Aim: Several studies have reported population pharmacokinetic models for phenobarbital (PB), but the predictive performance of these models has not been well documented. This study aims to do external validation of the predictive performance in published pharmacokinetic models. Methods: Therapeutic drug monitoring data collected in neonates and young infants treated with PB for seizure control, was used for external validation. A literature review was conducted through PubMed to identify population pharmacokinetic models. Prediction- and simulation-based diagnostics, and Bayesian forecasting were performed for external validation. The incorporation of size or maturity functions into the published models was also tested for prediction improvement. Results: A total of 79 serum concentrations from 28 subjects were included in the external validation dataset. Seven population pharmacokinetic studies of PB were selected for evaluation. The model by Voller et al. [27] showed the best performance concerning prediction-based evaluation. In simulation-based analyses, the normalized prediction distribution error of two models (those of Shellhaas et al. [24] and Marsot et al. [25]) obeyed a normal distribution. Bayesian forecasting with more than one observation improved predictive capability. Incorporation of both allometric size scaling and maturation function generally enhanced the predictive performance, but with marked improvement for the adult pharmacokinetic model. Conclusion: The predictive performance of published pharmacokinetic models of PB was diverse, and validation may be necessary to extrapolate to different clinical settings. Our findings suggest that Bayesian forecasting improves the predictive capability of individual concentrations for pediatrics.

Several population pharmacokinetic models describe the dose-exposure relationship of tobramycin in pediatric patients. Before the implementation of these models in clinical practice for dosage adjustment, their predictive performance should be externally evaluated. This study tested the predictive performance of all published population pharmacokinetic models of tobramycin developed for pediatric patients with an independent patient cohort. A literature search was conducted to identify suitable models for testing. Demographic and pharmacokinetic data were collected retrospectively from the medical records of pediatric patients who had received intravenous tobramycin. Tobramycin exposure was predicted from each model. Predictive performance was assessed by visual comparison of predictions to observations, by calculation of bias and imprecision, and through the use of simulation-based diagnostics. Eight population pharmacokinetic models were identified. A total of 269 concentration-time points from 41 pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis were collected for external evaluation. Three models consistently performed best in all evaluations and had mean errors ranging from −0.4 to 1.8 mg/liter, relative mean errors ranging from 4.9 to 29.4%, and root mean square errors ranging from 47.8 to 66.9%. Simulation-based diagnostics supported these findings. Models that allowed a two-compartment disposition generally had better predictive performance than those that used a one-compartment disposition model. Several published models of the pharmacokinetics of tobramycin showed reasonable low levels of bias, although all models seemed to have some problems with imprecision. This suggests that knowledge of typical pharmacokinetic behavior and patient covariate values alone without feedback concentration measurements from individual patients is not sufficient to make precise predictions.

Adalimumab is a monoclonal antibody used for inflammatory bowel disease. Due to its considerably variable pharmacokinetics, the loss of response and the development of anti-antibodies, it is highly recommended to use a model-informed precision dosing approach. The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive performance of different population-pharmacokinetic models of adalimumab for inflammatory bowel disease to determine the pharmacokinetic model(s) that best suit our population to use in the clinical routine. A retrospective observational study with 134 patients was conducted at the General University Hospital of Alicante between 2014 and 2019. Model adequacy of each model was evaluated by the distribution of the individual pharmacokinetic parameters and the NPDE plots whereas predictive performance was assessed by calculating bias and precision. Moreover, stochastic simulations were performed to optimize the maintenance doses in the clinical protocols, to reach the target of 8 mg/L in at least 75% of the population. Two population-pharmacokinetic models were selected out of the six found in the literature which performed better in terms of adequacy and predictive performance. The stochastic simulations suggested the benefits of increasing the maintenance dose in protocol to reach the 8 mg/L target.

ABSTRACT Dosing of vancomycin is often guided by therapeutic drug monitoring and population pharmacokinetic models in the intensive care unit (ICU). The validity of these models is crucial, as ICU patients have marked pharmacokinetic variability. Therefore, we set out to evaluate the predictive performance of published population pharmacokinetic models of vancomycin in ICU patients. The PubMed database was used to search for population pharmacokinetic models of vancomycin in adult ICU patients. The identified models were evaluated in two independent data sets which were collected from two large hospitals in the Netherlands (Amsterdam UMC, Location VUmc, and OLVG Oost). We also tested a one-compartment model with fixed values for clearance and volume of distribution, in which a clinical standard dosage regimen (SDR) was mimicked to assess its predictive performance. Prediction error was calculated to assess the predictive performance of the models. Six models plus the SDR model were evaluated. The model of Roberts et al. (J. A. Roberts, F. S. Taccone, A. A. Udy, J.-L. Vincent, F. Jacobs, and J. Lipman, Antimicrob Agents Chemother 55:2704–2709, 2011, https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.01708-10) performed satisfactorily, with mean and median values of prediction error of 5.1% and −7.5%, respectively, for Amsterdam UMC, Location VUmc, patients, and −12.6% and −17.2% respectively, for OLVG Oost patients. The other models, including the SDR model, yielded high mean values (−49.7% to 87.7%) and median values (−56.1% to 66.1%) for both populations. In conclusion, only the model of Roberts et al. was able to validly predict the concentrations of vancomycin for our data, whereas other models and standard dosing were largely inadequate. Extensive evaluation should precede the adoption of any model in clinical practice for ICU patients.
