| Abstract | STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the premise of individualized dosing charts (IDCs) as a clinical-bedside decision-support tool to individualize dosage regimens for drugs in which the interpatient variability is controlled by the pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior of the patient, to calculate the optimal sampling schedule (OSS), which minimizes the number of blood samples per patient. The approach is illustrated with available PK data for gabapentin. DESIGN: Retrospective proof of principles study using gabapentin PK data from a published clinical trial. PATIENTS: Nineteen subjects in a trial designed to uncover the importance of the genetic contributions to variability in gabapentin absorption, renal elimination, and transport; subjects were monitored for 36 hours after administration of a single dose of gabapentin 400 mg, and plasma concentrations were determined at 14 time points. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: When the PK profiles were different between subjects, the IDCs are dramatically different from each other and from the IDC for an 'average' patient representing the patient population. The dose amount and dosing interval must be adjusted to maximize the probability of staying within the target concentration range. An optimal sampling methodology based on the assumption-free Bayesian approach is used to distinguish the PK profile of an individual patient from the patient population. In the case of gabapentin, only two optimally selected test blood samples, at 1.5 and 6 hours after administration of a single doses, were necessary. The average sensitivity and the average specificity of the OSS was 99% and 96%, respectively. CONCLUSION: IDCs display the risk of a patient violating the target concentration range for any dosage regimen. They can be used as a clinical-bedside decision-support tool in a patient-physician partnership to decide on a dose amount and dosing interval that are medically acceptable while practical and convenient to ensure compliance. By using the assumption-free Bayesian approach and the OSS, the number of samples required from a new patient to individualize the dosage regimen can be reduced significantly while preserving high levels of sensitivity and specificity. Prospective studies are being planned to validate the encouraging results. This approach can be extended to any drug if PK data and a target concentration range are available for either therapeutic drug monitoring or target concentration intervention. |

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.
