Population pharmacokinetic meta-analysis method was used in order to obtain the pharmacokinetic characteristics of risperidone and its active metabolite. Eighteen studies were selected from published papers from 1995 to 2011. A model consisted of two compartments for parent drug and one compartment for its active metabolite combined with a flexible absorption process was developed based on the meta-dataset. The population-predicted apparent clearance for risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone, the active metabolite was 7.66 L/h and 7.38 L/h, and the apparent volume of distribution in the central compartment was 70.6 L and 117 L, respectively. The final model was evaluated by visual predictive check(VPC) based on 1000 times model simulation. This model was adequately used to predict clinical therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM) data from 42 Chinese inpatients. Bias(mean prediction errors, MPE) and precision(root mean squared prediction errors, RMSE) were calculated to statistically analysis the population prediction error. It was demonstrated that the model developed from the meta-dataset was reliable and can be used to facilitate the individualized treatment for a target population.
The epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)—tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs) monotherapies have limited efficacy in the treatment of EGFR mutation-negative non-small cell lung cancers(NSCLCs). In the present study, we aimed to investigate the combined effect of erlotinib(ER) and cabozantinib(CAB) on NSCLC cell lines harboring wild-type EGFR and to optimize the dosage regimens using pharmacodynamic(PD) modeling and simulation. Therefore, we examined the combined effect of ER and CAB on cell viability, cloning, apoptosis induction, migration and growth dynamics in H1299 and A549 cells. PD modeling and simulation were also performed to quantitatively describe the H1299 cells growth dynamics and to optimize the dosage regimens as well. Our results showed that CAB effectively enhanced the sensitivity of both cell lines to ER. The PD models fitted the data well, and some important parameters were obtained. The exponential(λ_0) and linear(λ_1) growth rates of H1299 cells were 0.0241 h^(–1) and 360 cells?h^(–1), respectively. The Emax of ER and CAB was 0.0091 h^(–1) and 0.0085 h^(–1), and the EC50 was 0.812 μM and 1.16 μM, respectively. The synergistic effect observed in the experiments was further confirmed by the estimated combination index φ(1.37),(95% confidence interval: 1.24–1.50), obtained from PD modeling. Furthermore, the dosage regimens were optimized using simulations. In summary, both the experimental and modeling results demonstrated the synergistic interaction between ER and CAB in NSCLCs without EGFR mutations. Sequential combinations of ER and CAB provided an option for the therapy of the NSCLCs with wild-type EGFR, which would provide some references for preclinical study and translational research as well.
