21. Pharmacometric Models for Individualisation of Warfarin in Adults and Children
Sammanfattning : Warfarin is one of the most widely used anticoagulants. Therapy is complicated by warfarin’s narrow therapeutic range and pronounced variability in individual dose requirements. Although warfarin therapy is uncommon in children, it is crucial for children with certain congenital or acquired heart diseases. LÄS MER
22. Methodology for Handling Missing Data in Nonlinear Mixed Effects Modelling
Sammanfattning : To obtain a better understanding of the pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic characteristics of an investigated treatment, clinical data is often analysed with nonlinear mixed effects modelling. The developed models can be used to design future clinical trials or to guide individualised drug treatment. LÄS MER
23. Optimization of Colistin Dosage in the Treatment of Multiresistant Gram-negative Infections
Sammanfattning : As multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacilli increases, the old antibiotic colistin has rapidly gained attention as one of few last line treatment options in the form of colistin methanesulfonate (CMS), which is hydrolyzed to colistin both in vitro and in vivo. There is a dearth of knowledge on fundamental aspects of colistin, including pharmacokinetics and optimal dosing regimens. LÄS MER
24. Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic modeling and prediction of antibiotic effects
Sammanfattning : Problems of emerging antibiotic resistance are becoming a serious threat worldwide, and at the same time, the interest to develop new antimicrobials has declined. There is consequently a need for efficient methods to develop new treatments that minimize the risk of resistance development and that are effective on infections caused by resistant strains. LÄS MER
25. Mixed Effects Modeling of Deterministic and Stochastic Dynamical Systems - Methods and Applications in Drug Development
Sammanfattning : Mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are commonly used for describing the evolution of a system over time. In drug development, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) models are used to characterize the exposure and effect of drugs. LÄS MER
