Variability and singularity arising from poor compliance in a pharmacokinetic model II: the multi-oral case.

چکیده
We propose a stochastic model for the drug concentration in the case of multiple oral doses and in a situation of poor patient adherence. Our model is able to take into account an irregular drug intake schedule. This article is the second in a series of three. It presents a multi-oral version of the results given in Lévy-Véhel and Lévy-Véhel (J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn 40(1):15-39, 2013), that dealt with the multi-IV bolus case. Under the assumption that the irregular dosing schedule follows a Poisson law, we study features of the drug concentration that have practical implications, such as its variability and the regularity of its cumulative probability distribution, which describes its predictive power with respect to the mean behaviour. We consider four variants: continuous-time, with either deterministic or random doses, and discrete-time, also with either deterministic or random doses. Our computations allow one to assess in a precise way the effect of various significant parameters such as the mean rate of intake, the elimination rate, the absorption rate and the mean dose. They quantify how much poor adherence will affect the efficacy of therapy. To appreciate this impact, we provide detailed comparisons with the variability of concentration in two reference situations: a fully adherent patient and a population of fully adherent patients with log-normally distributed pharmacokinetic parameters. Besides, the discrete-time versions of our models reveal unexpected links with objects which have been studied in the mathematical literature under the name of infinite Bernoulli convolutions (Erdós, Am J Math 61:974-975, 1939). This allows us to quantify the fact that, when the random dosing schedule is too sparse, the concentration behaves in a very erratic way. Our results complement the ones in Lévy-Véhel and Lévy-Véhel (J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn 40(1):15-39, 2013) and help understanding the consequences of poor adherence. They may have practical outcomes in terms of drug dosing and scheduling.

A primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a squamous cell carcinoma arising within the jawbone andshould be differentiated from a malignant ameloblastoma. It is not due to arising from an odontogenic cyst or tumor. The possibility of the lesion being a metastasis fromanotherprimary site should be considered, and excluded by a careful history and examination. The diagnosis of a PIOC is ra...

Contraceptive patches have become a frequently used contraceptive method. We present a mathematical model that describes the serum concentration profiles of Norelgestromin (NGMN) and Ethinylestradiol (EE) released from the contraceptive patch Ortho Evra®. We propose a simple one-compartment model based on pharmacokinetics data reported in previous studies. The model assumes a time-dependent rel...
