separate, larger baseline log-hazard
with no cabozantinib effect (cabozantinib effect on hold-state hazard
was tested and dropped during base-model development). The drug input
Cavg is the individual predicted daily average plasma cabozantinib
concentration (ng/mL) derived from the upstream Lacy 2018 popPK model
Lacy_2018_cabozantinib. Forward simulation exposes
hazard (instantaneous DMAK rate per day) and
sur (survival = probability of no DMAK event since t = 0)
as derived outputs.

Cabozantinib
tumor (Lacy 2018)
|
Longitudinal sum-of-tumor-diameter (SOD) growth-inhibition PD model for
oral cabozantinib in adults with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
enrolled in the phase III METEOR study (Lacy 2018 exposure-response
analysis, n=319 patients with 1637 evaluable tumor-diameter
measurements). The tumor diameter Y follows first-order exponential
growth at rate k_grow, with a saturable cabozantinib drug-effect of the
form Cavg/(EC50 + Cavg) modulating a time-dependent decay rate decay(t)
= k_dmax + k_dmax_tot * exp(-k_tol * t). The k_dmax term is the
non-attenuating asymptotic decay rate, k_dmax_tot is the magnitude of
the resistance-driven loss of decay rate, and k_tol governs the
attenuation kinetics (paper-reported attenuation half-life 25.6 days).
The drug input Cavg is the individual predicted daily average plasma
cabozantinib concentration (ng/mL) carried as a time-varying CAV data
column; the upstream popPK model is Lacy_2018_cabozantinib
(Lacy 2018 popPK companion paper). Residual error is additive on Y (mm);
IIV is exponential on Y(0), k_grow, k_dmax, and k_dmax_tot, with IIV on
EC50 and k_tol fixed at a near-zero variance (paper Supplemental Table 3
footnote b).

Canakinumab
(AitOudhia 2012)
|
Integrated population PK/PD model of canakinumab (anti-IL-1beta IgG1/k
mAb) in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (Ait-Oudhia 2012).
Two-compartment popPK for total canakinumab is coupled to a
quasi-equilibrium target-binding model with endogenous IL-1beta
(zero-order production ksyn, linear clearance CLL). Predicted free
IL-1beta drives downstream PD: (1) a three-compartment CRP transduction
chain with a power-law stimulation (beta) on free-IL-1beta ratio and an
empirical amplification (gamma) on the input to the third compartment,
and (2) a single-compartment ACR latent variable (ACRL) regulated by a
sigmoid Emax on the drop in free IL-1beta below baseline plus a
first-order placebo build-up; the latent is mapped to ACR20/50/70
response probabilities via a logit transform with a between-subject
random effect. Only body weight was a significant covariate (allometric
on CL, CLL, CLDL, Vc, Vp with reference 70 kg).

Canakinumab
(Chakraborty 2012)
|
Population pharmacokinetic-binding model for canakinumab (anti-IL-1b
IgG1/k monoclonal antibody) and its endogenous target IL-1b in adult
cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) patients (Chakraborty
2012). Two physical compartments (central and peripheral) each carry
three species: free canakinumab, free IL-1b, and the canakinumab-IL-1b
complex. Drug, ligand, and complex share the same volumes of
distribution; complex clearance is set equal to free-drug clearance (CLX
= CLD). Distribution between compartments uses two
permeability-surface-area coefficients: PSD for free drug and complex,
PSL for free ligand. Endogenous IL-1b production RLI enters the
peripheral compartment. Drug-ligand binding is solved algebraically
under a quasi-steady-state assumption with dissociation constant KD
(Hayashi 2007 form). Subcutaneous bioavailability F1 was estimated on
the logit scale; this file uses the Sp2/0 cell-line value (commercial
Ilaris). Body weight modifies CLD, VC, VP via centred power covariates;
serum albumin modifies CLD; age modifies SC ka. Two observed analytes:
total canakinumab (free + complex) in ug/mL and total IL-1b (free +
complex) in pg/mL.

Capecitabine
(Urien 2005)
|
Population PK model for oral capecitabine and its three sequential
metabolites 5’-DFCR (5’-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine), 5’-DFUR
(5’-deoxy-5-fluorouridine), and 5-FU (5-fluorouracil) in 40 adult
patients with metastatic cancer (Urien 2005). Capecitabine PK is a
one-compartment apparent V1/F model with first-order absorption (Ka) and
a lag time; non-transformation elimination CL10/F runs in parallel with
the formation clearance CL12/F to 5’-DFCR. Each metabolite has its own
central compartment with apparent volume fixed to 1 L (only output rate
constants are identifiable in the source NONMEM ADVAN6 fit), so the
chain 5’-DFCR -> 5’-DFUR -> 5-FU -> output is described by
first-order rate constants K23, K34, K40 (paper’s notation). Total
bilirubin (canonical TBILI; source column BILT, umol/L) is the only
retained covariate: power exponent +0.32 on CL10/F and -0.36 on K34,
both centred on the median bilirubin 8.8 umol/L. Inter-individual
variability is reported on TLAG, V1, CL10, K23, K34, and K40; ISV on
CL12 was fixed to 0 and ISV on Ka was deleted in favour of a large
inter-occasion variability on Ka that is not represented in this static
model file (see vignette Errata).

Carboplatin
(Ekhart 2008)

Two-compartment population PK model for free (ultrafilterable)
carboplatin in adult cancer patients (Ekhart 2008)
|
|
Carfentanil
iv (Mann 2022)
|
Three-compartment IV carfentanil population PK with a first-order
biophase (effect-site) equilibrium compartment, used as the agonist
input layer of the Mann 2022 translational opioid-overdose model. Mann
2022 had no full carfentanil clinical PK study to fit – only a single
microdose case report (Minkowski 2012) reporting a roughly 45-minute
plasma half-life. They therefore took the fentanyl Algera 2021 PK
micro-constants and applied a fixed set of rate- constant modifications
(k_el and k13 divided by 10; k21 and k31 multiplied by 10; k1 increased
to 10/min) to reproduce the longer plasma persistence and faster
effect-site equilibration of carfentanil. The resulting macro-constants
encoded in ini() below yield exactly those micro-constants when combined
with (WT/70)^0.75 / (WT/70) allometric scaling. Inter-subject
variability is assumed equal to the fentanyl model (same omega^2 values,
no carfentanil-specific IIV estimated). Outputs plasma concentration Cc
in ng/mL and effect-site Ce in pM for downstream consumption by
Mann_2022_mu_receptor_binding.

Carvedilol
(Honda 2005)
|
One-compartment population PK model for orally administered racemic
carvedilol in 23 healthy Japanese volunteers, with R- and S-enantiomer
whole-blood concentrations measured by chiral HPLC at 2 h and 6 h after
a single 5- or 10-mg oral dose (Honda 2005). NONMEM ADVAN1/TRANS2 with
very rapid absorption: the racemic dose is split equally between two
parallel central compartments (central_r, central_s) with no separate
absorption depot. CL/F and V/F scale linearly with body weight; an S/R
ratio theta_3 (CL/F) and theta_4 (V/F) parameterise the stereoselective
difference. One subject-level eta on CL/F and one on V/F are shared
between enantiomers (correlated block IIV, rho ~ 0.90). Power-variance
residual error with fixed exponent 1/2 (Honda Eq. 3), shared between R-
and S-enantiomer observations. CYP2D610 genotype is not in the
structural model; Honda 2005 reports the 10-carrier effect only as
a post-hoc stratification of the individual Bayes estimates (Figs. 3-4).

|
Carvedilol
(Othman 2007)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for S(-)-carvedilol in healthy
volunteers after oral administration of the immediate-release (IR) and
the new controlled-release (CR) dosage forms of carvedilol (Othman
2007). Three parallel depot compartments encode the dosage-form-specific
absorption: depot (CR, 3-stage time-varying KA), depot2 (IR morning,
2-stage), depot3 (IR evening, 2-stage). Diurnal variability in IR
absorption is captured by separate morning and evening KAs and a lower
IR-PM relative bioavailability.

Casirivimab
(Lin 2024)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for casirivimab in pediatric and
adult subjects (non-infected, ambulatory or hospitalized
SARS-CoV-2-infected, or household contacts) following IV or SC
administration (Lin 2024, casirivimab arm of the joint casirivimab +
imdevimab popPK model)
|
|
Caspofungin
(Wurthwein 2013)
|
Linear two-compartment population PK model with proportional residual
error for once-daily 2-hour intravenous caspofungin infusions (70, 100,
150, 200 mg QD) in adults with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis
(Wurthwein 2013). Clearance and central volume share a single linear
body-weight fractional change centred on the cohort median body weight
of 76 kg (CL_i = CL_typ * [1 + 0.0102 * (WT - 76)]; V1_i = V1_typ * [1 +
0.0102 * (WT - 76)]). Inter-individual variability is modelled
exponentially on CL, V1, and V2 with an estimated CL-V1 covariance
(correlation 0.802). Inter-occasion variability (16% CV) is included on
CL across five sampling occasions (days 1, 4, 7, 14, 28) via the OCC
covariate; downstream users who only need typical-value or IIV-only
simulations can pass OCC = 0 (or any value outside 1..5) so the IOV
terms zero out. Dose-level, gender, age, baseline serum bilirubin and
baseline creatinine clearance were screened but not retained.

CC292
(Li 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral CC-292 (spebrutinib, a
potent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in 145 pooled subjects: 32
healthy adults (AVL-292-004) and 113 patients with relapsed and/or
refractory B-cell malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(AVL-292-003). First-order absorption with a single absorption lag,
linear elimination from the central compartment, with linear-deviation
female-sex effect on apparent clearance (females have 26% lower CL/F)
and a power age effect on apparent central volume (reference age 62
years). Residual variability is split into healthy-volunteer and patient
strata.

Cebranopadol
(Kleideiter 2017)

Two-compartment population PK model for oral cebranopadol with two
lagged transition compartments in healthy subjects and chronic-pain
patients (Kleideiter 2017; with 2018 correction)
|
|
Cebranopadol
(Kleideiter 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for cebranopadol, a NOP / opioid
receptor agonist, in healthy adults and adult chronic-pain patients (low
back pain or osteoarthritis, diabetic polyneuropathy,
post-bunionectomy), with two transit absorption compartments before
central, first-order elimination, and covariate effects from sex, CYP2C9
phenotype, ALT, CrCl, age, body weight, formulation, and disease status
(Kleideiter 2018)
|
|
Cediranib
(Li 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral cediranib (AZD2171) in
adult cancer patients (Li 2017), with sequential zero- and first-order
absorption (zero-order release into depot followed by first-order
absorption to central), bioavailability fixed to 1, allometric power
scaling on apparent clearance ((WT/73 kg)^0.517 and (Age/59 y)^-0.409)
and on apparent central volume ((WT/73 kg)^0.65), correlated
inter-individual variability between CL/F and Vc/F (correlation 0.839),
independent IIV on Ka, and proportional residual error (rich-sampling
estimate).

|
Cefathiamidine
(Zhi 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous cefathiamidine (a
first-generation cephalosporin) in 54 children (age 2.0-11.8 years;
weight 8.0-36.0 kg) with hematologic disease, developed in NONMEM v7.2
(FOCE-I) from 120 sparse plasma samples. Structural model: first-order
elimination from a central compartment, with allometric body-weight
scaling on CL, Q (exponent 0.75) and V1, V2 (exponent 1), reference
weight 17.75 kg (the cohort median current weight). Inter-individual
variability (exponential) is estimated for CL and V2 only; residual
variability is exponential (lognormal on the linear scale). Bodyweight
was the only retained covariate; age and creatinine clearance were not
significant in the limited cohort (CrCL range 130-462 mL/min).

|
Cefepime
(Capparelli 2005)
|
One-compartment population PK model for cefepime in preterm and term
neonates (Capparelli 2005); additive renal-plus-non-renal CL on serum
creatinine, additive Vc step for PCA < 30 weeks.
|
|
Cefepime
(Jonckheere 2019)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for IV cefepime in critically ill
ICU patients (Jonckheere 2019), updated by simultaneously fitting plasma
+ urine PK from the original Jonckheere 2017 pilot (STDY1) and the
Jonckheere 2019 target-controlled-infusion cohort (STDY2). Total
clearance is the sum of an estimated-creatinine-clearance-driven renal
arm (CL_renal = 2.29 * (eCrCL/60)^0.943 L/h per 70 kg) and a
covariate-free non-renal arm (CL_nonren = 0.795 L/h per 70 kg); all PK
parameters are scaled allometrically with body weight (reference 70 kg,
exponent 3/4 for clearances, 1 for volumes). The structural form encodes
the non-dialysis patient (paper Equations 1-4); a separate CL_dialysis =
4.48 L/h applied during intermittent hemodialysis sessions in the source
dataset is documented in the vignette but not enabled in this model
file.
|
|
Cefotaxime
(Leroux 2016)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for cefotaxime in neonates and
young infants (Leroux 2016). Clearance, central volume, peripheral
volume, and inter-compartmental clearance are allometrically scaled to
current body weight (fixed exponents 0.75 on CL and Q, 1.0 on V1 and V2;
reference weight 1.665 kg). Clearance carries a power-form maturation
function on gestational age (reference 30 weeks) and postnatal age
(reference 12 days). Only CL has inter-individual variability; residual
error is proportional.

(Bulitta 2010)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for ceftazidime after 5-min IV

Cefuroxime
(Alqahtani 2018)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for cefuroxime in adults
undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with
cardiopulmonary bypass (Alqahtani 2018), with a power-form
creatinine-clearance (Cockcroft-Gault) effect on clearance.

Cefuroxime
(Nielsen 2011)
|
In vitro (Streptococcus pyogenes M12 NCTC P1800). Semimechanistic PKPD
model of cefuroxime time-kill kinetics; two-stage bacterial life-cycle
(proliferating drug-sensitive S and non-growing drug-insensitive R) with
sigmoidal Emax killing of S via an effect compartment; first-order drug
elimination (ke set per in vitro kinetic-system flow rate) plus
drug-specific degradation kdeg. Parameter values are from the combined
static and dynamic estimation in Table 3.

|
Cefuroxime
(Viberg 2006)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous cefuroxime in adult
patients with bacterial infections and a wide range of renal function
(Viberg 2006); reciprocal serum cystatin C (1/CYSC) and body weight
enter as centred-linear covariates on clearance, and body weight enters
as a centred-linear covariate on the central volume of distribution.
|
|
Cefuroxime
axetil (Bulitta 2009)
|
Semiphysiological population PK model for oral cefuroxime axetil
(acetoxyethyl-ester prodrug of cefuroxime) in healthy adult male
volunteers after a standardized high-fat breakfast. Three drug
compartments (stomach -> intestine -> central): a saturable,
time-dependent Michaelis-Menten release from the stomach to the
intestine followed by first-order absorption from the intestine to the
central compartment, with one-compartment linear disposition. The
maximum gastric-release rate Vmax is modulated over time-past- meal by a
sigmoidal (Hill) function whose maximum fractional change Emax is
logit-transformed to range over [-1, 9]. Vmax and Km are estimated as
fractions of dose (Bulitta 2009 Results, ‘estimated and are reported as
fractions of the cefuroxime dose’), so the absolute Vmax (mg/h) and Km
(mg) scale linearly with the stomach-compartment dose amount. Parameter
values reproduced here are from the S-ADAPT importance-sampling Monte
Carlo EM fit (Bulitta 2009 Table 2, ‘S-ADAPT Population mean’ column),
which the authors recommend as the best parametric fit; NONMEM and NPAG
estimates are reported alongside in the paper for comparison.

Cemiplimab
(Yang 2021)

Two-compartment population PK model for cemiplimab (anti-PD-1 IgG4) with
time-varying clearance (sigmoid Emax) in adults with advanced solid
tumors including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (Yang 2021)
|
|
Cephalexin
rat (Padoin 1998)
|
Preclinical (rat, male Wistar). Two-compartment population PK model for
cephalexin after intra-arterial (IA) or oral (gastric-tube)
administration in rats, with first-order absorption and a competitive
drug-drug interaction from coadministered oral quinapril that lowers
cephalexin Ka (paper Table 4: 0.249 to 0.177 1/h; ~29% lower) and CL
(paper Table 4: 0.810 to 0.640 L/h/kg; ~21% lower) when both drugs are
given by the oral route. The paper parameterizes the disposition as {CL,
Vc, CL_D, Vss = Vc + Vp}; this implementation uses the canonical {CL,
Vc, Q, Vp} parameterization with the typical-value Vp derived as Vss -
Vc = 1.23 - 0.416 = 0.814 L/kg. Intra-arterial quinapril or
intra-arterial cephalexin produced no detectable interaction on
cephalexin elimination, attributed by the authors to the much higher
cephalexin renal concentrations outcompeting quinapril at the renal
anionic transport carrier (and to Ka being irrelevant for IA dosing).

Certolizumab
(Wade 2015)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order SC absorption and
an additive baseline concentration for certolizumab pegol in adults with
Crohn’s disease (Wade 2015)
|
|
Chloroquine
(Simpson 2013)
|
In vitro (P. falciparum). Sigmoid Emax inhibition model of chloroquine
effect on hypoxanthine uptake by clinical Plasmodium falciparum isolates
from the Thai-Myanmar border (Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, 1993-2005),
with pfmdr1 genotype covariate effects on EC50. The ‘subject’ in the
NLME framework is a parasite isolate (n=421 isolates with chloroquine
data). STIM_CHLOROQUINE_NM is the per-well drug concentration in the in
vitro hypoxanthine-uptake-inhibition assay; the model has no PK and no
time evolution. E0 and Emax are fixed per Simpson 2013 Table 3 footnote.

|
Ciprofloxacin
(Schaefer 1996)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous and oral
ciprofloxacin in 10 pediatric cystic fibrosis patients aged 6-16 years
(Schaefer 1996). First-order absorption from a depot, two disposition
compartments, plus a cumulative urine compartment driven by an
independently estimated renal clearance. Total clearance is a
linear-with-intercept function of body weight (CL = 8.8 + 0.396 * WT,
L/h), and central / peripheral volumes are directly proportional to body
weight with slopes 0.698 and 1.3 L/kg respectively. Intercompartmental
clearance, absorption rate, renal clearance, and oral bioavailability
are weight-independent. IIV is retained on CL, Vc, and Vp only; residual
error is proportional. Calibrated to the study weight range (15-42 kg);
extrapolation beyond is not appropriate per the source authors.
|
|
Ciprofloxacin
(Thuo 2011)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and
absorption lag for oral ciprofloxacin in Kenyan children with severe
malnutrition (Thuo 2011). Apparent CL and apparent Vc are allometrically
scaled to body weight (exponents 0.75 and 1) and modified by linear
deviations from a serum sodium reference of 136 mmol/L; apparent CL is
further reduced by 28.3% in the paper-defined high-mortality-risk
stratum.

|
Cisplatin
(Boer 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for long-term circulating platinum
(Pt) decay after cisplatin-based chemotherapy in adult testicular cancer
survivors followed 1-13 years post-treatment (Boer 2015). Dose is the
cumulative cisplatin dose expressed as elemental Pt in mg (multiply
cumulative cisplatin in mg by 0.6502, the Pt/cisplatin mass ratio
195.08/300.05). An apparent bioavailability F1 (fdepot) accounts for the
fraction of the administered Pt remaining in the body after the rapid
pre-measurement urinary-excretion phase. Pt is assumed to be cleared
solely via urine.

|
Cladribine
(Savic 2017)
|
Population PK model for cladribine (CdA) in patients with
relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (Savic 2017): three-compartment
disposition with first-order oral absorption, separate fasted vs fed (or
unknown food-state) absorption parameters, renal clearance proportional
to Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance, and a multiplicative
non-renal-clearance effect of concomitant subcutaneous interferon
beta-1a coadministration.
|
|
Clarithromycin
(Abduljalil 2009)
|
Semimechanistic population pharmacokinetic model for oral clarithromycin
and its 14-(R)-hydroxy metabolite during repeated b.i.d. administration
(Abduljalil 2009): a single-phase Weibull absorption (kw, lambda) into a
one-compartment parent disposition with linear distribution and a parent
clearance that is partly inhibited by the parent’s own concentration in
a hypothetical effect-style inhibition compartment (Imax form with FCLp
= fraction of CLp not subject to inhibition and IC50 =
inhibition-compartment concentration giving 50% of maximum inhibition);
all parent metabolic clearance feeds a parallel one-compartment
metabolite disposition (14-OH-clarithromycin). Body weight enters
allometrically with fixed exponents 0.75 on CL and 1.0 on V (parent and
metabolite), reference 70 kg.

Clesrovimab
(Hu 2026)

Two-compartment population PK model for clesrovimab in preterm and
full-term infants (Hu 2026)
|
|
Clindamycin
(Muller 2010)
|
Three-compartment intravenous popPK model for clindamycin in pregnant
women during the peripartum period (Muller 2010). Fit to 175 maternal
venous serum concentrations from 7 women receiving either 600 mg over 20
min every 6 h (endocarditis prophylaxis) or 900 mg over 30 min every 8 h
(group B streptococcal disease prophylaxis). No covariates were retained
in the final model; demographic and laboratory screens (maternal age,
gestational age, BMI, weight, edema, temperature, creatinine, ALP, AST,
ALT, mode of delivery) are documented in covariatesDataExcluded.
Proportional residual error with a per-subject log-normal scaling eta on
the residual error magnitude (NONMEM omega-sigma interaction with an
extra ETA on epsilon).

|
Clindamycin
(Smith 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for intravenous clindamycin in obese
and nonobese children, with allometric total body weight on CL and V,
sigmoidal Hill maturation on CL by postmenstrual age, and power effects
of serum albumin and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein on V (Smith 2017).

|
Clomethiazole
(Zingmark 2003)
|
Two-compartment intravenous population PK model for clomethiazole
(Zingmark 2003) in 774 adult acute-stroke patients dosed with a
three-phase IV infusion of clomethiazole edisilate over 24 h (6 mg/kg
over 0.25 h then 31 mg/kg over 0.25-8 h then 31 mg/kg over 8-24 h, total
68 mg/kg edisilate). The structural model is parameterized in CL/V1/Q/V2
with body weight as a linear covariate on V1 and V2 and a
piecewise-linear covariate on CL (linear up to WT50 = 100 kg, constant
above) plus a multiplicative effect of concomitant liver-enzyme-
inducing drugs (carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampicin) on CL. IIV uses
parameter-specific etas combined with a shared eta common to all four PK
parameters (paper text: attributed to clomethiazole adsorption to the
infusion tubing) – the joint structure induces a single pairwise
correlation among the structural parameters. The paper also reports a
proportional-odds sedation-score PD model with a sensitive/non-sensitive
mixture component; that PD layer is not encoded here – it requires a
NONMEM MIXNUM-style mixture construct that is not naturally expressed in
nlmixr2 / rxode2 model files, and the NIH stroke-scale covariate is not
yet in the canonical covariate register. See the validation vignette’s
Assumptions and deviations section.

Clopidogrel
(Danielak 2017)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for oral clopidogrel and its
active thiol H4 metabolite (the antiplatelet-active diastereomer) in
adult Caucasian patients undergoing elective coronarography or
percutaneous coronary intervention on chronic clopidogrel 75 mg/day
(Danielak 2017). Clopidogrel is described by a one-compartment model
with first-order absorption (rate constant ka = source k12) and
first-order elimination (CL/F = source CL/F, V/F = source V2/F). The H4
metabolite is described by a one-compartment model with irreversible
first-order formation from clopidogrel central at the rate FM * CL/F *
(clopidogrel central / Vc) and first-order elimination (CL_h4/F = source
Q2/F, V_h4/F = source V3/F). FM was constrained to <= 20% in the
source fit because clopidogrel undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism
to the inactive carboxylic acid (the competing CES1 pathway accounts for
~85% of the absorbed dose); the final estimate is FM = 4.5%. H4 plasma
concentrations were assayed after bromo-3’-methoxyacetophenone
derivatisation of the labile thiol and were adjusted to the mass
equivalent of clopidogrel, so the parent <-> H4 flux carries 1:1
molar / mass-equivalent stoichiometry. Inter-individual variability is
reported on ka, V/F, CL/F, and FM with a covariance between ka and V/F.
The only retained covariate is CYP2C19*2 carriage on FM
(linear-deviation effect, e_cyp2c19_s2_fm = -0.45); carriers convert 45%
less of the absorbed dose to the active H4 metabolite. Bioavailability F
was assumed to be unity (typical value 1, not estimated because no IV
clopidogrel data exist). Residual error is proportional on the
linear-concentration scale for both observed analytes; M3-method
handling was used for samples below the quantitation limit (0.25 ng/mL
for both clopidogrel and H4).

Clozapine
(Li 2012)
|
One-compartment parent-plus-metabolite population PK model for oral
clozapine and its primary active metabolite norclozapine
(N-desmethylclozapine) in 162 Chinese adult inpatients (74 male, 88
female; 35.5 +/- 10.6 years) with refractory schizophrenia on
maintenance oral clozapine therapy (Li 2012). First-order absorption (Ka
fixed at 1.3 1/h from prior rich-data clozapine PK studies) into a
single central compartment with first-order elimination; a fixed
fraction (KF = 0.66) of the absorbed clozapine dose is converted in the
parent central compartment to norclozapine and feeds a separate
one-compartment metabolite compartment with its own apparent clearance
and apparent volume. Two binary covariates were retained in the final
forward-and-backward-selected model: current-smoker status increases
apparent clearance of both species (clozapine by 45%, norclozapine by
54.3%), and male sex increases apparent clearance of both species
(clozapine by 20.8%, norclozapine by 24.2%); the typical values reported
in Table 2 are for the female-nonsmoker reference stratum. A combined
additive-plus-proportional residual error model is reported separately
for clozapine and norclozapine. The model was internally validated using
normalized prediction distribution errors (NPDE).

Colistin
(Jacobs 2016)
|
Two-state parent-metabolite population PK model for colistimethate
sodium (CMS, prodrug) and colistin (active polymyxin) in critically ill
ICU patients with acute renal failure requiring intermittent
hemodialysis (n=8). One compartment each for CMS and colistin. CMS renal
clearance is structurally fixed at 0 (anuric HD population); the
estimated CMS clearance is therefore nonrenal (CL_NRCMS). Colistin
disposition is parameterised in apparent units (V_col/f_m and
CL_col/f_m) because the fraction f_m of nonrenally cleared CMS that
becomes colistin is not separately identifiable from plasma data.
Hemodialysis clearances of CMS (90 mL/min) and colistin (137 mL/min) are
fixed experimental constants from Marchand 2010 (ref 7 of Jacobs 2016)
and are gated on/off by the time-varying DIAL covariate; PK sampling in
the source study was conducted between HD sessions, so DIAL = 0 over the
model-fit data.

Colistin
(Karaiskos 2015)
|
Population PK model for colistimethate sodium (CMS, prodrug) and
colistin (active polymyxin formed by in vivo hydrolysis) in critically
ill adults after a 9 MU CMS loading dose. CMS distributes through four
compartments representing two states of the prodrug (CMS1 = more fully
sulfomethylated, CMS2 = partially sulfomethylated derivatives); each
state has central and peripheral compartments sharing volumes Vc and Vp
but distinct inter-compartmental clearances Q1 and Q2. The same nonrenal
clearance CL_NR drives the first-order hydrolysis CMS1 -> CMS2 (in
both central and peripheral, with the same rate constant) and CMS2 ->
colistin (central only); CMS1 and CMS2 central compartments are
additionally cleared by renal clearance proportional to creatinine
clearance. Colistin disposition follows a one-compartment model with
apparent clearance and volume (CL/fm, V/fm) scaled to the unknown
fraction of administered CMS converted to colistin. Measured
colistimethate concentration is the sum of CMS1 and CMS2 central
concentrations.

Colistin
(Mohamed 2012)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for colistin methanesulfonate (CMS,
prodrug) plus a one-compartment apparent model for colistin (formed
metabolite) in critically ill patients, with concentration-dependent
unbound fraction of colistin A and a semimechanistic Pseudomonas
aeruginosa bacterial-kill PKPD (susceptible / resting compartments from
Bulitta 2010)
|
|
Colistin
(Plachouras 2009)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for colistin methanesulfonate (CMS,
prodrug) and one-compartment model for the formed colistin (active
metabolite) in critically ill adults receiving 3 MU q8h IV CMS for
multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections (Plachouras 2009). Colistin
metabolite parameters are apparent values scaled by the unknown fraction
(fm) of CMS that forms colistin (CL_col is CL/fm; Vc_col is V/fm).

Concizumab
(Yuan 2019)
|
QSP. Systems PK/PD model for concizumab (humanized anti-TFPI IgG4)
describing binding to both membrane-bound TFPI (mTFPI; non-linear
clearance via receptor-mediated endocytosis) and soluble TFPI (sTFPI;
linear clearance via FcRn-recycled pinocytosis) in a minimal
physiologically-based PK framework with two nested endothelial endosome
compartments. Parameter values for 70 kg adult humans (Yuan 2019 Tables
1-2); the paper also tabulates monkey and rabbit parameter sets.

Crisantaspase
(Sassen 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous Erwinia asparaginase
(crisantaspase; Erwinase) in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
patients, with allometric scaling on clearance and volumes and a higher
first-month clearance (Sassen 2017).

Cyclophosphamide
mouse (Campagne 2019)
|
Preclinical (mouse). Plasma and brain/tumor extracellular-fluid (ECF)
population PK model for cyclophosphamide (CTX) and its sequential
metabolites 4-hydroxy-cyclophosphamide (4OH-CTX) and
carboxyethylphosphoramide mustard (CEPM) in female CD-1 nude mice
(non-tumor-bearing and orthotopic Group 3 medulloblastoma G3MB),
following a single 130 mg/kg intraperitoneal dose of cyclophosphamide
(Campagne 2019). Three sequential two-compartment plasma sub-models are
linked by full (Fm = 1) conversion CTX -> 4OH-CTX -> CEPM (so
reported CL and V for the two metabolites are apparent CL/F and V/F);
each compound additionally has a one-compartment brain/tumor ECF
sub-model linked to its plasma central via influx (CLin) and efflux
(CLef) clearances driven by the unbound plasma concentration FU x Cp.
ECF volume fixed at 0.001 L/kg (Stewart 2010, ref 26 of source). No
covariate effects retained; pooled fit across non-tumor-bearing and G3MB
mice.

Cyclosporin
(Debord 2001)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral cyclosporin microemulsion
(Neoral) in stable renal transplant recipients (Debord 2001), with a
gamma-distribution absorption (Savic 2007 analytical transit-compartment
form) feeding the central compartment directly, F fixed to 1, and
population typical values derived from the means of the 21
individually-fitted patients in Table I of the paper.
|
|
Cyclosporine
(Philippe 2015)
|
Pediatric PK-PD-time-to-event model for oral cyclosporine in children
with severe aplastic anemia (Philippe 2015). PK is a two-compartment
model with first-order absorption, lag time, and linear elimination;
absorption parameters (F, Tlag, ka) are fixed from the literature, and
V1, V2, Cl, Q are allometrically scaled to body weight (reference 34 kg;
fixed exponents 0.75 on clearance and 1 on volume). The pharmacodynamic
interface model (Eq. 5) describes an effective concentration Ce driven
by the predicted trough concentration Ctrough, with production active
only when Ctrough lies inside an effective range (lower bound gamma1 =
87 ng/mL, upper bound gamma2 = 120 ng/mL) and first-order elimination at
rate alpha. The instantaneous hazard of neutrophil response (Eq. 6) is
lambda(t) = lambda0 * (1 + slope * Ce); cumhaz and sur are exposed as
derived outputs. In this implementation the predicted Cc (multiplied by
1000 to convert mg/L to ng/mL) is used as the Ctrough input to the
interface model; see vignette Assumptions and deviations for the full
justification.

Cysteamine
(Belldina 2003)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption and
an absorption lag, sequentially linked to a one-compartment effect-site
PD model with fractional inhibitory Emax (Hill = 1) for white-blood-cell
cystine content reduction by cysteamine in 11 paediatric and young-adult
patients (age 3-15 y, weight 14.3-60.2 kg) with nephropathic cystinosis
at steady state on cysteamine bitartrate (Cystagon) approximately every
6 hours. PK and PD parameters in the source paper were estimated as
individual NONMEM fits per subject and summarised as arithmetic mean /
geometric mean / median / min / max across the 11 patients (Tables 2 and
3); this package encodes the arithmetic means as the typical values,
with linear allometric weight scaling fixed at exponent 1.0 to reflect
the paper’s per-kg parameterisation of all clearance and volume terms.
Dose is in mg cysteamine bitartrate salt (MW 227.24 g/mol); the model
converts internally to plasma cysteamine in micromolar (free-base
moiety, MW 77.15 g/mol, the measured analyte). PD output cystine is
white-blood-cell cystine content in nmol cystine per mg protein.

Dabigatran
(Liesenfeld 2013)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral dabigatran (after
dabigatran etexilate prodrug) in seven end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
subjects undergoing intermittent hemodialysis, with first-order
absorption, absorption lag, an apparent total body clearance (renal +
non-renal), and an apparent dialysis clearance described by the Michaels
equation as a function of blood and dialysate flow rates and a
hemodialyzer mass transfer-area coefficient (Liesenfeld 2013).
|
|
Dabigatran
aPTT (Liesenfeld 2006)
|
Pharmacodynamic model for the prolongation of activated partial
thromboplastin time (aPTT) by dabigatran in orthopaedic surgery patients
receiving oral dabigatran etexilate after total hip replacement
(Liesenfeld 2006 BISTRO I PK-PD analysis). The concentration-aPTT
relationship combines a linear and an Emax model; the baseline aPTT and
the maximum nonlinear effect Emax both decline with time since surgery
via a proportional inhibitory Emax form sharing a single ET50. Covariate
analysis retained no demographic, comedication, or laboratory variables.
The 2006 paper does not develop a PK model; the PK component embedded
here is the Liesenfeld 2013 two-compartment dabigatran disposition with
all PK thetas fixed so the model is self-contained for simulation. The
2013 PK was fit in end-stage renal-disease subjects and will
overestimate dabigatran exposure for the 2006 BISTRO I
orthopaedic-surgery population; users targeting BISTRO I-style scenarios
should override the PK thetas or supply observed concentrations to the
PD layer.
|
|
Dabigatran
ECT (Liesenfeld 2006)
|
Pharmacodynamic model for the prolongation of ecarin clotting time (ECT)
by dabigatran in orthopaedic surgery patients receiving oral dabigatran
etexilate after total hip replacement (Liesenfeld 2006 BISTRO I PK-PD
analysis). The concentration-ECT relationship is a single linear
function whose slope decays exponentially from an initial value SLO0 to
a final value SLO_F with rate constant KM; the baseline ECT also
declines with time-since-surgery via a proportional inhibitory Emax
form. Covariate analysis retained no demographic, comedication, or
laboratory variables. The 2006 paper does not develop a PK model; the PK
component embedded here is the Liesenfeld 2013 two-compartment
dabigatran disposition with all PK thetas fixed so the model is
self-contained for simulation. The 2013 PK was fit in end-stage
renal-disease subjects and will overestimate dabigatran exposure for the
2006 BISTRO I orthopaedic- surgery population; users targeting BISTRO
I-style scenarios should override the PK thetas or supply observed
concentrations to the PD layer.

Daclizumab
(Othman 2014)

Two-compartment population PK model with first-order subcutaneous
absorption and lag time for daclizumab high-yield process (HYP) in
healthy volunteers (Othman 2014)
|

Daclizumab
cd25 (Diao 2016)
|
Sigmoidal Emax PK/PD model of CD25 receptor occupancy on peripheral CD4+
T cells following subcutaneous daclizumab high-yield process (HYP) in
adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (Diao 2016). The PD
output is the percentage of CD4+ T cells staining positive for
unoccupied CD25 (i.e., the unbound CD25 fraction). The PK backbone is
the two-compartment, first-order SC absorption + lag model from Othman
2014 (file inst/modeldb/specificDrugs/Othman_2014_daclizumab.R), copied
verbatim with weight-based allometric scaling.

Daclizumab
cd56bright (Diao 2016)
|
Indirect-response PK/PD model of CD56 bright natural killer (NK) cell
expansion following subcutaneous daclizumab high-yield process (HYP) in
adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (Diao 2016).
Daclizumab HYP serum concentration stimulates the zero-order production
rate (Kin) of CD56 bright NK cells (% of all lymphocytes) via a
saturable Smax function; first-order elimination rate Kout is fixed by
the median baseline. The PK backbone is the two-compartment, first-order
SC absorption + lag model from Othman 2014 (file
inst/modeldb/specificDrugs/Othman_2014_daclizumab.R), copied verbatim
with weight-based allometric scaling.

Daclizumab
treg (Diao 2016)
|
Sigmoidal Emax PK/PD model of regulatory T cell (Treg) reduction
following subcutaneous daclizumab high-yield process (HYP) in adults
with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (Diao 2016). The PD output
is the percentage of Treg (CD4+ CD127low/- Foxp3+) among all CD4+ T
cells; daclizumab HYP serum concentration drives a maximum 60% reduction
via a sigmoidal Emax function. The PK backbone is the two-compartment,
first-order SC absorption + lag model from Othman 2014 (file
inst/modeldb/specificDrugs/Othman_2014_daclizumab.R), copied verbatim
with weight-based allometric scaling.

Dapagliflozin
(vanderWalt 2013)
|
Semi-mechanistic joint parent-metabolite population PK model for
dapagliflozin and its inactive UGT1A9 glucuronide metabolite
dapagliflozin 3-O-glucuronide (D3OG, identified as M15 in
chromatography) in healthy adults, T2DM subjects with normal or impaired
renal function, and patients with hepatic impairment (van der Walt
2013). Parent: 2-compartment disposition with first-order absorption fed
by a Savic 2007 transit-compartment chain (continuous N estimated
alongside MTT) and a logit bioavailability anchor; three parallel parent
elimination pathways are estimated separately as renal excretion of
unchanged dapagliflozin (CLP_renal, proportional to baseline creatinine
clearance), metabolic formation of D3OG (CLP_M15), and metabolic
clearance to unmeasured metabolites (CLP_other, allometrically scaled
like CLP_M15). Metabolite: 1-compartment with renal elimination CLM
proportional to creatinine clearance. Plasma observations only are
emulated here – the source paper also fitted urine dapagliflozin and
D3OG concentrations simultaneously with a replicate residual-error
structure; see the validation vignette for the urine and
replicate-residual deviations. Covariates: creatinine clearance (CRCL;
IBW-corrected, mL/min) on CLP_M15, CLP_renal, and CLM; AGE on CLP_other;
Child-Pugh Class C (HEPIMP_SEV) on CLP_M15 and V2M; Child-Pugh Class B
or C (HEPIMP_MODSEV) on V3P and CLM; female sex (SEXF) on total CLP and
on CLM; allometric WT scaling on CLP_M15, CLP_other, V2P, V3P, V2M.

Dapsone
(Gatti 1996)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption and
first-order elimination for dapsone 100 mg twice weekly oral
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia prophylaxis in 53 HIV-infected adults
(Gatti 1996). Apparent clearance CL/F and apparent central volume V/F
are scaled multiplicatively by concomitant rifampin co-administration
(shared 69.6% increase on both parameters, reflecting a first-pass /
bioavailability effect). Apparent absorption rate constant Ka is scaled
multiplicatively by total serum bilirubin (per-mg/dL fractional
decrease). IIV on CL/F (35% CV) and Ka (85% CV); V/F inter-individual
variability was found non-significant after covariate inclusion and
dropped from the final model. Residual-error magnitudes were not
reported in the publication; propSd and addSd are FIXED at 0 in this
packaged model so users must supply their own residual error to run any
stochastic VPC – see the validation vignette’s Errata section.

Dapsone
(Hall 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption for
dapsone in healthy US adults across a wide weight range; covariate
effects on Ka, CL, and Vc are encoded via the published MARS
piecewise-linear basis functions of weight, age, and blood urea nitrogen
(Hall 2017).

Daptomycin
(Garonzik 2016)
|
In vitro (Staphylococcus aureus USA300, methicillin-resistant CA-MRSA
reference strain). Mechanism-based mathematical pharmacodynamic (MBM)
model of daptomycin time-kill activity in supplemented Mueller-Hinton
broth with 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, or 70% v/v heat-inactivated human serum.
The bacterial population is split into three subpopulations of
decreasing daptomycin susceptibility (susceptible, intermediate,
resistant), each described by two states (state 1 vegetative, state 2
replicating; six bacterial compartments total). Replication of state 2
cells back into state 1 is gated by a successful-replication probability
(REP = 2 x Plateau, with Plateau saturating at a maximum CFU/mL CFUm),
and the vegetative-to-replicating transition k12 is modulated by an
exponential lag-phase term (Eq 3) and a saturable carrying-capacity term
(Eq 7) parameterised by Imax_k12 and IC50_k12. Daptomycin acts on each
subpopulation via two mechanisms: a Hill-type stimulation of the
probability of death (STI; reduces successful replication via IREP = 1 -
STI) and a Hill-type direct killing of bacteria (Kill); the relative
balance of the two is the dominant pharmacodynamic feature, with SC50
(0.05 mg/L) much lower than KC50 (4.8 mg/L). The intermediate and
resistant subpopulations share the same SC50 and KC50 but have reduced
Smax and Kmax (Smax_r and Kmax_r fixed to 0) and the resistant
subpopulation has a slower vegetative-to-replicating transition (FR_K12r
= 0.0442). Protein binding by human serum is encoded as an ‘active
fraction’ factive(HS) multiplying the total static daptomycin
concentration to give an effective drug concentration DAP_EF; the active
fraction takes five experimental levels (factive = 1 at 0% HS, then
0.346, 0.284, 0.239, 0.252 at 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% HS). The model is
in-vitro PD only – there is no human PK component; daptomycin is dosed
once at t = 0 into the dap compartment and is chemically stable in the
medium for the 24-h experiment. Random effects (eta) are NOT present:
the paper reports replicate-level experimental fits with additive plus
small-count Poisson residual error on log10 CFU/mL.

Daratumumab
(Xu 2020)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous daratumumab
(anti-CD38 IgG1k) in adults with multiple myeloma, with parallel linear
and Michaelis-Menten eliminations from the central compartment. The
maximum velocity of the saturable (target-mediated) elimination decays
mono-exponentially from its baseline value at first-order rate KDES,
mimicking depletion of the CD38 target over weekly 16 mg/kg therapy (Xu
2020 MMY1001 D-Kd / D-KRd cohorts).

Datopotamab
(Hong 2025)
|
Coupled population PK model for datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd,
anti-TROP2 antibody-drug conjugate) and its released payload DXd in
adults with advanced solid tumors (Hong 2025). Dato-DXd disposition is a
two-compartment model with parallel linear (CL_lin) and Michaelis-Menten
(Vmax / Km) elimination from the central compartment. DXd is a
one-compartment model whose formation rate equals the total Dato-DXd
elimination rate (linear + nonlinear) scaled by the molecular-weight
ratio (493.5 / 150000) and a time-and-cycle-dependent drug-to-antibody
ratio DAR(tad, CYCLE) = 4 * (0.25 + 0.75 * exp(-beta * tad)) * (1 if
CYCLE = 1 else Factor1). Body weight is included as a mechanistic
covariate with a fixed allometric exponent of 0.75 on Dato-DXd linear
clearance and estimated exponents on Dato-DXd volumes (paper Eq. 8-10)
and on DXd CL/Vc (Eq. 14-15).

|
Daunorubicin
(Varatharajan 2016)
|
Population PK model for IV daunorubicin (Dnr) and its primary
carbonyl-reductase metabolite daunorubicinol (DOL) in adult de novo
acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients (Varatharajan 2016). Each
component (parent and metabolite) is described by an independent
two-compartment disposition parameterised on apparent clearance, central
volume, and the inter-compartmental rate constants K12 and K21.
Daunorubicin is converted to daunorubicinol via parent elimination (the
model assumes the fraction metabolised fm = 1, so the published DOL CL
and V are ‘apparent’ values that absorb fm). No covariates were retained
in the final structural model; demographic / pharmacogenetic
associations in the paper are reported on post hoc empirical-Bayes
estimates rather than as fixed-effects covariate parameters.

|
Daunorubicin
liposomal (Hempel 2003)
|
One-compartment IV-infusion population PK model for total daunorubicin
(free plus liposome-encapsulated) following liposomal daunorubicin
(Daunoxome) in paediatric and adolescent oncology patients (Hempel
2003). Clearance and volume of distribution scale linearly with total
body weight (CL = theta_CL * WT; V = theta_V * WT, i.e. the source
paper’s per-kg parameterisation with allometric exponent fixed to 1 and
no reference-weight normalisation). The final model (Table 2 model 15)
retains inter-individual variability on CL (51% CV) and V (27% CV),
inter-occasion variability on CL (16.7% CV) – documented but NOT encoded
structurally here, per the Andrews 2017 / Brooks 2021 nlmixr2lib
precedent for IOV without an operational occasion column – and a
proportional residual error (22%). Distinct from
Varatharajan_2016_daunorubicin (free daunorubicin + daunorubicinol
metabolite in adult AML).

Decitabine
(Han 2015)
|
Two-compartment IV population pharmacokinetic model coupled with two
parallel Friberg-style myelosuppression PD chains (absolute neutrophil
count, ANC, and platelet count, PC) for decitabine post-transplant
maintenance in adult Korean patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic
syndrome or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (Han 2015). The platelet
feedback baseline rises asymptotically over cycles per the paper’s IMP /
IMK extension (BASE_P_t = BASE_P + IMP * (1 - exp(-IMK * t))); the
neutrophil chain uses a time-invariant baseline. PK parameters are
body-surface-area-normalized (per m^2): doses must be supplied in mg/m^2
and central-compartment concentrations are returned in mg/L (= ug/mL =
1000 ng/mL). PD outputs ANC and PLT are in 10^9 cells/L.

|
Deferoxamine
(Bellanti 2015)
|
Indirect-response disease model for serum ferritin in chronic
transfusional iron overload (beta-thalassaemia major) with proportional
deferoxamine effect on ferritin degradation rate. Two-compartment 8-h
SC-infusion deferoxamine PK (literature-derived) enters as a
time-varying steady-state concentration covariate; the ferritin
compartment captures the baseline turnover (Kin, Kout), the
disease-status-modulated transfusion-driven production (CRT), and the
chelator effect (1 + DFO) on Kout.
|
|
Desmopressin
(Agerso 2004)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for intravenous desmopressin with
simultaneous plasma and urinary-amount outputs. Systemic clearance is
split into renal and non-renal components, each modulated linearly by
creatinine clearance (CRCL), in healthy subjects and patients with
varying degrees of renal impairment (Agerso 2004).
|
|
Desmopressin
(Schutte 2018)
|
Two-compartment apparent population PK model describing the time profile
of endogenous factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) following a
desmopressin (DDAVP) administration in nonsevere haemophilia A patients
(Schutte 2018; final covariate model with FVIII-recent on baseline
FVIII, V1 and CL). Desmopressin is the administered intervention; the
apparent PK parameters describe the resulting endogenous FVIII:C release
as if it were a unit-dose drug input (the source paper fixed the dose to
unity because no FVIII concentrate was infused).

|
Dexamethasone
rat (Li 2012)
|
Preclinical (rat). Mechanism-based PK/PD model for CYP3A1/2 induction by
dexamethasone (DEX, single 100 mg/kg ip dose) in male Sprague-Dawley
rats. PK is a two-compartment mammillary model with zero-order ip
absorption of duration T0 directly into the central compartment (no
first-order rate constant; CL/F, Q/F, Vc/F, Vp/F all reported as
kg-normalised apparent values). PK BSV is exponential and is retained
only on Q/F (all other PK BSVs were not significant). The PD cascade
describes CYP3A1 and CYP3A2 induction at three molecular levels: (1)
mRNA dynamics use an indirect-response (Dayneka-style) model in which a
Hill-type fractional occupancy of CYP3A DNA-responsive elements by the
DEX-PXR complex (FO = Cp^gamma / (SC50^gamma + Cp^gamma)) drives a
stimulation signal Si,0 = Smax * FO that flows through a per-isoform
chain of transit compartments with mean transit time tau (one
compartment for CYP3A1, eight compartments for CYP3A2) before
stimulating mRNA synthesis as d/dt(mRNAi) = kin,i * (1 + Si,ni) - kout,i
* mRNAi. (2) Protein dynamics translate mRNA to CYP3A protein via
d/dt(CYP3Ai) = ksyn,i * mRNAi^mi - kdeg,i * CYP3Ai, where the
per-isoform amplification factor mi is a paper-mechanistic power
exponent on mRNA. (3) Enzyme activity (rate of 6beta-hydroxytestosterone
formation) is the algebraic linear combination EA = alpha * CYP3A1 +
beta * CYP3A2 with per-isoform turnover-number rates alpha and beta
(pmol 6beta-OHT / min / pmol CYP3A). The PK and PD layers were fit
sequentially in NONMEM 7.1.2 with FOCE+I, the PK model first then the PD
layers simultaneously with PK fixed. Three PD layers were fit by the
naive pool approach (each animal contributed one PD observation per time
point), so no PD IIVs are present. Numbers of transit compartments (n1 =
1, n2 = 8) are paper-mechanistic fixed structural integers.

Dexmedetomidine
(Perez-Guille 2018)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK with sigmoidal Imax PD on heart rate
(HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) fractional responses for
dexmedetomidine in Mexican Mestizo children (2-18 y) undergoing
ambulatory surgery, with a priori allometric scaling on CL and Q
(exponent 0.75) and V1 and V2 (exponent 1) at a 70 kg reference weight
(Perez-Guille et al. 2018, Tables 2 and 3, allometric model)

Dexmedetomidine
(Smuszkiewicz 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous dexmedetomidine
continuous infusion in adult ICU patients undergoing analgosedation
(Smuszkiewicz 2017). 27 medical and surgical ICU patients (17 male, 10
female; median age 59.5 y, median weight 75 kg) received continuous
infusions of 0.1-1.5 ug/kg/h for 23.7-102 h. Age, sex, body weight,
infusion duration, pretreatment SOFA score, and inotrope use were
screened as covariates but none reached statistical significance, so the
final model contains no covariate effects. IIVs on Vc, CL, Vp, and Q are
diagonal (no clear correlations). Proportional residual error.

Dexmedetomidine
(Talke 2018)

Three-compartment IV population PK plus effect-compartment sigmoid Emax
PD model for dexmedetomidine-induced peripheral vasoconstriction (ADC
units from finger photoplethysmography) in healthy adult volunteers,
with a priori allometric body-weight scaling on CL, Q2, Q3 (exponent
0.75) and V1, V2, V3 (exponent 1) at a 70 kg reference weight (Talke and
Anderson 2018, Tables 3 and 4)

Diazepam
(Ku 2018)

Two-compartment population PK model for intravenous diazepam in children
aged 3 months to 18 years treated for status epilepticus. Clearance,
central volume, inter-compartmental clearance, and peripheral volume
scale allometrically with total body weight referenced to a 70 kg adult
(fixed exponents 0.75 on CL and Q; 1 on V1 and V2). IIV is estimated on
CL and V1 only; IIV on Q and V2 was held fixed at 0 in the final model
to avoid >50% shrinkage. Proportional residual error.

Dihydroartemisinin
(Tarning 2012)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral dihydroartemisinin (parent
drug, dosed as a fixed-dose tablet co-formulated with piperaquine) in 24
pregnant (second / third trimester) and 24 matched non-pregnant women
with uncomplicated malaria on the Thai-Myanmar border (Tarning 2012
AAC). Transit-compartment absorption with 7 fixed transit compartments
(ktr = (n+1)/MTT with n=7); drug-transit rate is set equal to the
absorption rate from the last transit to central (single estimated ktr).
Allometric scaling of CL/F (exponent 3/4) and V/F (exponent 1) on body
weight centered at the cohort median 48.5 kg. F fixed at 1 with
log-normal IIV (CV 30.3%); proportional pregnancy effect on F (-37.5%)
and linear effect of log10 admission parasitaemia on F (+27.8% per log10
unit centered at 3.98). IIV on V/F (12.8% CV); between-occasion
variability (BOV across 3 dose occasions) on MTT (50.9% CV) multiplexed
by the OCC indicator. Additive residual on natural-log concentrations
(sigma = 0.580), encoded as proportional residual on the
linear-concentration scale per Kloprogge 2018 lumefantrine precedent.

Dilmapimod
(Yang 2016)
|
Three-compartment IV population PK model for dilmapimod (SB-681323, a
p38 MAPK inhibitor) coupled with an empirical indirect-response model
for the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) in severe-trauma
adults at risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (Yang 2016). BMI
is a power covariate on CL and Q2. No statistically significant
dilmapimod effect on CRP was retained in the final PD model, so the CRP
component is an empirical post-injury production-decline /
first-order-loss profile that is decoupled from dilmapimod exposure
(Yang 2016 Results section 3.3.1).

|
Docetaxel
(Ozawa 2007)
|
Three-compartment IV PK coupled with a modified Friberg-style
semimechanistic-physiological PK/PD model for docetaxel-induced
neutropenia in Japanese cancer patients (Ozawa 2007). The PD layer
extends Friberg 2002 with an additional zero-order input compartment
that captures the transient ANC increase attributable to dexamethasone
premedication; alpha-1 acid glycoprotein modulates the linear
drug-effect slope on the proliferating compartment via a power-law form.
Per-subject baseline ANC is supplied as a covariate and is used to
initialise the proliferation, transit, and circulating compartments.

(Diep 2026). First-order SC absorption with categorical covariates on ka
(arm vs abdomen/thigh injection site; autoinjector vs vial drug
presentation), allometric scaling of CL/F, Vc/F, Q/F, and Vp/F on total
body weight with paper-estimated exponents, multiplicative
disease-status effects on Vc/F and Q/F, full 5x5 omega block on PK
random effects, and an indirect-response model with donidalorsen-driven
inhibition of PKK production carrying multiplicative disease-status
effects on baseline PKK and IC50.

|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for doripenem in 12 Malaysian
critically ill adults with sepsis receiving 500 mg as a 1-hour infusion
every 8 hours (Abdul-Aziz 2016). Reported on free (unbound) doripenem;
observed total concentrations were corrected by multiplying by 0.90 to
account for ~10% protein binding. Body-weight allometric scaling is
fixed (0.75 on CL/Q, 1 on V1/V2, reference 70 kg); Cockcroft-Gault
creatinine clearance has an exponential effect on CL centred at the
cohort mean 82.5 mL/min.

Korean adults with acute infections (pyelonephritis, intra-abdominal
infection, neutropenic fever) and CLCR ranging 20-50 or >50 mL/min
(Lee 2017). Clearance and central volume scale linearly with body weight
(CL/WT = 0.109 L/h/kg, V/WT = 0.280 L/kg at WT=70 kg, CLCR=57 mL/min);
CL additionally scales by a power exponent on Cockcroft-Gault creatinine
clearance (raw mL/min, reference 57).

Doxorubicin
(Kunarajah 2017)
|
Population PK/PD model for IV doxorubicin (3-compartment) with
first-order metabolism to doxorubicinol (1-compartment) and a cardiac
troponin I (cTnI) turnover sub-model in paediatric oncology patients
(Kunarajah 2017). Body surface area enters as a linear factor on every
clearance and volume parameter; age enters as an additional power factor
on doxorubicin clearance. The cTnI turnover sub-model is driven by a
saturable Emax stimulation of cTnI synthesis by the combined doxorubicin
+ doxorubicinol plasma concentration, with the cTnI baseline shifted
linearly by the prior cumulative anthracyclines dose received by the
patient before the first dose analysed.

E7820
human (Keizer 2011)
|
Population PK/PD model for the alpha2-integrin inhibitor E7820 in
patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma (Keizer 2011 clinical
column). One-compartment oral PK with first-order absorption (PK
structure and parameter values inherited from an earlier phase I popPK
analysis of the same study and reproduced in Keizer 2011 Table II; the
absorption model was simplified from the original turnover-absorption
form to a first-order form to ease multi-dose simulations). PD is an
indirect-response (turnover) model for alpha2-integrin expression on
platelets, with an Emax inhibition function (Emax fixed at 1, Hill
exponent gamma fixed at 1) acting on the input rate kin. BSV is reported
on baseline integrin expression and on drug sensitivity (IC50). No
tumor-growth submodel is included in the clinical analysis (Keizer 2011
Figure 3 caption: ‘The clinical model had the same structure, but did
not incorporate a sub-model for tumor size’). Parameter values from
Keizer 2011 Tables II (clinical PK) and III (clinical integrin PD).

one-compartment oral PK with first-order absorption, per-kg
parameterisation. Stage 2: indirect-response (turnover) model for
alpha2-integrin expression on platelets, with an Emax inhibition
function (Emax fixed at 1, Hill exponent gamma fixed at 1) acting on the
input rate kin. Stage 3: exponential tumor growth on diameter with an
initial-slow-growth term (1 - exp(-beta*t)) gating the growth rate, and
a sigmoidal Emax inhibition driven by relative alpha2-integrin
inhibition ((I_base - integrin)/I_base) with Hill coefficient fixed at
5. Parameters from Keizer 2011 Tables II (preclinical PK), III
(preclinical integrin PD), and IV (tumor growth).

and HIV/TB co-infected adults in Zimbabwe (Dhoro 2015), with apparent
clearance CL/F stratified by CYP2B6 983T>C (CYP2B618, rs28399499)
genotype and multiplicative fractional covariate effects of CYP2B6
516G>T (CYP2B66, rs3745274) genotype, body weight, and sex on

|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and
elimination for once-daily oral efavirenz (EFV) in treatment-naive
HIV-1-infected West African children (Hirt 2009). CL/F and V/F scale
linearly with body weight (shared allometric exponent fixed at 1) and
CL/F additionally varies with postnatal age via a power covariate
centred at the cohort median 6.35 years (signed exponent -0.535, so
apparent clearance decreases with age); the inter-individual variability
of V/F is forced to perfect correlation with the eta of CL/F and is
constructed as vc_eta_scale * etalcl (the K parameter in Hirt 2009 Table
2); multiplicative residual error.

Emfilermin
(Goggin 2004)
|
One-compartment population PK model for subcutaneous emfilermin
(recombinant human leukaemia inhibitory factor, r-hLIF) in healthy
postmenopausal women and in infertile women undergoing in vitro
fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) (Goggin 2004). Absorption is
zero-order (D1 = 0.84 h, invariant, no IIV) directly into the central
compartment, followed by first-order elimination. Apparent clearance
CL/F is decreased by 35% in IVF-ET patients (typical 37 L/h) relative to
healthy postmenopausal women (typical 57 L/h). Apparent volume V/F is
linear in body weight on the natural scale: V/F = 235 L at the median 62
kg, increasing or decreasing by 6.7 L/kg (~29% per 10 kg) – an
absolute-linear covariate form, not log-multiplicative. Inter-individual
variability is log-normal on CL/F (17% CV) and V/F (28% CV);
inter-occasion variability is log-normal on V/F (23% CV) across three
protocol-defined occasions (first dosing day = 1, intermediate dosing
days = 2, last dosing day = 3). Residual error is proportional (20% CV).
Studied weight range was 48-83 kg; the linear V/F-WT term is
extrapolation-unsafe below ~27 kg where the typical V/F would become
negative.

Emicizumab
(Yoneyama 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order subcutaneous
absorption and elimination for emicizumab (ACE910), a bispecific
anti-FIXa/FX humanized monoclonal antibody mimicking the cofactor
function of activated factor VIII, in healthy male adult volunteers
(Japanese and Caucasian) and Japanese male adult/adolescent patients
with severe hemophilia A with or without factor VIII inhibitors
(Yoneyama 2017). Body-weight allometric exponents are fixed (0.75 on
CL/F, 1 on Vd/F) per Yoneyama 2017 Methods. Anti-emicizumab neutralizing
antibody (ADA_POS) increases CL/F by a factor of exp(2.01) and the
effect onsets 33.4 days post the first SC dose (NONMEM MTIME
parameterisation). The companion repeated time-to-event (RTTE)
bleeding-hazard model from Yoneyama 2017 Section 2.4 is not included
here; nlmixr2lib does not currently support TTE models.

(Green 2003)
|
Two-compartment first-order-input population PK model for subcutaneous
enoxaparin in adults treated at the Royal Brisbane Hospital for acute
coronary syndrome, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or DVT
prophylaxis (Green & Duffull 2003). Anti-Xa activity is the
observation; lean body weight (LBW; James 1976 formula) is the size
descriptor on clearance and total body weight is the size descriptor on
the central volume.
|
|
Enoxaparin
(Green 2005)
|
Two-compartment, first-order absorption population PK model for
subcutaneously administered enoxaparin (anti-Xa activity) in 38 adults
with acute coronary syndromes and a wide range of renal function (Green
2005). Total clearance is the sum of a renal arm scaled linearly to
estimated creatinine clearance (CRCL, Cockcroft-Gault with ideal body
weight; reference 80 mL/min) and a covariate-free non-renal arm: CL =
0.681 * (CRCL / 80) + 0.229 L/h. Central volume of distribution scales
linearly with total body weight (reference 80 kg): Vc = 5.22 * (WT / 80)
L. A constant basal anti-Xa activity (49.9 IU/L) is added to the model
prediction to represent endogenous and assay-baseline anti-Xa activity,
per the Schoemaker parameterisation referenced in the paper.
Inter-individual variability is log-normal on total CL, Vc, Q, and basal
anti-Xa activity (paper Table 2 Covariate Model). Residual error is
combined additive (52.4 IU/L) plus proportional (20.0 percent CV) on
observed anti-Xa concentrations.

Enoxaparin
(Oualha 2018)
|
Population PK model for subcutaneous enoxaparin in 22 children during
the first post-operative week after paediatric liver transplantation
(Oualha 2018). One-compartment open model with first-order absorption
(ka fixed at 1/h) and first-order elimination, measured as anti-Xa
activity (target 0.2-0.4 IU/mL). Apparent clearance CL/F is
allometrically scaled by pre-operative bodyweight BWPREOP (fixed
exponent 0.75); apparent central volume V/F is allometrically scaled
(fixed exponent 1) by a time-varying post-operative bodyweight BW(t)
that captures peri-operative fluid resuscitation followed by
post-operative diuresis: BW(t) = (BWPREOP + PFA/1000) * (1 - (1 - fbw) *
t^hill_bw / (tbw50^hill_bw + t^hill_bw)). Bodyweight-evolution
parameters fbw / hill_bw / tbw50 are jointly estimated with the
enoxaparin PK and carry their own between-subject variability.

|
Enoxaparin
(SanchezPena 2005)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model of anti-factor Xa
activity after intravenous enoxaparin in 546 adults undergoing elective
percutaneous coronary intervention (Sanchez-Pena 2005). The IV bolus is
modelled as a brief zero-order input phase of duration T0 with linear
elimination. Body weight is the only retained covariate, applied as
estimated allometric exponents on clearance (0.9) and volume (0.7) with
reference 75 kg. A fixed basal anti-Xa activity (0.0725 IU/mL) is added
to the dose-driven concentration to account for the endogenous pre-dose
background measured by the chromogenic anti-Xa assay. Doses must be
entered in IU (1 mg enoxaparin = 100 IU anti-Xa); the typical 0.5 mg/kg
clinical dose corresponds to 3830 IU for a 76 kg patient.

Ephedrine
caffeine (Csajka 2005)
|
Mechanistic simultaneous population PK model for co-administered
ephedrine, its N-demethylation metabolite norephedrine, and caffeine in
healthy adults after single oral doses (Csajka 2005). Caffeine is
described by a 1-compartment first-order-absorption model with a
fractional decrease in apparent clearance during oral contraceptive
therapy. Ephedrine uses a 1-compartment depot + central +
cumulative-urine model with an absorption lag time, renal clearance, and
saturable Michaelis-Menten conversion to norephedrine; norephedrine is
carried as a pseudo-concentration state because its volume of
distribution V_NE is unidentifiable, so the reported parameter is the
compound Vmax/V_NE and the norephedrine elimination is first order. The
interaction term reproduces the paper’s indirect-action absorption model
(equation 10b/10e final form): the caffeine amount in the absorption
compartment depresses ephedrine ka by an asymptotic fraction d, with
caffeine acting as the f(C) inhibitor on its own absorption-compartment
amount. Parameter values are the pharmaceutical-formulation defaults
from Table 3; herbal-formulation alternatives (bioavailability
F_E,herbal = 0.78 instead of F_E,pharm = 0.59, plus a 22.2-min caffeine
absorption lag) are documented in inline comments and can be applied by
overriding lfdepot and ltlag_caf at simulation time.

covariates on clearance (Abboud 2009).
|
|
Epinephrine
(Oualha 2014)
|
Population PK/PD model for continuous IV epinephrine in critically ill
children following cardiopulmonary bypass for repair of congenital heart
defects (Oualha 2014). One-compartment open PK with first-order
elimination plus an endogenous zero-order production rate q0 and
circulating-volume-anchored Vc = 0.08WT; allometric scaling of CL
and q0 on body weight (exponents fixed to 3/4). Hemodynamic Emax
sub-models for heart rate (HR) and the stroke-volume
systemic-vascular-resistance product (SVSVR) with age power effects
on basal HR and SVSVR and a RACHS-1 categorical effect on
SV*SVR_max. Glucose/lactate turnover sub-model: epinephrine stimulates
the zero-order plasma glucose production rate via an Emax function;
plasma lactate is produced at the rate of glucose elimination and itself
follows first-order elimination. kGLY and kLAC are derived at steady
state (Eq. 12-13).

lean body mass, on Vc/Q/Vp by total body weight, and an
indirect-response model with eplontersen-driven inhibition of TTR
production.

EpoetinBeta
(Hayashi 1998)
|
One-compartment population PK model for subcutaneous recombinant human
erythropoietin (epoetin beta) in healthy adult male Japanese volunteers
with a constant endogenous EPO production rate carrying a fixed
circadian sinusoid (acrophase near midnight) feeding the central
compartment, and body weight as a power covariate on apparent absorption
rate ka and apparent central volume V/F, plus serum creatinine and age
as power covariates on the elimination rate constant k_e
(reparameterised here onto canonical CL/F so the k_e covariates ride on
CL/F together with the V/F weight exponent); apparent V/F and E/F
throughout because bioavailability was not separately estimable from
this SC-only study (Hayashi 1998).

Eribulin
(Kawamura 2018)
|
Three-compartment IV PK driver coupled with a Friberg-style
semi-mechanistic PD model for eribulin-induced neutropenia in Japanese
patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (Kawamura 2018).
Plasma eribulin concentrations are produced by a 3-compartment model
with linear elimination from the central compartment whose parameters
are FIXED from the Majid 2014 popPK analysis (reproduced verbatim in
Kawamura 2018 section 2.3): CL depends on body weight (allometric 0.75),
serum albumin, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin; V1, V2, V3
scale linearly with body weight; Q2 and Q3 scale allometrically with
body weight. The PD layer (proliferation + three transit compartments +
circulating neutrophils + feedback) is estimated on 401 patients / 5199
ANC measurements (Table 2): MTT = 104.5 h, Kprol = 0.0377 /h, Kout =
0.0295 /h, Gamma = 0.203, Slope = 0.0413 mL/ng (linear drug effect).
Serum albumin influences Kprol (negative exponent), MTT (positive
exponent), and Kout (positive exponent); a binary low-baseline-ANC
indicator (BNEU3 = 1 when baseline ANC < 3000/uL) multiplies Kprol.
IIV is reported on Kprol, Kout, and Slope (no IIV on MTT or Gamma).
Additive residual error on circulating ANC (sigma = 1.15 cells/nL = 1150
cells/uL). Eribulin doses must be supplied in milligrams of
eribulin-FREE-BASE equivalent (1.4 mg/m^2 mesilate = 1.23 mg/m^2 free
base, conversion factor 1.23/1.4).

Eribulin
(vanHasselt 2015)
|
Disease-progression (DP) model for prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
dynamics in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)
patients treated with eribulin mesilate (van Hasselt 2015). K-PD
framework: the per-dose predicted eribulin AUC enters a single transient
drug-effect compartment depot_kpd that decays with rate KP (fixed to
6000 /day so the effect is nearly instantaneous after each dose); PSA
evolves under a first-order growth rate KG counteracted by an inhibition
rate KD0 multiplied by the K-PD state depot_kpd and an exponentially
decaying resistance factor exp(-k_res*t). PSA0, KD0, KG, k_res have
correlated lognormal IIV; proportional residual error on PSA
(log-transform-both-sides). Prior taxane treatment (binary PRIOR_TAXANE)
multiplies PSA0; cumulative number of days of prior taxane treatment
(continuous PRIOR_TAXANE_DAYS) enters KD0 as (1 + NTRT/720)^theta. The
companion parametric Weibull survival sub-model fit in R survreg is
documented in the vignette but not encoded here (not an ODE / nlmixr2
structure).

(proliferating drug-sensitive S and non-growing drug-insensitive R) with
sigmoidal Emax killing of S via an effect compartment; first-order drug

drug-specific degradation kdeg fixed at zero. Parameter values are from
the combined static and dynamic estimation in Table 3.

Etanercept
(Fang 2010)
|
One-compartment population PK model for rhTNFR-Fc (recombinant human TNF
receptor-Fc fusion protein; etanercept-class molecule from Celgen
Bio-Pharmaceutical) with first-order subcutaneous absorption, absorption
lag time, and linear elimination in healthy Chinese volunteers (single
SC doses 12.5-50 mg) and Chinese male patients with ankylosing
spondylitis (multiple SC doses 25 mg BIW or 50 mg QW) (Fang 2010).
Female sex is the typical-value reference: males have 0.655x lower CL/F.
Single-dose administration is the typical-value reference: multi-dose
administration in AS patients has 0.674x lower apparent bioavailability
F.

Ethanol
(Nemoto 2017)
|
Bayesian population PK model for orally ingested ethanol (alcohol) in 34
healthy Japanese adults (Nemoto 2017). One-compartment model with
first-order absorption and Michaelis-Menten elimination; covariates:
sex, age, body weight, ALDH2 and ADH1B genotypes. Final model fit by a
fully conditional MCMC Bayesian analysis with informative priors derived
from Seng et al. 2014 (Chinese + Indian cohort).

Ethaselen
(Ye 2017)
|
Preclinical (mouse, BALB/c nude with A549 NSCLC xenograft). Integrated
dose-biomarker-response PD model for the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR)
inhibitor ethaselen (Ye et al. 2017). The TrxR biomarker is described by
an indirect-response (IDR) turnover in which the zero-order production
Kin is linearly amplified by the instantaneous natural tumor growth rate
(linear correction factor gamma1) and the first-order degradation Kout
is increased by a sigmoidal Emax function of the current administered
ethaselen dose (Smax, SC50, Hill = gamma2). Tumor volume follows a
smooth exponential-to-linear growth law (paper Eq 5: dX/dt =
2lambda0lambda1X / (lambda1 + 2lambda0*X)) tempered by
a zero-order Emax killing rate driven by the TrxR-inhibition ratio P = 1
- TrxR_treatment / TrxR_control (paper Eq 7). The control TrxR
trajectory is carried internally as a shadow state (trxr_ctrl) so P is
defined per-subject without requiring an external control-arm
simulation. No pharmacokinetic compartment is included; the paper
acknowledges ethaselen plasma concentrations were not measured. The
current daily dose enters the model through the time-varying covariate
DOSE (mg/kg/day), which the published study toggles between 0 (vehicle /
off-treatment) and one of {36, 72, 108} mg/kg/day for days 0-9 (oral
gavage QD x10 d).

Etrolizumab
(Moein 2022)

absorption and time-decreasing clearance in adults with
moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (Moein 2022)
|
|
Everolimus
(deWit 2016)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption for
everolimus 10 mg once-daily in 40 adult patients with advanced thyroid
carcinoma (de Wit 2016). Bioavailability F is structurally fixed at 1
(absolute F unknown), so reported CL, V1, Q, and V2 are apparent (oral /
F). Allometric scaling on apparent clearance (exponent 0.75) and
apparent central volume (exponent 1.0) using a 70 kg reference weight
per the Anderson and Holford theory cited by the paper. Apparent
peripheral volume V2/F was held fixed at 400 L in the final model.
Bioavailability is multiplied by 0.792 in subjects who carry at least
one ABCB1 TTT haplotype (CYP3A / P-gp efflux marker). Inter-occasion
variability on F captures the day-1-vs-day-15 sampling occasion contrast
(CV 19.2%).

Everolimus
(TerHeine 2018)
|
Semi-mechanistic two-compartment population PK model for everolimus in
pooled adult oncology (metastatic thyroid or breast cancer) and renal
transplant patients (ter Heine 2018). Oral absorption is modelled with a
chain of four transit compartments parameterised by the mean absorption
time MAT and the Savic 2007 convention ktr = (n + 1) / MAT (n = 4
transit compartments). Hepatic disposition uses a well-stirred liver
model: hepatic plasma flow QHP = QH * (1 - HCT); hepatic extraction EH =
fu * CLint / (QHP + fu * CLint) with FIXED unbound fraction fu = 0.27;
oral bioavailability F = 1 - EH and systemic plasma clearance CLH = QHP
* EH. Volume parameters (VC, VP) and flow parameters (QH = 90 L/h FIXED,
Q) are allometrically scaled to fat-free mass FFM at a 57.2 kg reference
(equivalent to a 70 kg, 1.80 m adult male) with theory-based exponents
0.75 on flows and 1.0 on volumes (Anderson and Holford). Concomitant
high-dose oral prednisolone (PRED_DOSE >= 20 mg/day, a CYP3A4
inducer) increases apparent CLint by 31%. Modelled plasma concentrations
were derived externally from observed whole-blood concentrations and HCT
via a Langmuir-plus-linear erythrocyte binding model (Bmax = 0.964 mg/L,
Kd = 0.0920 mg/L, Kns = 0.153); the vignette uses the same
back-calculation to compare simulated plasma concentrations against the
paper’s whole-blood trough targets.

Evinacumab
(Pu 2021)
|
Population PK/PD model for evinacumab in healthy volunteers and adults /
pediatric patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (Pu
2021): two-compartment PK with first-order SC absorption (with lag time)

compartment, linked to a Type 1 indirect-response model for low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) where evinacumab inhibits LDL-C
production.

Evolocumab
(Kuchimanchi 2018)
|
One-compartment population PK model for evolocumab with first-order SC

elimination from the central compartment, in healthy adults and patients
with hypercholesterolemia (Kuchimanchi 2018)

|
Exemestane
(Valle 2005)
|
Three-compartment population PK with first-order absorption + lag time,
coupled to an indirect-response PD model on plasma estrone sulphate
(E1S), for oral exemestane (25 mg single dose) in healthy postmenopausal
women. Crossover study comparing a sugar-coated tablet (SCT) under
fasting versus an extemporaneous tablet-suspended-in-water suspension
under fasting versus a SCT taken after a standard high-fat breakfast.
Disposition is independent of formulation and food; absorption rate ka
and apparent bioavailability F depend on formulation (suspension: ka 7.6
vs SCT 2.35 1/h, F 1.2x) and on the high-fat meal (ka 1.13 1/h, F 1.6x).
Exemestane inhibits E1S synthesis via a sigmoid Imax function with IC50
22.1 pg/mL and Hill coefficient 1.73.

Exenatide
er (Cirincione 2017)
|
Population PK model for extended-release (ER) microsphere SC exenatide
in patients with type 2 diabetes (Cirincione 2017 AAPS J):
two-compartment disposition with three parallel SC-absorption processes
(initial first-order release plus two Savic 2007 analytical
transit-compartment chains for the second- and third-phase microsphere
release) and parallel linear plus saturable Michaelis-Menten
elimination. Disposition parameters (CL, Q, Vc, Vp, Vmax, Km) and the
eGFR-on-CL and WT-on-Vc covariate effects are fixed from the IR
companion model (Cirincione 2017 BJCP).

Pooled paediatric (neonates and children) and adult cohort with
allometric scaling fixed at 0.75 on CL and Q and 1.0 on Vc and Vp
(reference WT 70 kg); inter-individual variability retained only on CL.
Residual variability follows the NONMEM Poisson error model (Var(Y|F) =
F * sigma^2), encoded as a power-error with fixed exponent 0.5.

|
Two-compartment population PK model for Fanhdi/Alphanate (plasma-derived
factor VIII concentrate, Grifols) in hemophilia A patients pooled from
12 hemophilia centers in the WAPPS-Hemo platform (Chelle 2019). Final
model has fat-free mass (FFM) as a power-form covariate on CL, V1, and
V2, and a piecewise-linear age effect on CL above the median age of 25
years; between-subject variability is a BLOCK(2) on CL and V1 with
correlation 0.797; residual error is proportional only.

Febuxostat
lesinurad (HillMcManus 2017)
|
Semi-mechanistic dual-drug PKPD model for the impact of non-adherence to
febuxostat (xanthine oxidase inhibitor) plus lesinurad (URAT1
uricosuric) urate-lowering therapy in gout; combines published

Fenofibrate
(Back 2018)
|
Mechanism-based oral absorption / disposition model for fenofibrate
(parent) and fenofibric acid (active form, measured analyte) in healthy
Korean adults under fasted, standard-meal, and high-fat-meal conditions.
Three drug compartments (stomach -> duodenum -> central) coupled
to a 2-compartment calorie sub-model (stomach -> duodenum) via a
bile-acid-driven coupling: the combined fenofibrate-metabolism /
fenofibric-acid-absorption rate constant km&a is multiplied by (1 +
Ebile * calories_in_duodenum), and a time-varying gastric emptying rate
constant kg is multiplied by (1 + Efood) for the first 6.94 h after a
meal. Meal-type-specific shifts on Vc/F encode the additional
bioavailability change between fasted, standard, and high-fat meals.

One-compartment population PK model for transdermal fentanyl (Durogesic
patch) in adult cancer patients with first-order absorption from the

|
|
Fentanyl
(Oosten 2016)
|
One-compartment population PK model for fentanyl administered by
continuous subcutaneous infusion and transdermal matrix patch in adult
cancer patients, with separate first-order absorption for each route,
transdermal lag time, allometric body-weight scaling on CL/F and V/F
(V/F fixed at 280 L), IIV on Ka (sc and td), F (td), and CL/F, IOV on

Fentanyl
iv (Mann 2022)
|
Three-compartment IV fentanyl population PK with a first-order biophase
(effect-site) equilibrium compartment, used as the agonist input layer
of the Mann 2022 translational opioid-overdose model. Parameter values
are the Algera 2021 popPK fit re-tabulated in Mann 2022 Supplement 1
Table S1 (intravenous fentanyl, healthy opioid- naive and chronic
opioid-user volunteers pooled, n = 30). Allometric scaling: CL and
inter-compartmental clearances on (WT/70)^0.75, volumes on (WT/70).
Outputs plasma concentration Cc in ng/mL and effect-site Ce in both
ng/mL and pM for downstream consumption by the Mann 2022 mu-opioid
receptor binding model. Intended for use as the IV-fentanyl agonist
input in a simulated overdose-rescue chain; no residual error is
reported in the source supplement.

Ferumoxytol
(Plock 2014)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with Michaelis-Menten elimination
for IV ferumoxytol in healthy adults and adults with chronic kidney
disease (Plock 2014). Encodes the typical non-dialysing-patient form;
the haemodialysis-driven time-varying central volume (VSLOPE) and the
within-session weight-loss effect on V1 (WLO) are described in the
vignette but not enabled in this model file.

Fimasartan
(Kim 2017)
|
Population PK-PD model for fimasartan (an angiotensin II receptor
blocker) in healthy adult Korean men and men with mild or moderate
hepatic impairment (Kim 2017). Plasma fimasartan is described by a
2-compartment model with parallel mixed-input absorption: a first-order
arm with rate Ka and absorption lag time LAG (fraction F1 = (1 - alpha)
* F of the dose) running in parallel with a zero-order arm of virtual
duration D2 (fraction F2 = alpha * F of the dose), where the total
relative bioavailability F is fixed at 0.18 in healthy subjects (Kim
2008) and incremented to 0.18 + IL1 in mild and 0.18 + IL2 in moderate
hepatic impairment to capture the markedly higher Cmax observed in
cirrhotic patients via reduced first-pass extraction and intrahepatic
shunting. The PD model describes systolic and diastolic blood pressures
as indirect-response (turnover) compartments with zero-order synthesis
Kin inhibited by fimasartan via a sigmoid-Imax function E(C) = 1 - Emax
* Cc / (EC50 + Cc) and first-order loss Kout = Kin / Base; the
steady-state baseline rides a fixed cosinor circadian rhythm Bsl(t) =
MESOR * (1 + Amp1% * cos(2pi(t - AC1)/24) + Amp2% *
cos(2pi(t - AC2)/12)) with amplitudes and phases inherited from
Park 2014 (healthy Korean reference). EC50 is stratified by
hepatic-impairment severity: for SBP, healthy versus any-impairment
pooled (mild + moderate); for DBP, healthy + mild versus moderate alone,
reflecting the contrasting impact of hepatic dysfunction on the two
pressure outputs.

Finafloxacin
(Taubert 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for finafloxacin (a novel
fluoroquinolone with enhanced antibacterial activity at acidic pH) with
linear elimination, parallel first-order plus zero-order oral absorption
(each with its own absorption lag time), an additive renal + non-renal
clearance decomposition, and a cumulative-urinary excretion compartment.
Built from pooled data of 266 subjects across three trials: 127 healthy
volunteers (Trial I oral 25-1,000 mg/day; Trial II IV 200-1,000 mg/day)
and 139 patients with complicated urinary tract infections (Trial III IV
800 mg/day, 60-min infusions). Covariates: body surface area on the
central volume of distribution (power form, exponent 1.50, reference
1.829 m^2) and healthy / patient cohort status (DIS_HEALTHY) on both the
renal and non-renal clearance arms. The paper-reported total apparent
clearance (20.9 L/h healthy; -29% in patients) and population-specific
fraction renally excreted (FER1 = 0.40 healthy, FER2 = 0.21 patient) are
re-parameterised into the canonical lcl_renal + lcl_nonren additive
decomposition; the typical values are anchored to DIS_HEALTHY = 0
(patient reference) per the inst/references/covariate-columns.md
DIS_HEALTHY convention. The IIV translation between the paper and the
re-parameterised forms is documented in the validation vignette
Assumptions and deviations (Taubert 2018).

Flucloxacillin
(Landersdorfer 2007)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for IV flucloxacillin in healthy
adult volunteers (Landersdorfer 2007) with linear renal and non-renal
elimination. The structural model splits total clearance into a renal
arm (CL_R = 5.37 L/h) and a non-renal arm (CL_NR = 2.73 L/h); their sum
reproduces the derived total clearance CL_T = 8.10 L/h reported in Table
2. The renal arm also drives a cumulative urinary excretion compartment
that the paper fits jointly with plasma. Distribution uses a shallow
peripheral (V_2 = 2.61 L, CLic_shallow = 15.3 L/h) and a deep peripheral
(V_3 = 2.17 L, CLic_deep = 1.23 L/h); central volume V_1 = 4.79 L.
Between-subject variability is reported as a full 5x5
variance-covariance matrix (Table 3, natural-log scale) on CL_R, CL_NR,
V_1, V_2, V_3; no BSV is included on the inter-compartmental clearances.
Residual error is combined additive + proportional on both plasma
concentrations (9.4% CV, 0.155 mg/L) and cumulative urinary amounts
(20.9% CV, 1.04 mg). The 5-min infusion duration used in the study is
supplied via dose records (DUR / RATE) rather than as a model parameter.
No structural covariates were retained: the cohort was 10 healthy
Caucasian adults (5 M / 5 F, weight 52-83 kg, age 23-34 years) and
demographics are not used inside the model. Monte Carlo dose-attainment
simulations in the paper (continuous, 4-h, 0.5-h infusions) reuse these
PK parameters together with 96% protein binding.

Fluconazole
(Wade 2008)

0.75 and 1.0, reference 1 kg), power effects of gestational age at birth
(reference 26 weeks) and postnatal age (reference 2 weeks) on CL, and an
on/off power effect of serum creatinine on CL gated when SCR > 1
mg/dL (Wade 2008).

One-compartment IV population PK plus Holford-Sheiner effect-compartment
for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disposition of flurbiprofen, the active
metabolite of flurbiprofen axetil, in Chinese adults with postoperative
pain receiving 1 mg/kg IV flurbiprofen axetil (Zhang 2018, Tables 1-2,
Eq. 3 covariate form). Final-model typical values CL = 1.55 L/h, Vd =
7.91 L, plasma-CSF equilibration rate Ke = 0.0015/h;
linear-multiplicative covariate effects of weight and height on Ke
centered on the population medians (68.5 kg, 165 cm).

Fluticasone
inhaled (Weber 2015)
|
Semi-mechanistic. Population PK model for inhaled fluticasone propionate
(FP) in healthy adult volunteers (Weber 2015), used for Monte-Carlo
simulation of PK-based bioequivalence trials. Separate central (LC1
-> LC2) and peripheral (LP1 -> LP2) lung deposition compartments
hold undissolved drug particles (LC1, LP1) and dissolved drug (LC2,
LP2); mucociliary clearance kmuc removes undissolved particles from
central lung regions only; dissolved drug is absorbed into a
two-compartment systemic disposition with central-to-peripheral rate
constants k12 and k21. Each administration splits across LC1
(bioavailability flung * fc) and LP1 (bioavailability flung * (1 - fc));
the remaining (1 - flung) fraction is assumed to have negligible oral
bioavailability. F_Lung and F_C are logit-transformed; all other
parameters are log-transformed. Structural parameters and BSV were taken
from the validated FP inhalation model of Weber and Hochhaus 2013
(reference 13 of Weber 2015); BOV on F_Lung, F_C, and kmuc described as
a paper-specific extension for crossover-trial simulation is NOT encoded
in this model file (see vignette Assumptions and deviations).

Follitropin
delta (Rose 2016)
|
One-compartment population PK model for FE 999049 (recombinant human
FSH; INN follitropin delta) with first-order subcutaneous absorption
through a single transit compartment and first-order elimination, in 27
healthy pituitary-suppressed female subjects after a single subcutaneous
dose of 37.5-450 IU (2.2-26.3 ug). Body weight enters as an allometric

Fondaparinux
(Zufferey 2018)
|
Parametric time-to-event model for major bleeding after major
orthopaedic surgery under fondaparinux thromboprophylaxis (POP-A-RIX 2.5
mg once daily and PROPICE 1.5 mg once daily pooled cohorts; n = 1393, 64
adjudicated bleeding events). The hazard is hz(t) = h0(t) *
exp(beta1SEX + beta2AUCinf/8.5 + beta3LBM/44), with
gamma-shaped baseline h0(t) =
theta1theta2(t-theta3)exp(-theta2(t-theta3)) for t
> theta3 and 0 otherwise (lag time theta3 ~= 17.6 h, peak ~4 days
post-surgery). AUCinf is derived inside the model from daily dose and
clearance using the paper’s PK equation CL = 0.34 (CRCL/60)^0.485
* exp(eta) (lean-body-weight Cockcroft-Gault CrCl).

Fosdagrocorat
(Weatherley 2018)
|
Simultaneous parent-metabolite population PK model for oral
fosdagrocorat (PF-04171327, a phosphate-ester prodrug of the dissociated
glucocorticoid receptor agonist PF-00251802) in adult
rheumatoid-arthritis patients receiving stable background methotrexate
(Weatherley 2018). The prodrug is fully cleaved by alkaline phosphatase
in the gut wall before absorption; only the active Metabolite-1
(PF-00251802) and its circulating N-oxide Metabolite-2 (PF-04015475) are
modelled. Metabolite-1 is described by a two-compartment disposition
(apparent CL, V2, Q, V4 fixed at 209 L) with first-order absorption
(K12) and bioavailability F1 fixed at 1 (apparent F absorbed via the
prodrug-to-Metabolite-1 conversion). Metabolite-2 is described by a
one-compartment disposition (apparent Vm, CLm) with Fm fixed at 1
(assumed 100 percent molar conversion of Metabolite-1 to Metabolite-2).
Standard allometric weight scaling is fixed on Metabolite-1 disposition
(exponent 0.75 on CL and Q; exponent 1.00 on V2 and V4); body-weight
scaling on Metabolite-2 CLm is estimated as a power-form covariate
(exponent 0.450) and no weight effect is applied to Vm (rejected in
stepwise covariate testing). Retained covariates on Metabolite-1 CL are
female-vs-male (-26.8 percent) and a small linear age effect (-0.00633
L/h per year above 40). Retained covariates on Metabolite-2 CLm are
female-vs-male (-34.1 percent) and body weight. Inter-individual
variability is reported on Metabolite-1 CL (33 percent CV) and
absorption rate K12 (249 percent CV), and on Metabolite-2 Vm (44 percent
CV) and CLm (26 percent CV). The publication’s interoccasion variability
on Metabolite-1 F1 (23.8 percent CV across dosing occasions) is encoded
here as IIV on F1 because nlmixr2lib simulation does not carry an
occasion column; this approximation is documented in the vignette
Assumptions section. Residual error is combined additive plus
proportional on the linear-concentration scale separately for each
analyte (Metabolite-1 proportional 19.9 percent + additive 0.305 ng/mL;
Metabolite-2 proportional 7.8 percent + additive 0.10 ng/mL).

Fosdagrocorat
oc (Shoji 2017)
|
Kinetic-pharmacodynamic (K-PD) model for serum osteocalcin (OC)
bone-formation biomarker following once-daily oral fosdagrocorat
(PF-04171327, a dissociated agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor) or
oral prednisone comparator in adults with rheumatoid arthritis on
background methotrexate (Shoji 2017). Sister model to
Shoji_2017_fosdagrocorat_p1np: identical K-PD structure (virtual K-PD
depot with zero-order Input mg/week and first-order KDE; sigmoid Emax
inhibition of biomarker synthesis with Hill coefficient fixed to 1;
empirical dose-and-time-dependent rebound multiplier; additive
placebo-period slope). For the OC fit Shoji 2017 fixed KDE to the
P1NP-derived estimates and fixed Imax to 1 for both drugs, and used
independent (not block) IIV on KDE, EDK50, and BL.

Fosdagrocorat
p1np (Shoji 2017)
|
Kinetic-pharmacodynamic (K-PD) model for serum amino-terminal propeptide
of type I collagen (P1NP) bone-formation biomarker following once-daily
oral fosdagrocorat (PF-04171327, a dissociated agonist of the
glucocorticoid receptor) or oral prednisone comparator in adults with
rheumatoid arthritis on background methotrexate (Shoji 2017). A virtual
K-PD depot for the drug (zero-order Input mg/week, first-order
elimination KDE) feeds a sigmoid Emax inhibition of biomarker synthesis
(Hill coefficient fixed to 1); the synthesis rate carries an empirical
dose-and-time-dependent rebound multiplier and an additive linear
placebo-period slope captures the methotrexate-only time trend.

Fremanezumab
(Fiedler-Kelly 2019)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for fremanezumab (anti-CGRP IgG2
delta-a/kappa mAb) with first-order SC absorption, absorption lag time,
and route-specific central volume / residual error supporting both IV
and SC administration in healthy adults and adults with chronic or
episodic migraine (Fiedler-Kelly 2019).

|
Fremanezumab
cm (FiedlerKelly 2020)
|
Population PD exposure-response model relating fremanezumab average
plasma concentration (Cav) to monthly moderate-to-severe headache days
in adults with chronic migraine. Placebo time-course is a Hill (sigmoid)
function in months and the drug effect is a power function of Cav
centered on the population median Cav. Fitted to 5312 monthly
observations from 1361 chronic-migraine patients pooled across the
LBR-101-021 phase 2b and TV48125-CNS-30049 phase 3 studies
(Fiedler-Kelly 2020).
|
|
Fremanezumab
em (FiedlerKelly 2020)
|
Population PD exposure-response model relating fremanezumab average
plasma concentration (Cav) to monthly migraine days in adults with
episodic migraine. Placebo time-course is an exponential growth in
months (predicted reduction = exp(exponent * t)) and the drug effect is
an Emax/EC50 of Cav scaled by individual baseline migraine days. Fitted
to 4444 monthly observations from 1142 episodic-migraine patients pooled
across the LBR-101-022 phase 2b and TV48125-CNS-30050 phase 3 studies
(Fiedler-Kelly 2020).

FXa
inhibitors mbma (Yoshioka 2018)
|
MBMA. PT-ratio-driven logistic event-rate model for direct oral factor
Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) in non-valvular atrial
fibrillation. Inputs a population-mean prothrombin-time ratio (PTR)
supplied per observation time; outputs per-arm probability of ischemic
stroke/SE (p_isse) and of major bleeding (p_mb), plus a derived per-arm
mortality probability. Fit by NONMEM 7.3 to per-arm event counts from 5
large RCTs (Yoshioka 2018; 57,655 patients). Suitable for simulating
per-arm summary outcomes only; the upstream popPK -> PT-ratio layer
for each FXa inhibitor is out of scope and PTR must be supplied
externally.

Ganciclovir
(Caldes 2009)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for ganciclovir after IV ganciclovir
and oral valganciclovir administration in solid organ transplant
patients infected with cytomegalovirus, with first-order absorption, lag
time, logit-transformed bioavailability, and creatinine-clearance
scaling on CL (Caldes 2009)
|
|
Ganciclovir
(Chen 2021)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral ganciclovir (the active
metabolite of valganciclovir) in adult Chinese renal allograft
recipients (Chen 2021), with first-order absorption after a lag time and
a linear creatinine-clearance effect on apparent oral clearance (CL/F).
|
|
Ganciclovir
(Koloskoff 2025)
|
Indirect-response viral turnover PD model for cytomegalovirus (CMV)
viral load decline in pediatric solid-organ and hematopoietic-stem-cell
transplant recipients receiving (val)ganciclovir (Koloskoff 2025). The
model treats the q12h-interval ganciclovir AUC (AUC_0-12) as a
time-varying covariate input AUC_GCV that stimulates first-order viral
degradation through an Emax-EC50 relationship. The upstream popPK that
produces AUC_0-12 (Franck 2021 Bayesian estimator) is NOT included here;
AUC_GCV must be supplied per record by the user, either from the Franck
2021 model or any other AUC source.

(Grimm 2023)
|
Gantenerumab PK model in cynomolgus monkeys (Grimm 2023):

Gatifloxacin
(Smythe 2013)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral gatifloxacin in adult
African pulmonary tuberculosis patients co-administered rifampin,
isoniazid, and pyrazinamide (Smythe 2013). Savic transit-compartment
absorption (analytical form, N = 12.6, MTT = 0.65 h) feeds first-order
absorption into a one-compartment disposition model. Apparent oral
clearance is split into a GFR-mediated component scaled linearly with
Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance and a non-GFR (other) component
scaled allometrically with fat-free mass (FFM, Janmahasatian formula);
apparent volume is scaled linearly with FFM. Age, sex, and HIV status
modify the absorption rate constant. Relative bioavailability is fixed
at 1 on the first dose and 11.7% lower at steady state.

Gentamicin
(Bijleveld 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model of intravenous gentamicin in
(pre)term neonates with suspected or proven Gram-negative sepsis
(Bijleveld 2017), with fixed allometric body-weight scaling (exponents
0.75 on CL and Q, 1 on Vc and Vp) and an estimated postmenstrual-age
power effect on CL.

|
Gentamicin
(Hodiamont 2017)

error, and substantial inter-occasion variability on CL and V1 reported
in the source (documented in the vignette assumptions, not encoded
structurally).

patients with febrile neutropenia (Llanos-Paez 2017)
|
|
Gentamicin
(Llanos-Paez 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for gentamicin in pediatric oncology
patients (Llanos-Paez 2017 AAC) extended with a renal-cortex
accumulation compartment and an Emax model of relative renal-function
reduction (Llanos-Paez 2017 AAPS J).
|
|
Gentamicin
(Llanos-Paez 2020)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for gentamicin in pediatric
oncology and nononcology patients (Llanos-Paez 2020); body composition
is described by normal fat mass (NFM = FFM + Ffat * (TBW - FFM)) with
separate Ffat estimates for CL (0.48) and V1 (0.10) and Ffat fixed to 0
for Q and V2; CL is driven by Holford 2017 GFR-maturation (PMA-based
Hill function) and a power ratio of age/sex-matched physiological mean
serum creatinine (Ceriotti 2008) over individual SCR; oncology cohort
has 15.4% lower V1 and 32.1% lower Q than nononcology.
|
|
Gentamicin
(MedellinGaribay 2015)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for gentamicin in infants 1-24
months (Medellin-Garibay 2015) with linear body-weight scaling on CL and
central volume Vc and an additive (CLCR/75)-driven term on CL;
intercompartmental clearance Q and peripheral volume Vp are not
weight-scaled in the published parameterisation.
|
|
Gentamicin
(Mohamed 2012)
|
In vitro (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922). Semi-mechanistic PKPD model of
gentamicin bactericidal activity with adaptive resistance:
drug-susceptible growing bacteria (bact_growing) plus insusceptible
resting bacteria (bact_resting), with a binding model (ar_off / ar_on)
by which gentamicin reduces its own Emax. Fit jointly to static and
dynamic in-vitro time-kill curves.
|
|
Gentamicin
(Thomson 2003)
|
One-compartment population PK model of intramuscular gentamicin in
African infants with suspected severe sepsis (Thomson 2003). The 8 mg/kg
i.m. dose is modelled as an IV bolus into the central compartment
because first-order absorption could not be characterised from the
sparse 1 h / next-morning sampling (the paper documents that ka
estimates were poorly identified and absorption appeared complete by 1
h). Apparent clearance scales linearly with body weight and as a power
function of (postnatal age + 1 day) normalised to the cohort median + 1
day; apparent volume of distribution scales linearly with body weight
relative to the cohort median 3 kg. Reported CL and V are apparent
values (CL/F, V/F) because all doses were administered by intramuscular
injection and bioavailability could not be estimated.

Second-generation minimal physiologically-based PK (mPBPK) model for
gevokizumab in adults (Cao 2013 Model A; clearance from plasma)

Givosiran
(Ayyar 2024)
|
Mechanistic translational PK model for the GalNAc-siRNA givosiran (Ayyar
& Song 2024) parameterized for human (70 kg adult). 22-ODE system
covering SC depot, central plasma (parent + AS(N-1)3’ active
metabolite), competitive ASGPR receptor binding (free target,
parent-target complex, metabolite-target complex), receptor-mediated
hepatocyte internalization, endolysosomal sequestration / degradation /
endosomal escape, free cytoplasmic siRNA, RISC-loaded siRNA (combined
parent + metabolite), kidney vascular and tissue distribution with a
deep bound pool and GFR elimination - for parent and metabolite.
Pharmacodynamic ALAS1 mRNA silencing (rat-only in the paper) is not
included in the human parameterization.

Glibenclamide
(Rambiritch 2016)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption for
glibenclamide in poorly controlled South African adults with type 2
diabetes (Rambiritch 2016). All disposition parameters are apparent
(CL/F, Vc/F, Vp/F, Q/F); F is not estimated. Concentration data were
log-transformed prior to NONMEM fitting (LTBS), giving an effectively
proportional residual error in linear space. No covariate effects were
retained in the final model.

|
Glucarpidase
(Kimura 2023)
|
Modified Michaelis-Menten PK/PD simulation model for glucarpidase (CPG2)
rescue after high-dose methotrexate (Kimura 2023). MTX disposition is
2-compartment IV with renal-only first-order elimination (Kr fixed at
~10% of literature total MTX CL from Fukahara 2008); the remaining
elimination is captured by a saturable hydrolysis term coupled to a
1-compartment IV CPG2 disposition. All structural parameters are
literature-sourced point values (no estimation in the source paper).

mAb) in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (pooled phase 2
X-PLORE and phase 3 VOYAGE 1 / VOYAGE 2 trials; Yao 2018)
|
|
Haloperidol
(Franken 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for haloperidol in 28 terminally ill
adult palliative-care patients (Franken 2017). Two parallel first-order
absorption routes (oral and subcutaneous) with route-specific absorption
rate constants fixed from literature (Ka oral = 0.236 1/h, Ka SC = 20
1/h derived from intramuscular Tmax = 20 min). Oral bioavailability F =
0.861 is estimated; SC F is assumed to be 1. IIV is included on F, CL,
and Vd; the IIV on F and CL was 99% correlated and is encoded with
correlation fixed to unity (BLOCK pattern). Residual variability is
additive on log-transformed concentrations (LTBS). Covariate analysis
(body weight, age, sex, primary diagnosis, plasma creatinine, urea,
bilirubin, GGT, ALP, ALT, AST, CRP, albumin, concomitant CYP2D6 / CYP3A
inducers and inhibitors, time-to-death) did not retain any covariate in
the final model.
|
|
Higenamine
(Feng 2012)
|
Population PK/PD model for intravenous higenamine in 10 healthy Chinese
subjects (Feng 2012). Two-compartment disposition with Michaelis-Menten
(saturable) elimination from the central compartment, plus a
direct-effect Emax sub-model for the cardiovascular-stress heart-rate
response (E = E0 + Emax * Cc / (EC50 + Cc)). No demographic covariates
were retained in the final model (sex, height, weight, BMI, and age were
graphically screened but did not influence PK or PD).
|
|
HL2351
(Ngo 2020)
|
Population PK model for HL2351 (hIL-1Ra-hyFc, ~97 kDa) in healthy adult
Korean men: a quasi-steady-state target-mediated drug disposition
(QSS-TMDD) model coupled with FcRn-mediated recycling. The
injection-site depot feeds a separate distribution space where free drug
equilibrates with FcRn (QSS dissociation constant AKSS1, total FcRn
AFcRn_t); free drug moves to the central compartment either directly
(Ka2) or by FcRn-mediated recycling of the FcRn-drug complex (Krec). In
the central compartment free drug equilibrates with IL1R (QSS
dissociation constant KSS2, total IL1R CIL1R_t), is taken up back to the
distribution space (Kup), exchanged with one peripheral compartment
(Q/F), and eliminated linearly (CL/F). The IL1R-drug complex degrades at
Kdeg2. All drug amounts and concentrations are in nmol / nmol/L; convert
mg dosing using molecular weight 97 kDa (1 mg HL2351 = approximately
10306 nmol).

HuHMFG1
(Royer 2010)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with linear elimination for HuHMFG1
(AS1402), a humanised anti-MUC1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with

|
Hydroxyurea
(Paule 2011)
|
Two-compartment population PK + indirect-response PD models for
hydroxyurea (HU) in adults with sickle cell anemia (Paule 2011):
bicompartmental oral PK with first-order absorption and elimination,
allometric scaling on CL/F and Vc/F; turnover models for HbF percentage
and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) where HU inhibits the elimination rate
of each PD response.
|
|
Iclaprim
(Lodise 2018)
|
Two-compartment IV-infusion population PK model for iclaprim, a
bacterial dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, in adult patients with
complicated skin and skin-structure infections from the pooled ASSIST-1
and ASSIST-2 phase 3 trials (Lodise 2018). Structural typical-value
equations are additive-linear (NONMEM theta-sum form rather than power
form): central volume V1 carries a body-weight slope; clearance CL
carries age + sex (male shift) + sampling-occasion (day 1-2 vs day 4 +/-
1) shifts; peripheral volume V2 has no covariates; inter-compartmental
clearance Q carries a severe-cSSSI-infection shift. Block-correlated
log-normal IIV on V1, CL, V2 was retained in the source paper but only
diagonal CV% values are tabulated – off-diagonal covariances are not
reported and are implemented here as diagonal-only (documented in the
vignette Assumptions and deviations section). Combined proportional +
additive residual error.

Ifosfamide
(Kerbusch 2000)
|
One-compartment population PK model for ifosfamide with autoinduction of
CYP3A4-mediated metabolism implemented as ifosfamide-driven inhibition
of enzyme-pool degradation (no lag time); estimated in 15 adults with
soft tissue sarcoma receiving 9 or 12 g/m^2 as a 72-h continuous IV
infusion.
|
|
Iloperidone
(Pei 2016)
|
Population PK model for iloperidone and its two major plasma metabolites
P-88 (M1, contributes to the therapeutic profile via D2 / 5-HT2A binding
affinity comparable to the parent) and P-95 (M2, CYP2D6-mediated
hydroxylation metabolite, pharmacologically less active) in 70 Chinese
patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder receiving oral
iloperidone 12-24 mg/day twice daily (Pei 2016). One-compartment
first-order absorption (Ka FIXED at 2.26 1/h, estimated in a separate
forward analysis of healthy-volunteer concentration-time data digitised
from Pei 2016 ref [23] and fixed for the patient model to stabilize
absorption identification under sparse sampling) and first-order
parallel-pathway elimination of iloperidone via three rate constants:
K20 (other elimination pathways), K23 (formation of M1), and K24
(formation of M2). Each metabolite then occupies its own one-compartment
model with FIXED apparent volume V3 = V4 = 10 L (the fractions of
iloperidone converted to each metabolite are not identifiable from the
cohort because no co-administered tracer was available, so K23, K30 and
K24, K40 are estimated against the FIXED apparent metabolite volume per
Methods) and first-order elimination (K30 for M1, K40 for M2).
Inter-occasion variability was retained on K20 in the published final
model but is NOT carried as a separate eta in this nlmixr2lib extraction
(see Errata in the validation vignette). Mass units (mg) rather than
molar units are used per the source’s convention because the molecular
weights of iloperidone (427.3 g/mol), M1 (429.4 g/mol), and M2 (429.2
g/mol) are within 0.5%. CYP2D6*10 (rs1065852) polymorphism affects both
metabolite formation rate constants: T/T homozygotes have K23 1.34-fold
the C/C + C/T pooled reference; C/T heterozygotes and T/T homozygotes
have K24 reduced to 0.693 and 0.492 of the C/C wild-type reference
respectively.
|
|
Imatinib
(Chien 2022)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral imatinib in healthy adult
volunteers (Chien 2022); first-order absorption preceded by a Savic
2007-style analytical transit-compartment chain (mean transit time and
number of transit compartments estimated), first-order elimination, and
an OMEGA BLOCK between the IIV on CL and V1 motivated by their estimated
correlation r > 0.9. No covariates were retained in the final model.
|
|
Imatinib
(Schindler 2017)
|
Joint tumor-dynamics PD model for imatinib-treated GIST liver metastases
(Schindler 2017). Three size metrics (maximum transaxial diameter MTD in
mm, software-segmented actual volume Vactual in mL, calculated
ellipsoidal volume Vellipsoid in mL) follow a logistic tumor-growth
model with a linear DOSE-dependent shrinkage term and a mono-exponential
drug-effect washout (resistance development). Tumor density (Hounsfield
units) follows an indirect-response model in which imatinib linearly
stimulates the loss rate. Each subject can carry up to two liver lesions
(lesion 1 has the larger baseline by convention); the binary covariate
MIX_LARGE_BASE selects between a mixture subpopulation with larger
lesion baselines (MIX_LARGE_BASE = 1, P = 0.348) and a smaller-baseline
subpopulation (MIX_LARGE_BASE = 0). Drug exposure enters via the daily
dose normalized to the median 400 mg, so DOSE is supplied as a
per-record time-varying covariate (in mg/day). The OS and PFS
time-to-event arms of the source publication are not encoded as ODE
compartments here (see vignette Assumptions and deviations).
|
|
Imipenem
(Lamoth 2009)
|
One-compartment IV population PK model for imipenem in adult febrile
neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies (Lamoth 2009).
Total clearance is the additive sum of a non-renal arm and a renal arm
linear in Cockcroft-Gault GFR; the central volume of distribution scales
linearly with total body weight referenced to 70 kg. A single log-normal
inter-individual variability term is applied multiplicatively to the
total clearance (TVCL = CL_nonren + CL_renal * GFR / 100), and residual
error is proportional.

Indacaterol
(Renard 2011)
|
MBMA. Study-level Bayesian Emax meta-analysis of trough FEV1
dose-response to once-daily inhaled indacaterol in adults with
moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pooled
from 11 placebo-controlled trials (7,476 patients; indacaterol doses
18.75 to 600 ug once daily). Algebraic Emax dose-response on
placebo-corrected steady-state trough FEV1 (mL); the model is
constrained to a null response at dose = 0 because the source data are
contrasts to placebo. The original Bayesian analysis included
between-study (delta_i) and between-arm-within-study (gamma_ij) random
effects on Emax with unif(0, 0.25) priors; the paper reports only the
posterior means of the structural Emax and ED50, not the random-effect
posterior summaries, comparator mean effects (formoterol, salmeterol,
tiotropium), or a per-observation residual sigma. The model file
therefore encodes the indacaterol-only structural Emax curve with
between-study and between-arm variances fixed to zero following the
Vargo 2014 MBMA precedent. Suitable for simulating typical-trajectory
study-arm-mean trough FEV1 improvement vs placebo at steady state (Week
2 to Month 6); not suitable for individual-subject simulation.

Interferon
alfa 2b (Chatelut 1999)
|
One-compartment population PK model for subcutaneous alpha-2b interferon
(Intron A) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus infection (Chatelut
1999), with sequential zero-order then first-order absorption (a
fraction Fz of the bioavailable dose is absorbed at zero-order over
duration tk0, the remaining (1 - Fz) is absorbed at first-order rate ka
after tk0) and first-order elimination. Apparent oral clearance CL/F is
reduced by 63.8% in chronic-haemodialysis patients relative to patients
with normal renal function (HEMODIAL = 1 vs 0); apparent central volume
of distribution V/F scales linearly with body surface area (BSA).
Proportional residual error.

InterferonAlfa2a
(Jeon 2013)
|
Joint PK-PD model for a sustained-release subcutaneous formulation of
interferon alfa-2a (SR-IFN-alpha) and the serum neopterin response in
healthy adult male volunteers (Jeon 2013). Pharmacokinetics:
one-compartment with first-order elimination and a parallel mixture of
zero- and first-order absorption. A fraction Fz = exp(RF)/(1 + exp(RF))
of the dose is absorbed by a zero-order process with duration D2
entering the central compartment directly; the remaining 1 - Fz is
absorbed by a first-order process (rate Ka) from a depot compartment
with lag time ALAG, accounting for the second concentration peak
observed around 100 h post-injection. Pharmacodynamics:
indirect-response (turnover) model for serum neopterin (baseline BASE =
Kin/Kout) with a single transit compartment placed between the stimulus
and the observed neopterin, delaying the neopterin response through mean
transit time MTT. The drug stimulates the zero-order production rate of
neopterin through a sigmoid Emax function E(C) = EMAX * C^GA /
(EC50(t)^GA + C^GA), where EC50 is time-dependent and increases
monotonically over time as EC50(t) = ECB * (1 + CA * (1 - exp(-CB * t)))
– an empirical saturation device that captures the observed loss of the
neopterin dose-response between groups (9, 18, 27, 36 MIU) over the
0-264 h observation window. No covariate effects were retained in the
final model. Doses are entered in MIU (10^6 IU); the published apparent
clearance (CL/F = 12.2 L/h) and apparent volume of distribution (V/F =
691 L) match values previously reported for IFN-alpha in healthy
subjects (Reference [19] of Jeon 2013). The model uses an explicit
specific-activity conversion (1 MIU = 4 ug = 4e6 pg, from the WHO
IFN-alpha-2a International Standard at 2.5e8 IU/mg) so the doses in user
data can be entered in MIU and the simulated Cc is returned in pg/mL.
The specific-activity conversion is not stated in the paper itself; it
is documented in the validation vignette’s Assumptions and deviations
section.

Ipatasertib
(Yoshida 2021)
|
Joint parent + metabolite population pharmacokinetic model for oral
ipatasertib (AKT kinase inhibitor under development for breast and
prostate cancer) and its primary active metabolite M1 (G-037720) in 342
adult patients with cancer from five Phase 1 and 2 studies (Yoshida
2021). Each analyte is described by a 3-compartment disposition model
with sequential zero-order then first-order absorption from its own
depot. The two depots receive the oral parent dose simultaneously (the
user supplies one event per depot with the same amount and time); both
bioavailability anchors are fixed at F = 1 because absolute parent F and
the fraction of parent metabolised to M1 are not separately identifiable
from oral data alone, and the apparent M1 absorption parameters (kf,
Dur, F) subsume formation, first-pass survival, and metabolite
bioavailability per the source. Retained parent covariates: power effect
of age on apparent CL/F, linear-additive effect of abiraterone
coadministration on apparent CL/F, power effect of body weight on
apparent F, and a +20.1% multiple-dose increment in apparent F
representing CYP3A auto-inhibition by ipatasertib. Retained metabolite
covariates: power effects of body weight on apparent V3 and Q3 of M1, a
+33.1% multiple-dose increment in apparent F_M1, and an additional
+61.5% abiraterone-by-multiple- dose effect on apparent F_M1. The paper
fitted parent and metabolite in TWO SEPARATE NONMEM runs (Yoshida 2021
Discussion); this file collapses them into one rxode2 model with NO
mechanistic fractional-conversion linkage, mirroring the paper’s
simulation strategy. See vignette Assumptions and deviations.

(anti-CD38 IgG1) in adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma,
with parallel time-varying linear and Michaelis-Menten eliminations from

Two-compartment population PK model with a Weibull-function first-order
absorption stage for isavuconazole administered as the prodrug

Isoniazid
(Horita 2018)
|
Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model with first-order
absorption and linear elimination for oral isoniazid in Ghanaian
children with active tuberculosis (Horita 2018); NAT2 slow-vs-nonslow
acetylator phenotype on apparent oral clearance with separate
typical-value clearances and separate IIV omegas; allometric weight
scaling on CL/F and Q/F (fixed 0.75) and V1/F and V2/F (fixed 1.0)
normalised to the cohort median 14.3 kg.
|
|
Itraconazole
(Abuhelwa 2015)
|
Population PK model for oral itraconazole and its active metabolite
hydroxy-itraconazole in healthy adults (Abuhelwa 2015). Two-compartment
parent with 4-transit-compartment Savic-style absorption and a
one-compartment hydroxy-itraconazole metabolite eliminated by mixed
linear and Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Encodes the SUBA-itraconazole vs
Sporanox formulation effect on relative bioavailability (with
formulation-dependent scaling of the F variability) and the
fed-vs-fasted effect on both relative bioavailability and the
transit-absorption rate constant; the metabolic conversion ratio fm is
assumed = 1 so all parent clearance becomes metabolite, and the
metabolite CL/V are apparent values scaled by the unknown fm.
|
|
Itraconazole
(Hennig 2006)
|
Population PK model for oral itraconazole and its active metabolite
hydroxy-itraconazole in paediatric cystic-fibrosis and
bone-marrow-transplant patients (Hennig 2006). One-compartment parent +
one-compartment metabolite with first-order absorption, first-order
metabolic conversion (fm fixed to 1), allometric weight scaling on
parent CL/F (0.75) and Vd/F (1.0), and formulation-specific ka and
relative bioavailability for capsule vs oral solution.
|
|
Itraconazole
(Hennig 2007)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral itraconazole and its
one-compartment hydroxy-itraconazole metabolite in adult cystic fibrosis
patients (Hennig 2007), with first-order absorption from a depot,
formulation-specific absorption rate constants and bioavailability for
capsule vs. oral solution selected by the binary FORM_CAPSULE covariate,
and a single absorption lag-time shared across both formulations. The
fraction of itraconazole metabolised to hydroxy-itraconazole is fixed to
1; metabolite parameters are reported as CL_m/(Ff_m) and
V_m/(Ff_m).

|
Ixazomib
(Gupta 2017)
|
Three-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for the oral
proteasome inhibitor ixazomib (Ninlaro) in 755 adult patients with
multiple myeloma, lymphoma, solid tumours, or light-chain amyloidosis
pooled across ten phase I, I/II, and III trials including TOURMALINE-MM1
(Gupta 2017). First-order linear absorption with a 13 min lag time
describes oral dosing; intravenous and oral data share the same
disposition kinetics. Inter-individual variability is estimated on
clearance, bioavailability F, and the second peripheral volume V4, with
a strong (82%) correlation between log CL and log F. Body surface area
on V4 (reference 1.87 m^2, exponent 2.06) is the only retained
covariate; sex, age, race, mild/moderate renal impairment, mild hepatic
impairment, smoking status, and CYP-modulatory concomitant medications
had no clinically relevant effect on systemic exposure. Residual error
is additive on log-transformed concentration with a
time-after-dose-varying standard deviation declining exponentially from
SD1 = 1.90 to SD0 = 0.46 with rate KSD = 0.84/h (Karlsson 1995 model 3).

jointly fit to R-ketorolac and S-ketorolac plasma concentrations after
racemic IV dosing in women at delivery, postpartum women, nonpregnant
women, and men (Valitalo 2017 BJCP). Body-weight allometric scaling on
clearance and volumes (reference 71 kg) plus proportional
pregnancy-at-delivery and male-sex effects on clearance (and
pregnancy-at-delivery on volumes), shared between enantiomers.
|
|
Lamivudine
(Archary 2019)
|
One-compartment population PK model for lamivudine in severely
malnourished HIV-infected children (Archary 2019); CL/F matures with age
via a sigmoid Emax function, Vc/F decreases linearly with serum
triglyceride, and ka steps up between day 1 and day 14 of antiretroviral
treatment
|
|
Lamivudine
(Bouazza 2010)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for once-daily oral lamivudine in
HIV-infected West African children (Bouazza 2010); allometric weight
scaling on CL/F, Q/F, Vc/F, and Vp/F with reference body weight 16.8 kg,
and absorption rate constant Ka structurally fixed to the disposition
distribution-phase eigenvalue (Ka = alpha = 0.71 1/h) from the

(Moore 1999)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral lamivudine in
HIV-1-infected adults pooled from the NUCA3001 and NUCA3002 phase III
trials (Moore 1999); CL/F scales with a Cockcroft-Gault-style renal
function index ((140 - AGE)/(CREAT * 100), * 0.85 if female) raised to
an estimated power and with linear body weight, V/F and ka carry no
covariates
|
|
Lamotrigine
(He 2012)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral lamotrigine in Chinese
paediatric patients with epilepsy aged 0.5-17 years (He 2012).
First-order absorption with Ka fixed at 1.0 1/h and bioavailability
fixed at 1 (lamotrigine steady-state trough therapeutic-drug-monitoring
data, which do not identify Ka or F), and first-order elimination from a
single central compartment. Apparent oral clearance is scaled by an
estimated power of total body weight (exponent 0.635) and modified
exponentially by concomitant antiepileptic comedication: valproate
(CONMED_VPA) reduces CL, while the enzyme-inducers carbamazepine
(CONMED_CBZ) and phenobarbital (CONMED_PB) increase CL. Apparent central
volume is fixed at 16.7 L at the 27.87 kg reference weight, scaled
linearly with total body weight (allometric exponent fixed at 1.0).
|
|
Lamotrigine
(Hussein 1997)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral lamotrigine monotherapy in
adults and adolescents newly diagnosed with epilepsy; apparent oral
clearance carries a first-order auto-induction term that decays toward a
steady-state value over treatment duration and a multiplicative race
effect for Asians vs Caucasians; apparent volume of distribution and
absorption rate constant are time-invariant with no covariate effects
retained in the final model (Hussein 1997).

|
Lampalizumab
(Le 2015)
|
Combined ocular-serum target-mediated drug-disposition (TMDD) model with
quasi-steady-state binding approximation for intravitreally administered
lampalizumab (anti-complement factor D Fab) and total complement factor
D (CFD) in adults with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related
macular degeneration. Vitreous humor is the dosing compartment (depot)
and the site of drug-target binding; aqueous humor lampalizumab and
aqueous humor total CFD observations are derived from vitreous via
constant partition coefficients; serum lampalizumab is the central
elimination compartment with linear first-order clearance. Age and
female sex modify ocular and systemic elimination rates respectively (Le
2015 Table 1, Eq. 1-7).
|
|
Landiolol
(Kunisawa 2015)
|
Two-compartment intravenous population PK model with lag time for
landiolol hydrochloride (an ultra-short-acting cardioselective
beta1-adrenergic receptor blocker) in adult patients with peripheral
arterial disease undergoing peripheral arterial surgery, with linear
body-weight normalization on CL, Vc, Q and Vp (Kunisawa 2015)

Lanreotide
(Buil-Bruna 2015)
|
One-compartment population PK model with parallel first- and zero-order
subcutaneous absorption for lanreotide Autogel/Depot in patients with
gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (Buil-Bruna 2015). A linear
effect of body weight on apparent clearance and a small categorical
effect of sex on the first-order absorbed fraction are retained;
absolute bioavailability F is not identifiable and is structurally
anchored at 1, so apparent CL/F and Vd/F are reported. Concentrations
are predicted in ng/mL; residual error is additive on the
log-transformed observations (LTBS), mapped to proportional in linear
space.
|
|
Lansoprazole
(Sakurai 2007)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for intravenously administered
lansoprazole in 56 healthy Japanese adult males (Sakurai 2007). Volumes
(V1, V2) and clearances (CL, Q) scale linearly with body weight via
per-kg reference values; systemic clearance is stratified by CYP2C19
metabolizer phenotype using two binary indicators (homoEM reference;
heteroEM and PM groups carry multiplicative factors of 0.612 and 0.212
respectively). Inter-individual variability is log-normal on V1, CL, V2
(no IIV on Q); residual error is combined proportional plus additive.

Lenvatinib
(Gupta 2016)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for lenvatinib in healthy subjects
and patients with cancer (Gupta 2016). Simultaneous first-order plus
zero-order oral absorption into the central compartment, linear
elimination, and covariate effects of body weight (allometric on CL/F
and Q/F with exponent 0.75 and linear on V/F), CYP3A4 inducers (+30
percent on CL/F), CYP3A4 inhibitors (-7.8 percent on CL/F), serum
albumin < 30 g/L (-16.3 percent on CL/F), alkaline phosphatase >
ULN (-11.7 percent on CL/F), healthy-subject cohort (+15 percent on CL/F
vs cancer patients), and capsule vs tablet formulation (relative
bioavailability 0.896).
|
|
Levetiracetam
(Shin 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for levetiracetam in Korean neonates
with seizures (Shin 2017). Structural parameters (V, CL) reported on a
per-kg-body-weight basis (linear scaling by body weight). Drug
absorption was not modelled because trough-style sampling between 6 and
23 hours after dose did not capture the absorption phase; intravenous
and oral doses are therefore modelled as bolus inputs directly into the
central compartment with bioavailability fixed at 1.
|
|
Levetiracetam
(Wang 2012)
|
One-compartment population PK model for levetiracetam (LEV) in Chinese
pediatric epilepsy patients (Wang 2012). First-order oral absorption and
linear elimination (NONMEM ADVAN2 TRANS2). Body weight is the only
retained covariate; it enters CL/F as a power-style allometric term with
reference weight 25 kg (cohort median).
|
|
Levocetirizine
(Hussein 2005)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and
first-order elimination for orally administered levocetirizine in atopic
young children (12-48 months, 8-20 kg) receiving 0.125 mg/kg twice-daily
levocetirizine (administered as 0.25 mg/kg twice-daily racemic
cetirizine) for 18 months in the ETAC study (Hussein 2005). CL/F and V/F
are linear functions of body weight (CL/F = 0.244 + 0.0442 * WT L/h; V/F
= 0.639 * WT L). The absorption rate constant ka is parameterised as ka
= theta_ka + CL/V to guard against flip-flop kinetics, with theta_ka =
1.140 1/h and CL/V contributing on average less than 5% to ka. Residual
variability is additive with two concentration-dependent magnitudes:
53.5 ng/mL for Cc <= 400 ng/mL and 316 ng/mL for Cc > 400 ng/mL
(the 400 ng/mL threshold was selected by sensitivity analysis and has no
clinical or therapeutic implication). Bioavailability is anchored at F =
1 here; the paper additionally estimated F_noncomp = 0.281 applied to
12% of records flagged as suspected noncompliance and recorded in the
vignette Assumptions and deviations.

Levofloxacin
(Denti 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral levofloxacin in South
African children with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) disease
or exposure (Denti 2018; n = 109; median age 2.1 yr; median weight 12.4
kg). First-order absorption with an absorption lag time, allometric
scaling fixed to 0.75 on CL / Q and 1 on Vc / Vp with the
population-median 12 kg as the reference weight, and a Hill-type
maturation function on CL driven by postmenstrual age (PMAGE_50 = 10.6
mo, gamma = 3.39; PMAGE = postnatal age + 9 mo assuming term gestation).
Covariate effects: HIV-positive children have 15.9% lower CL;
nasogastric-tube (NGT) administration shortens the absorption lag time
by 85.6% relative to the oral reference. F is fixed at 1; the additive
residual error is fixed at 20% of the LLOQ (0.0160 mg/L).

Levofloxacin
rat (Hurtado 2014)
|
Preclinical (rat). Three-compartment population PK model for unbound
levofloxacin in plasma and prostate interstitial fluid in male Wistar
rats after a single 7 mg/kg IV bolus, with simultaneous fitting of total
plasma concentrations (central, Vc) and free prostate ISF concentrations
measured by microdialysis (effect compartment, apparent volume V3* =
V_prostate / fu_prostate). Prostate kinetics are asymmetric: uptake from
central is first-order (k13), efflux back to central combines a linear
first-order term (k31) with a saturable Michaelis-Menten efflux (Vmax,
kM) consistent with active transporter involvement. The standard central
<-> peripheral1 disposition uses macro-constants CL, Q, Vc, Vp
(Hurtado 2014).

Two-compartment population PK model with concentration-dependent
(saturable) binding of linagliptin to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 in both
central and peripheral compartments, coupled with a population sigmoid
Emax PK/PD model relating total linagliptin plasma concentration to
plasma DPP-4 activity, in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (Retlich

Linagliptin
(Tadayasu 2014)
|
Two-compartment target-mediated drug disposition population PK model for
linagliptin with quasi-equilibrium concentration-dependent binding to
DPP-4 in both the central and peripheral compartments, coupled with an

= Emax * Cbound/BMAX in the central compartment), in Japanese patients
with type 2 diabetes mellitus (Tadayasu 2014 Table 3).

Linezolid
(Schmidt 2009)
|
In vitro (Staphylococcus aureus MRSA strain OC2878). Mechanism-based PD
model of bacterial-killing time-kill curves for linezolid, the
first-in-class FDA-approved oxazolidinone (Schmidt 2009).
Susceptibility-based two-subpopulation structure: an active
self-replicating susceptible pool with logistic carrying-capacity limit
and a dormant persister pool that is insusceptible to killing;
first-order S->P conversion (P->S held fixed at 0), natural-death
loss from both pools, exponential turn-on of growth and of drug-induced
killing, and Emax killing of the susceptible subpopulation by the
antibiotic. Linezolid was experimentally stable over 24 h so the
published model carries kdeg = 0; for dynamic syringe-replacement
experiments the user supplies the dilution-equivalent rate (~log(2)/5
1/h for a t1/2 ~ 5 h linezolid regimen) via rxSolve(…, params = c(kdeg =
…)). The same joint fit is shared with Schmidt_2009_rwj416457 (only EC50
and kdeg differ).
|
|
Linezolid
(Tsuji 2017)
|
Population PK/PD model for linezolid in hospitalized adult and pediatric
patients with MRSA or gram-positive cocci infections (Tsuji 2017). PK is
a two-compartment model with first-order oral absorption and an additive
renal-plus-non-renal clearance structure (CL = CL_nonren + CL_renal *
RF, where RF = CrCl / 100 mL/min/70 kg standardized to 70 kg by
allometry); plasma total and unbound concentrations are modelled
simultaneously with an estimated fraction-unbound (FU = 0.823) linking
the two. PD is a Friberg-style semi-mechanistic platelet turnover model
(one proliferating compartment, three transit compartments, one
circulating compartment) with an empirical (PLTZERO/PLT)^gamma feedback
term and a published mixture model of two thrombocytopenia mechanisms:
linear inhibition of platelet synthesis (PDI, 97% of patients, SLOPE on
RFORM) and saturable stimulation of platelet elimination (PDS, 3% of
patients, Emax on Kcirc), selected per subject by the binary covariate
MIX_PDI.

Lopinavir
(Archary 2018)
|

|
|
Lopinavir
(Jullien 2006)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral lopinavir (boosted with
ritonavir) in HIV-infected children from birth to 18 years, with the
absorption and elimination rate constants constrained to a single shared
rate constant k = CL/F divided by V/F (Jullien 2006, simplified
parameterisation per Wahlby 2002). Body weight is allometrically scaled
on CL/F and V/F (reference 27 kg), nevirapine coadministration increases
CL/F by 34%, and male sex increases CL/F by 39% in children older than
12 years.

Lopinavir
placental (Fauchet 2015)
|
One-compartment first-order-absorption population PK model for total
lopinavir in HIV-infected pregnant and nonpregnant women with a
maternal-to-fetal effect-compartment placental-transfer chain and a
downstream fetal-to-amniotic-fluid distribution-and-elimination chain; a
39% pregnancy effect is applied multiplicatively to apparent maternal CL
(Fauchet 2015 MFLA submodel).

Lopinavir
unbound (Fauchet 2015)
|
One-compartment first-order-absorption population PK model for lopinavir
in HIV-infected pregnant and nonpregnant women parameterised on the
unbound fraction, with total LPV reconstructed from a linear HSA binding
term plus a saturable single-site AAG binding term (Fauchet 2015 unbound
submodel).

Lumefantrine
(Hietala 2010)
|
Population PK model for oral lumefantrine (LUM) in 50 Tanzanian children
(ages 1-10 years, weights 8-30 kg) with uncomplicated Plasmodium
falciparum malaria treated with the standard six-dose weight-based
Coartem (artemether 20 mg + lumefantrine 120 mg per tablet) regimen at
0, 8, 24, 36, 48, and 60 hours (Hietala 2010). One-compartment
disposition with first-order absorption preceded by an absorption lag
time. The paper tested co-administration with full-fat (3.4%) cow’s milk
as a categorical covariate on the PK parameters of LUM; the effect did
not improve the model fit and is not encoded here (Discussion: ‘the
resulting number of doses actually administered with an adequate amount
of milk may have been too small to allow the detection of a
difference’). All PK parameters are reported per kg body weight (linear
weight normalisation applied inside model()).

Lumefantrine
(Kloprogge 2013)
|
Population PK model for oral lumefantrine in pregnant and non-pregnant
women with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Uganda after
the standard fixed-dose oral artemether-lumefantrine treatment
(Kloprogge 2013). Flexible five-compartment transit absorption chain
into a two-compartment disposition model with relative bioavailability
F1 fixed at 1, log-normal IIV on CL / Vp / MTT / F, and covariate
effects of pregnancy on intercompartmental clearance (-36.5%,
categorical) and body temperature on mean absorption transit time
(+16.5% per degC over 36.0-39.8 degC, linear-deviation centered at the
cohort median 36.9 degC).

Population PK model for oral lumefantrine in 1,347 patients (children,
non-pregnant adults, and second-/third-trimester pregnant women) from 26
studies in 12 African, Oceanian, and Southeast Asian countries with
uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria treated with the standard
fixed-dose artemether-lumefantrine regimen (Kloprogge 2018 PLOS
Medicine). Two-compartment disposition with first-order absorption; F
fixed at 1 with log-normal IIV (Box-Cox shape -0.343 on the F IIV
departure from log-normal not reproduced here – see Errata); allometric
scaling of CL/F and Q/F (power 3/4) and of Vc/F and Vp/F (power 1) on
body weight centered at the model-building median 42 kg; dose-saturable
absorption on F with Dose50 = 3.86 mg/kg; exponential effect of log10
admission parasitaemia on F centered at log10(15,800/uL) = 4.2
(coefficient -0.643 per log10 unit); proportional pregnancy effect on ka
(+35.2% in second and third trimester). IIV on Vc/F (CV 144%) and F (CV
70.3%); additive log-scale residual SD 0.323.

Lumefantrine
(Simpson 2013)
|
In vitro (P. falciparum). Sigmoid Emax inhibition model of lumefantrine
effect on hypoxanthine uptake by clinical Plasmodium falciparum isolates
from the Thai-Myanmar border (Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, 1993-2005),
with pfmdr1 genotype covariate effects on EC50. The ‘subject’ in the
NLME framework is a parasite isolate (n=324 isolates with lumefantrine
data). STIM_LUMEFANTRINE_NM is the per-well drug concentration in the in
vitro hypoxanthine-uptake-inhibition assay; the model has no PK and no
time evolution. E0 and Emax are fixed per Simpson 2013 Table 3 footnote.

Lumiracoxib
rat (VasquezBahena 2009)
|
Preclinical (rat). Two-compartment population PK plus indirect-response
PK/PD model for the antinociceptive effect of oral lumiracoxib in
carrageenan-induced thermal hyperalgesia in female Wistar rats
(Vasquez-Bahena 2009). PK: first-order absorption with lag time and
dose-dependent relative bioavailability. PD: time-variant (gamma
function) carrageenan-induced COX-2 synthesis with first-order COX-2
degradation; lumiracoxib reversibly inactivates COX-2 via a competitive
binding model (COX-2_act = KD * COX-2 / (KD + Cp)). The level of
inflammatory mediators (MED) equals the active COX-2 amount and drives
the paw withdrawal latency response LT = LT0 / (1 + MED).

|
Lumiracoxib
rat (VelezdeMendizabal 2012)
|
Preclinical (rat). Semi-mechanistic PD model of the formalin-induced
antinociceptive response to lumiracoxib in adult female Wistar rats
(Velez de Mendizabal 2012). No PK measurements were made: lumiracoxib
was tracked through two virtual compartments – intraplantar local
(lumxLocal) and intrathecal central (lumxCns) – each decaying
monoexponentially at first-order rates K_D_Local and K_D_CNS from a
bolus equal to the administered dose (10, 30, 100, or 300 ug per route).
The biphasic formalin-induced nociceptive response (flinch count per
1-min window) is modeled as the sum of an early phase PN1, a
monoexponential decay from an initial pain load PN1_0 with rate K_PN1
(insensitive to lumiracoxib), and a delayed phase PN2 built from
upregulated COX-2 in the local and CNS compartments. Both COX-2 species
are taken proportional to a pain-mediator signal MED whose time course
is the analytical Erlang-transit kernel of Savic 2007 (MED0 = 1; chain
length NC = 6.5; transit rate K_TR = 0.233 min^-1), and the
proportionality constants theta_COX2_L / theta_COX2_CNS scale MED to
flinch units in the local and CNS arms respectively. Lumiracoxib
inhibits upregulated COX-2 in each arm via E = 1 / (1 + LUMX) with an
implicit IC50 of one dose unit (an IC50 parameter was tested and found
not significant). Model is the second-pass selection (Table I of Velez
de Mendizabal 2012); the IC50, delayed-COX-2, and Emax variants were
rejected during model development.

Luspatercept
(Chen 2020)
|
One-compartment population PK model for luspatercept (activin receptor
type IIB / IgG1 Fc-fusion) in adults with anemia due to myelodysplastic
syndromes (Chen 2020), with first-order subcutaneous absorption,
first-order linear elimination parameterised in CL/F and V1/F, body
weight + age + baseline albumin power covariates on CL/F, and body
weight + baseline albumin power covariates on V1/F.

M3g
rat (Xie 2000)
|
Preclinical (rat, male Sprague-Dawley). Blood-brain barrier (BBB)
distributional model for morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) in rat as
published by Xie et al. (2000, Br J Pharmacol): a one-compartment plasma
PK driven by an unbound systemic clearance CL_u = 3.8 mL/min from the
paper’s Model A, coupled to a two-compartment brain model (brain 1 =
sampled brain extracellular fluid via striatal microdialysis, brain 2 =
deeper redistribution compartment) with asymmetric BBB exchange
(separate unbound influx CL_u,in and efflux CL_u,out across the BBB) and
a symmetric intercompartmental clearance Q_br between the two brain
compartments. The model captures a probenecid-sensitive organic-anion
transport contribution to BBB influx: CL_u,in is 1.55-fold higher under
co-administered probenecid (CONMED_PROBENECID = 1) while CL_u,out, Q_br,
and the two brain volumes are unchanged.

Mefloquine
(Hoglund 2018)
|
Population PK model for oral mefloquine in Burmese adults with
uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria treated with the standard
3-day artesunate-mefloquine combination (Hoglund 2018).
One-transit-compartment absorption with ka = ktr feeds a two-compartment
disposition model. No covariates were retained in the final model:
body-weight allometric scaling (fixed exponents 0.75 / 1.0), sex,
admission parasitaemia, and validated molecular markers of mefloquine
and artemisinin resistance (pfmdr1, pfcrt, atp6, pfk13) were tested in a
step-wise covariate search but did not significantly improve the model.
Relative bioavailability F is implicitly 1 (the paper tested adding an
estimated F with IIV and excluded it from the final model). NONMEM
additive residual error on the log-transformed observation is encoded
here as a proportional residual in the linear concentration space.

In vitro (P. falciparum). Sigmoid Emax inhibition model of mefloquine
effect on hypoxanthine uptake by clinical Plasmodium falciparum isolates
from the Thai-Myanmar border (Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, 1993-2005),
with pfmdr1 genotype covariate effects on EC50. The ‘subject’ in the
NLME framework is a parasite isolate (n=460 isolates with mefloquine
data). STIM_MEFLOQUINE_NM is the per-well drug concentration in the in
vitro hypoxanthine-uptake-inhibition assay; the model has no PK and no
time evolution. E0 and Emax are fixed per Simpson 2013 Table 3 footnote.

Meropenem
(Bergen 2017)
|
In vitro (hollow-fiber infection model). Mechanism-based PK/PD
(life-cycle growth) model of meropenem bacterial killing and resistance
against Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1280 (meropenem MIC 0.25 mg/L) across
simulated critically ill patient renal-function profiles (augmented
renal clearance, normal, and impaired). The bacterial population is
split into three pre-existing subpopulations of decreasing meropenem
susceptibility (susceptible, intermediate, resistant), each described by
two states (state 1 preparing for replication, state 2 immediately
before replication; six bacterial compartments total). Meropenem acts
via inhibition of successful bacterial replication (a Hill-type Inh_Rep
function per subpopulation; no direct killing term). The intermediate
and resistant subpopulations have higher IC50_Rep and steeper or
shallower Hill coefficients than the susceptible subpopulation; the
susceptible subpopulation has Imax_Rep and Hill fixed to 1. Meropenem
disposition in the HFIM is a fixed-half-life first-order decline
parameterised from the upstream popPK model (Mattioli 2016, reference 20
in the source paper); the default half-life is 1.1 h (normal renal
function); 0.6 h (augmented renal clearance) and 4.0 h (impaired renal
function) are obtained by overriding thalf_mem at simulation time. No
patient covariates and no random effects: this is the typical-value MBM
fit (Bergen 2017 Table 3) to the simultaneous P. aeruginosa 1280 HFIM
data across the three renal-function scenarios and four dosing regimens
(2, 1, or 0.5 g q8h plus 1 g q12h for impaired).

Meropenem
(Germovsek 2018)
|
One-compartment plasma + CSF (two-state) IV population PK model for
meropenem in neonates and young infants (<=90 days) with late-onset
sepsis and/or meningitis (Germovsek 2018; NeoMero-1 and NeoMero-2
studies). Plasma CL and Vc are allometrically scaled to body weight
(fixed exponent 0.632 on CL, 1.0 on Vc) with a fixed Rhodin-style
postmenstrual-age maturation Hill function on CL and a power covariate
of (CREAT_REF / CREAT) on CL; an additional CSF compartment with fixed
Vcsf = 0.15 L/70 kg and estimated inter-compartmental clearance CL_CSF
carries a logit-scale CSF penetration fraction (typical 8.4 %) modulated
by CSF total protein concentration.

|
Meropenem
(Hanberg 2018)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for meropenem in critically ill
adults receiving venovenous or venoarterial extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO) treatment, with simultaneous fitting of plasma
concentrations (central compartment Ac/Vc) and free subcutaneous
adipose-tissue (SCT) concentrations sampled by microdialysis (peripheral
compartment Ap/Vp scaled by an estimated fraction unbound in tissue
f_u,tissue = 0.79). Elimination clearance is a direct linear function of
the patient’s estimated creatinine clearance (eCLCr, Cockcroft-Gault,
raw mL/min) via CL_i = CLfrac * eCLCr_i with CLfrac = 0.0460 L/h per
(mL/min); 9 of 10 patients were also on continuous renal replacement
therapy so eCLCr partly reflects the CRRT contribution (Hanberg 2018).

Meropenem
(Shekar 2014)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for meropenem in critically ill
adult patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and

Metformin
(Choi 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral metformin in 36 healthy
adult Korean men from a phase I single-dose 2-way crossover
bioequivalence study comparing a single-agent metformin tablet against a
metformin-containing fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet (Choi 2018).
The absorption process is parallel mixed-input: fraction F1 of the dose
is absorbed first-order from the depot compartment (rate Ka), and
fraction (1-F1) is absorbed zero-order directly into the central
compartment over duration D2 with lag time ALAG2. Formulation enters as
a binary covariate (FORM_FDC) with multiplicative power-style effects on
Ka (Ka_FDC = 0.83 * Ka_single-agent) and on relative bioavailability F
(F_FDC = 0.94 * F_single-agent = 0.94). IIV on CL/F, Vc/F (correlated,
rho 0.225), and Ka; proportional residual error only.

Metformin
(vanRongen 2018)

One-compartment population PK model for oral metformin in 22 overweight
and obese Caucasian adolescents (van Rongen 2018). First-order
absorption into a single central compartment with apparent oral
clearance (CL/F) and apparent oral volume of distribution (V/F). Total
body weight (TBW) enters linearly on CL/F with reference 75.8 kg (study
median): CL/F = 1.17 * (1 + 0.0138 * (TBW - 75.8)) L/min. Proportional
residual error; IIV on CL/F, V/F, and ka.

Methotrexate
(Ruhs 2012)
|
PK/PD model of methotrexate (MTX) and homocysteine (HCY) after high-dose
MTX treatment in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ruhs 2012).
Two-compartment IV PK for MTX with linear BSA scaling on CL, V1, Q, V2
(theta values reported per m^2 BSA in the paper) and a power effect of
the age- and gender-adjusted serum creatinine ratio (CREAT_REF / CREAT)
on CL (Eq. 1); coupled to a single-compartment indirect response model
for HCY where MTX inhibits the HCY elimination rate kout via an inverse
Emax function (Emax fixed to 1) and the typical HCY baseline depends
linearly on age. IOV reported in the paper on CL (17.15% CV) and HCYBL
(23.83% CV) across the window and four consolidation HDMTX
administrations is not encoded in the model file (only between-subject
IIV is carried).

Methotrexate
(Taylor 2020)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for intravenous high-dose
methotrexate (5 or 8 g/m^2 over 24 h IV infusion) in pediatric NOPHO
ALL2000 / ALL2008 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia;
BSA-normalized PK parameters (reference 1.73 m^2) and a time-varying
serum creatinine power effect on clearance (reference 29 umol/L)
implemented as the default population PK model behind the MTXPK.org
clinical decision support tool (Taylor 2020)

Methylphenidate
(Teuscher 2015)
|
Pediatric population PK model for methylphenidate hydrochloride
extended-release multilayer beads (MPH-MLR, Aptensio XR) after a single
oral dose, parameterized as a two-input, one-compartment,
first-order-elimination structure: a fast-release (IR) depot delivers a
fraction F1 of dose with first-order absorption rate Ka1, a slow-release
(ER) depot delivers the remaining 1 - F1 with first-order rate Ka2 after
an absorption lag tlag, and the central compartment eliminates linearly
via clearance CL and apparent volume V. Body weight enters CL via a
power covariate CL = CL_TV * WT^theta (Eq 4). Between-individual
variability is retained on CL and V; IIV on Ka1, Ka2, F1, and tlag was
not in the final pediatric fit (Table 1). The companion
exposure-response analysis maps simulated Cmax to change-from-baseline
ADHD-RS-IV total score via the Emax model E = Emax * Cmax / (EC50 +
Cmax) with Emax = -34.96 and EC50 = 5.77 ng/mL (Table 2); the PD step
lives outside the ODE system because the published mapping uses a
per-period Cmax, not the instantaneous central concentration. The
vignette reproduces the full PK simulation, NCA, and Cmax-to-ADHD-RS-IV
exposure-response.

Metoprolol
(Eugene 2016)

Metronidazole
(CohenWolkowiez 2012)
|
One-compartment IV population PK model for metronidazole in preterm
infants (Cohen-Wolkowiez 2012). Clearance scales linearly with body

MHD
rat (Clinckers 2008)
|
Preclinical (rat). Population PK model for 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy-
carbamazepine (MHD), the active metabolite of oxcarbazepine, in male
Wistar rat plasma and hippocampal extracellular fluid (Clinckers 2008).
One-compartment central disposition (V2) with combined zero-order
(fraction F1 of dose over duration D2) and lagged first-order (1 - F1,
ka with lag ALAG1) absorption after intraperitoneal bolus, coupled to a
biophase / effect compartment (V3) reached via inter-compartmental rate
constants k23 and k32. Acute focal pilocarpine-induced seizure activity
and local intrahippocampal verapamil (efflux-transporter blockade) each
shrink the biophase volume (V3a -> V3b under seizure; V3a -> V3c
under verapamil); plasma kinetics are unaffected.

MI
219 (Zou 2012)
|
Predicted-human two-compartment IV PK model for MI-219 (a small-molecule
HDM2/p53 inhibitor) in adults, with parameters projected from
NONMEM-based interspecies allometric scaling of single-dose IV plasma
profiles in rats (5 mg/kg), beagle dogs (2 mg/kg), and cynomolgus
monkeys (10 mg/kg). Linear elimination from the central compartment;
mouse data were excluded from the joint NONMEM fit because the mouse
profile was not superimposable on the other species under Wajima /
Dedrick normalisation. The model file encodes the predicted human
typical values at a 70 kg reference body weight (Zou 2012 Table 5,
NONMEM column).

Micafungin
(Martial 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for IV micafungin in adult
intensive-care-unit patients with suspected or proven fungal infection
(Martial 2017). Body-weight allometric scaling (fixed exponents 0.75 on
CL and Q, 1 on V1 and V2; 70 kg reference), log-normal IIV on CL and V1
(encoded as diagonal; the source reports a qualitative non-zero
correlation but no numerical covariance), and a proportional residual
error. No covariates were retained in the final model (only weight via
the a-priori allometric structure).

|
Midazolam
(Brill 2014)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for midazolam with two equalized
peripheral volumes and a three-transit-compartment first-order oral
absorption chain (Ka = Ktr), supporting oral and intravenous dosing, in
20 morbidly obese patients (mean total body weight 144 kg, range
112-186; mean BMI 47, range 40-68) and 12 non-obese healthy volunteers
(mean total body weight 76 kg, mean BMI 22). Total body weight enters as
a linear covariate on central volume (reference 127 kg) and a power
covariate on peripheral volume (reference 127 kg); morbid-obesity status
(BMI > 40) shifts oral bioavailability up and the transit absorption
rate down.
|
|
Midazolam
(Janssen 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for intravenous midazolam used as a
CYP3A metabolic-phenotyping probe in 10 men with metastatic
castration-resistant prostate cancer (Janssen 2017 Table 2A). Each
patient received a single 2.5 mg IV midazolam bolus 1-7 days before
their scheduled cabazitaxel infusion; the empirical Bayes estimates of
individual midazolam clearance from this fit are then used as covariate
input to the companion Janssen 2017 cabazitaxel model (see
modellib(‘Janssen_2017_cabazitaxel’)).
|
|
Midazolam
(vanRongen 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for midazolam in 19 obese
adolescents (12-18.9 years, total body weight 62-149.8 kg, BMI 24.8-55
kg/m^2) and 20 morbidly obese adults (26-57 years, total body weight
112.3-186.3 kg, BMI 39.9-67.6 kg/m^2), with a five-transit-compartment
first-order oral absorption chain (Ka = Ktr) supporting oral and
intravenous dosing (van Rongen 2017 Final model, Table 2). Study
population (adolescent vs morbidly obese adult) separates clearance into
two cohort-specific values (CL_104.7 kg in adolescents with an estimated
TBW power on top, CL fixed-across-WT in morbidly obese adults). The same
V_141.8 kg central value of the peripheral compartment is shared between
cohorts but TBW power scaling applies only to morbidly obese adults.
Central volume, inter-compartmental clearance Q, transit-absorption rate
Ka = Ktr, and oral bioavailability F are shared across both cohorts.
Oral data were collected only in morbidly obese adults; adolescents
received only IV bolus doses.

Midazolam
pbpk (Brussee 2018)
|
PBPK (semi-physiological; well-stirred liver + Qgut gut wall) population
PK model for midazolam and its primary metabolite 1-OH-midazolam in 37
preterm neonates (gestational age 26-34 weeks, body weight 0.770-2.030
kg at the time of dosing). Distinguishes first-pass CYP3A-mediated
metabolism in the gut wall (Qgut model) and liver (well-stirred model)
from systemic hepatic elimination of the metabolite. Tissue volumes
(V_h, V_pv, V_gw) and hepatic blood flow Q_h are allometrically scaled
from a term-neonate reference (Bjorkman 2005) by body weight with fixed
exponents (1 for volumes, 0.75 for flow); intestinal length scales as
2.736 * WT[g]^0.512 cm (Struijs 2009) so the Qgut hybrid flow varies
with body size. Supports oral administration (depot, full first-pass
through gut wall and liver) and IV (dose directly to central; no
first-pass).

Miltefosine
(Dorlo 2008)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption and
linear elimination for miltefosine in 31 Dutch military personnel with
Old World (Leishmania major) cutaneous leishmaniasis contracted in
Afghanistan (Dorlo 2008), treated with oral miltefosine 50 mg three
times daily (150 mg/day, median 1.76 mg/kg/day) for 28 days with
post-treatment follow-up to a maximum of 202 days. CL/F, Vc/F, Q/F, and
Vp/F are estimated apparent parameters; relative bioavailability F is
unidentifiable from oral-only data and is structurally fixed at 1.
Inter-individual variability is log-normal on ka, CL/F, and Vc/F
(diagonal in this implementation; see Assumptions in the vignette for
the unreported CL/Vc correlation noted by the authors). IIV on Q/F and
Vp/F was not estimable from the data. Residual error is proportional
(31.5% CV). No covariate effects were retained in the final model. This
is the structural model later re-used as the base PK structure in Dorlo
2017 visceral-leishmaniasis miltefosine work.

Miltefosine
(Dorlo 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption for
miltefosine in 95 Eastern African adults and children (>=7 years)
with visceral leishmaniasis (Dorlo 2017), enrolled across three
treatment centres in Kenya and Sudan and randomised to either a 28-day
monotherapy regimen of oral miltefosine 2.5 mg/kg/day or a 10-day oral
miltefosine 2.5 mg/kg/day arm combined with a single 10 mg/kg liposomal
amphotericin B IV dose on day 1. CL/F, Q/F, Vc/F, and Vp/F are
allometrically scaled on fat-free mass (exponents 0.75 and 1.0;
reference FFM 53 kg). Relative bioavailability is structurally fixed at
100% from the end of the initial reduced absorption window onwards, and
reduced by a typical 74.3% during the window itself (0 < t <= 7
days for monotherapy, 0 < t <= 1 day for the combination arm); the
duration is regimen-dependent via the MIL_REGIMEN indicator. The
combined-error residual model is proportional (31.0%) with additive
component fixed at 0.001 ug/mL.

Miridesap
(Sahota 2015)
|
Target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) PK/PD model for CPHPC
(miridesap, GSK2315698, Ro 63-8695) and serum amyloid P (SAP) in healthy
volunteers (study CPH113776) and patients with systemic amyloidosis
(study CPH114527). Two-compartment PK for CPHPC (IV plus first-order
subcutaneous depot); two-compartment turnover model for SAP with
first-order endogenous production and elimination; bimolecular CPHPC +
free SAP -> complex binding treated as effectively irreversible (KOFF
set to zero because the complex internalisation rate is much faster than
the dissociation rate). Final-model covariates (Sahota 2015 Eq. 1 and
Eq. 2): creatinine clearance modifies CPHPC clearance below an 80 mL/min
threshold; hepatic amyloid involvement multiplies SAP intercompartmental
clearance Q4; whole-body amyloid load (categorical 0-3) multiplies SAP
peripheral volume V4 in two cumulative steps; biological sex multiplies
baseline plasma SAP.

Mitoxantrone
human pbpk (An 2012)
|
Human-scaled simulation. Semi-mechanistic whole-body PBPK model 3 for
mitoxantrone (Novantrone) in adult cancer patients after a single 12
mg/m^2 IV bolus, projected forward from the mouse fit in
An_2012_mitoxantrone_mouse_pbpk (An and Morris 2012, AAPS J). Same
topology as the mouse model: seven physiological tissue compartments
(central plasma plus six perfusion-limited well-stirred organs - lung,
heart, spleen, liver, kidney, brain) and a permeability-limited
remainder compartment lumping muscle, fat, bone, and skin and resolving
into an interstitial (is_remainder) and an intracellular (int_remainder)
subspace coupled by a permeability-surface area product. Plasma unbound
fraction fu = 0.2, DNA dissociation constant K_DNA = 0.0013 uM,
protein-binding dissociation constant K_macro = 1.44 uM, and per-organ
T_macro are carried over from the mouse fit as cross-mammalian constants
(paper Methods). Per-organ T_DNA values are replaced with the human
DNA-content literature values reported in Table III: lung and spleen DNA
use the literature rapidly- perfused-organ value (15 uM); brain T_DNA is
the mouse-derived value (0.10 uM); the remainder T_DNA uses the
literature slowly-perfused- organ value (4.5 uM). The remainder
ISF/intracellular split is assumed to follow the mouse proportion 33/67
(Table I) applied to the human remainder volume V_other = 62 L. Hepatic
and renal intrinsic clearances are derived from clinical CL_H = 19
L/h/m^2 and CL_R = 2.7 L/h/m^2 (Ehninger 1990 ref 6) via the
well-stirred rearrangement Clint = Q_H * CL / (fu * Q_H - fu * CL)
yielding Clint_H = 250 L/h and Clint_R = 27 L/h. PS_remainder is
allometrically scaled from the mouse value PS = 1.44 mL/min via PS = A *
M^0.75 (Kawai 1998 ref 28) giving PS = 31.1 L/h. The model is a
typical-value forward simulation; there is no IIV and no residual error
from the paper.

Mitoxantrone
mouse pbpk (An 2012)
|
Preclinical (mouse). Semi-mechanistic whole-body PBPK model 3 for
mitoxantrone (Novantrone) in male ND4 Swiss Webster mice (24-32 g) after
a single 5 mg/kg intravenous bolus (penile vein) (An and Morris 2012,
AAPS J). Seven physiological tissue compartments: central plasma plus
six perfusion-limited well-stirred organs (lung, heart, spleen, liver,
kidney, brain), with a permeability-limited remainder compartment that
lumps muscle, fat, bone, intestine, and skin and resolves into an
interstitial (is_remainder) and an intracellular (int_remainder)
subspace coupled by a permeability- surface area product PS. Hepatic and
renal elimination act on the unbound cellular concentration of liver and
kidney via well-stirred intrinsic clearances Clint_H and Clint_R.
Saturable tissue binding to DNA (capacity T_DNA, affinity K_DNA) and
macromolecular protein (capacity T_macro, affinity K_macro) is encoded
as a Cp-dependent effective tissue:plasma partition coefficient
Kp_eff(Cp) that varies instantaneously with plasma concentration (Eqs.
9-11 of the paper). Plasma unbound fraction is fixed to 0.2; tissue
binding affinities are shared across all organs. The model is intended
for typical- value simulation of mouse plasma and tissue
concentration-time profiles.

Morphine
(deHoogd 2017)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for morphine and its two
glucuronide metabolites (M3G, M6G) in 20 morbidly obese adults
(post-gastric-bypass) and 20 healthy adult volunteers (de Hoogd 2017).
Morphine: three-compartment IV model with total body weight (TBW)
covariate on the second peripheral volume V5M. Non-glucuronide morphine
clearance is structurally fixed at 35% of total morphine CL in a 70-kg
healthy adult. M3G and M6G are each one-compartment models fed by
formation-delay transit chains (n = 5 for M3G, n = 2 for M6G); VM3G =
VM6G is a structural equality. TBW covariates apply to CLF M6G, the M3G
transit rate Ktr, M3G elimination CL, and M6G elimination CL, all
power-form normalised to a reference of 98.5 kg (population median).
Proportional residual error is reported separately for the healthy-
volunteer cohort and the morbidly obese cohort, selected via the binary
indicator DIS_OBESE_MORBID.

Morphine
(Elkomy 2015)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for morphine and its two
glucuronide metabolites M3G and M6G in 20 infants and young children (3
days - 5.4 years; 3.1 - 18.5 kg) after congenital heart surgery (Elkomy
2015 AAPS J). Morphine: linear two- compartment IV disposition with
allometric body-weight scaling (CL and CLD with exponent 0.75 FIXED; VC
and VP with exponent 1.0 FIXED) normalised to a reference of 6 kg (study
median). Each metabolite is modeled as a morphine-driven intermediate
effect compartment (rate constant Kint chasing morphine plasma
concentration via dCint/dt = Kint * (Cc - Cint)) feeding an empirical
Emax transduction where metabolite concentration = Mmax * Cint / (Cint50
+ Cint). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (Schwartz formula) is a
covariate: Kint scales linearly with GFR/70 and Mmax scales as 70/GFR
(both exponents FIXED at +/-1 per the paper’s covariate analysis).
Between-subject random effects on Kint, Mmax, and Cint50 are SHARED
across the M3G and M6G channels (one eta per group; Table II). Doses are
administered as nmol of morphine equivalents (one nmol of clinical
morphine sulfate yields two nmol of free morphine); concentrations are
output in nmol/L (nM) for morphine, M3G, and M6G.

Morphine
(Franken 2015)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for morphine and its two
glucuronide metabolites (M3G, M6G) in 47 terminally ill adult palliative
care patients (Franken 2015). Morphine: two-compartment disposition with
three parallel first-order absorption routes (subcutaneous bolus,
immediate-release oral liquid, controlled-release oral tablet) using
route-specific fixed absorption rate constants; oral bioavailability F
is estimated (SC F assumed 1). M3G and M6G are each one-compartment
models fed by fixed-fraction transformation of morphine clearance (Fm1 =
0.55 for M3G, Fm2 = 0.10 for M6G, both fixed from literature). Morphine
clearance decreases exponentially as time-to-death (TTD, days)
approaches zero. Metabolite clearance depends on estimated glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR, MDRD four-variable formula) and serum albumin via
shared power-form covariate exponents. Residual variability was reported
as additive error on the log-transformed observation (LTBS).

|
Morphine
(Pierre 2017)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for IV morphine and its
primary glucuronide metabolite morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) in 14
healthy adults and 7 patients with biopsy-confirmed nonalcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH) following a single 5 mg morphine sulfate IV
infusion (Pierre 2017). Morphine is described by a three-compartment
disposition (central + two peripherals) with parallel renal (CL_M_R) and
non-renal (CL_M_NR) clearances; the entire non-renal clearance is
assumed to lead to M3G formation via a single liver transit compartment
with first-order rate constant k_trans. M3G is described by a
one-compartment model with a single total clearance (CL_M3G). Cumulative
urinary morphine and M3G amounts are tracked as elimination-amount
compartments. Total body weight enters all CL/Q and V parameters a
priori with fixed allometric exponents (0.75 and 1, respectively)
referenced to 70 kg. The NASH severity score (NASF; combined NAFLD
activity score and fibrosis staging, 0-12) is the only additional
covariate retained in the final model; it acts on M3G clearance through
a linear effect on the natural logarithm of (NASF / 4) for NASF >= 4
and is identically zero for NASF < 4 so that healthy and benign-NAFLD
subjects (NASF < 5) recover the typical CL_M3G.

Moxifloxacin
(Hong 2015)
|
Sequential population PK + PD (QT-interval) model for single-dose oral
moxifloxacin (400 mg or 800 mg, Avelox tablets) in healthy adult Korean
male volunteers (Hong 2015): a two-compartment first-order absorption PK
model with a lag time and a dose-dependent absorption rate constant
(different Ka for 400 mg vs 800 mg), followed by an individually
corrected QT-interval PD model that adds two mixed-effect cosine
circadian components (24 h and 6 h), a first-order-decaying placebo
(water-intake) effect, and an Emax drug effect on QT prolongation.

|
Moxifloxacin
(Landersdorfer 2009)
|
Population PK model for oral moxifloxacin bone penetration
(Landersdorfer 2009): two-compartment plasma disposition with
first-order absorption from a gut depot, plus two paper-mechanistic bone
matrix compartments (cortical and cancellous bone) connected to the
central compartment by fixed transfer rate constants. The bone
tissue:serum equilibrium concentration ratio is captured by the
multiplicative scale terms fcortical and fcancellous on the cortical and
cancellous bone observations. Disposition parameters were MAP-Bayesian
estimated against Simon 1997 priors; bone-penetration scale terms used
noninformative priors. Single 400 mg oral dose in 24 adults undergoing
total hip replacement; serum and femoral bone samples (cortical +
cancellous, head + neck) collected 2 to 7 hours post-dose.

Moxifloxacin
(Nielsen 2011)

(proliferating drug-sensitive S and non-growing drug-insensitive R) with
sigmoidal Emax killing of S via an effect compartment; first-order drug
elimination (ke set per in vitro kinetic-system flow rate);
drug-specific degradation kdeg fixed at zero. Parameter values are from
the combined static and dynamic estimation in Table 3.

MRNA3927
(Attarwala 2023)
|
Preclinical (mouse, rat, cynomolgus monkey; allometrically scalable to
humans). Translational semi-mechanistic PK and PK/PD model for
mRNA-3927, an LNP-encapsulated dual mRNA encoding propionyl-CoA
carboxylase (PCC) subunits PCCA and PCCB. PK: 3-compartment
plasma1-tissue-plasma2 redistribution (V shared between the two plasma
compartments; V and V2 fixed at the mouse reference and scaled
allometrically) with body-weight allometric scaling of clearances (mouse
reference 0.025 kg; estimated exponents cla on CL12/CL32 and clb on
CL23/CL20). PD: liver PCC protein 2-compartment indirect-response model
driven by an effect compartment linked to plasma mRNA, with synthesis
linear in effect-compartment mRNA concentration and first-order
degradation. Three downstream biomarkers (2-methylcitrate,
3-hydroxypropionate, C3/C2 carnitine ratio) follow direct sigmoidal Imax
suppression by liver PCC protein with Imax fixed at 0.999.

Mu
receptor binding (Mann 2022)
|
QSP. Competitive mu-opioid receptor binding kinetics layer of the Mann
2022 translational opioid-overdose model. Tracks the fraction of
receptors bound by an opioid agonist (RL_op) and by an opioid antagonist
(RL_antag) under simultaneous exposure to both ligands. All 12 ligands
characterised by Mann 2022 Supplement 1 Table S2 are carried inline as
fixed parameters (Kon in pM^-n s^-1, Koff in s^-1, slope n unitless);
the OPIOID_ID and ANTAGONIST_ID integer covariates select which ligand
occupies each binding slot at simulation time, so the same compiled
model can simulate any agonist-antagonist pair from the Table-S2 panel
without re- instantiation. Ligand effect-site concentrations enter the
model as the time-varying covariate columns L_OPIOID_pM and
L_ANTAGONIST_pM, typically piped from the PK layer in a composed chain
(e.g., Mann_2022_fentanyl_iv or Mann_2022_carfentanil_iv for the opioid
slot; Laffont_2024_naloxone or Laffont_2024_nalmefene for the antagonist
slot).

Mycophenolic
acid (deWinter 2009)
|
Semi-mechanistic competitive-protein-binding population PK model for
mycophenolic acid (MPA, the active moiety of mycophenolate mofetil MMF)
and its glucuronide metabolite MPAG in adult renal transplant recipients
(de Winter 2009). Free MPA (fMPA) follows a two-compartment disposition
with first-order oral absorption (lag-time TLAG; fixed ka = 4.00 1/h);
free MPAG (fMPAG) follows a one-compartment disposition. Both species
bind competitively to a saturable plasma protein binding pool with
capacity BMAX and species-specific association / dissociation rate
constants k24 / k42 (MPA) and k56 / k65 (MPAG). The fMPAG-to-gallbladder
transport rate constant k57 drives enterohepatic recirculation: fMPAG
accumulates in a gallbladder compartment and empties into the fMPA
central compartment during a fixed window (TGB to TGB+DGB post-dose) at
rate constant k72, completing the EHC loop. Three covariates: a power
effect of creatinine clearance (CRCL) on CL fMPAG (exponent 1.36; CRCL
reference 45 mL/min); a power effect of plasma albumin (ALB) on BMAX
(exponent 1.39; ALB reference 0.5 mmol/L); and a multiplicative
power-form effect of cyclosporine cotreatment (CONMED_CSA) on k57
(multiplier 0.002, reducing EHC by ~99.8% under cyclosporine vs the
tacrolimus reference). Total MPA (tMPA) and total MPAG (tMPAG) plasma
concentrations are reported as the sum of the unbound and bound
concentrations of each species. Dosing is BID by default (tau = 12 h
hardcoded in model() for the gallbladder-emptying window).
Concentrations are in molar units (umol/L) per the source paper’s choice
to analyse MMF / MPA / MPAG on a molar basis (MMF MW 433.5; MPA MW
320.3; MPAG MW 496.5).

Nab
paclitaxel (Chen 2014)
|
Three-compartment population PK with saturable (Michaelis-Menten)
distribution between the central and first peripheral compartments and
saturable elimination from the central compartment, coupled with a
Friberg-style 5-compartment semi-mechanistic PD model for
paclitaxel-induced neutropenia, fit to 150 adult patients with advanced
solid tumors who received nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) 80-375 mg/m^2 as a
30-minute IV infusion (Chen 2014). The first peripheral compartment
exchanges with central via the saturable Vmtr / Kmtr process; the second
peripheral compartment exchanges via linear intercompartmental clearance
Q2. Baseline albumin lowers the maximal elimination rate VMEL via a
power-form covariate; advanced age (>= 65 years) potentiates the
linear Slope of paclitaxel-driven inhibition of the proliferating
neutrophil precursor pool, and baseline albumin also modifies the
baseline ANC via a power-form covariate. PK observation is plasma
paclitaxel concentration (ug/L = ng/mL); PD observation is absolute
neutrophil count (10^9 cells/L).

Naltrexone
bupropion (Sharma 2018)
|
Dose- and time-dependent population pharmacodynamic (DTPD) body-weight
model for the naltrexone/bupropion fixed-dose combination (Contrave) in
obese and overweight adults under lifestyle intervention, based on 4591
subjects pooled from six Contrave clinical trials (placebo and
active-treatment arms). Indirect-response body-weight model with linear
NHANES-derived disease progression, inverse-Bateman
lifestyle-intervention stimulation of body-weight loss (kout), and a
combined Emax dose- and time-dependent inhibitory drug effect; diabetes
(T2DM) and race covariates on key parameters. Does not include the
linked Markov dropout layer (Tr10, Tr01, Tr12, Tr02) of Table 3, and
does not include the PPPD concentration-driven variant (whose underlying
naltrexone/bupropion PopPK model is an unpublished internal Takeda
report).

Naproxen
mbma (Boucher 2018)
|
MBMA. Model-based meta-analysis longitudinal time-course Emax model for
the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) pain score (0-10
scale) in adults with osteoarthritis, fitted to study-arm-mean data from
18 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials of naproxen vs
placebo (12 flare designs, 6 non-flare). The WOMAC pain response over
time follows a three-parameter Emax model in time: pain = E0 + Emax *
time / (ET50 + time), where ET50 is the time to half-maximal effect.
Flare design shifts both baseline E0 and Emax; naproxen treatment shifts
Emax and shortens ET50 (faster onset: ET50 0.21 week vs placebo 0.69
week). Between-study variability is carried as study-arm-level random
effects on E0 (SD 0.62) and Emax (SD 0.74); the residual describes
study-arm-mean variability weighted by each arm’s observed standard
error (sigma fixed to 1). Suitable simulation scope is study-arm-mean
WOMAC pain time-course, NOT individual-patient pain scores. Parameter
values are the NONMEM column of Table 2 (the same model was fit in
NONMEM, BUGS, and R with closely agreeing estimates).

Nevirapine
(Bienczak 2016)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral nevirapine in African
children (Bienczak 2016) with three-transit-compartment absorption,
semi-mechanistic well-stirred hepatic extraction (Gordi-style) splitting
oral bioavailability into a pre-hepatic component FpreH (age-driven
exponential maturation toward an older-child reference fixed to 1) and a
hepatic component FH derived algebraically from intrinsic clearance
CLint via FH = QH / (QH + fu * CLint), allometric scaling of CLint and
Vc to median weight 14.5 kg and of hepatic plasma flow QH to a 70 kg
reference, CYP2B6 516G>T | 983T>C metabolizer-status (EM / IM / SM
/ USM) effects on CLint, and a 29% diurnal-variation cosine on CLint
with zenith at noon.

(rs28399499) genotype and body-weight covariate effects on CL/F.
Covariate effects are additive on linear-scale CL/F per the published
equation.

NicotinicAcid
rat (Ahlstrom 2010)
|
Preclinical (rat). PK/PD feedback model for nicotinic acid (NiAc) and
non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) in male Sprague-Dawley rats following
IV infusions. NiAc disposition is a two-compartment model with two
parallel capacity-limited (Michaelis-Menten) elimination processes
(likely glycine conjugation and amidation) plus endogenous synthesis.
NEFA turnover is described by an inhibitory drug-mechanism function
(Hill-Imax, with Imax fixed at 1) acting on the formation of NEFA,
coupled to a moderator feedback chain of 8 transit compartments
(precursor1..precursor8): the first compartment inhibits NEFA formation
amplified by exponent p and the last compartment stimulates NEFA loss. A
NiAc-independent capillary release rate kcap sets the lower
physiological limit of NEFA in plasma. All structural parameters are
body-weight-normalized (per kg). Parameter values from Ahlstrom 2010
Tables 1 (NiAc PK) and 2 (NEFA PD).

polycystic kidney disease (Castro-Suarez 2020); EGFR binding represented
in both central (Rtot) and peripheral (Rtotp) compartments under

Nisin
amikacin (Landersdorfer 2013)
|
In vitro (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300).
Mechanism-based pharmacodynamic model for nisin plus amikacin in a 48-h
static-concentration time-kill assay (S-ADAPT and NONMEM analyses;
subpopulation synergy concept). Six pre-existing bacterial populations
crossing nisin (susceptible Nis-S, intermediate Nis-I, resistant Nis-R)
with amikacin (susceptible Ami-S, resistant Ami-R) susceptibility, each
following a Bulitta two-state life-cycle growth model (state 1 ->
state 2 -> 2state 1 with replication rate k21 fixed). Nisin kills
with a second-order function (k2Cnis) and amikacin with a
saturating Hill function; a saturating carrying-capacity replication
factor (REP = 2*CFUmax/(CFUmax + CFUall)) caps the population. Nisin-
and amikacin-cross-resistant populations carry reduced biofitness
(multiplicative growth-rate factor fk12). Nisin and amikacin
concentrations are external time-varying inputs (covariates Cnis and
Cami); the model contains no human PK component.
|
|
Nisin
linezolid (Landersdorfer 2013)
|
In vitro (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300).
Mechanism-based pharmacodynamic model for nisin plus linezolid in a 48-h
static-concentration time-kill assay (S-ADAPT and NONMEM analyses;
subpopulation synergy concept). Three pre-existing bacterial populations
(Nis-S/Lin-S, Nis-I/Lin-S, Nis-R/Lin-I), each following a Bulitta
two-state life-cycle growth model. Nisin kills with a second-order
function (k2Cnis); linezolid inhibits protein synthesis (turnover of
a protein pool P), which (i) raises Inh_Rep = 1 - P and therefore
reduces successful replication for the Lin-S populations and (ii)
inhibits the slow state 1 -> state 2 growth-rate transition via a
steep Hill function (Inh_k12) in all three populations. The Nis-R/Lin-I
population has no Inh_Rep effect (only Inh_k12). A saturating
carrying-capacity replication factor (REP = 2CFUmax/(CFUmax +
CFUall)) caps the population. Nisin and linezolid concentrations are
external time-varying inputs (covariates Cnis and Clin); the model
contains no human PK component.

Nutlin3a
(Zhang 2011)
|
Preclinical (mouse). Whole-body PBPK model for nutlin-3a (MDM2
inhibitor) in adult C57BL/6 mice after intravenous and oral
administration (Zhang et al. 2011, DMD). Thirteen physiological tissue
compartments (adipose, adrenal gland, bone marrow, brain, intestine +
lumen, liver, lung, muscle, retina, spleen, vitreous, residual
diffusion-limited tissue + residual vascular space) with arterial and
venous blood pools (75/25 split of total blood volume).
Perfusion-limited tissues use a partition coefficient K_i; the eye is
modelled as retina + vitreous coupled by a permeability-surface-area
product PA_VIT; the residual compartment is diffusion-limited (5%
vascular space, 95% tissue, coupled by PA_RES). Elimination is combined
linear (hepatic, k_e) and saturable Michaelis-Menten (arterial,
V_max/K_m). Oral absorption is first-order from an intestinal lumen
depot. Plasma protein binding is reported (B_max = 286 uM, K_A = 0.085
1/uM, Langmuir form) but is only used for an unbound-concentration
derivation that the paper applies to tissue exposure / IC50 comparisons,
not to the elimination ODEs; the ODE system operates on total
concentrations. The model is intended for typical-value simulation.

|
Two-compartment population PK model of obinutuzumab (GA101,
glycoengineered type II anti-CD20 mAb) in adults with chronic
lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); clearance is
the sum of a time-independent component CL_inf and a mono-exponentially
decaying time-dependent component CL_Texp(-kdestime), with
histology (CLL / BCL / DLBCL / MCL), baseline tumor size, body weight,
and sex as covariates (Gibiansky 2014).

Ofloxacin
(Chigutsa 2012)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral ofloxacin in South African
adults with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) (Chigutsa 2012; n
= 65; pooled Cape Town and Durban cohorts). Savic 2007
transit-compartment absorption chain (number of transit compartments NN
= 6 estimated). Total apparent oral clearance is an additive sum of two
routes: a glomerular-filtration component scaling linearly with
creatinine clearance (CrCl computed by a lean-body-weight modification
of the Cockcroft-Gault equation; reference 68 mL/min), and an
extraglomerular component (active tubular secretion + minor biliary
excretion) allometrically scaled to total body weight (exponent 0.75
fixed, reference 70 kg). Central volume is allometrically scaled to lean
body mass (exponent 1 fixed, reference 46 kg LBM); peripheral volume to
total body weight (exponent 1, reference 70 kg); intercompartmental
clearance to total body weight (exponent 0.75, reference 70 kg). Mean
transit time is 2.4-fold longer when ofloxacin is administered after a
meal (Cape Town cohort, FED = 1) than fasted (Durban cohort, FED = 0). F
is fixed at 1; residual error is combined additive (0.6 mg/L) and
proportional (9.6%).

rat (Johnson 2011)
|
Preclinical (rat). Mechanism-based hybrid physiology-based population
PK-PD model for olanzapine and striatal dopamine D2 receptor occupancy
(D2RO) in rats (Johnson 2011). Plasma PK is a 2-compartment model fitted
across IP, SC, and IV routes in Wistar / Sprague-Dawley rats (single
dose 0.01-40 mg/kg, pooled from 12 studies, n = 283); the absorption
rate constant was not estimable, so all routes deposit drug directly
into the central compartment, and the intraperitoneal bioavailability
FIP is estimated (about 64%) with an 87% CV log-normal IIV. SC and IV
bioavailability are fixed at 1. The brain submodel adds a brain-vascular
compartment (Vbv, fed by cerebral blood flow CLbv from systemic central)
and a brain- extravascular compartment (Vbev, fed across the BBB by an
estimated clearance CLbev applied to the unbound concentration on each
side via fixed fu_plasma and fu_brain). D2 receptor occupancy in
striatum is the reduced model published by the authors (Bmax dropped per
their sensitivity analysis): dRO/dt = kon * Cfree_bev * (1 - RO) - koff
* RO, with kon = koff/Kd and Cfree_bev = fu_brain * (Cbev in nM), so the
binding kinetics are driven by the free brain-extravascular
concentration converted to nM via the olanzapine molecular weight
(312.43 g/mol). All structural parameters are body-weight-normalised
(per kg).

Two-compartment population PK model with linear clearance for olaratumab
in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer (Mo 2018)

|
Olokizumab
(Kretsos 2014)
|
Two-compartment population PK with linear elimination and SC first-order
absorption (depot, central, peripheral1) plus effect-compartment
fractional sigmoid Imax PD model for C-reactive protein (CRP)
suppression in mild-to-moderate rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving
single-dose IV or SC olokizumab (anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody, IgG4,
CDP6038). Final-analysis estimates from Kretsos et al. 2014 Table 1
(Final column), pooling first-in-human (healthy volunteers, Hickling
2011) and first-in-patient (Cohorts 1+2, n=27 active-treatment subjects)
data. The PK observation model adds a per-subject endogenous anti-IL-6
baseline (‘endo’) as an additive offset on the observed OKZ
concentration. Body weight was reported as a significant covariate on CL
and central volume (paper Discussion) but its functional form /
exponents were not reported in main text or supplement; the body-weight
covariate effect is omitted here – see vignette Assumptions.

Olprinone
(Kunisawa 2014)

Two-compartment intravenous population PK model for olprinone (a
phosphodiesterase III inhibitor) in healthy adult Japanese male
volunteers with body-weight normalization on CL, Vc, Q and Vp (Kunisawa
2014)

Omalizumab
(Hayashi 2007)
|
Mechanism-based binding population PK/PD model for omalizumab and IgE in
Japanese atopic-asthma patients (Hayashi 2007). Three serum entities
(free omalizumab, free IgE, and the omalizumab-IgE complex) each carry
their own clearance and volume of distribution and are coupled through
instantaneous-equilibrium binding (law of mass action) with a
concentration-dependent dissociation constant. Body weight modifies
omalizumab CL and Vd; baseline IgE modifies IgE CL and IgE production
rate. Subcutaneous absorption is first-order. Disposition parameters are
reported as apparent (divided by SC bioavailability f). Three observed
quantities: total omalizumab (ug/mL), total IgE (ng/mL), and free IgE
(ng/mL).
|
|
Omalizumab
(Lowe 2009)
|
Mechanism-based binding population PK/PD model for omalizumab and free /
total IgE in 1928 patients (1781 with severe persistent allergic asthma
across four Phase III studies plus 152 healthy atopic volunteers in a
single-dose bioequivalence study; Lowe 2009). Three serum entities (free
omalizumab, free IgE, and the omalizumab-IgE complex) each carry their
own clearance and apparent volume of distribution and are coupled
through instantaneous-equilibrium binding (law of mass action) with a
baseline-IgE-dependent dissociation constant that further varies with
the instantaneous total-omalizumab-to-total-IgE molar ratio. Body weight
modifies all clearances, all volumes, and the IgE production rate via
allometric power covariates centred at 70 kg; baseline IgE modifies CL
of free IgE, IgE production rate, and Kd via power covariates centred at
365 ng/mL. Subcutaneous absorption is first-order. Disposition
parameters are reported as apparent (divided by SC bioavailability f).
Extends Hayashi 2007 (modellib(‘Hayashi_2007_omalizumab’)) with (i) IIV
on Kd, (ii) baseline IgE as a covariate on Kd, and (iii) bodyweight
covariates on the IgE production and clearance parameters. Three
observed quantities: total omalizumab, total IgE, and free IgE (all in
ng/mL).

Omeprazole
(Zhao 2018)
|
Population PK-pharmacogenetic model for oral omeprazole and its two
metabolites 5-hydroxy-omeprazole and omeprazole sulfone in Caucasian
neonates and young infants (Zhao 2018). One-compartment parent
disposition with first-order absorption (Ka modulated by ABCB1 C3435T
genotype) is followed by parallel formation into two one-compartment
metabolites with apparent volume V_M/F fixed to 1 L; the
omeprazole-to-5-hydroxy-omeprazole formation clearance (CLOMZ-M1) is
modulated by CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype (poor / intermediate /
extensive-or-ultrarapid) and a postnatal-age power function, while the
omeprazole-to-omeprazole-sulfone formation clearance (CLOMZ-M2) and the
metabolite apparent eliminations carry no covariates. Linear omeprazole
elimination was estimated as negligible (< 0.0001 L/h) and is
therefore not included in the final structural model.

|
Ondansetron
(deAlwis 1998)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with zero-order intravenous-infusion
input for ondansetron in pooled paediatric, young-adult, elderly, and
aged subjects (de Alwis 1998). The paper uses an empirical additive
linear-regression covariate model in the 1990s NONMEM tradition (Maitre
1991 three-step approach): clearance CL and inter-compartmental
clearance CLd are sex-stratified with separate male and female
intercepts and slopes; the central volume V1 has a body-weight slope
only; the steady-state volume Vss has body-weight and age slopes; the
peripheral volume Vp is derived as Vss - V1. Inter-individual
variability is diagonal log-normal on CL, V1, Vss, and CLd. Proportional
residual error is stratified across five paper-defined study
sub-populations (young healthy volunteers 18-41 y, elderly healthy
volunteers 61-75 y, aged healthy volunteers >= 75 y, paediatric
cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, paediatric patients receiving
general anaesthesia), switched at runtime via the canonical AGE /
DIS_HEALTHY / DIS_CANCER_PED covariates.

Ontamalimab
(Wang 2020)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for ontamalimab (SHP647), a fully
human IgG2 anti-MAdCAM-1 monoclonal antibody, in adults with
moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease (Wang 2020),
with first-order SC absorption, absorption lag time, parallel linear and
Michaelis-Menten elimination from the central compartment, and
allometric weight scaling on CL, Vc, Q, Vp, and Vmax.

|
Ormutivimab
(Zhang 2022)
|
Time-dependent population pharmacodynamic emax model for rabies virus
neutralizing antibody (RVNA) activity after rabies vaccination in
healthy Chinese adults, with a categorical drug-product covariate that
contrasts Ormutivimab (rHRIG, a recombinant human anti-rabies IgG1
monoclonal antibody) against plasma-derived human rabies immunoglobulin
(HRIG) (Zhang 2022). Output Cc is neutralizing antibody activity in
IU/mL measured by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT).
The published Y1 two-compartment PK overlay for the passive-antibody
component of the combined drug+vaccine groups (E = Y1 + Y2) is NOT
included here because the seven structural PK constants (Ka, V1, V2,
K10, K12, K21, C0) are not reported anywhere on disk; see the vignette’s
Assumptions and deviations section for the omitted-component audit
trail.

Oseltamivir
(Kamal 2013)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for oral oseltamivir
(prodrug, OP) and its active metabolite oseltamivir carboxylate (OC) in
390 subjects aged 1 to 78 years pooled from 13 clinical trials (healthy
adults, influenza-inoculated and naturally infected adults, healthy
geriatric subjects, renally impaired adults, and healthy and infected
pediatric subjects 1 to 18 years). Oseltamivir is described by a
two-compartment model with first-order absorption and first-order
conversion to OC (CLp/F treated as the OP-to-OC conversion clearance
under the assumption of complete metabolism; <5% of prodrug is
excreted unchanged renally). OC is described by a one-compartment model
with first-order elimination. All clearance and volume terms are
apparent (conditioned on oral bioavailability F; OC terms additionally
on the fraction metabolized fm, assumed 1). Covariates: body weight as a
power function on OP CLp/F, OC CLm/F, and OC Vcm/F (allometric-style
exponents estimated, not fixed); creatinine clearance (BSA-normalized to
1.73 m^2) as a power function on OC CLm/F; and age as a linear
(additive) term on OC Vcm/F. Inter-individual variability is exponential
on all seven structural parameters, with two off-diagonal covariances
(CLp/F with CLm/F, and Vp/F with Vcm/F). Residual error is proportional
only for oseltamivir (40.5% CV reduced CCV model) and combined additive
plus proportional for OC (14.0% CV proportional + 17.9 ng/mL additive
SD).

Oseltamivir
(Kamal 2015)
|
Mechanistic drug-disease (viral-dynamics) model of influenza-virus
progression and oseltamivir antiviral effect in adults with experimental
and naturally-acquired influenza A (H1N1) virus infection (Kamal 2015).
Builds on the Baccam et al. (2006) target-cell-limited viral-dynamics
framework: uninfected target respiratory epithelial cells (target_cells)
are infected by free virus (virus) at second-order rate beta_inf;
infected cells (infected_cells) produce virus at rate p_prod per cell
per day and die at rate delta_clr; free virus is cleared at rate c_clr.
Oseltamivir inhibits viral production through an inhibitory Hill
function acting on log10(p) (Equation 4 of Kamal 2015), parameterised so
Emax is the maximum log10-fold reduction of p and ED50 is the dose
producing a 2-fold (50%) reduction of p on the linear scale. Dose enters
via the per-record DOSE covariate (mg per administered oseltamivir dose;
0 during placebo or outside the treatment window); no oseltamivir
pharmacokinetics are modelled. Initial conditions are fixed per Baccam
et al. (2006): target_cells(0) = 4e8 epithelial cells (from a 160 cm^2
upper-respiratory-tract surface area and 2e-11 to 4e-11 m^2 per
epithelial cell), infected_cells(0) = 0, and virus(0) = 10^0.25
TCID50/mL (the viral-titer lower limit of quantification, used as the
inoculation viral titer). The viral load viralLoad (TCID50/mL of nasal
wash, canonical PD-output name) is the single observed output with
proportional residual error, equivalent to the paper’s log10-transformed
additive-error model. The three viral-dynamics compartments are declared
paper-specific (see paper_specific_compartments).

Oseltamivir
(Standing 2012)
|
Population PK model for oral oseltamivir and its active metabolite
oseltamivir carboxylate in preterm and term neonates and infants
(Standing 2012). One-compartment parent + one-compartment metabolite
with first-order absorption, an empirical transit compartment delaying
first-pass metabolite appearance, well-stirred-model hepatic first-pass
conversion (FM derived from CLI / liver-blood-flow FQ), and
physiologically scaled clearances combining (WT/70)^0.75 allometry with
a Rhodin 2009 renal-maturation Hill sigmoid on CLU/CLM and a fitted HCE1
Hill sigmoid (PM50 86.1 wk, Hill 3.17) on intrinsic clearance CLI.
Volumes (VD, VDM) and liver blood flow (FQ) fixed from external
references.

Osimertinib
(Brown 2017)
|
Joint two-compartment population PK model for osimertinib (AZD9291) and
its active metabolite AZ5104 in advanced non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) patients pooled with healthy volunteers (Brown 2017).
First-order oral absorption into a parent (osimertinib) compartment is
followed by a second compartment (AZ5104) in series; the fraction of
parent eliminated as AZ5104 is fixed at 0.25 per the publication. Body
weight (allometric on parent CL/F and Vc/F and on AZ5104 CL/F), serum
albumin (power on parent Vc/F), healthy-volunteer disease state (linear
factor on both parent and AZ5104 CL/F), and ethnicity (Chinese,
Japanese, Asian-other, and non-Asian non-Caucasian linear factors on
AZ5104 CL/F) were retained as significant covariates.

Oxaliplatin
(Valenzuela 2011)
|
Population PK/PD model for hyperthermic intraperitoneal oxaliplatin
(HIO) and induced neutropenia in 30 adults with peritoneal
carcinomatosis after cytoreductive surgery (Valenzuela 2011). PK:
peritoneum-as-depot first-order absorption (parameterized in the paper
as peritoneum-to-plasma clearance Qa and peritoneum volume Va = vd, with
ka = Qa/Va as a secondary parameter) feeding an open two-compartment
plasma disposition; bioavailability F was fixed to 1 so Cl/F, Vc/F,
Q2/F, Vp/F are apparent. PD: Friberg semi-mechanistic myelosuppression
chain (one proliferating compartment plus three transit compartments
feeding circulating ANC) with a linear drug effect Edrug = alpha * Cc on
the proliferation rate and a (Circ0/Circ)^gamma feedback amplification;
MTT was fixed at 118 h and the circulating-cell elimination rate
constant kCirc was fixed at 0.07 per h (both from Friberg 2002). No
subject covariates were retained in the final model; ten demographic and
biochemistry covariates were screened graphically and showed no
correlation with PK/PD parameters.

Oxcarbazepine
(Rodrigues 2017)
|
Parent-metabolite population PK model for oral oxcarbazepine (OXC) and
its active monohydroxy derivative (MHD) in epileptic children aged 2-12
years (Rodrigues 2017). Two-compartment OXC + one-compartment MHD with
first-order absorption, complete metabolic conversion (Fm fixed to 1),
reversible MHD-to-OXC back-transformation (KBT), empirical allometric
weight scaling on CL_OXC/F, Vc_OXC/F, CL_MHD/F, and Vc_MHD/F (no scaling
on Q_OXC/F or Vp_OXC/F), and a 29.3% increase in MHD clearance under
concomitant enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs.

Ozanezumab
(Berges 2015)

Two-compartment IV population PK plus effect-compartment sigmoid Emax
PKPD model for the proportion of skeletal-muscle membrane Nogo-A
co-localized with ozanezumab in adults with amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS), based on the GlaxoSmithKline first-in-human study

Ozoralizumab
(Takeuchi 2023)

|
Paclitaxel
(deJonge 2005)
|
Semi-mechanistic population pharmacokinetic model for orally
administered paclitaxel formulated in Cremophor EL (CrEL) and
coadministered with cyclosporin A in adult cancer patients. Free
paclitaxel in the gastrointestinal tract (depot) absorbs first-order
(kabs) into a two-compartment plasma disposition (central + peripheral1;
linear elimination CL/F, volume V/F, intercompartmental clearance Q
derived from the paper’s k23 = Q/Vc and k32 = Q/Vp). A second GI-tract
paclitaxel pool (bound) holds drug encapsulated in CrEL
micelles; the depot <-> bound equilibrium is governed by a single
rate constant keq whose forward binding rate scales with the GI-tract
CrEL amount (cremophor), which itself decays first-order
with rate kcrem. Bioavailability F1 is fixed at 1 with log-normal
between-subject variability; the paper found no dose-dependence in F.
Inter-occasion variability on CL collapses to between-subject
variability in this packaged form because the source dataset’s occasion
column is not encoded – see vignette Assumptions and deviations.

Paracetamol
(Anderson 1998)
|
One-compartment oral PK model for paracetamol (acetaminophen) with an
explicit cerebrospinal-fluid (CSF) equilibration compartment in nine
ventilator-dependent children (5 months to 12 years) with indwelling
ventricular drains for raised intracranial pressure (Anderson 1998
NONMEM fit, Table 3). First-order absorption, single nasogastric dose of
40 mg/kg paracetamol elixir, plasma + CSF sampled hourly for 4 h and
2-hourly through 10 h. CSF concentration follows the plasma
concentration with first-order equilibration rate keq = ln(2)/teq and
steady-state ratio PC = Ccsf/Cc. Parameters are standardized to a 70 kg
adult using fixed allometric exponents (0.75 on CL, 1 on V, 0.25 on the
equilibration half-time teq; keq therefore scales with exponent -0.25).
The published equation 2 for residual error var = SF^2 * (C^PWR + V) is
unconventional and the NONMEM PWR and V terms are not reported;
placeholder additive residual SDs are used so the model simulates
plausibly (see vignette Errata).

|
Paracetamol
(Krekels 2015)
|
Parent-and-metabolites population PK model for intravenous paracetamol
(administered as the prodrug propacetamol; doses expressed as
paracetamol equivalents) and its glucuronide and sulphate phase-II
conjugates in 54 preterm and term neonates and infants (Krekels 2015).
One-compartment plasma disposition for paracetamol with three parallel
elimination pathways from the central compartment: glucuronide formation
(CL_gluc), sulphate formation (CL_sulf), and unchanged renal excretion
(CL_renal). Each metabolite distributes into a one-compartment plasma
space whose volume is fixed at 18% of the parent volume (Vc_gluc =
Vc_sulf = 0.18 * Vc, based on the previously reported adult paracetamol
model in Allegaert et al. and adult literature). The two metabolites
share a common urinary excretion rate constant kE_met = mf * kE_renal,
where kE_renal = CL_renal / Vc is the parent unchanged-renal rate
constant and mf (multiplication factor) is estimated to be 11.3.
Cumulative urinary amounts of parent paracetamol and the two metabolites
are tracked as elimination-amount compartments and exposed as
additive-error observations. Bodyweight enters linearly on Vc (and so on
the metabolite volumes by inheritance), on the glucuronide formation
clearance (CL_gluc), and on the unchanged renal clearance (CL_renal);
the sulphate formation clearance (CL_sulf) scales with bodyweight as a
power with an estimated exponent of 1.40. No postnatal age,
postmenstrual age, sex, term-vs-preterm, or study-protocol covariate was
retained in the final model, and no time-varying (up-regulation)
component was detected on the glucuronidation pathway. Parameter values
reported throughout (mL/min/kg, L/kg) are per-kg quantities; individual
structural parameters are obtained in model() by multiplying by body
weight in kg (linear) or body weight in kg raised to n (power).

|
Paracetamol
(Wattanakul 2016)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for paracetamol (acetaminophen)
administered as a single 600 mg dose by either intramuscular injection
(zero-order absorption over DUR_IM) or oral syrup (first-order
absorption with rate constant ka) in 21 adult Thai patients with
uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria and fever > 38 C
(Wattanakul 2016). Intramuscular bioavailability is fixed to F_IM = 1;
the relative oral bioavailability is F_PO = 0.844 (95% CI 0.682-0.951).
The depot compartment carries oral doses (f(depot) = F_PO) while
intramuscular doses target central with rate = -2 to invoke the modeled
dur(central) = DUR_IM. No covariates were retained: allometric scaling
on body weight did not improve the fit and a stepwise covariate search
(age, AST, ALT, bilirubin, BUN, creatinine, sex, hemoglobin,
parasitaemia, systolic BP, temperature) found no significant effect at p
< 0.05. Inter-individual variability for V_C and DUR_IM was estimated
below 1% CV and fixed to zero in the source paper without changing the
OFV; this model omits the corresponding etas accordingly.

Patritumab
(Lu 2022)
|
Joint two-analyte population PK model for patritumab deruxtecan
(HER3-DXd, an anti-HER3 antibody-drug conjugate) in adults with
HER3-expressing solid tumors (Lu 2022). DXd-conjugated antibody (intact
ADC) is described by a 2-compartment model with parallel linear and
Michaelis-Menten clearance. Released unconjugated DXd (MAAA-1181a,
exatecan-derivative payload) is described by a 1-compartment model with
linear clearance and a first-order, time-dependent release rate driven
by the level of DXd-conjugated antibody in the central compartment,
scaled by the molecular-weight ratio MW_DXd/MW_DXdAb and a
payload-to-intact-drug ratio PIR modulated by a cycle-1-vs-later
(factor1) and a within-cycle exponential (factor2) modifier.

Pazopanib
(Ouerdani 2015)
|
Semi-mechanistic tumour growth and angiogenesis-inhibition (TGI) model
for pazopanib in renal-cell carcinoma patients (Ouerdani 2015 clinical
fit): logistic tumour growth (state tumor_size) limited by a separately
tracked vasculature-determined carrying capacity (state
carrying_capacity), with antiangiogenic and cytotoxic drug effects
parameterised as power functions of per-period mean AUC_PAZO and an
exponentially declining resistance on the cytotoxic effect. The
empirical exponent on capacity growth (n) is fixed at 0.5 for the
clinical fit (vs 1 in the paired mouse model) to better describe the
tumour-regrowth and long-term-antiangiogenic phases observed in
patients.

mouse (Ouerdani 2015)
|
Preclinical (mouse, CB-17 SCID with CAKI-2 renal-cell carcinoma
xenografts). Semi-mechanistic tumour growth and angiogenesis-inhibition
(TGI) model for pazopanib (Ouerdani 2015): logistic tumour growth (state
tumor_size) limited by a separately tracked vasculature-determined
carrying capacity (state carrying_capacity), with an antiangiogenic drug
effect on carrying-capacity loss (power form in AUC_PAZO) and a putative
cytotoxic drug effect on tumour decay (exponentially declining
resistance, no AUC effect after the cytotoxic exponent was fixed to 0).

|
Pegfilgrastim
(Brekkan 2018)
|
Bidirectional population PK/PD model for pegfilgrastim (PG) in healthy
volunteers after single 6 mg subcutaneous doses. PK is one-compartment
with sequential zero- and first-order absorption (zero-order input rate
R1 into depot followed by first-order Ka into central), and parallel
elimination via a linear ANC-dependent pathway (cl_anc * ANC) and a
saturable non-specific Michaelis-Menten pathway (Vmax / Km). PD is a
Friberg/Quartino-style maturation cascade (4 transit compartments +
circulating compartment) with the production rate set by baseline ANC
and a fixed 7-hour circulating neutrophil half-life, plus three Emax
drug effects: proliferation (scaling production), maturation (scaling
transit rate ktr), and a margination effect on circulating-pool
clearance kcirc that is parameterised by scaled Emax,prol and EC50
(Emax,Scale = 0.0622, EC50,Scale = 0.477).

indirect-response (LIDR) model of hemoglobin (1 progenitor compartment +
7 red-blood-cell aging compartments) with a peginesatide Emax
stimulation on progenitor production and an empirical exponential
downward-drift factor on the progenitor-to-RBC transit.

alfa 2a (Bi 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption for
peginterferon alfa-2a in adult patients with chronic hepatitis B (Bi

modifies central volume via a power form. Exponential IIV on CL, V, and
Ka; combined proportional + additive residual error on plasma
concentration.

PF
06939999 (Guo 2022)
|
Population PK/PD model for PF-06939999 (a small-molecule PRMT5
inhibitor) in 28 adults with advanced solid tumors enrolled in the
dose-escalation part of NCT03854227. PK is a two-compartment model with
first-order absorption (CL/F, V1/F, Q/F, V2/F, Ka). Plasma SDMA (the PD
biomarker for PRMT5 inhibition) is modelled by an indirect-response
model with saturable Imax inhibition on zero-order SDMA production
(Kin/Kout), the log-transformed SDMA observation taking an additive
(log-normal) residual error. Platelet count is described by the Friberg
semi-mechanistic myelosuppression model (proliferating cells plus three
transit compartments feeding a circulating compartment) with a linear
drug effect Slope*Cc on the proliferation rate and feedback
(Circ0/circ)^gamma.

PF04236921
(Li 2018)
|
Integrated population PK and indirect-response PK/PD model for the
anti-interleukin-6 monoclonal antibody PF-04236921 in healthy volunteers
and adults with rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or systemic lupus
erythematosus (Li 2018). Two-compartment IV/SC PK with first-order

PF04455242
human (Chang 2011)
|
Two-compartment population PK and reduced direct-response PD model for
PF-04455242 (kappa opioid receptor antagonist) in healthy adult
volunteers (Chang 2011). PK is fit with zero-order oral absorption
(duration D1) and lag time (ALAG1) into the central compartment;
residual error uses the log-transform-both-sides (lognormal) form. PD is
the reduced antagonism model (Eq. 11/12) that replaces the spiradoline
PK with a deterministic Weibull-scaled placebo prolactin profile and
predicts the time-matched prolactin response under PF-04455242
antagonism. Simulation time t = 0 must be aligned with the IM
spiradoline challenge dose; PF-04455242 is dosed earlier (typically t =
-1 h in the proof-of-mechanism study).

PF04455242
rat (Chang 2011)
|
Preclinical (Sprague-Dawley rat). Competitive antagonism PK-PD model of
PF-04455242 (kappa opioid receptor antagonist) on spiradoline-induced
plasma prolactin elevation. One-compartment first-order absorption PK
for both spiradoline (KOR agonist challenge) and PF-04455242, with a
dose-dependent absorption rate constant for PF-04455242 (1.64 /h at 3.2
mg/kg SC, 0.385 /h at 10 mg/kg SC). Direct-response sigmoid Emax PD:
prolactin = baseline + Emax * Csp^gamma / ((EC50 * (1 + Cpf/Ki))^gamma +
Csp^gamma) with competitive antagonism of the spiradoline-induced rise
by PF-04455242. Spiradoline plasma compartments are declared via
paper_specific_compartments rather than registering a new sibling-drug
suffix; see Errata in the vignette for the rationale.

Piperaquine
(Hoglund 2012)
|
Population PK model for oral piperaquine in pregnant and non-pregnant
Sudanese women with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria (Hoglund
2012). Three-transit-compartment absorption (ka = ktr) into a
three-compartment disposition model. Body weight is the only retained
covariate, applied as an allometric function on all clearances (fixed
exponent 0.75) and volumes (fixed exponent 1.0). Relative
bioavailability F is fixed at 1. The final model retains BSV on CL and
F, treats MTT between-occasion variability as forward-simulation IIV,
and uses an additive residual on the log-transformed observation
(proportional in linear concentration space).

|
Piperaquine
(Hoglund 2017)
|
Population PK model for oral piperaquine in adults, children, and
healthy volunteers across 11 pooled clinical studies (Hoglund 2017;
individual-participant-data meta-analysis, n = 728). Two-transit-
compartment absorption with kA = kTR feeding a three-compartment
disposition model. Allometric body weight scaling on all clearances
(fixed exponent 0.75) and volumes (fixed exponent 1.0) with reference
weight 54 kg. Enzyme maturation function on elimination clearance
(Hill-type sigmoid with MF50 = 0.575 y, Hill = 5.51). Dose-occasion
effect adds 23.7% to relative bioavailability per consecutive dose.
Bioavailability anchored at 1 with IIV. Predictions are venous plasma
piperaquine base concentrations (ng/mL); a separately estimated
capillary-to-venous scale of 106% is documented but not applied because
only venous output is simulated.

(Tarning 2008)
|
Population PK model for oral piperaquine in Burmese and Karen adults and
children with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria (Tarning
2008). Two-compartment disposition with first-order absorption (no lag)
and elimination from the central compartment. Body weight is the only
retained covariate: a linear (1 + theta * (WT - 48)) effect on apparent
oral clearance CL/F and on apparent central volume of distribution Vc/F,
centred on the cohort median of 48 kg. The combined three-dose and
four-dose Artekin regimens were pooled; no treatment-regimen effect was

parameters. Residual error is proportional in linear concentration space
(the source paper fit an additive error on natural-log-transformed
concentrations).

pregnant (second / third trimester) and 24 matched non-pregnant women
with uncomplicated malaria treated with the fixed-dose oral
dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine combination once daily for 3 days
(Tarning 2012 AAC). Transit-compartment absorption with 5 fixed transit
compartments (ktr = (n+1)/MTT with n=5); the drug-transit rate is set
equal to the absorption rate from the last transit to central (single
estimated ktr). F fixed at 1; CL/F and F carry proportional pregnancy
effects (+45.0% on CL/F and +46.8% on F). IIV on CL/F (21.5% CV) and
Vc/F (39.5% CV); between-occasion variability (BOV across 3 dose

(Tarning 2014)
|
Population PK model for oral piperaquine in adults with uncomplicated
Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Thailand (Tarning 2014; n = 30, fed vs
fasting parallel design). Three-transit-compartment absorption (ka =

Polatuzumab
(Lu 2019)
|
Integrated two-analyte population PK model of polatuzumab vedotin
(anti-CD79b vc-MMAE antibody-drug conjugate) in adults with non-Hodgkin
lymphoma (Lu 2019). The antibody-conjugated MMAE (acMMAE) is described
by a two-compartment model with three parallel elimination pathways from
the central compartment: a slowly-time-decaying nonspecific linear
clearance (CL_NS, sigmoidal Hill decline with cycle), a rapidly-decaying
linear clearance (CL_t, mono-exponential decline), and a saturable
Michaelis-Menten clearance (CL_MM). All three acMMAE pathways feed
unconjugated MMAE formation in the central MMAE compartment with
relative conversion fractions FRAC_NS, FRAC_NS x FRAC_CLT, and FRAC_NS x
FRAC_MM, modulated by a time-dependent multiplier (1 + FRAC_T x
exp(-alpha x t)) on FRAC_NS that captures the cycle-over-cycle decline
in MMAE formation. Unconjugated MMAE is described by an apparent
two-compartment model with parallel linear (CL_MMAE) and
Michaelis-Menten (Vmax_MMAE / KSS) elimination from its central
compartment. Modeled in MMAE-equivalent micrograms (pola dose in ug/kg x
weight in kg x 3.65 x 718 / 145001 -> MMAE-equivalent ug administered
to the acMMAE central compartment), with concentrations in ng/mL = ug/L.
The Asian-race indicator on acMMAE Vc (e_asian_vc = 0.929, i.e., 7.1%
lower V1 in Asian patients) is retained from the Lu 2019 final model and
was subsequently re-quoted and assessed as not clinically meaningful in
the Shi 2020 ethnicity-sensitivity analysis (PMID 32770353) of the same
upstream popPK model.

distribution into a CSF compartment and a downstream ISF compartment,
explicit second-order binding of free posdinemab to free p217+tau in CSF
and to tau seeds in ISF, internalization of free target and drug-target
complex, and Alzheimer’s-disease-vs-healthy effect on baseline p217+tau.

|
Pravastatin
(Ide 2009)
|
Population PK model for orally administered pravastatin with
enterohepatic circulation (Ide 2009) in healthy Japanese male
volunteers. Absorption is described by an Erlang chain of 8 transit
compartments (N_depot = 8); disposition is one-compartment central with
a gallbladder recirculation compartment whose release is gated by the
gallbladder-emptying time tg (continuous filling from central via k12
for t < tg, gated release to central via k21 for t >= tg)
producing the characteristic second-peak phenomenon. SLCO1B1 *15
haplotype carrier status (paired heterozygote / homozygote indicators)
increases relative oral bioavailability Frel multiplicatively (1.50x and
1.95x respectively). Gastric conversion of pravastatin to its inactive
3’alpha-isopravastatin (RMS-416) is highly variable; the source paper
corrected for this by using an apparent dose (actual dose x Fa, where Fa
= AUCpra / (AUCpra + AUCrms)) as the model input, so the packaged model
fixes the depot bioavailability anchor at the population-mean Fa = 0.571
derived from Table II mean AUC values.

Pregabalin
rat binary (Bender 2009)
|
Preclinical (rat). Two-compartment population PK model for pregabalin in
male Sprague-Dawley rats following a 2 h intravenous infusion (4 or 10
mg/kg/h) in a chronic- constriction-injury (CCI) neuropathic-pain model,
with the concomitant administration of sildenafil encoded as a BINARY
presence indicator (CONMED_SILDENAFIL). Sildenafil presence reduces
pregabalin clearance by a fixed fraction (theta_SLD = 0.302, i.e. 30.2%
reduction) per the paper’s discrete-covariate parameterisation; the
alternative continuous saturable-metabolite parameterisation is encoded
in the companion file Bender_2009_pregabalin_rat_smetab.R. Crossover
design with two occasions per rat (Day 1 / Day 4 with a washout) carries
between-occasion variability on CL and Vc multiplexed by the OCC
indicator. Parameter values from Bender 2009 Table IV (Binary Sildenafil
Covariate column).

Pregabalin
rat smetab (Bender 2009)
|
Preclinical (rat). Two-compartment population PK model for pregabalin in
male Sprague-Dawley rats following a 2 h intravenous infusion (4 or 10
mg/kg/h) in a chronic- constriction-injury (CCI) neuropathic-pain model,
with the concomitant administration of sildenafil encoded as a
CONTINUOUS saturable inhibition driven by the time-varying plasma
concentration of sildenafil’s active N-methyl metabolite (SLDM).
Effective CL = theta_CL * (1 - SLDM / (theta_SLD + SLDM)) with theta_SLD
= 1350 ng/mL acting as the IC50 of metabolite-driven inhibition.
Statistically the preferred parameterisation in the paper (delta-OFV =
-42.6 vs the no-covariate base; the simpler binary form is in the
companion file Bender_2009_pregabalin_rat_binary.R with delta-OFV =
-8.5). Crossover design with two occasions per rat (Day 1 / Day 4 with a
washout) carries between-occasion variability on CL and Vc multiplexed
by the OCC indicator. Parameter values from Bender 2009 Table IV

Propofol
(Diepstraten 2013)
|
Three-compartment intravenous population PK model for propofol in
morbidly obese and nonobese adults, adolescents, and children
(Diepstraten 2013 meta-analysis of five previously published studies; N
= 94 patients, TBW 37-184 kg, age 9-79 years). Final model E in Table 3:
total body weight scales clearance allometrically with an estimated
exponent and scales the slow inter-compartmental clearance Q3 linearly;
age modifies clearance via a bilinear function centered at 41 years with
separate slopes below and above the breakpoint. Inter-individual
variability on CL, V1, V3, and Q3 (log-normal) and proportional
intra-individual error on log-transformed concentrations.

Propofol
(Przybylowski 2015)
|
Three-compartment IV population PK plus effect-compartment sigmoidal
Emax PD model for propofol in adult ASA III cancer patients undergoing
major lung surgery under propofol-fentanyl total intravenous anesthesia
(Przybylowski 2015; N = 23). The PD response is the AAI (A-line
ARX-Index) auditory-evoked-potential depth-of-anesthesia index with the
maximum effect fixed to 1 and the pretreatment baseline fixed to 87 from
a prior study. Inter-individual variability was estimated on Vc, CL, and
the deep-compartment intercompartmental clearance Q2 for PK and on Ce50,
gamma (Hill), and ke0 for PD; IIV on Vt1, Q1, Vt2 was fixed to 0 (data
uninformative). No demographic, biochemical, or hemodynamic covariates
were retained in the final model (Results).

Propofol
(Wang 2012)
|
Three-compartment intravenous population PK model for propofol across
the human life-span (Wang 2012; 174 subjects pooled across seven
previously published studies covering preterm and term neonates,
infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and adults; body weight
0.68-122.7 kg, age 1 day-81 years). Final ‘bodyweight-dependent exponent
(BDE)’ model (Model IV / Final PK model, Table IV): clearance is scaled
by total body weight via a power function whose exponent k changes
sigmoidally with body weight from k0 = 1.34 at a theoretical 0 kg to k0
- kmax = 0.55 at large body weights, with k50 = 3.78 kg and a Hill
coefficient gamma = 5.24 governing the steepness of the decline. The
slow inter-compartmental clearance Q3 and the second peripheral volume
V3 scale linearly with body weight (BW/70); the first peripheral volume
V2 scales as (BW/70)^0.55; the fast inter-compartmental clearance Q2 is
independent of body weight. The central volume V1 = 7.58 L is constant
for subjects with postnatal age >= 100 days and scales linearly as V1
* (BW/70) for younger subjects. Inter-individual variability
(log-normal) was retained on CL, V1, V2, V3, and Q3; no IIV on Q2.
Additive residual error on log-transformed concentrations was used,
equivalent to a proportional error on the linear concentration scale.

Propofol
human (Knibbe 2005)
|
Two-compartment intravenous population PK model for propofol in a 70 kg
adult human, projected from male Wistar rat (0.25 kg) parameters via the
allometric power model with literature exponents 0.75 for clearances and
1 for volumes. Parameter values are taken from Knibbe 2005 Table 3
(column ‘Scaled for humans (70 kg)’); inter- and intra-individual
variability are inherited from the rat fit (Table 3, column ‘Observed in
the rat (250 g)’) per the Methods text ‘these human scaled
pharmacokinetic parameters, together with … intra- and interindividual
variabilities estimated in the rat were used to simulate propofol
concentrations’. The companion file Knibbe_2005_propofol_rat.R carries
the rat-side parameters used as the scaling anchor. Knibbe 2005
demonstrated that concentrations simulated from this scaled-human model
agreed (r^2 = 0.83, P < 0.0001) with concentrations observed in
long-term-sedated critically ill patients (Figure 2).

Propofol
rat (Knibbe 2005)
|
Preclinical (rat). Two-compartment intravenous population PK model for
propofol in male Wistar rats following a single 30 mg/kg bolus delivered
over 5 min, as reported in Table 3 (column ‘Observed in the rat (250
g)’) of Knibbe 2005. The underlying NONMEM fit was performed by Knibbe
et al. (reference 11 of the paper) on 19 whole-blood samples from each
of 22 chronically instrumented rats; Knibbe 2005 reproduces those rat
point estimates and uses them as the species anchor for an allometric
scaling to humans (see the companion model file
Knibbe_2005_propofol_human.R, which carries the human-projected
parameters from Table 3 column ‘Scaled for humans (70 kg)’). Log-normal
inter-individual variability on CL, V1, Q, V2 and a constant-CV
proportional intra-individual residual error model.

Propofol
sheep (Ngamprasertwong 2016)
|
Preclinical (sheep). Maternal-fetal population PK model of propofol in
mid-gestational pregnant Dorset ewes (Ngamprasertwong 2016; N = 8
ewe-fetus pairs at 110-125 days gestation; term ~147-150 days).
Two-compartment maternal disposition (central + peripheral1) linked to a
single fetal compartment via a reversible inter-compartmental clearance
QM-F; fetal clearance was tested but estimated near zero (<0.001
L/min, RSE >100%) and set to zero in the final model. Maternal
clearance scales with heart rate via the normalised power model CL =
theta1 * (HR/158)^theta2; no other covariate (gestational age, body
weight, blood pressure, uterine blood flow) reached statistical
significance. Inter-individual variability was estimated on CL and QM-F;
IIV on Vc, Q, Vp, and VFetus was fixed to zero in the source and is
omitted here. Residual error is purely proportional, with separate
variances for maternal-ewe and fetal observations.

Propranolol
(DelFrari 2018)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral propranolol in infants
(aged 50-243 days, 3.6-9.7 kg) with proliferative Infantile Hemangiomas
(Del Frari 2018). First-order absorption and first-order elimination;
apparent oral clearance CL/F scales with body weight using a fixed
allometric exponent of 0.75 and a reference weight of 6.3 kg (the median
weight pooled across visits D1-D84). Apparent volume V/F has no
covariate effect (the paper tested but did not retain weight on V/F).
Between-subject variability is retained on CL/F and Ka only; BSV on V/F
was dropped from the final model (large 95% CI including 0 and 62.3%
eta-shrinkage). Residual error is proportional.

effect of postnatal age on apparent oral clearance; the companion
logistic-regression PD model relating exposure (AUC), treatment
duration, and gestational age to treatment-success probability is
reproduced in the validation vignette.

(Alsultan 2017)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model with first-order
absorption and first-order elimination for oral pyrazinamide in adults

One-compartment population PK model with Savic-style transit-compartment
absorption (NN = 28) for oral pyrazinamide in HIV/TB-coinfected adults
on the WHO four-drug fixed-dose combination (Chirehwa 2017); fat-free
mass (Janmahasatian formula) drives fixed allometric scaling of CL/F
(exponent 0.75) and V/F (exponent 1.0) referenced to a 42 kg subject,
and CL/F increases linearly by 14.3% from day 1 to day 29 of treatment,
attributed to rifampin-mediated enzyme induction.

Pyrimethamine
(Karunajeewa 2009)
|
Population PK model for pyrimethamine (PYR) in 60 Papua New Guinean
women (30 pregnant, second or third trimester; 30 age-matched
nonpregnant controls) given a single oral 1,500 mg sulfadoxine / 75 mg
pyrimethamine dose for intermittent presumptive treatment of malaria in
pregnancy (Karunajeewa 2009). Two-compartment disposition with
first-order absorption and no lag, fit as a separate NONMEM dataset from
the parent SDOX/NASDOX dataset. Allometric scaling at reference WT = 70
kg is applied to all apparent volumes (exponent 1) and all apparent
clearances (exponent 0.75). Pregnancy is the only retained covariate; it
enters as additive terms on apparent CL/F (+0.439 L/h/70 kg), Vc/F (+76
L/70 kg) and Vp/F (+98 L/70 kg). Between-subject variability on CL/F,
Vc/F and Vp/F is correlated (3x3 block, correlations 0.797 / 0.756 /
0.731 from Table 4); BSV on Q/F and ka is independent. The companion
model for the co-administered sulfadoxine plus its NASDOX metabolite is
shipped as ‘Karunajeewa_2009_sulfadoxine’ (separate NONMEM dataset, fit
independently in the source publication).

Pyronaridine
(Ayyoub 2016)
|
Pooled population PK model of oral pyronaridine in 349 pediatric malaria
patients (0.51-15 years, 6.8-56.2 kg) from one phase II and five phase
III studies of the pyronaridine-artesunate fixed-dose combination
(Pyramax). Two-compartment disposition with first-order absorption and
first-order elimination from the central compartment. Body weight enters
as fixed allometric scaling (exponent 0.75 on CL/F and Q/F, 1.00 on V2/F
and V3/F, centred on a 20 kg reference). Age enters as a power covariate
on the peripheral volume V3/F (exponent 0.624, centred on a 7 yr
reference). Formulation (1 = pediatric granule sachet, 0 = tablet)
increases the absorption rate Ka by 1.63-fold over the tablet baseline.
Residual error is additive on the natural-log concentration scale
(equivalent to proportional in linear space). Dose is encoded as
pyronaridine base in mg (paper Methods: pyronaridine tetraphosphate
doses are multiplied by 0.57 prior to modeling).

Quinidine
(Fattinger 1991)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral quinidine in adults treated
for supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias (Fattinger 1991).
Zero-order absorption from the gastrointestinal tract with
formulation-specific absorption duration: immediate-release quinidine
sulphate (Chinidin sulfuricum) with a typical absorption duration of
1.37 h, and slow-release quinidine bisulphate (Kinidin duriles) with a
typical absorption duration of 6.0 h and a 1.36-fold higher relative
bioavailability versus quinidine sulphate. Apparent total clearance is
the sum of a renal arm proportional to creatinine clearance
(proportionality 0.0566 L/h per mL/min) and a non-renal arm of 12.6 L/h
that is halved to 6.8 L/h in patients with severe heart failure or
severe liver failure. Apparent central volume is 161 L.
Inter-compartmental clearance Q is 12.6 L/h and peripheral volume V2 is
66.7 L. Inter-individual variability is assigned to total clearance
(40.2% CV), central volume (75.6% CV), and the quinidine sulphate
absorption duration (49.4% CV); residual variability is proportional
(22% CV).

Quinine
(Kloprogge 2014)

First-order absorption into a two-compartment disposition model with
allometric body-weight scaling on clearance and intercompartmental
clearance (power 2/3) and on apparent volumes (power 1), centered at the
cohort typical weight of 56 kg. Relative bioavailability F is fixed at 1
with log-normal IIV; a linear covariate effect of time-varying
parasitaemia (per log10 parasites/uL, last-observation-carried-forward)
increases F by 38.9% per log10 parasitaemia, and an exponential effect
of admission body temperature decreases elimination clearance by ~21.6%
per degC (centered at the cohort median 37.2 degC).

Quinine
(LeJouan 2005)
|
Population PK model for oral quinine in Cameroonian children (aged
0.55-6.7 years) with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria (Le
Jouan 2005). One-compartment with first-order absorption, time-varying
free fraction fu = 0.15 + 0.001(t - 36) anchored at the literature
value fu(t=36 h) = 0.15 (Babalola 1989) and clamped to its t = 72 h
value beyond the studied window, and linear-in-body-weight apparent
clearance CL/F = fu 0.53 * WT and apparent volume V/F = fu * (57 +
3.8 * WT). Doses are oral quinine base in mg.

Quinine
rat (Sheng 2016)
|
Preclinical (rat). Two generalized Poisson (2GP) mixture PD model for
bimodal lick-count data from rodent brief-access taste aversion (BATA)
experiments with quinine hydrochloride dihydrate; the drug effect enters
via a sigmoid emax on a logistic-transformed mixing probability between
a low-count and a right-truncated high-count generalized-Poisson
distribution. The fitted compound is quinine HCl dihydrate used as a
model bitter stimulus. STIM_QUININE_MM is the applied sipper-tube
concentration (mM); there is no PK ODE and no time evolution (each
record is an 8-second presentation).

Preclinical (mouse, FaDu head-and-neck xenograft). Tumor growth
inhibition model for combination therapy with ionizing radiation and a
radiosensitizer (linear-quadratic radiation kill with a
damage-compartment transit chain, driven by a one-compartment
radiosensitizer PK).

Raltegravir
(Lee 2016)
|
Population PK model for oral raltegravir (a UGT1A1 phenotyping probe)
and its glucuronide metabolite in 24 East Asian patients with advanced
solid tumours receiving FOLFIRI chemotherapy (Lee 2016). Raltegravir
absorption is described with a depot, a single transit compartment (the
paper estimates a non-integer NN = 1.07 in the Savic 2007 transit-chain
framework; the packaged model approximates this with one explicit
transit compartment), and a one-compartment central compartment with
first-order elimination (CL/F, V/F). Raltegravir glucuronide is
described by a one-compartment metabolite compartment (central_gluc)
with V_GLU fixed at 1 L (a structural identifiability anchor) and a
first-order metabolite clearance CL_GLU. The formation rate constant
kmet maps to the source paper’s FMET, which the authors define as the
formation rate of glucuronide divided by V_GLU; with V_GLU fixed at 1 L,
kmet has units 1/h and drives dA_gluc / dt = kmet * V_GLU *
C_RAL_central - CL_GLU * C_gluc. Bioavailability F is fixed at 1 (single
oral dose; absolute F not identifiable). IIV is reported on CL/F, MTT,
F, V/F, kmet (FMET), and CL_GLU with a single off-diagonal covariance
between CL/F and V/F (correlation 0.567). The residual error was
reported as additive on log-transformed observations for both
raltegravir and glucuronide, which maps to a proportional residual on
the linear-concentration scale. No baseline covariates (age, sex,
weight, body surface area, serum albumin / creatinine / bilirubin /
liver enzymes, ethnicity, or UGT1A1 * 6 / * 28 / * 60 and CYP3A5 * 3
genotypes) were retained in the final model.

|
Raltegravir
(Wang 2011)
|
Population PK model for plasma and intracellular (PBMC) raltegravir
after a single 400 mg oral dose in six healthy male Singaporean
volunteers (Wang 2011). Plasma PK is described by a one-compartment
model with first-order elimination preceded by a chain of two transit
compartments between depot and central (Kappelhoff 2005
transit-absorption parameterisation: MAT = (n + 1) / ktr with n = 2
transit compartments). Bioavailability F is implicit in the apparent
CL/F and V/F. Intracellular (PBMC) raltegravir is described as an
empirical partition of the predicted plasma concentration via the
paper’s accumulation ratio ACR (point estimate 11.2%) with its own
inter-individual variability and exponential residual error (Wang 2011
Eq.: C_IC,obs = ACR * C_plasma,pred * exp(eps_IC)). The packaged model
maps ACR to the canonical paper-named bare parameter frac
and its log-transformed primary lfrac. No baseline
covariates were retained in the final model. Note that the paper’s term
‘accumulation ratio’ is a misnomer in the conventional sense – ACR <
1 means raltegravir does NOT accumulate intracellularly, consistent with
simple diffusion of unbound drug into PBMCs (the authors’ Conclusions).

Raltitrexed
(Blair 2004)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for intravenous raltitrexed
(Tomudex) in adult patients with advanced solid tumours, with
linear-additive covariate effects of Cockcroft-Gault creatinine
clearance on CL and of body weight and serum albumin on central volume
(Blair 2004)

Ranibizumab
(Mulyukov 2018)
|
Indirect-response PK/PD model of intravitreal ranibizumab on
best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, ETDRS letters) in anti-VEGF-naive
adults with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (Mulyukov
2018). BCVA is driven by an indirect-response ODE in which drug
concentration stimulates the BCVA production rate (kin) through a
Michaelis-Menten-like term with a time-dependent maximum effect emax(t)
= emax_ss + demax_0 * exp(-kemax * t). The PK is a fixed first-order
vitreous-elimination placeholder (kel = 0.077/day, vitreous volume = 4
mL, no IIV) borrowed from a previous population PK analysis (reference
20 of the paper) because vitreous PK data were not collected in the
development studies.

Remifentanil
(Yang 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for continuous intravenous
remifentanil infusion in critically ill adults receiving venoarterial
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), with sex and
centrifugal-pump rotational speed as covariates on clearance (Yang
2017).

Respiratory
physiology (Mann 2022)
|
QSP. Magosso / Ursino respiratory and cerebrovascular physiology with
Mann 2022 extensions for opioid-induced ventilatory depression and
cardiovascular-collapse / cardiac-arrest dynamics. Encodes the 11-state
physiological submodel from the FDA delaymymod.c implementation, plus
the cardiac-arrest event rule (PaO2 below 15 mm Hg sustained 220 s ->
cardiac output decays toward 0.01 L/min). The CAR (fraction of opioid
receptors bound by an agonist) input drives reductions in wakefulness
drive (W - Wmax * CAR^P3) and chemoreflex drives (factor 1 - CAR^P1).
The Spencer dissociation algebra for blood gas exchange is carried
inline. The original FDA implementation uses delay- differential
equations for peripheral and central chemoreflex filtering with delays
of roughly K_Dp/(Qb+Qt) ~ 7 s and K_Dc/(Qb+Qt) ~ 11 s; this model
deploys the limit of zero delay (Plag_X = X, Clag_X = X), which
preserves the steady-state structure and longer-time-scale overdose
dynamics but does not reproduce the second-scale delay artefacts of the
original. Composes downstream of Mann_2022_mu_receptor_binding
(CAR_OPIOID input).

RFIXFc
(Diao 2014)
|
Three-compartment population PK model for recombinant factor IX Fc
fusion protein (rFIXFc, eftrenonacog alfa) in patients with severe to
moderate haemophilia B aged 12-77 years (Diao 2014). Disposition is
described by linear three-compartment kinetics with intravenous input
and first-order elimination from the central compartment; body weight is
the only retained covariate, scaling CL and V1 with estimated power
exponents (not the canonical 0.75 / 1) and a reference weight of 73 kg.

Rfxiii
cyno (Dodds 2005)
|
Preclinical (cynomolgus monkey). Three-state mechanistic population PK
model for recombinant Factor XIII A2 dimer (rA2) administered IV bolus,
with endogenous constant-influx production of A2 dimer and B monomer,
mass-action association A2 + 2 B -> A2B2 heterotetramer following the
1A2 + 2B -> 1A2B2 stoichiometry, first-order elimination of each
species, and three ELISA assay outputs (total A2 = A2 + A2B2; A2B2
tetramer; free B) with proportional + proportional + additive residual
error. Parameters are weight-normalised throughout (mass / kg).
Estimated in NONMEM V (Dodds 2005).

Rifabutin
(Hennig 2015)
|
Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for rifabutin with
simultaneous two-compartment metabolite (25-O-desacetyl rifabutin)
modelling in 44 African HIV-infected adults with pulmonary tuberculosis
on 300 mg daily oral rifabutin (Hennig 2015). Body weight allometrically
scaled (a priori; CL exponent 0.75, V exponent 1) on all rifabutin
apparent clearances and apparent volumes; sex effect on rifabutin V/F
(males 1.84-fold higher than females); SLCO1B1 rs11045819
heterozygous-AC genotype increases rifabutin bioavailability F by 30.4
percent relative to homozygous-CC reference. Des-rifabutin parameters
are apparent (with respect to rifabutin F and metabolite-formation
fraction) and were estimated without allometric scaling, with metabolite
Q and peripheral V fixed.

Rifampicin
(Barnett 2018)
|
One-compartment population PK model with Wilkins/Savic
transit-compartment absorption for a single 600 mg oral dose of
rifampicin in healthy adult males (Barnett 2018), refit from the Wilkins
2008 structural form. The rifampicin model is one of three popPK models
developed jointly in Barnett 2018 to support OATP1B
drug-drug-interaction modeling with coproporphyrin I and rosuvastatin;
the rifampicin compartmental output is the time-varying CRIF input that
drives the competitive OATP1B inhibition term in the sibling
coproporphyrin I and rosuvastatin models.

Rifampicin
(Clewe 2015)
|
Pharmacometric pulmonary distribution model for rifampicin in adults
without tuberculosis: a one-compartment plasma PK model with
single-transit oral absorption coupled to a Smythe 2012 enzyme-pool
autoinduction structure (MTT, N, EMAX, EC50, kENZ all fixed from the
upstream Smythe 2012 model) plus two effect compartments capturing
distribution from plasma to epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and alveolar
cells (AC); CL/F and Vc/F are FFM-allometrically scaled to 70 kg, the
ELF and AC equilibration rate constants kELF and kAC are fixed to an
equivalent 1-min half-life (instantaneous distribution at the single 4-h
post-dose BAL sampling time), and only the unbound steady-state
ELF/plasma and AC/plasma concentration ratios are estimated (1.28 and
5.5 after correction for the 20% rifampicin plasma free fraction).

Rifampicin
(Horita 2018)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model with sequential
zero-order then first-order absorption and first-order elimination for
oral rifampin (rifampicin) in Ghanaian children with active tuberculosis
(Horita 2018); allometric weight scaling on CL/F (fixed 0.75) and V/F
(fixed 1.0) normalised to the cohort median 14.3 kg.

|
Rifampicin
(Sloan 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral rifampin in Malawian adults
with smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (Sloan 2017), developed using
a two-stage NONMEM workflow: stage 1 fit a one-compartment + Savic 2007
transit-compartment absorption chain (NN, MTT, Ka) to 47
intensively-sampled patients, then stage 2 fit CL/F and V/F (plus IIVs
and a multiplicative sex effect on CL) to 174 sparsely-sampled patients
with absorption parameters fixed at the stage 1 estimates; F is fixed at
1, between-subject variability is on CL/F, V/F, and (fixed from stage 1)
MTT, and an allometric weight model with fixed exponents 0.75 / 1.0 is
referenced to 70 kg.

|
Rifampicin
(Smythe 2012)
|
Semimechanistic population PK / enzyme-turnover autoinduction model for
oral rifampicin in adult tuberculosis patients (Smythe 2012).
One-compartment disposition with single-transit absorption (N = 1 FIX)
feeds the central compartment; rifampicin plasma concentration drives a
nonlinear Emax production-rate increase on a unitary-baseline enzyme
pool, which in turn multiplies apparent oral clearance. CL/F and V/F are
Anderson-Holford normal-fat-mass (NFM) allometrically scaled to a 70-kg
patient with separate estimated Ffat contributions on CL/F and V/F.
HIV-positive status increases V/F by 29.6%. IIV is on CL/F (correlated
with V/F at 91.1%), V/F, and EC50; interoccasion variability is on MTT
and bioavailability F. Residual error is combined additive +
proportional. The same one-compartment + single-transit + autoinduction
structural backbone (and the autoinduction parameters MTT, N, Emax,
EC50, kENZ) is inherited verbatim by Clewe 2015 and Svensson 2016 – see
modellib(‘Clewe_2015_rifampicin’) and
modellib(‘Svensson_2016_rifampicin’).

Rifampicin
(Svensson 2016)
|
Combined population PK/PD model for rifampicin in adults with
drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis: a one-compartment,
single-transit, oral PK model with first-order
plasma-concentration-driven autoinduction of clearance via an
enzyme-pool turnover (structure from Smythe 2012) linked to the
Multistate Tuberculosis Pharmacometric (MTP) three-state bacterial
disease model (fast-, slow-, and nonmultiplying Mycobacterium
tuberculosis states; structure from Clewe 2016) with rifampicin drug
effects as fixed-at-100% on/off inhibition of fast-multiplying bacterial
growth plus second-order plasma-concentration-driven death of slow- and
nonmultiplying bacteria; all PK parameters and all MTP transfer/growth
rates are fixed to the upstream-paper estimates, while the system
carrying capacity Bmax (with 152% CV IIV) and the two second-order death
rates SDk and NDk are re-estimated against 19 patients from a 1966-1977
Kenyan rifampicin monotherapy trial.

Rifampicin
(Vinnard 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral rifampicin in HIV/TB
patients in Botswana (Vinnard 2017), with a Savic 2007 analytical
transit-compartment absorption chain feeding a virtual depot, oral
bioavailability fixed at 1, between-subject variability on CL, F, MTT,
and the (non-integer) number of transit compartments NN, and
inter-occasion variability on F across two sampling visits (pre-ART vs
after approximately 4 weeks of ART).

Rifampicin
(Wicha 2018)
|
Preclinical-to-clinical translational Multistate Tuberculosis
Pharmacometric (MTP) framework for high-dose oral rifampicin in adults
with pulmonary tuberculosis. The Svensson 2018 HIGHRIF1 plasma PK model
(Erlang transit absorption + Michaelis-Menten clearance + enzyme-pool
autoinduction + dose-dependent bioavailability anchored at 450 mg) is
coupled via the Clewe 2015 epithelial lining fluid (ELF) effect
compartment to a new post-antibiotic-effect (PAE) compartment with
saturable Michaelis-Menten elimination, driving the Clewe 2016
three-state MTP model (fast-, slow-, and nonmultiplying Mycobacterium
tuberculosis substates) at human-specific carrying capacity Bmax =
2.42e8/mL and fast-multiplying growth rate kG = 0.206/day. Time unit is
days; all PK rates from Svensson 2018 (reported in 1/h) and the ELF kELF
from Clewe 2015 are multiplied by 24 to bring to days. All structural
parameters are fixed at the Wicha 2018 Table 1 typical values; only the
Svensson 2018 IIV is carried (IOV is omitted because the EBA forward
simulation models a single 14-day monotherapy course). The model
predicts early bactericidal activity (EBA0-2 / EBA0-5 / EBA0-14) for
clinical rifampicin doses 2.5-50 mg/kg without re-estimating any
parameter from clinical EBA data.

Rilotumumab
(Zhang 2016)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for rilotumumab (fully human
anti-HGF IgG2 monoclonal antibody) in patients with MET-positive gastric
or gastroesophageal-junction adenocarcinoma receiving rilotumumab in
combination with epirubicin / cisplatin / capecitabine (ECX). The
structural model and parameter values were inherited from the previously
developed population PK analysis of rilotumumab (Zhu et al. 2014, J
Pharm Sci 103:328-336); Zhang 2016 reports the typical-value point
estimates and IIV %CV from that prior model and uses it as the reference
for an external visual predictive check assessing whether ECX
co-administration alters rilotumumab PK.

|
Rilpivirine
(Aouri 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral rilpivirine in
HIV-1-infected adults (Aouri 2017), with zero-order absorption from the
gastrointestinal tract directly into the central compartment (duration
D1 = 4 h; derived mean absorption time D1/2 = 2 h), apparent clearance
CL/F = 11.7 L/h, apparent volume of distribution V/F = 401 L, combined
proportional plus additive residual error (21.6% and 9.8 ng/mL), and
inter-individual variability on CL/F only (33% CV). No demographic,
clinical, or genetic covariates (sex, body weight, height, age, race,
AST, ALT, HCV, HBV, comedications, CYP3A422, CYP3A53,
CYP2C192, CYP2C1917, UGT1A128, UGT1A42) were retained
in the final covariate model.

Risperidone
(Sherwin 2012)
|
One-compartment parent-plus-metabolite population PK model for oral
risperidone and its active metabolite (+/-)-9-hydroxyrisperidone in 45
children and adolescents (aged 3-18.3 years, 16.8-110 kg) with
neuropsychiatric disorders treated with maintenance oral risperidone
(Sherwin 2012). First-order absorption (Ka fixed) into a single central
compartment with first-order elimination; the fraction of risperidone
metabolized to (+/-)-9-hydroxyrisperidone (KF) feeds a single metabolite
compartment whose apparent volume of distribution is set equal to the
parent apparent volume per Table 2 footnote (a). A mixture model with
three CYP2D6 metabolizer subpopulations (poor PM, intermediate IM,
extensive EM) yields subpopulation-specific apparent oral clearances and
metabolite formation fractions; KF in IM subjects is fixed at 1 to
stabilize the model per the paper’s Mixture Model section. Allometric
scaling (exponent 0.75 for CL/F and CLM/F, exponent 1 for Vd/F,
reference 70 kg) is applied to all three subpopulations’ clearance
estimates and to the shared apparent volume. Inter-individual
variability is reported separately for each subpopulation’s CL/F (PM,
IM, EM), for the metabolite CLM/F, and for the shared Vd/F; a combined
additive-plus-proportional residual error is reported separately for
risperidone and (+/-)-9-hydroxyrisperidone plasma concentrations.

|
Ritonavir
(Kappelhoff 2005)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption, an
absorption lag time, and first-order elimination for oral ritonavir in
HIV-1-infected adults (186 patients, 1228 plasma concentrations;
Kappelhoff 2005). Concomitant lopinavir is the only retained covariate
and multiplies apparent oral clearance by 2.72-fold (power form: CL/F =
exp(lcl) * 2.72^CONMED_LPV). Inter-individual variability on apparent
CL/F, V/F, and ka, with correlated etas for V and ka (rho = 0.868).
Residual error has a single 15.4% proportional component and a
mixture-model additive component (subpopulation P1, 64.8% of subjects:
0.0600 mg/L; subpopulation P2, 35.2%: 0.199 mg/L), gated by the binary
covariate MIX_LARGE_RUV. Interoccasion variability on apparent
bioavailability (59.1% in the source) is not propagated – see the
validation vignette Assumptions and deviations section.

Rituximab
(Candelaria 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model of rituximab (and its biosimilar
RTXM83) with linear distribution and linear elimination from the central
compartment in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
treated with rituximab-CHOP or RTXM83-CHOP (Candelaria 2018; pooled-arm
fit, all 5341 concentrations from both treatment arms)

|
Rivipansel
(Tammara 2017)
|
Three-compartment IV population PK model for rivipansel in adults and
adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) and in healthy adult
volunteers (Tammara 2017). Rivipansel is a pan-selectin antagonist given
as a 20-minute IV infusion; renal excretion of unchanged drug is the
primary clearance mechanism. The integrated population PK model pools
109 subjects across three phase I studies (rivipansel studies 101, 102,
103) and one phase II SCD study (NCT01119833, Telen 2015). Clearance is
a power function of creatinine clearance (CRCL, raw Cockcroft-Gault
mL/min reference 150) with an additive 23.4% shift in the phase II SCD
cohort (STUDY_RIV201) attributed to glomerular hyperfiltration. The
central, first peripheral, and second peripheral volumes share a single
estimated body-weight exponent (0.569, reference 70 kg). The additive
and proportional residual error magnitudes differ between the phase I
and phase II cohorts and are selected per observation via STUDY_RIV201.

Rocatinlimab
(Okada 2025)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with parallel linear and
time-dependent saturable (Michaelis-Menten) clearance and first-order
subcutaneous absorption for rocatinlimab (anti-OX40 mAb) in adults;
covariates body weight, albumin, plaque-psoriasis disease state, and
healthy-volunteer cohort indicator (Okada 2025)

Roflumilast
(Lahu 2010)
|
Joint parent-metabolite population PK model for oral roflumilast and its
primary active metabolite roflumilast N-oxide in adult healthy
volunteers and patients with moderate-to-severe COPD (Lahu 2010).
Roflumilast is described by a two-compartment model with first-order
absorption and a lag time; the absolute parent bioavailability is not
identifiable and is fixed at F1 = 1. Roflumilast N-oxide is described by
a one-compartment model with zero-order absorption (duration D1) and a
lag time, with relative bioavailability Frel fixed at 1 for the
null-covariate reference (also non-identifiable). Retained covariates on
roflumilast parameters are food on tlag and ka, sex / smoking /
race-Black / race-Hispanic / COPD on CL, and COPD on V1. Retained
covariates on roflumilast N-oxide parameters are food on D1; age / sex /
smoking / COPD on CL; body weight and COPD on Vd; and age / sex /
race-Black / race-Hispanic on Frel. Inter-individual variability is
reported on parent tlag, ka, CL, V1, Q, V2 (with a Q-V2 covariance) and
on N-oxide D1, CL, Vd (with a full 3x3 covariance block); no IIV is
reported on N-oxide tlag or on Frel. Residual error is proportional on
the linear- concentration scale (additive on the log-transformed
observation) for both observed analytes, fitted on the phase I dataset
(the more data-rich layer).

Romiplostim
(Petrov 2024)
|
Population PK/PD model for romiplostim in adults with chronic immune
thrombocytopenia (ITP). One-compartment first-order subcutaneous PK plus
an Emax stimulation of platelet precursor production into a
4-transit-compartment Friberg-style chain feeding circulating platelets,
with first-order platelet degradation. PK/PD backbone is the
healthy-volunteer population PK/PD model (Makarenko 2024); ITP-specific
platelet production (kin) and degradation (kdeg) constants and IIV(kdeg)
come from Petrov 2024 supplement Table S1. Default parameters are
non-splenectomized ITP patients with mechanism 1 (increased platelet
degradation, normal precursor production); see vignette for the other 3
subpopulation variants (non-splenectomized mechanism 2; splenectomized
mechanism 1; splenectomized mechanism 2).

|
Romiplostim
(Wang 2010)
|
Population PK/PD model for romiplostim in healthy subjects (Wang 2010
AAPS J). Pharmacodynamics-mediated drug disposition (PDMDD, a TMDD
subtype) two-compartment quasi-equilibrium PK with first-order SC
absorption, parallel linear (kel) and target-mediated (kint)
elimination, coupled to a Krzyzanski-style cytokinetic precursor +
platelet lifespan PD model with NP=10 megakaryocyte and NPLT=10 platelet
age-compartments. Romiplostim free serum concentration stimulates
platelet precursor production via a Hill function (Smax, SC50). The
total c-Mpl receptor concentration is taken proportional to the
circulating platelet count (Rtot = xi * PLT). Wang 2010 fit the model to
MEAN PK and platelet-count data from 32 healthy subjects after single IV
(0.3, 1, 10 ug/kg) or SC (0.1, 0.3, 1, 2 ug/kg) doses; no IIV was
estimated (the population approach failed for this complex model).

Rosuvastatin
(Barnett 2018)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption for
a single 5 mg dose of rosuvastatin in healthy adult males (Barnett
2018), refit from the Tzeng 2008 structural form with simultaneous
plasma + urine fitting. The model includes separable biliary (CLb,RSV)
and renal (CLr,RSV) clearance components from the central compartment,
competitive rifampicin OATP1B inhibition of the biliary clearance via
KiRSV driven by the instantaneous plasma rifampicin concentration, and a
binary RIF-coadministration covariate that captures paper-reported
reductions of V1, V2, and Q during the rifampicin phase (Barnett 2018
Table 1: V1 430 -> 2.98 L, V2 865 -> 128 L, Q 45.3 -> 5.03 L/h
on RIF). Companion to modellib(‘Barnett_2018_coproporphyrin_I’); both
share the rifampicin perpetrator parameterisation in
modellib(‘Barnett_2018_rifampicin’).

Rosuvastatin
(Macpherson 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order oral absorption for
rosuvastatin in pediatric patients (aged 6 to <18 years) with
heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (Macpherson 2015 Eur J Clin
Pharmacol). Apparent clearance scales with body weight (estimated power
exponent 0.352, reference 42 kg) and is 1.41-fold higher in males than
females. Residual error is proportional and switches between intensive
and sparse PK sampling phases.

MBMA. Literature-based meta-analysis simple Emax dose-response model for
percentage reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from
baseline in adult hypercholesterolemia patients receiving rosuvastatin.
Operates at the study-arm level over 14 dose-ranging trials (46
study-arm-mean effect samples; 9 Western trials and 5 Asian trials,
total N substantially larger than 46 because each arm pools many
patients). Output Cc is the study-arm mean percent LDL-C reduction from
baseline (unsigned: Cc = 50 means a 50 percent reduction). The placebo
intercept E0 (-0.802 percent, a small expected LDL-C increase under
placebo) and the Hill / sigmoidicity exponent (1) are fixed at the
values used by the source paper – E0 from prior literature [Mandema
2005, ref 15] and gamma after the sigmoidal Emax fit produced unstable
estimates. Race (Asian vs Western reference) is the only retained
covariate and acts on ED50: ED50_Asian = ED50_Western * 0.564
(i.e. roughly twofold-lower ED50 in Asians). Between-trial variability
is encoded as a single study-arm-level eta on the predicted output (SD
3.0 percent); residual error is additive (SD 3.1 percent). Baseline
LDL-C was screened but not retained. Suitable simulation scope is
study-arm-mean percent LDL-C reduction, NOT individual-subject LDL-C
trajectories. The model also predicts only the steady-state effect
(paper restricted to arms with at least 4 weeks of treatment).

Rucaparib
(Wang 2015)
|
Three-compartment IV population PK model coupled to a direct-effect Emax
PK/PD model for inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1)
activity in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) by rucaparib (AG-014699 /
PF-01367338) in adult cancer patients (Wang 2015 Phase 1 study
A4991002), with a power covariate effect of baseline PBL PARP activity
on the residual maximum-inhibition parameter Emin.

Rwj416457
(Schmidt 2009)
|
In vitro (Staphylococcus aureus MRSA strain OC2878). Mechanism-based PD
model of bacterial-killing time-kill curves for RWJ-416457, an
investigational oxazolidinone (Schmidt 2009). Susceptibility-based
two-subpopulation structure: an active self-replicating susceptible pool
with logistic carrying-capacity limit and a dormant persister pool that
is insusceptible to killing; first-order S->P conversion (P->S
held fixed at 0), natural-death loss from both pools, exponential
turn-on of growth and of drug-induced killing, and Emax killing of the
susceptible subpopulation by the antibiotic. Drug concentration in the
Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB) declines first-order at the published
10%-over-24-h degradation rate; for dynamic syringe-replacement
experiments the user adds the dilution-equivalent rate to kdeg via
rxSolve(…, params = c(kdeg = )). The same joint fit is shared
with Schmidt_2009_linezolid (only EC50 and kdeg differ).

S
ketamine (Flint 2017)
|
Joint two-compartment S-ketamine + one-compartment S-norketamine
population PK model for continuous intravenous S-ketamine infusion
during prolonged sedation in pediatric intensive care patients aged
0.02-12.5 years (Flint 2017). The parent S-ketamine has two-compartment
disposition (CL = 112 L/h, V1 = 7.73 L, Q = 196 L/h, V2 = 545 L at 70
kg) and feeds the active metabolite S-norketamine, modelled as one
apparent central compartment with Clsnk/Fm = 53.2 L/h and Vsnk/Fm = 1 L
(fixed; Fm is not identifiable). Body weight is allometrically scaled
with fixed exponents 0.75 for clearances and 1.0 for volumes referenced
to 70 kg; time after the first S-ketamine dose acts as a linear positive
multiplier on Clsnk (0.870 percent per hour), the only retained
covariate at backward elimination.

Sacituzumab
(Sathe 2024)
|
Coupled three-analyte population PK model for sacituzumab govitecan (SG,
the ADC; output Cc), free SN-38 (released payload; output Cc_sn38), and
total antibody (tAB; output Cc_tab) in adults with metastatic
triple-negative breast cancer and other solid tumors (Sathe 2024). All
three analytes are described by two-compartment models with body-weight
allometric scaling. SG carries IIV on CL and a baseline-albumin power
covariate on CL. Free SN-38 is generated from SG by a first-order
release rate KREL with apparent volumes fixed to literature values
(Klein 2002). tAB has time-dependent CL (asymptotic onset, max ~17%
reduction at t1/2 ~48 days), correlated IIV on CL and V1, and covariates
of baseline albumin (CL), tumor type (CL), and sex (V1). Simulation
requires dosing two compartments simultaneously (central and
central_tab) for each SG infusion event.

(Peng 2024)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for SAL003, a novel anti-PCSK9 IgG4
monoclonal antibody, with first-order SC absorption (with lag time),

|
Salbutamol
(Heuberger 2018)
|
Semi-physiological PK simulation model for inhaled and oral salbutamol
with its sulphate metabolite (S-SAL) in adult elite athletes. Eight
compartments (gut, two-compartment parent disposition, parent plasma
metabolite arm, cumulative parent urine, cumulative S-SAL urine,
cumulative urine volume) with allometric scaling on disposition and
physiological scaling on the cardiac-output-driven urine production
rate, synthesised from literature (Auclair 2000 dog model, Morgan 1986
renal CL, Holt 1968 cardiac output, Moerkeberg 2009 haematocrit) and
calibrated to Haase 2009 inhaled-salbutamol data (Heuberger 2018).

baseline for sapropterin dihydrochloride in pediatric patients <4
years with BH4-responsive phenylketonuria or mild hyperphenylalaninemia
(Muntau 2017 SPARK trial).

Sarilumab
(Xu 2019)

rheumatoid arthritis (Xu 2019), with first-order SC absorption and
parallel linear plus Michaelis-Menten (target-mediated) elimination from
the central compartment.
|
|
Sarilumab
anc (Ma 2020)
|
Indirect-response PopPK/PD model for absolute neutrophil count (ANC)
following subcutaneous sarilumab in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (Ma
2020). Sarilumab concentrations drive stimulation of ANC elimination
(margination); PK backbone is Xu 2019.
|
|
Sarilumab
das28crp (Ma 2020)
|
Indirect-response PK/PD model of sarilumab on the 28-joint disease
activity score by C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) in adults with
rheumatoid arthritis (Ma 2020). Sarilumab inhibits the DAS28-CRP
production rate (kin) via a sigmoid emax function that includes a
background DMARD placebo component (PLB). The PK driver is the
two-compartment, parallel linear + Michaelis-Menten model of Xu 2019
evaluated at its typical covariate-reference values (adult female, 71
kg, ADA-negative, commercial drug product, ALBR = 0.78, CrCl = 100
mL/min/1.73 m^2, baseline CRP = 14.2 mg/L).

|
Selexipag
(Krause 2017)
|
Joint two-compartment parent + two-compartment metabolite population PK
model for oral selexipag and its active metabolite ACT-333679 in adults
with pulmonary arterial hypertension (Krause 2017, GRIPHON study).
First-order absorption with a fixed 0.668 h absorption lag delivers
selexipag into a two-compartment disposition with linear total clearance
CL/F (apparent total clearance, of which the rate constant kmet
describes the fraction converted to ACT-333679); the metabolite has its
own two-compartment disposition with first-order elimination via km.
Body weight (allometric on V_p/F and CL/F; on V_m/F), total bilirubin
(power on CL/F), sex (multiplicative on km), and a four-level
PAH-comedication categorical (naive / ERA only / PDE5 inhibitor only /
ERA + PDE5 combined; multiplicative on km) were retained as
statistically significant covariates.

|
Selumetinib
(Patel 2017)
|
Sequential two-compartment population PK model for oral selumetinib
(AZD6244, ARRY-142886) and its active metabolite N-desmethyl-selumetinib
in adults with advanced solid tumors pooled with children with recurrent
low-grade glioma (Patel 2017). Selumetinib disposition uses sequential
zero-order (release into the gut compartment over duration D1 with lag
ALAG1) and first-order (rate Ka) absorption with bioavailability
anchored at 1 under fasted conditions and reduced by an additive
food-effect coefficient under fed conditions; D1 and ALAG1 carry
additive food-effect coefficients. Body surface area (power on CL/F and
Vc/F), age (power on Vc/F), and alanine aminotransferase (negative power
on CL/F) modify selumetinib parameters; BSA (negative power) modifies
the fraction metabolized to N-desmethyl-selumetinib. The metabolite is
two-compartment with its central volume fixed equal to the parent
central volume to resolve identifiability; metabolite clearance and
intercompartmental clearance are apparent values.

(Aoyama 2012)
|
One-compartment IV population PK model for sepantronium bromide (YM155),
a small-molecule survivin suppressant administered as a 7-day continuous
IV infusion every 21 days, with power-form covariate effects of
creatinine clearance and alanine aminotransferase and proportional
cancer-type effects (hormone-refractory prostate cancer and melanoma vs
non-small cell lung cancer) on clearance, in adults with NSCLC, HRPC, or
unresectable stage III/IV melanoma (Aoyama 2012)

Sevoflurane
(Shin 2014)
|
Pharmacodynamic sigmoid Emax model for the probability of recovery of
consciousness (ROC) vs end-tidal sevoflurane concentration (vol %)
during emergence from general anesthesia in pediatric dental-surgery
patients (Shin 2014). Mentality (intact vs severely mentally disabled,
MENT_DISABLED) stratifies both the concentration at 50% probability of
ROC (C50) and the Hill coefficient. NONMEM Bernoulli likelihood in the
source paper; this implementation exposes the typical-value probability
with a placeholder additive residual error (see vignette Assumptions and
deviations).

Sglt
qsp (Lu 2014)
|
QSP. Mechanistic systems pharmacology model of renal glucose
reabsorption by SGLT1 and SGLT2 along the proximal tubules in humans,
with optional competitive inhibition by an SGLT2 inhibitor (calibrated
to dapagliflozin; evaluated against canagliflozin). The proximal
convoluted tubules (PCT) are divided into six sub-segments (PCT1-6,
SGLT2-mediated reabsorption) and the proximal straight tubules into
three (PST1-3, SGLT1-mediated). Filtrate drains into a urinary bladder.
Plasma glucose (GLU, mmol/L) and plasma inhibitor (CINH, nmol/L) enter
as time-varying regressors through glomerular filtration. Calibrated by
hand-tuning in Berkeley Madonna v8.3.18 against the DeFronzo et
al. (2013) urinary glucose excretion data; evaluated against Polidori et
al. (2013), Mogensen (1971), and Wolf et al. (2009). 23 ODE states; no
fitted IIV or residual error (typical-individual mechanism model fit to
mean per-step data).

|
Sibutramine
(Han 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK for the active mono-desmethyl metabolite
M1 plus a one-compartment PK for the downstream di-desmethyl metabolite
M2 of the appetite-suppressant prodrug sibutramine, combined with an
asymptotic exposure-response weight-loss PD model in Korean obese adults
with metabolic syndrome. Sibutramine is dosed orally and assumed to
convert entirely to M1 during absorption; M1 is then metabolised
entirely to M2 and M2 is the only elimination pathway. Drug effect
inhibits the rate of weight gain via a sigmoid Emax function of the
steady-state sum AUC of M1 and M2 (AUC_ss,sum, computed from the current
daily dose and the individual M1 and M2 clearances). A constant placebo
effect is acknowledged only in female subjects and scales with
mean-normalised baseline BMI.

Simvastatin
(Jin 2014)
|
Joint two-compartment population PK model for orally administered
simvastatin (lactone parent) and its active metabolite simvastatin acid
(open beta-hydroxyacid), describing atypical multiple-peak absorption
via three parallel mixed zero-and-first-order absorption processes and
non-equilibrium reversible interconversion between the two species (Jin
2014). The simvastatin lactone is delivered into three depot
compartments with fractional bioavailabilities F1, F2, F3 (sum = 1)
parameterised through two relative-bioavailability constants BA1 and
BA2, each depot has its own first-order absorption rate constant Ka1,
Ka2, Ka3, zero-order infusion duration D1, D2, D3, and absorption
lag-times ALAG1 = 0, ALAG2, ALAG3, the lactone disposes via a
2-compartment system with apparent clearance CL and inter-compartmental
clearance Q, the fraction FM of total parent CL is converted to
simvastatin acid (V_acid central fixed at 1 L for identifiability), and
a reverse clearance Q64 returns acid to the parent central compartment.
Age, body weight, and height were tested as covariates and not retained
in the final model. The source publication analysed data in molar units;
this packaged model preserves that choice – doses are expressed in nmol
and concentrations in nmol/L. The validation vignette demonstrates the
standard milligram-to-nanomole conversion using the simvastatin lactone
molecular weight.

Sirolimus
(Golubovic 2019)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for sirolimus in adult kidney
transplant recipients on triple immunosuppressive therapy (sirolimus +
mycophenolate mofetil + corticosteroids) developed from routine
therapeutic-drug-monitoring trough data with the NONMEM
informative-prior functionality (Golubovic 2019). Covariate effects on
CL/F: aspartate aminotransferase greater than 37 IU/L as a binary
indicator of elevated liver enzymes (-37 percent multiplicative effect
via power form 0.63^AST_HIGH) and age as a linear-deviation effect on
CL/F with reference age 44 years (coefficient -0.388 on AGE/44,
reproducing the 49 percent CL/F decrease from age 16 to age 64 reported
in the Discussion).

Snake
venom (Sanhajariya 2018)
|
Exploratory population PK meta-analysis of snake venom in humans
(Sanhajariya 2018): one-compartment model with zero-order input
(duration D1 = 1 h, fixed) and first-order elimination, fit in NONMEM
7.2 to 218 timed venom concentrations from 145 snakebite patients pooled
across 24 published case reports / series. Snake family (Elapidae vs
Viperidae) modifies F1; Viperidae is the reference (F1 = 1, fixed).
Authors describe the model as a preliminary prior for future
snake-envenoming PK modelling; F1 also absorbs the large bite-to-bite
variability in injected venom mass.

QSP. Mechanistic systems pharmacology model of the NO metabolome
(nitrite, nitrate) and methemoglobin (MetHb) in healthy adults receiving
a 48-hour intravenous infusion of sodium nitrite. Nine ODEs covering
plasma/RBC/tissue nitrite and nitrate, MetHb, NO and methemoglobin
reductase activity; nonlinear nitrite/nitrate renal clearance (linear
slope), entero-salivary nitrate-to-nitrite recycling, and
indirect-response stimulation of MetHb reductase. Time in minutes;
amounts in umol; concentrations in umol/L.

Somatropin
human (Thorsted 2016)
|
Translational (allometrically-scaled rat-to-human) population PKPD model
for recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH / somatropin) in
growth-hormone-deficient adult males. Structural parameter values are
derived from the Thorsted 2016 hypophysectomized-rat PKPD fit by
allometric scaling to a 70 kg reference subject (Table 3 of the source
paper): clearance terms (CL, Q) and Vmax with exponent 0.75;
distribution volumes (Vc, Vp) with exponent 0.9 (the
empirically-selected best-fit exponent for human i.v. data); first-order
absorption rate constants (ka1, ka2) and kout with exponent -0.25; KM
unscaled; Emax and EC50 unscaled. The s.c. absorption model is the
corrected form (Table 3 / Figure 5): bioavailability of the ka2 path
reduced from 0.833 (rat) to 0.500, and one transit compartment added to
the ka1 path. The IGF-1 indirect response uses kin = kout * R0 with R0
fixed to 65 ng/mL (human population mean per Laursen 1996) and is driven
directly by plasma rhGH (no effect-delay chain - the rat CPLAG chain is
intentionally dropped for the human prediction). Bodyweight gain is not
included in the human model. Variability is inherited from the rat PKPD
fit; residual error is fixed at the values used for the human-simulation
validation (Methods).

|
Somatropin
rat (Thorsted 2016)
|
Preclinical (hypophysectomized Sprague-Dawley rat). Mixed-effects PKPD
model for recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH / somatropin)
describing PK as a two-compartment model with parallel linear (CL) and
Michaelis-Menten (Vmax, KM) elimination, parallel first-order
subcutaneous absorption (ka1 direct path, ka2 delayed through one
transit compartment, with bioavailabilities F1 and F2), an indirect
response model for IGF-1 induction (stimulation of kin via a
three-compartment effect-delay chain feeding an Emax/EC50 stimulation),
and a linear bodyweight-gain model driven by IGF-1 above baseline.
Reference rat body weight is 0.1 kg (100 g) and the allometric exponents
(0.75 / 1.0) are fixed.

Sugemalimab
(Wang 2024)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with sigmoidal-emax time-varying

2024)
|
|
Sulfadoxine
(Karunajeewa 2009)
|
Population PK model for sulfadoxine (SDOX) and its primary
N-acetylsulfadoxine (NASDOX) metabolite in 60 Papua New Guinean women
(30 pregnant, second or third trimester; 30 age-matched nonpregnant
controls) given a single oral 1,500 mg sulfadoxine / 75 mg pyrimethamine
dose for intermittent presumptive treatment of malaria in pregnancy
(Karunajeewa 2009). SDOX is described by first-order absorption (no lag)
into a 2-compartment disposition with separate non-metabolic clearance
CL/F (renal excretion) and metabolic formation clearance CLM/F that
drains SDOX into a 1-compartment NASDOX disposition. NASDOX elimination
clearance is fixed at 10 times the structural SDOX non-metabolic CL/F
(rapid formation-rate-limited renal excretion of the metabolite, Bell
1985). Allometric scaling is applied to all apparent volumes (exponent
1) and all apparent clearances (exponent 0.75) at reference WT = 70 kg.
Pregnancy is the only retained covariate, entering as an additive term
on the structural SDOX non-metabolic CL/F (+0.0181 L/h/70 kg). The
companion model for the co-administered pyrimethamine is shipped as
‘Karunajeewa_2009_pyrimethamine’ (separate NONMEM dataset, fit
independently in the source publication).

SulfadoxinePyrimethamine
(deKock 2017)
|
Joint popPK model for the antimalarial fixed-dose combination of
sulfadoxine (1500 mg) and pyrimethamine (75 mg) as intermittent
preventive treatment during pregnancy (IPTp) and after delivery in 98
women from Mali, Mozambique, Sudan, and Zambia (de Kock 2017).
Sulfadoxine has 2-compartment disposition with first-order absorption;
pyrimethamine has 3-compartment disposition with first-order absorption.
Apparent volumes and flow rates are allometrically scaled with total
body weight (exponents 1 and 0.75 respectively, reference WT = 60 kg).
Whole-blood predictions are derived from plasma predictions using
hematocrit and an estimated RBC-to-plasma partition ratio per drug.
Pregnancy effects on apparent CL differ by drug: sulfadoxine uses a
sigmoidal time-after-delivery effect (asymptotic -75.7%, T50 = 6.35
weeks, gamma = 4.90), while pyrimethamine uses a step contrast (+21.2%
postpartum). Pyrimethamine apparent CL is additionally -20.2% in the
Mozambique site. Residual country-specific scaling on the observed
whole-blood concentrations is fitted with Mali as the reference.

SulfadoxinePyrimethamine
(Odongo 2015)
|
Joint popPK model for the antimalarial fixed-dose combination of
sulfadoxine (1500 mg) and pyrimethamine (75 mg) administered as a single
oral dose for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria during
pregnancy (IPTp) in 34 non-pregnant and 87 pregnant Ugandan women dosed
in the second trimester, of whom 78 were redosed in the third trimester
(Odongo 2015). Each drug is described by a two-compartment model with
first-order absorption and an absorption lag time, with bioavailability
fixed at 1. Covariates on apparent CL/F (additive in L/h): pregnancy
status (both drugs), serum albumin (sulfadoxine only), and subject age
(pyrimethamine only). Covariates on apparent central volume V2/F
(exponential per-unit): gestational age at dose (both drugs) and body
weight (pyrimethamine only). Inter-individual variability is log-normal
and is not estimated on V2/F or V3/F for sulfadoxine, nor on Q/F for
pyrimethamine, in line with the paper’s over-parameterisation control.

Sumatriptan
(Lee 2015)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral sumatriptan in healthy
Korean male volunteers (Lee 2015): two parallel absorption routes
(first-order absorption with lag time, and a transit-compartment chain
with the Savic 2007 analytical input form) into a single central
compartment with linear elimination. Captures the multiple-peaks
absorption phenomenon reported in oral sumatriptan.

Sunitinib
(Ait-Oudhia 2016)
|
Joint population PK/PD model for sunitinib and its equipotent active
metabolite SU12662 in adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC) receiving 37.5 mg sunitinib PO QD. Parent drug and metabolite each
follow a 2-compartment oral PK structure with first-order absorption;
each oral sunitinib dose deposits Dose into the parent depot and fM *
Dose (fM = 0.21 fixed, Houk 2009) into the SU12662 depot. The active
free (unbound) drug concentration ACub = (1 - fb_D) * Cc + (1 - fb_M) *
Cc_su12662 (fb_D = 0.9, fb_M = 0.95 fixed, free fractions 0.1 and 0.05)
inhibits the zero-order production rate of plasma sVEGFR2, captured with
an indirect-response model dsVEGFR2/dt = kin / (1 + alpha * INH) - kout
* sVEGFR2 with INH = ACub / (kd + ACub) (kd = 4 ug/L fixed, Mendel 2003)
and kin = R0 * kout. Tumor volume follows a first-order growth dTG/dt =
kg * (1 - H(t)) * TG with kg derived from baseline tumor volume by kg =
ln(2) / (114 * TG0^0.14) (Taouli 2005) and H(t) = Imax * dsVEGFR2 /
(dsVEGFR2 + dIC50) with Imax = 1 fixed and dsVEGFR2 = R0 - sVEGFR2(t).
The paper reports a significant covariate effect of the DCE-MRI
volume-transfer constant Ktrans on dIC50 (power coefficient 2.12) but
the cohort-median Ktrans required to centre that effect is not reported
in the paper or supplements on disk; the effect is omitted from model()
and documented in the vignette. A Cox-style time-to-tumor progression
hazard h(t) = b0 * exp(b1 * dAUC24h_sVEGFR2) is described in the paper
but evaluated post-simulation in the vignette, not encoded as an ODE.

Sunitinib
irinotecan mouse (Wilson 2015)
|
Preclinical (mouse with HT-29 colorectal-cancer xenograft). Mechanistic
tumor-growth PD model for the antiangiogenic agent sunitinib (reduces
vascular carrying capacity) combined with the cytotoxic agent irinotecan
(three-stage transit-cell-death chain following Simeoni et al. 2004) and
an empirical interaction term (Wilson 2015 Equation 4) in which the
irinotecan transit-death rate kC depends on the cumulative
pre-irinotecan sunitinib exposure. Drug input is K-PD (no
pharmacokinetic data; each oral sunitinib or 5-min IV irinotecan dose
enters its drug-amount compartment with normalized magnitude 1).

Tacrine
(Holford 1992)
|
Population pharmacodynamic disease-progression model for the cognitive
subscale of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-cog, 0-70
score) in patients with probable Alzheimer’s disease treated with
tacrine. Linear disease progression (baseline S0 + alpha*time) with a
tacrine effect on the location of the progression curve (effect
compartment driven by IBW-normalised daily dose rate, no estimable PK
clearance because the response is slow relative to the 2-hour tacrine
plasma half-life) and a placebo effect with asymmetric onset /
elimination / tolerance dynamics (placebo response builds up during
treatment, dissipates after treatment ends, and develops tolerance
during continued treatment). Estimated by Holford and Peace 1992 on 909
patients (5253 ADAS-cog observations) pooled from two clinical trials of
identical design: US protocol 970-01 (n = 632) and French protocol
970-04 (n = 277). The French cohort takes multiplicative scale factors
on baseline status (FS04 = 1.08), placebo potency (Fpp4 = 1.76), and
placebo elimination half-time (Ft1/2el-p4 = 2.78). Inter-individual
variability is correlated across baseline S0, progression rate alpha,
and tacrine potency beta_a (block of three) with diagonal IIV on placebo
potency beta_p; the time constants of the effect compartments are
typical-value only. Residual error is proportional. NOTE: the lead
Holford 1992 PNAS 89:11471-11475 ‘Results and validation’ paper supplies
all parameter values but the exact ODE form of the placebo dynamics is
described in the companion methodology paper (PNAS 89:11466-11470) which
was not available on disk at extraction time; the ODE form here is the
field-standard reconstruction (asymmetric on/off placebo compartment
plus multiplicative tolerance) and is documented in the validation
vignette’s Assumptions and deviations section.

Tacrolimus
(Andrews 2017)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and an
absorption lag time for twice-daily oral immediate-release tacrolimus
(Prograft and Modigraf) in paediatric renal transplant recipients during
the first 6 weeks post-transplantation (Andrews 2017). Apparent oral
clearance CL/F and apparent inter-compartmental clearance Q/F scale
allometrically with body weight at a fixed exponent of 0.75 referenced
to a 70 kg adult; apparent central volume V1/F and apparent peripheral
volume V2/F scale at a fixed exponent of 1.0; ka has no body-weight
scaling. CL/F additionally varies with CYP3A5 expresser status (1.04
multiplier for 3/3 or unknown genotype, 1.98 multiplier for
1/1 or 1/3 carriers; pooled with unknown because
Andrews 2017 explicitly groups 3/3 with unknown in the final
equation), donor source (0.74 multiplier for living-donor recipients vs
deceased-donor reference; equivalent to deceased-donor recipients having
~35% higher CL/F), eGFR (power exponent 0.19 centred at the cohort
median 69 mL/min/1.73 m^2 of adapted-Schwartz eGFR), and a piecewise
hematocrit effect (power exponent -0.44 centred at 0.3 L/L applied only
when HCT < 0.3 L/L). Inter-individual variability is diagonal on ka,
CL/F, V1/F, and V2/F. Residual error is a combined additive +
proportional model with separate immunoassay and LC-MS/MS magnitudes
selected by the per-sample IMMUNOASSAY indicator. Inter-occasion
variability (IOV) on CL/F (18% CV) and V2/F (35% CV) reported by Andrews
2017 Table 2 is NOT encoded structurally here (per the Brooks 2021
tacrolimus precedent) – the source paper does not define an operational
occasion column for the model-library use case; downstream users who
want to simulate IOV can add an OCC indicator and a per-occasion eta in
rxode2.

Tacrolimus
(Benkali 2010)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with Erlang-distributed transit
absorption (3 transit compartments) for once-daily extended-release oral
tacrolimus (Advagraf) in stable adult renal transplant recipients more

Tacrolimus
(Bergmann 2014)

Two-compartment population PK model for oral tacrolimus in adult kidney
transplant recipients (Bergmann 2014), with first-order absorption after
a lag time, allometric (WT/70 kg)^0.75 scaling on apparent clearance,
multiplicative CYP3A5*1-carrier effect on CL/F, linear hematocrit and
post-transplant-day effects on CL/F, linear free prednisolone Cmax
effect on V1/F, correlated inter-individual variability across V1/F, ka,

Tacrolimus
(Brooks 2021)
|
Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for IV
continuous-infusion tacrolimus in pediatric and young adult patients
undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Brooks 2021).
Allometric weight scaling on all PK parameters with fixed theoretic
exponents (0.75 on CL and Q, 1.0 on V and V2; reference weight 70 kg); a
structural ratio Fact fixed at 2.0 links Q to CL and V2 to V; and a
multiplicative azole-antifungal (voriconazole or posaconazole) factor of
0.8 on CL captures the CYP3A4/5 inhibitor co-treatment effect.

Tacrolimus
(Chen 2017)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and
absorption lag for low-dose oral tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf 0.5 mg
capsules) in Chinese adult and paediatric myasthenia-gravis (MG)
patients (Chen 2017). The absorption parameters ka and tlag are fixed at
values obtained from a supplementary dataset of healthy volunteers,
because the sparse-trough MG dataset is not informative about the
absorption phase. Apparent oral clearance CL/F (3.6 L/h typical) is
modulated by hematocrit and blood urea nitrogen through a multiplicative
power-of-covariate-ratio form referenced to cohort medians (HCT median
38.4 %, exponent 4.31; BUN median 4.2 mmol/L, exponent 1.42). Apparent
volume V/F is 1700 L typical with no retained covariate effects
(high-dose IV immunoglobulin treatment was tested as a covariate on V/F
but did not survive backward elimination). Inter-individual variability
is diagonal on CL/F (141.6% CV) and V/F (72.4% CV); no IIV is estimated
on ka or tlag. Residual variability is a pure proportional model (35.8%
CV) on whole-blood tacrolimus concentrations.

Tacrolimus
(Dunlap 2025)
|
Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral
immediate-release tacrolimus in adult allogeneic hematopoietic cell
transplant (allo-HCT) recipients (Dunlap 2025): first-order absorption
with bioavailability fixed at 1; allometric (TBW/70 kg) scaling fixed at
0.75 on CL/F and Q/F and at 1 on V1/F and V2/F; exponential CYP3A5
intermediate / normal metabolizer phenotype effect on CL/F (CYP3A5 IM or
NM have ~2.14-fold higher CL/F than CYP3A5 PM); exponential
reduced-intensity-conditioning effect on CL/F (RIC recipients have ~37%
lower CL/F than myeloablative-conditioning recipients); inter-individual
variability on V1/F, CL/F, and V2/F; and an additive residual error of
2.51 ng/mL on the linear concentration scale.

Tacrolimus
(Grover 2011)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for oral tacrolimus in adult Native
American kidney transplant recipients (Grover 2011), with first-order
absorption after a lag time, no covariate effects (the Native American
cohort showed no association of age, sex, weight, BMI, or
post-transplant duration with PK parameters), and a placeholder
proportional residual error model (residual error was not reported in
the short communication).

Tacrolimus
(Hao 2018)
|
One-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption (no lag)
and first-order elimination for twice-daily oral immediate-release
tacrolimus (Prograf) in paediatric nephrotic-syndrome patients aged
2.7-17.3 years (Hao 2018). Apparent oral clearance CL/F scales
allometrically with body weight at a fixed exponent of 0.75 referenced
to a 70 kg adult; apparent volume of distribution V/F scales linearly
with body weight at a fixed exponent of 1.0 referenced to 70 kg; ka has
no body-weight scaling. CL/F additionally varies with CYP3A5 expresser
status (multiplicative factor 1.60 for 1/1 or 1/3
carriers vs the 3/3 nonexpresser reference). Inter-individual
variability is diagonal on ka, V/F, and CL/F (exponential / log-normal
model). Residual unexplained variability is proportional (paper text:
‘The proportional model best described residual variability’; Table 2
reports it under the ‘Residual variability (exponential)’ label, which
is the standard NONMEM additive-on-log-scale parameterisation equivalent
to proportional in linear space).

Tacrolimus
(Ji 2018)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral tacrolimus in
Korean adult living-donor liver-transplant recipients during the first
14 days post-transplantation (Ji 2018). First-order absorption with ka
fixed at 4.48 1/h from prior reports; CL/F = 6.33 * POD^0.257 multiplied
by a combinational CYP3A5 recipient-and-donor categorical factor (2.314
if both recipient and donor are CYP3A5 expressers; 1.523 if the
recipient is a CYP3A5 expresser and the donor is a nonexpresser; 1.0
otherwise); V/F = 465 * POD^0.322; exponential IIV on CL/F and V/F;
combined proportional + additive residual error on whole-blood
tacrolimus concentration.

Tacrolimus
(Kim 2018)
|
Integrated population PK model of the tacrolimus (TAC) - mycophenolate
mofetil (MMF) drug-drug interaction in healthy Korean male volunteers
(Kim 2018, final integrated model). TAC follows a two-compartment model
with first-order absorption and a lag time; apparent oral clearance
(CL/F) is increased 1.48-fold in CYP3A5 expressers and is suppressed by
co-administered mycophenolic acid (MPA) through an inverse-exponential
interaction (CL/F = 13.8 / exp(0.0294Cmpa) 1.48^CYP3A5). MPA
(the active moiety of MMF) follows a two-compartment model with
first-order absorption; MPA is metabolised to MPAG (7-O-glucuronide; 85%
of metabolism) and AcMPAG (acyl glucuronide; 15%). MPAG undergoes
enterohepatic recirculation via a gallbladder compartment that empties
into the MPA absorption compartment during a meal-triggered window.
Tacrolimus concentrations are in ng/mL; MPA, MPAG and AcMPAG are in
ug/mL.

Tacrolimus
(Kirubakaran 2022)

Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral
immediate-release tacrolimus (Prograf) in adult heart transplant
recipients (Kirubakaran 2022): first-order absorption; FFM-allometric
scaling on CL/F and Q/F (exponent 0.75) and on V2/F and V3/F (exponent
1.0); haematocrit power effect on CL/F; and a state-dependent typical
CL/F (without vs with concomitant azole antifungal, 21.1 vs 4.2 L/h)
with a state-dependent CL/F BSV magnitude (61% vs 89.5% CV). Structural
PK was estimated with NONMEM PRIOR (NWPRI) support from the published
Sikma 2017 thoracic-transplant tacrolimus popPK model.

Tacrolimus
(Lu 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and lag
time for oral tacrolimus in pooled Chinese healthy volunteers and adult
orthotopic liver-transplant recipients (Lu 2015). Apparent peripheral
volume V3/F is fixed at the healthy-volunteer-only estimate (916 L).
Apparent clearance CL/F is reduced multiplicatively in liver-transplant
recipients and further modulated by an exponential serum ALT effect that
applies only to the transplant cohort.

Tacrolimus
(Moes 2016)
|
Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral once-daily
tacrolimus (Advagraf) in stable adult liver transplant recipients (Moes
2016), with first-order elimination from the central compartment and a
delayed first-order absorption phase described by three sequential
transit compartments sharing the absorption rate constant ka, a fixed
oral bioavailability F = 0.23, a categorical donor + recipient
CYP3A53 combination effect on apparent oral clearance (reference
both nonexpressers; donor nonexpresser + recipient 1 carrier +33%;
donor 1 carrier + recipient nonexpresser +33%; both 1 carriers
+71%), independent log-normal IIV on CL, Vc, and ka, and proportional
residual error on whole-blood concentration.

Tacrolimus
(Passey 2011)
|
Steady-state apparent-clearance regression model for oral tacrolimus
trough concentrations in adult kidney-transplant recipients (Passey
2011). Encoded as a 1-compartment IV continuous-infusion model with a
nominal fixed central volume of distribution: at steady state, Cc =
dose-rate / CL/F is independent of V, so the rxode2 simulation
reproduces the paper’s regression-style trough prediction. Apparent
clearance CL/F is multiplied by five covariate factors: an
ordered-categorical days-post-transplant effect (3-5 = reference, 6-10 =
0.86, 11-180 = 0.71), three-level CYP3A5 genotype (CYP3A53/3 =
reference, CYP3A51/3 = 1.70, CYP3A51/1 = 2.00),
steroid-sparing immunosuppression protocol (0.70), a power-form age
effect ((Age/50)^-0.40), and concomitant calcium channel blocker
coadministration (0.94).

Tacrolimus
(Prytula 2016)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and a
fixed absorption lag time for twice-daily oral tacrolimus (Prograft) in
stable paediatric renal transplant recipients at least one year after
kidney transplantation (Prytula 2016). All apparent-PK parameters (CL/F,
Q/F, V1/F, V2/F, ka) scale allometrically with body weight at fixed
exponents (0.75 on CL/F and Q/F, 1 on V1/F and V2/F, -0.25 on ka)
referenced to a 70 kg adult; V2/F is fixed at 1090 L/70 kg during
covariate analysis; CL/F additionally varies with CYP3A51 carrier
status (1+0.45-fold higher in carriers vs 3/3 nonexpressers),
gamma-glutamyltransferase (power -0.21, centred at 13 U/L), and
haematocrit (power -0.59, centred at 0.34); eta_Q is perfectly
correlated with eta_CL and is constructed as iiv_q_scale etalcl
(iiv_q_scale = 2.0; the ‘IIV-CL-Q’ parameter in Table 2);
inter-individual variability is a 3x3 correlated block on (ka, CL/F,
V1/F); proportional residual error.

Tacrolimus
(Rower 2017)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral / enteral
tacrolimus in paediatric heart transplant recipients (Rower 2017):
first-order absorption with fixed Ka = 3.43 1/h; AGE power effect on
apparent volume with exponent 0.775 and reference 5.7 years;
creatinine-clearance power effect on apparent elimination rate with
exponent 0.850 and reference 122.4 mL/min/1.73 m^2; concomitant
fluconazole reduces apparent elimination by 34%. Originally
parameterised in NONMEM ADVAN2 TRANS1 on (ke, V); converted here to the
canonical (CL/F, V/F) form via CL/F = ke * V, so the AGE effect
propagates to CL/F with the same exponent as on V/F.

Theory-based two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral
tacrolimus in adult kidney-transplant recipients (Storset 2014):
plasma-based disposition with first-order absorption and a lag time,
allometric scaling on fat-free mass, CYP3A5-expresser effects on plasma
clearance and oral bioavailability, a sigmoid-Emax prednisolone-driven
reduction in bioavailability, a first-day-post-transplant
bioavailability spike with subject-level random effect, and a saturable
haematocrit-dependent red-blood-cell-binding equation that maps plasma
concentration to whole-blood concentration.

power-form joint DOSE x POD covariate effect on apparent clearance,
log-normal IIV on CL/F, V2/F, Q/F, V3/F, and ka, and proportional

Industry meta-analysis. Two-compartment population PK model for oral
tacrolimus immediate-release (IR-T; Prograf, twice daily) and
prolonged-release (PR-T; Advagraf / Astagraf XL, once daily)
formulations in adult and paediatric liver, kidney, and heart transplant
recipients (Lu 2019). Pooled individual-patient data from 8 Astellas
Phase II studies (n = 408 patients, 23,176 whole-blood concentration
records). Structural model: first-order absorption with
formulation-dependent Ka (PR-T ~50% slower than IR-T), fixed absorption
lag time, and two-compartment disposition with first-order elimination.
Significant covariates: Asian race on CL/F (+59% vs Whites); log-AST on
CL/F, Vc/F, Vp/F, and F1 (power normalised at LAST = 3.15, i.e., AST ~=
23.3 IU/L); female sex on Vc/F (-44.6% vs males); albumin on Vc/F and
F1; and Asian / Black race on F1 (Asians > Whites > Blacks). Type
of organ transplanted and adult-vs-paediatric population had no
significant effect on PK parameters.

solid organ transplantation (Nanga 2019), built from pooled
individual-patient data across 7 historical NONMEM datasets (n = 281
paediatric + adult liver and kidney transplant recipients). Structural
model: first-order absorption with fixed lag time, time-varying
first-order elimination, allometric (WT/50 kg) scaling on apparent
clearance and apparent central volume, multiplicative reduction of CL/F
in hepatic-graft recipients, sigmoidal post-transplant-day recovery of
CL/F, and reduced relative bioavailability for the oral syrup
formulation. The literature-review summary table (Nanga 2019 Table 2: 76
published popPK models) is not used for parameter fitting and is not

Tacrolimus
thoracic (Sikma 2020)

Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral whole-blood
tacrolimus in 30 adult thoracic organ transplant recipients (10 heart,
20 lung) during the first 6 postoperative days at the University Medical
Center Utrecht intensive care unit (Sikma 2020 EJDMP). Apparent
clearance CL/F, apparent volumes V1/F and V2/F, inter-compartmental
clearance Q/F, and first-order absorption rate ka are estimated;
bioavailability F is fixed at 1. Only the inter-individual variability
of CL/F was identifiable in the source dataset; all other IIV elements
were not estimated. Inter-occasion (dose-to-dose) variability dominated
the variance structure but is not encoded structurally in this
extraction. No covariates were retained in the final model.

Tacrolimus
unbound plasma (Sikma 2020)

Two-compartment population PK model for whole-blood (Cc), unbound plasma
(Cupc), and total plasma (Ctpc) tacrolimus in 30 adult thoracic-organ
(10 heart + 20 lung) transplant recipients during the first 6
postoperative days (Sikma 2020). First-order oral absorption with ka, F,
and the within-PK fixed-parameter variabilities inherited from a
previously estimated tacrolimus model; non-linear saturable binding of
tacrolimus to erythrocytes (UPC = WBC * Kd / (Bmax * HCT - WBC)) with
the maximum erythrocyte binding capacity Bmax scaled by hematocrit, and
a linear non-specific plasma binding constant Nplasma linking unbound to
total plasma (TPC = Nplasma * UPC).

One-compartment population PK model for oral tafenoquine in 135 male
Thai soldiers receiving 400 mg base for malaria prophylaxis (monthly

apparent clearance and apparent volume of distribution (rho ~ 0.71) plus
separate IIV on the first-order absorption rate constant; no covariates
retained (centred age and weight on V/F and a prior-malaria indicator on
CL/F were screened but not deemed to have sufficient clinical impact to
alter the base model).

Taspoglutide
mbma (Li 2015)
|
MBMA. Coupled PD model-based meta-analysis of taspoglutide (long-acting
human glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, once-weekly SC) net efficacy on
fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in type
2 diabetes. Each endpoint is the sum of an exponential-to-asymptote
placebo response (Pmax, Kp) and a saturable Emax drug response (Dmax,
IC50, Kdrug) approached exponentially over time. The FPG drug effect is
driven by the study-arm-mean taspoglutide concentration between weeks 2
and 4 (Cavg; supplied as the METRIC_TASPO_C covariate: 0 / 59.85 / 119.7
pmol/L for placebo / 10 mg / 20 mg QW). The HbA1c drug effect is driven
by the model-predicted drug-induced FPG change (i.e. the
placebo-adjusted FPG response feeds the HbA1c Emax). Estimated on
digitised study-arm-mean PD data from 8 published clinical trials of
taspoglutide monotherapy or add-on therapy in type 2 diabetes (3,702
patients pooled, 8-52 week treatment durations); a ninth trial
(Rosenstock 2013) was held out for external validation. Placebo Pmax and
Kp were fitted on the placebo-only subset first and held fixed in the
final combined PD model. Between-trial variability (ITV) is encoded as
study-level etas (one eta per parameter); the model is suitable for
simulating study-arm-mean PD outcomes and is NOT suitable for
individual-subject simulation. Residual error is a proportional/power
model on each endpoint (the small power-correction term is simplified to
a plain proportional error in this implementation; see vignette
Assumptions and deviations).

Taurine
rat (Catalan-Latorre 2018)
|
Preclinical (rat). Population PK model for taurine
(2-aminoethylsulphonic acid) in male Wistar rats after IV bolus or oral
gavage administration (1, 10, or 100 mg per animal). Two-compartment
disposition (central and peripheral1) with zero-order endogenous
formation Q0, first-order passive oral absorption ka, first-order
inter-compartmental distribution (K12, K21), and non-linear renal
elimination described as two parallel Michaelis-Menten processes:
saturable tubular secretion (Vms, Kms) and saturable tubular
reabsorption (Vmr, Kmr), with net elimination = secretion -
reabsorption. Oral bioavailability was modelled as 100% (passive
diffusion; not altered by nutritional status). Protein-energy
undernutrition (MAL_NOURISH = 1) reduces the secretion Vmax by 9.4%
relative to well-nourished animals; no other PK parameter depends on
nutritional status. Initial conditions in the central and peripheral
compartments are set from the analytic positive root of the no-dose
steady-state quadratic so that the endogenous taurine concentration is
reproduced at t = 0.

tumour-tissue compartments (proliferative, non-damaged quiescent,
damaged quiescent) coupled to a K-PD virtual drug compartment, with
logistic proliferative growth (carrying capacity K fixed at 100 mm),
treatment-induced damage of both proliferative and quiescent tissues,
time-dependent acquired resistance of the proliferative tissue only, and
tumour-genotype covariate effects of TP53 mutation status on TMZ
efficacy and 1p/19q codeletion status on the
damaged-quiescent-to-proliferative repair rate. Observation is mean
tumour diameter (MTD = P + Q + Qp) in millimetres.

Tenofovir
(Baheti 2011)
|
Two-compartment first-order-absorption population PK model for plasma
tenofovir (TFV) in HIV-1-infected adults on once-daily tenofovir
disoproxil fumarate (TDF) coupled with a stimulatory indirect-response
(Dayneka 1993) model for intracellular tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) in
peripheral blood mononuclear cells; plasma TFV drives TFV-DP formation
through a sigmoidal Emax stimulation function. Creatinine clearance
enters CL/F and Vc/F via a power covariate. Fitted sequentially (PK
first, PD with PK individual post-hoc Bayes estimates fixed).

Tenofovir
combined (Lu 2016)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order absorption and an
absorption lag time for tenofovir (300 mg oral TDF once daily) in
HIV-1-uninfected African adults receiving once-daily preexposure
prophylaxis (Lu 2016, Partners PrEP Study). Combined variant: parameters
estimated using a combined data set in which patient-reported dosing
records were replaced with MEMS electronic adherence monitoring records
where available. Absorption rate constant Ka is fixed at 1.5 /h;
absorption lag time ALAG1 = 0.41 h. Apparent oral clearance (CL/F)
carries a power-form covariate effect on creatinine clearance (raw
Cockcroft-Gault, mL/min) centred at the cohort mean 106 mL/min. Diagonal
IIV on CL/F, V1/F, and Ka; combined additive + proportional residual
error.

Tenofovir
emtricitabine (Chen 2016)
|
Linked population PKPD model for daily oral co-administered tenofovir
(TFV, given as the prodrug TDF 300 mg = TFV 136 mg) and emtricitabine
(FTC 200 mg) in HIV-positive and HIV-negative adults (Chen 2016
Cell-PrEP study). Each parent drug is described by a two-compartment
first-order-absorption plasma popPK model. Each parent feeds a hybrid
first-order-formation + saturation link into its intracellular
triphosphate anabolite in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (TFV-DP,
FTC-TP), modelled with a two-compartment ‘recycle’ elimination structure
where a fraction R of the eliminated drug re-enters the central
intracellular compartment. Each anabolite inhibits the zero-order
production rate of two endogenous deoxynucleoside triphosphates via an
Emax indirect-response model with Kout fixed to 1/day and Emax fixed to
1: TFV-DP inhibits dATP and dGTP (deoxypurines); FTC-TP inhibits dCTP
and TTP (deoxypyrimidines). The dGTP effect waned over time and is
described by an additional 1/(1+t^gamma) time factor. Sex is a covariate
on FTC plasma Vc/F and HIV-infection status is a covariate on FTC-TP Kf.
Intended for simulating analog:dNTP molar ratios (TFV-DP:dATP,
FTC-TP:dCTP) for various dosing strategies, e.g., the IPERGAY on-demand
PrEP regimen.

Tenofovir
prdi (Lu 2016)

tenofovir (300 mg oral TDF once daily) in HIV-1-uninfected African
adults receiving once-daily preexposure prophylaxis (Lu 2016, Partners
PrEP Study). PRDI variant: parameters estimated using patient-reported
dosing information with a steady-state assumption. Apparent oral
clearance (CL/F) carries a power-form covariate effect on creatinine
clearance (raw Cockcroft-Gault, mL/min) centred at the cohort median 106
mL/min. Diagonal IIV on CL/F only; combined additive + proportional
residual error.

Tesofensine
(Lehr 2010)
|
Joint parent (tesofensine) + metabolite (M1, CYP3A4-formed) population
PK and effect-compartment PK/PD model in mild Alzheimer’s disease (Lehr
2010 Phase IIa fit; 62 patients across two 4-week placebo-controlled
studies). Parent is one-compartment with first-order absorption (ka
FIXED from upstream Phase I popPK) and parallel elimination through a
metabolite-formation arm (CL_met = parent -> M1 flux) and a
non-formation arm (CL_non-met = elimination via routes other than M1
formation). M1 is one-compartment with apparent volume FIXED at
0.768-fold of the parent apparent volume (mouse-derived ratio, Lehr 2010
ref 17). Tesofensine and M1 each drive their own effect compartment
(shared keo FIXED at a small value, equivalent to a long
effect-equilibration half-life); the combined drug effect on ADAS-Cog
uses an extended Emax with competitive interaction in which the M1
effect-compartment concentration is divided by 5 to reflect the in-vivo
M1 potency one-fifth that of the parent (Lehr 2010 Methods, ref 17). The
ADAS-Cog observation equals the sum of drug, placebo, and
disease-progression contributions (change from each subject’s baseline).
The placebo bi-exponential model (onset rate keq, offset rate kel_pla,
scaling beta_pla) is fully FIXED to literature values from a published
large-AD-cohort placebo model (Lehr 2010 ref 34); the linear
disease-progression slope is FIXED at 6 ADAS-Cog points/year (Lehr 2010
ref 26). Emax is negative (a clinically meaningful ADAS-Cog improvement
is a score reduction); the sign is applied inside model() while |Emax|
is the ini-scale magnitude carried with multiplicative IIV.

for the Apnecut formulation (vs the in-house theophylline-alcohol
comparator) on CL/F.

ticagrelor-neutralising Fab antibody fragment MEDI2452 in mouse
(Almquist 2016). Three-compartment disposition for ticagrelor and TAM
(shared plasma V, tissue V1, V2; V1 in instantaneous equilibrium with
V); MEDI2452 lives in plasma V only and reversibly binds the free
fractions of ticagrelor and TAM with rate kon and dissociation constant
Kd; both free MEDI2452 and the two MEDI2452-drug complexes are
eliminated together at the Fab clearance Cl_f (no recycling).
Naive-pooled fit (no IIV); multiplicative log-normal residual error on
five plasma assays.

solution, PathoGenesis) after a single 1,200 ug intratracheal dose to
male Sprague-Dawley rats with chronic Burkholderia cepacia (strain BC
1368) pulmonary infection. NONMEM ADVAN4 (depot, central, peripheral)
parameterised in rate-constant form: first-order absorption ka into a
lung central compartment carrying drug amount (not concentration –
volumes of distribution were not fitted because the dependent variable
was the amount of tobramycin recovered from homogenised lung tissue,
calculated as the measured tissue concentration times the lung volume
per animal), inter-compartmental rate constants k12 and k21 between
central and peripheral, first- order elimination kel from central, and a
fitted lung bioavailability FL accounting for the fraction of the
intratracheal dose actually reaching the lung tissue compartment.
Comparator arm for Marier_2002_tobramycin_rat_liposomal; the
conventional formulation shows faster absorption, faster elimination,
and ~8-fold lower lung AUC than the liposomal formulation in the source
paper (Table 1, Results).

extruded) after a single 1,200 ug intratracheal dose to male
Sprague-Dawley rats with chronic Burkholderia cepacia (strain BC 1368)
pulmonary infection. NONMEM ADVAN4 (depot, central, peripheral)
parameterised in rate- constant form: first-order absorption ka into a

(Roberts 2016)
|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model for oral topotecan
lactone in infants and very young children with primary central nervous
system tumours (Roberts 2016). First-order absorption into a depot

centred on the cohort median (0.57 m^2); the ABCG2 rs4148157 G>A
variant (heterozygous AG or homozygous AA carriers pooled vs the GG
reference) carries an exponential covariate effect on the absorption
rate constant Ka, yielding an approximately 2-fold higher Ka in carriers
than in GG homozygotes.

Trastuzumab
LVEF (deVriesSchultink 2018)
|
Effect-compartment PD model for left-ventricular ejection fraction
(LVEF) decline during adjuvant trastuzumab treatment in HER2-positive
early breast cancer (de Vries Schultink 2018). Trastuzumab
pharmacokinetics are an inlined deterministic forcing function from the
previously published Bruno 2005 two-compartment linear popPK (de Vries
Schultink 2018 Methods: ‘The trastuzumab PK profiles were obtained using
fixed effect parameters from a previously published PK model for
HER2-positive breast cancer patients [18]’); typical population values
plus WT / HER2_ECD / MET_GE4 covariate effects are retained from Bruno
2005 Table 3. Cardiac damage is generated by cumulative trastuzumab
concentration via an effect compartment Ceff that integrates plasma
Ctrastuzumab and decays at rate log(2)/T1/2rec; LVEF declines through a
sigmoid Emax expression LVEF = LVEF0 * (1 - Ceff / (Ceff + EC50)), and
the EC50 is modulated by the per-subject peak post-anthracycline
troponin T (TROPONIN_T_MAX), with a higher TROPONIN_T_MAX lowering EC50
and increasing sensitivity to trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxic decline.

Triflusal
(Park 2014)
|
One-compartment population PK with first-order metabolite-formation
kinetics for the active triflusal metabolite hydroxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)
benzoic acid (HTB) in healthy Korean male volunteers, with a binary
probability PD model for inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA).
Triflusal is an antiplatelet prodrug; only HTB is measured analytically.
NONMEM ADVAN2 TRANS2 is used by the source paper – the canonical depot
compartment carries triflusal and the canonical first-order rate
constant (here lka) plays the role of the paper’s HTB
formation rate constant kf (0.341 1/h). Apparent oral clearance CL/F
(0.200 L/h at 71.65 kg) and apparent oral volume V/F (8.300 L at 71.65
kg) describe HTB disposition; F absorbs the unknown fraction of
triflusal converted to HTB. Body weight is the only retained covariate
and enters as a power on CL/F (exponent 0.845) and direct
proportionality on V/F (exponent fixed to 1). PD endpoint is binary IPA
= 1 when platelet aggregation < 74% else 0; the instantaneous
probability of IPA is a sigmoid Hill function of HTB concentration,
prob_ipa = Cc^gamma / (EC50^gamma + Cc^gamma), with EC50 = 84.9 ug/mL
and gamma = 19.2 (BSV on gamma fixed to 0). The Hill exponent is very
steep (quantal-like concentration-response). Parameter values from Park
2014 Table 2 Estimates column.

UnfractionatedHeparin
(Jia 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with first-order elimination for
unfractionated heparin (UFH) administered as multiple intravenous bolus
injections during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adult Chinese cardiac
surgery patients (Jia 2015). Plasma UFH exposure was inferred from
anti-FIIa chromogenic activity. No covariates were retained in the final
model (age, body weight, and sex were tested via forward inclusion /
backward elimination and none met the p < 0.001 retention threshold).
Concentrations are reported in IU/mL of anti-FIIa activity; doses are in
IU (1 mg UFH = 125 IU). The published model also describes instantaneous
neutralization of central-compartment UFH at protamine sulfate dosing
(see vignette for the simulation pattern); the structural ODEs here are
the standard two-compartment IV bolus form.

significant covariates retained in the final model: population (RA vs
healthy) on CL/F, sex on CL/F and Vc/F, baseline creatinine clearance on
CL/F (raw Cockcroft-Gault, not BSA-normalized), and total body weight on
Vc/F. ISV is reported separately for healthy subjects and RA patients on
CL/F and Vc/F, and is encoded here as paired healthy / RA structural
means with cohort-specific log-normal random effects gated by
DIS_HEALTHY.

exponent), CL scaled by Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance with a
power exponent (reference 120 mL/min), and intermittent hemodialysis
acts as a multiplicative factor on CL (0.7) and central volume (0.5).

Vancomycin
(Grimsley 1999)
|
One-compartment IV-infusion population PK model for vancomycin in
neonates and young infants (Grimsley 1999). Developed from routine
therapeutic-drug-monitoring data in 59 neonates (347 concentrations).
Clearance scales linearly with body weight and inversely with serum
creatinine concentration (CL = 3.56 * WT / CREAT, L/h, WT in kg, CREAT
in umol/L); central volume scales linearly with body weight (V = 0.669 *
WT, L/kg). The covariate-coupled CL form (no separately estimated
exponents) is reported by the paper as the entire structural model.

Vancomycin
(Ji 2017)
|
One-compartment IV (intermittent-infusion) population PK model for
vancomycin in Chinese adult patients (Ji 2017). Clearance is scaled by
raw Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance (centered linear term,
reference 80 mL/min) and by age (power of (75/age), reference 75 years);
the volume of distribution is a single typical value. Developed from
steady-state trough therapeutic-drug-monitoring data.

|
Vancomycin
(Li 2018)
|
One-compartment IV-infusion population PK model for vancomycin in
critically ill Chinese ICU neonates (Li 2018). CL scales allometrically
with body weight (reference 2.9 kg, exponent 1.55) and as an inverse
power of serum creatinine (reference 23.3 umol/L, exponent 0.337 on the
SCr_ref/SCr ratio). V scales allometrically with body weight (reference
2.9 kg, exponent 1.05). IIV is on CL only; residual error is
proportional.

(Moore 2016)
|
Two-compartment IV population PK model for vancomycin in adult patients
on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy (Moore 2016).
Linear (additive) covariate effects on CL (Cockcroft-Gault creatinine
clearance), Vc, and Vp (body weight), each centered on the cohort median
(CRCL 84 mL/min; WT 95 kg). Proportional residual error; IIV on CL and
Vc only (Q and Vp had no IIV).

Vancomycin
(Nielsen 2011)
|
In vitro (Streptococcus pyogenes M12 NCTC P1800). Semimechanistic PKPD
model of vancomycin time-kill kinetics; two-stage bacterial life-cycle
(proliferating drug-sensitive S and non-growing drug-insensitive R) with
sigmoidal Emax killing of S via an effect compartment; first-order drug
elimination (ke set per in vitro kinetic-system flow rate);
drug-specific degradation kdeg fixed at zero. Parameter values are from
the combined static and dynamic estimation in Table 3.

|
Vancomycin
(Roberts 2011)
|
One-compartment IV population PK model for vancomycin administered by
continuous infusion in adult septic critically ill ICU patients (Roberts
2011). Volume of distribution scales linearly with total body weight
(1.53 L/kg); clearance scales linearly with BSA-normalized 24-hour
urinary creatinine clearance referenced to 100 mL/min/1.73 m^2 (4.58 L/h
at the reference).
|
|
Vancomycin
(Zhao 2014)
|
One-compartment IV-infusion population PK model for vancomycin in 70
children with malignant hematological disease (Zhao 2014). Clearance
scales with body weight by power exponent (reference 20.2 kg, exponent
0.677) and with Schwartz-formula creatinine clearance by power exponent
(reference 191 mL/min/1.73 m^2, exponent 1.03); central volume scales
with body weight by power exponent (reference 20.2 kg, exponent 0.838).
Vancomycin clearance was substantially higher than in pediatric
populations without cancer; the published patient-tailored daily dose is
target AUC * CL_i.

Vedolizumab
(Rosario 2015)
|
Two-compartment population PK model for vedolizumab (humanised
anti-alpha4-beta7 integrin IgG1 monoclonal antibody) with parallel

Verapamil
rat (Syvanen 2011)
|
Preclinical (rat, male Sprague-Dawley). Population mixed-effects popPK
model for (R)-[11C]verapamil in plasma and whole-brain PET tissue, fit
by Syvanen et al. (2011, BMC Med Imaging) as part of a PET study
comparing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) functionality at the blood-brain barrier
between kainate-induced post-status-epilepticus rats (n = 22) and
saline-treated controls (n = 20), with paired tariquidar (15 mg/kg IV)
vs vehicle co-administration arms. The structural model is a
three-compartment plasma disposition (central + 2 peripherals) coupled
to a two-compartment brain model (brain_csf = fast-exchange brain
compartment connected to plasma via Qin in / Qout out; brain_deep =
deep-brain compartment exchanging with brain_csf via Qbr). Plasma curves
are complete-metabolite- corrected before fitting, so the model
describes intact (R)-[11C]verapamil kinetics only. Body weight is the
only continuous covariate (allometric on plasma CL, reference weight
0.3084 kg). Tariquidar co-administration multiplies Vp1 by 1.20, Vbr1 by
2.41, and Qin by 12.0; the kainate-induced post-SE state multiplies Vbr1
by 1.32 (no significant effect on Qin or Qout); both categorical effects
use the paper’s theta^COV multiplicative form (Equation 5).

Vinflunine
(Schmitt 2018)
|
Combined population PK / PD model for IV vinflunine in adult cancer
patients (Schmitt 2018, 18 phase I/II trials, n=372). Four-compartment
IV-infusion popPK with creatinine clearance, body surface area, body
weight, and PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin co-administration
covariates, plus a five-compartment Friberg-style semi-mechanistic
myelosuppression PD model for absolute neutrophil count (proliferation +
3 transit + circulation; linear drug effect 1 - slope*Cc on
proliferation; (circ0/circ)^gamma feedback).

Vismodegib
(Lu 2015)
|
Semi-mechanism-based one-compartment population pharmacokinetic model
for vismodegib (GDC-0449, oral Hedgehog pathway inhibitor) in adults
with advanced solid tumors and healthy volunteers. First-order
absorption, first-order elimination of unbound drug, and saturable
fast-equilibrium binding to alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) jointly
describe total and unbound plasma vismodegib concentrations. AAG is
supplied as a time-varying covariate (uM); covariates retained on
disposition are age (power on CLunbound, reference 60 years) and body
weight (power on Vc, reference 75 kg); formulation (Phase I dry-blend
capsule vs Phase II wet-granulation commercial capsule) and population
(healthy volunteer vs patient) shift Ka and relative bioavailability F
(Lu 2015).

Voriconazole
(Chen 2015)

(Friberg 2012)
|
Integrated population pharmacokinetic model for voriconazole in
children, adolescents, and adults (Friberg 2012). Two-compartment with
first-order oral absorption and mixed linear plus nonlinear
(Michaelis-Menten with time-dependent Vmax) elimination; allometric
scaling on all clearance terms (exponent 0.75) and on volumes (exponent
1.0) with 70 kg reference; population-specific Vmax,inh, Q, ka, and Alag
for children, adolescents, and adults; CYP2C19 heterozygous extensive or
poor metabolizer adults have fully blocked nonlinear clearance (Vmax,inh
= 100%).

Voriconazole
(Han 2010)
|
Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model with first-order
absorption and first-order elimination for intravenous and oral
voriconazole in adult lung transplant recipients during the early
postoperative period (Han 2010). Bioavailability is estimated for the
oral route. The base structural model is reported as the primary result;
three separate single-covariate sub-models – cystic fibrosis (CF) and
postoperative time (POT) on bioavailability, and body weight (WT) on
peripheral volume – are reported in the paper but were not combined into
a final model; the base-model typical-value parameter estimates are
encoded here, and the three covariate sub-models are reproduced in the
validation vignette.

Voriconazole
(Karlsson 2009)

|
One-compartment population pharmacokinetic model with first-order
absorption for intravenous and oral voriconazole in Chinese adult renal
transplant recipients receiving therapeutic drug monitoring (Lin 2018);
CYP2C19 phenotype enters as a covariate on clearance, postoperative time
as a covariate on oral bioavailability, and body weight as a power-form
covariate on volume of distribution.

|
Voriconazole
(Muto 2015)
|
Two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model with first-order
absorption (lag time, oral bioavailability) and parallel linear plus
time-dependent Michaelis-Menten elimination for voriconazole in 21
immunocompromised Japanese pediatric subjects (Muto 2015). Vmax declines
with time after the first dose toward Vmax * (1 - Vmax_inh) with
half-time T50; the maximum inhibition fraction Vmax_inh is fixed to 1
(full inhibition) for CYP2C19 heterozygous-extensive-metabolizer or
poor-metabolizer subjects and modeled on the logit scale otherwise.
Allometric scaling on all clearances (exponent 0.75) and all volumes
(exponent 1) to a 70 kg reference; oral bioavailability F1 is modeled on
the logit scale with a Manly-transformed log-normal random effect.

|
Warfarin
(Xia 2024)
|
K-PD warfarin PK/PD model for adult Han Chinese
(Alfalfa-Warfarin-PPK/PD; Xia 2024). PK parameters fixed from the
Hamberg model; PD EC50 re-estimated, with VKORC1 -1639 G/A and CYP2C9
1/2/*3 allele-specific contributions, body-weight power
scaling, and amiodarone effect on EC50. Two parallel coagulation-factor
transit chains drive INR.
|
|
Warfarin
vk2 (Zhou 2016)
|
Two-drug population PK/PD model for warfarin and intravenous vitamin K2
(menatetrenone) in Japanese adults with atrial fibrillation undergoing
catheter ablation. Warfarin and vitamin K2 each have a 1-compartment PK
with fixed volumes-of-distribution (Vd1 = 0.183 L/kg for warfarin from
Sato 2006; Vd3 = 0.051 L/kg for vitamin K2 from the Eisai product
information) and fixed warfarin elimination rate (k10 = 0.0129 1/h);
only the vitamin K2 elimination rate (k30) and the indirect-response PD
parameters (ks, kd, IC50, Emax, EC50) were estimated from 579 INR
observations in 100 patients. Warfarin inhibits clotting-factor
synthesis (Emax = 1 - Cp1/(Cp1 + IC50)) while vitamin K2 stimulates it
(1 + Emax_vk2 * Cp3/(Cp3 + EC50)); a binary renal-impairment indicator
(CREAT >= 1.1 mg/dL in men or >= 0.8 mg/dL in women) reduces IC50
to 61.4% of normal. The model predicts thrombotest (TT, %); INR is
recovered from TT via the Gogstad 1986 quadratic conversion (Equation
4).

Zenocutuzumab
(deVriesSchultink 2020)
|
Two-compartment population PK model with parallel linear and
Michaelis-Menten non-linear elimination from the central compartment for
intravenous zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128), a bispecific IgG1 (anti-HER2 x
anti-HER3) monoclonal antibody, in patients with various advanced solid
tumors (de Vries Schultink 2020)

|
Zidovudine
(Fauchet 2013)
|
One-compartment population PK model for oral zidovudine (ZDV) and its
glucuronide metabolite 3’-azido-3’-deoxy-5’-glucuronylthymidine (G-ZDV)
in HIV-1-infected children, infants, and adolescents (Fauchet 2013,
retrospective Paris-area therapeutic-drug-monitoring cohort, n = 247,
age 0.5-18 years). First-order absorption with a fixed ka = 2.86 1/h
(inherited from Panhard 2007) delivers ZDV into a one-compartment
central compartment with apparent total clearance CL_p/F and apparent
volume V/F. The metabolite is described by a single G-ZDV state driven
by a lumped metabolic formation rate constant CL_m/V_m and a first-order
metabolite elimination rate constant k_el. The metabolite distribution
volume V_m is not identifiable from plasma data alone and is set
structurally to 1 L (same convention used by Lee 2016 for raltegravir
glucuronide). Body weight enters as an estimated power-allometric
covariate on CL_p/F (exponent 0.858) and on V/F (exponent 0.534),
centered on the cohort median 32.2 kg; age, sex, dosage form, and
antiretroviral cotreatments (3TC, ddI, ABC, LPV, RTO, NFV, NVP, EFV)
were all tested and none was retained at p < 0.01.

Zika
FAV IFN RBV (PiresdeMello 2018)
|
In vitro (Vero cells). Translational mechanism-based pharmacodynamic
(MBM) model of Zika virus replication and inhibition by favipiravir
(FAV), interferon alpha (IFN), and ribavirin (RBV) as monotherapy and in
two-drug combinations. Eight-state model: uninfected (U) and infected
(I) host cells, five intracellular virus transit compartments (vi1..vi5)
capturing maturation delay, and extracellular virus (vextra) as the
observation output (log10 PFU/mL). IFN inhibits cellular infection via a
sigmoidal Hill function; FAV and RBV both inhibit the vi4 -> vi5
maturation transit; RBV additionally causes first-order cytotoxicity to
both uninfected and infected host cells. FAV+RBV antagonism is encoded
via a competitive-interaction factor PSI (= 1 monotherapy, = 1.37
combination). Drug concentrations are static covariates – the in vitro
experiment fixes nominal concentrations for the 4-day window. All
parameters fixed at the Table 1 point estimates; the between-curve CVs
reported in Table 1 are not encoded as etas (typical-value mechanism).

Zonisamide
(Hashimoto 1994)
|
Steady-state Michaelis-Menten population PK model for zonisamide in 68
Japanese epileptic patients (pediatric + adult) on chronic oral
zonisamide. A power-of-weight body-size factor scales both volume of
distribution and Vmax; concomitant carbamazepine multiplicatively
increases Vmax (Hashimoto 1994 Eqs. 1-4).
