| Abstract | Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease resulting from increased bone resorption and characterized by low bone mass that leads to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture, particularly of the hip, spine and wrist. Bone resorption is dependent on receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL), which binds to RANK receptor on preosteoclasts to initiate osteoclastogenesis and maintains osteoclast function and survival. To neutralize the effects of RANKL, the body naturally produces the protein osteoprotegerin (OPG), which acts as a decoy receptor for RANKL and contributes to bone homeostasis. We describe the piecewise development of a three-compartment pharmacokinetic model with both linear and Michaelis–Menten eliminations, and an indirect pharmacodynamic response model to describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, respectively, of the fusion protein, Fc-osteoprotegerin (Fc-OPG), in healthy postmenopausal women. Subsequently, model verification was performed and used to address study design questions via simulation. The model was developed using data from eight cohorts (n = 13 subjects/cohort; Fc-OPG:placebo = 10:3) classified by dose level (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, or 3.0 mg/kg) and route of administration (intravenous [IV] or subcutaneous [SC]). Fc-OPG serum concentrations and urinary N-telopeptide/creatinine ratios (NTX) following both IV and SC administration were available. The model provided an adequate fit to the observed data and physiologically plausible parameter estimates. Model robustness was tested via a posterior predictive check with the model performing well in most cases. Subsequent clinical trial simulations demonstrated that a single 3.0-mg/kg SC dose of Fc-OPG would be expected to produce, at 14 days post-dose, a median NTX percentage change from baseline of −45% (with a 95% prediction interval ranging from −34% to −60%). Lastly, model ruggedness was evaluated using local and global sensitivity analysis methods. In conclusion, the model selection and simulation strategies we applied were rigorous, useful, and easily generalizable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
