| Abstract | For single-dose concentration–time data collected in clinical trials to be useful for explanatory pharmacokinetic (PK) or pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK–PD) analyses, the following two assumptions on the data must hold: (i) the times of the concentration (PK) observations are known, and (ii) the patient's recent past dosing history (times and amounts) is known. If either (or both) of these assumptions does not hold, and data analysis proceeds as if it did, biased estimates may result. Assumption (i) usually does hold as study personnel observe and record PK sampling times. Assumption (ii) is a problem when, as is often the case for outpatient studies, one must rely on patient recall for past dosing history. This paper presents a technique to avoid assumption (ii) by identifying for deletion those PK observation occasions likely exhibiting unreliable preceding dose histories. To so identify occasions, a Bayes objective function (posterior density) for the data is maximized in its parameters for each individual. The likelihood factor of this function is a mixture pharmacostatistical model expressing the likelihood of the observed concentration(s) under three mutually exclusive events: the prescribed dose preceding the occasion was not taken at all (NT), the prescribed dose was taken at the specified time (T), or the prescribed dose was taken at an unspecified time (U). Suspect observations are identified as those whose maximum corresponding likelihood component is other than T. The approach as defined here relies on the following assumptions in addition to (i): (ii) population PK (i.e., the distribution of PK parameters in the population being sampled) is known, at least approximately, (iii) PK samples (at least 1 or 2 per occasion) are available, (iv) doses taken are of the stated magnitude, and (v) the drug has a short half-life. Simulations reveal that especially when more than one PK sample is available per study occasion, the methodology chooses a set of PK observations that should perform better in subsequent explanatory analyses, or as a basis for estimating individual PK parameters, than do other simpler methods. |

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.
