exam 4 Flashcards
in many cases, they disposition of therapeutic monoconal antibody drugs in non-linear due to target-mediated elimination. For a monoclonal antibody demonstrating this behavior, saturation of the target-mediated pathway would be expected to
lead to a decrease in CL of the monoclonal antibody
adminstration of high doses of IgG, as in IV IG therapy, may be expected to
increase the clearance of therapeutic IgG monoclonal antibodies
general expectations for antibody pk include
- good absorption following sq dosing
- good absorption following IM dosing
- bi-exponential disposition
what is INCORRECT regarding anti-adalimumab abx (AAA)
-AAA develop in ~80% of pts receiving long-term therapy - AAA are likely to increase the clearance of ALL therapeutic monoclonal antibodies
the major organ producing EOP is
kidneys
F of rHuEOP following subq admins
increases with dose
IV= decreases
clinical markers for EPO efficiency
- hematocrit
- RBC count
- hemoglobin concentration
some facts about warfarin
- S-warfarin is primarily metabolized by CYP2c9
- warfarin is highly protein bound, up to 99% mostly by albumin
- warfarin is rapidly & well absorbed in the GI tract
- R-warfarin exhibits a longer half-life than S-warfarin
- anticoagulation is not achieved until 4-5 days after initiation of warfarin
what is TMDD not a concern for the clinical dosing and monitoring of warfarin therapy?
-kinetics are nonlinear on first-dose but becomes dose-proportional on multiple dosing
factors that can affect the anticoagulant effects & dosing of warfarin
- co-admin with fluconazole
- genetic variation in the CYP2c9 gene
- genetic variation in the VCORC1 gene
- co-admin with rifampin
- warfarin cl decreasing with age
new England journal things (2)
- only one of the studies showed a statical difference supporting genotype-based warfarin dosing
- these trails addressed the initiation of warfarin therapy and not maintenance dosing
requirements for bayesian therapy
- a prior population pk/pd model
- feedback measurements of INR
- computer software featuring a bayesian algorithm
- the prescribed regimen and pt characteristics
figure with distribution pattern of S/R warfarin
-S-warfarin cl follows a bimodal log-normal distribution pattern
figure with pk of anti-human CD3 antibody in a pt at different occasions (1-10th day dosing lines)
- the antibody pk demonstrates notable inter-occasion variability
- the antibody pk demonstrates notable within-subject variability
kaplan-meier plot for overall survival of pts with primary CNS lymphoma
- pts with higher AUC values have longer survival time
- less than 25% of pts with lower AUC values survived following 5 years of MTX tx
- AUC vlue is a strong indicator for the efficiacy of MTX
- measurements of AUC value is a good therapeutic practice for the treatment of primary CNS lymphoma ptts with MTX
which of the following is a routinely used method for a priori determination of the dosage for chemotherapeutic drugs
- dose determination based on renal or liver function
- dose determination based on pts propensity for toxicity
- dose determination based on pts pharmacogenetics
- dose determination based on BSA or BW
q LSM can still be used if it is not prospectively validated using the same
- cancer indication
- brand names
what controls the terminal half-life of EPO following subq admin
absorption from the subq site
the major factor contributing to the clinical efficacy of EPO is
clearance
what is NOT required for bayesian adaptive control of individual pt warfarin regimens?
feedback measurements of warfarin plasma concentrations
