The quest for balance between capturing data and model complexity: A quantitative clinical pharmacology approach applied to monoclonal antibodies.

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this tutorial is to provide the readers with a roadmap of how to establish increasingly complex target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) models for monoclonal antibodies. To this end, we built mathematical models, each with a detailed visualization, starting from the basic TMDD model by Mager and Jusko to the well-established, physiologically based model by Li et al. in a step-wise fashion to highlight the relative importance of key physiological processes that impact mAb kinetics and system dynamics. As the models become more complex, the question of structural and parameter identifiability arises. To address this question, we work through a trastuzumab case example to guide the modeler's choice for model and parameter optimization in light of the context of use. We l
