1. β-lactam combinations against multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales : Exploring combination effects and resistance development
Sammanfattning : The β-lactam antibiotics are a cornerstone in treating bacterial infections, but the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance worldwide threatens their effectiveness. The main driver of β-lactam resistance is the production of β-lactamases, which are bacterial enzymes that inactivate the antibiotic. LÄS MER
2. Data-driven modeling of combination therapy in oncology
Sammanfattning : This thesis contains two manuscripts: Tumor Static Concentration Curves in Combination Therapy and Extending the Tumor Static Concentration Curve to Exposure - A Combination Therapy Example with Radiation Therapy. There is also an introductory chapter presenting some basic facts necessary to understand the appended manuscripts. LÄS MER
3. Nonlinear Mixed Effects Modeling of Combination Therapies in Oncology
Sammanfattning : It has been shown that simultaneous administration of two or more anticancer agents can have a beneficial effect on cancer patients. This type of treatment is called combination therapy and is nowadays commonly used in the fight against cancer. LÄS MER
4. Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Antibiotics and Bacterial Drug Resistance
Sammanfattning : Exposure to antibiotics is an important factor influencing the development of bacterial resistance. In an era where very few new antibiotics are being developed, a strategy for the development of optimal dosing regimen and combination treatment that reduces the rate of resistance development and overcome existing resistance is of utmost importance. LÄS MER
5. Modeling of combination therapy to support drug discovery in oncology
Sammanfattning : Mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations, with impulses, are used to describe tumor growth after different treatment combinations, including chemicals as well as radiation. The models are calibrated, using a nonlinear mixed-effects framework, based on time series data of tumor volume from animal experiments. LÄS MER
