Population pharmacokinetic analysis of sorafenib in patients with solid tumours Serge Guzy The PK Model • The final PPK model was a one compartment model with additional components describing the observed absorption delay and underlying enterohepatic circulation(EHC). • The initial delay in quantifiable plasma concentrations was adequately described by the GI transit compartments absorption model. Four transit compartments, each of them receiving drug from the antecedent and releasing drug into the subsequent The PK Model • transit compartment with a first order rate constant ka,accommodated the apparent lag time and a highly variable tmax. EHC was modelled with a semimechanistic model, where a fraction of drug from the central compartment (Fent) was hepatobiliary excreted (transferred) into a The PK Model • gall bladder compartment with a first order rate kb, which, in turn, periodically emptied drug into the last GI transit compartment at a first order rate of kEhc. For modelling purposes, Fent was logit transformed, to constrain its value between 0 and 1, and to allow typical parameters to be estimated as a continuous function (–infinity to +infinity). The periodic drug release from the gall bladder compartment was regulated by the on-off switch ‘Ehc The PK Model • associated with use of discontinuous functions such as step functions or lag times. t′ was the time of emptying. At times less than t′, the value of EHC was 0 and the gall bladder did not empty and at times greater than t′ the The PK Model • value of EHC was 1 and the gall bladder emptied. The remaining fraction in the central compartment (1 – Fent), was eliminated with a first order rate constant of ke, reflecting hepatic metabolism and any irreversible loss including the biliary loss which was not recirculated; ke was parameterized in terms of apparent clearance (CL/F) and volume of distribution (V/F).
