PK/PD models

PK/PD modeling (pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling) (alternatively abbreviated as PKPD[1] or PK-PD[2] modeling) is a technique that combines the two classical pharmacologic disciplines of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.[3] It integrates a pharmacokinetic and a pharmacodynamic model component into one set of mathematical expressions that allows the description of the time course of effect intensity in response to administration of a drug dose. PK/PD modeling is related to the field of pharmacometrics.

There are a variety of PK/PD modeling approaches to describe exposure-response relationships. PK/PD relationships can be described by simple equations such as linear model, Emax model or sigmoid Emax model.[4] However, if a delay is observed between the drug administration and the drug effect, a temporal dissociation needs to be taken into account and more complex models exist:[5][6]

  • Direct vs Indirect link PK/PD models
  • Direct vs Indirect response PK/PD models[7]
  • Time variant vs time invariant
  • Cell lifespan models
  • Complex response models

PK/PD modeling has its importance at each step of the drug development[8][9] and it has shown its usefulness in many diseases.[10] The Food and Drug Administration also provides guidances for Industry to recommend how exposure-response studies should be performed .
