MULTIPLE MODEL (MM) DESIGN of DRUG DOSAGE REGIMENS
for PLANNING, MONITORING, and ADJUSTING OPTIMALLY INDIVIDUALIZED DRUG
THERAPY for PATIENT

Dosage regimens based on parametric population models use single values
to describe each parameter distribution. When a target goal is selected,
the regimen is assumed to achieve it exactly. In contrast, MM dosage design
is based on nonparametric (NP) population models. These have up to one
set of parameter values for each subject studied in the population, each
with an estimated probability. With this more likely population model,
multiple predictions are possible. Using these NP models, one can compute
the MM dosage regimen which specifically minimizes the predicted weighted
squared error with which a target goal can be achieved.
When feedback from serum concentrations becomes available, each set of
parameter values in the NP prior has its probability recomputed. Using
that revised model, the new regimen to achieve the target with maximum
precision is again computed. In addition, a new Interacting Multiple Model
(IMM) sequential Bayesian method now estimates posterior densities when
parameter values have been changing during the analysis, as occurs with
acutely ill and unstable patients. These approaches have now been combined
into a new Windows software package, the MM-USC*PACK programs, for clinical
use. A three compartment linear model is used.
The library of population models currently includes Gentamicin, Tobramycin,
Netilmicin, Amikacin, Digoxin, Vancomycin, and Trimethoprim. Carbamazepine
and Carbamazepine Sustained Release are available for adults in the steady
state, Carbamazepine with Phenytoin, and Carbamazepine with Phenobarbital
for adults, in the steady state. There are also models for Valproate for
both adults and pediatric patients, and Sustained Release Valproate for
adults.
