Abstract:
AIM:The investigations reported here aimed to evaluate the incremental benefit for dose finding by concentration-response analysis versus dose-response analysis. METHODS:Trials were simulated using an Emax model for a range of scenarios of drug properties, trial design options and target response levels. The simulated data were analysed by concentration-response and dose-response modelling; a dose was then chosen to target a specific response level in a confirmatory trial. The two approaches were compared in terms of the quality of model parameter estimation and the success rate for the confirmatory trial. RESULTS:While the accuracy for ED50 estimation was comparably good with both approaches, the precision was up to 90 % higher with concentration-response approach. The difference was most notable when clearance was highly variable between subjects and the top dose was relatively low. The higher precision by the concentration-response analysis lead to better dose selection and up to 20 % higher success rate for the subsequent confirmatory trial. The relatively small difference in success rate translated into a remarkable difference in sample size requirement. CONCLUSION:By customising these parameters, the approach and the findings can be applied to assessing the value of pharmacokinetic sampling in particular trial situations.
