Development of a Framework for Identifying Critical Input Parameters for Effective Pediatric PBPK/PBTK Modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-20)Within a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model framework, virtual children are built based on known trajectories of anatomy and physiology across age and a compounds transfer within the body is defined by ... -
In-Silico Methods for De-Risking the Clinical Development of Subcutaneously Administered Therapeutic Macromolecules
(University of Waterloo, 2016-07-27)Prediction of human pharmacokinetics (PK) following subcutaneous (SC) administration to animals is challenged by potential interspecies differences in skin anatomy and physiology. With respect to biologic or macromolecule ... -
Parameterization of In Silico Oral Disposition Models: Focus on Pediatrics
(University of Waterloo, 2017-03-16)Owing to their biologically relevant design, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models require quantitative knowledge of organism anatomy and physiology to facilitate appropriate parameterization. Within such ... -
Pediatric Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling to Advance Knowledge of Breastfeeding Infant Exposure to Maternal Medications
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-04)While there are benefits of breastfeeding to the maternal-infant pair, mothers taking medication may decide not to breastfeed amid unclear risks of exposing the infant to the drug through milk. Uncertainty arises mainly ... -
Pharmacokinetic and economic implications when switching between hemophilia A treatments
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-18)Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder in which the blood is unable to form clots, and is also classified as severe (defined as having an endogenous factor VIII [FVIII] concentration < 1 IU/dL, or 1%), moderate (1-5%) or mild ... -
Pharmacokinetic modelling of clinically relevant situations in the treatment of hemophilia A and B
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-03)Hemophilia is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of clotting factor VIII (FVIII; hemophilia A) or IX (FIX; hemophilia B). Severe hemophilia patients have less than 1% (or 1 IU/dL) of normal factor activity, ... -
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Monoclonal Antibodies in Children
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-25)The following thesis chapters chronicle evolving efforts throughout 2016 – 2021 to support research toward improving the pediatric clinical pharmacology of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Translating the benefits of successful ...
