POST-CONGRESS WORKSHOP 

 

Pharmacometric Tools for Maximally Precise Individualized Drug Therapy: Population PK/PD Modelling, Four types of Bayesian Adaptive Control, and Active "Dual" Control 

 

Friday, October 9 & Saturday, October 10, 2009 

 

This course is intended for physicians, pharmacists, clinical toxicologists and biomedical scientists with an interest in therapeutic drug monitoring, in population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling, and in optimal individualization of drug therapy for patient care. Prior experience in clinical pharmacokinetics will be an advantage. Participants will be introduced to the new MM-USC*PACK software, which will be compared with other approaches. This library of tools provides optimal approaches for clinical therapeutic drug monitoring as well as for nonparametric population PK/PD and physiological modeling. 

 

Participants are encouraged to bring their laptop computers to the workshop, and to download and install, in the days prior to the workshop, the demonstration software from our web site (www.lapk.org, click on software), so they can do the hands-on parts of the workshop with us.  

 

 

Faculty: 

Dr. Roger Jelliffe, USC Laboratory of Applied Pharmacokinetics 

Dr. Juergen Bulitta, Ordway Research Center, Albany, NY 

Dr. George Drusano, Ordway Research Center, Albany, NY 

Dr. Michael Neely, USC Laboratory of Applied Pharmacokinetics 

Dr. Sander Vinks, University of Cincinnati  

 

 

Objectives and Expectations: 

After this workshop the participant should: 

  • Understand the General approach to Target-Oriented, Model Based, Individualized Drug Therapy;
  • Understand the Clinical capabilities of Nonparametric Population Modeling;
  • Understand the need for using assay standard deviation rather than CV% in reporting lab errors;
  • Understand Multiple Model, maximally precise, Dosage Design;
  • Understand the four types of Bayesian individualization of Pharmacokinetic Models, and when to use them;
  • Become acquainted with models of bacterial growth and kill;
  • Be acquainted with new approaches to optimize learning about the patient while treating him/her at the same time;
  • Be aware of recent improved outcomes using Bayesian adaptive control;
  • Apply these concepts to optimize practical therapy with Aminoglycosides, Vancomycin, Digoxin, HAART, and other drugs.
