Reduced and optimized trial designs for drugs described by a target mediated drug disposition model.

ABSTRACT: Monoclonal antibodies against soluble targets are often rich and include the sampling of multiple analytes over a lengthy period of time. Predictive models built on data obtained in such studies can be useful in all drug development phases. If adequate model predictions can be maintained with a reduced design (e.g. fewer samples or shorter duration) the use of such designs may be advocated. The effect of reducing and optimizing a rich design based on a published study for Omalizumab (OMA) was evaluated as an example. OMA pharmacokinetics were characterized using a target-mediated drug disposition model considering the binding of OMA to free IgE and the subsequent formation of an OMA-IgE complex. The performance of the reduced and optimized designs was evaluated with respect to: efficiency,
