Importance of Stability Analysis When Using Nonlinear Semimechanistic Models to Describe Drug-Induced Hematotoxicity
CPT-PHARMACOMETRICS & SYSTEMS PHARMACOLOGY(2020)
Abstract
Stability analysis, often overlooked in pharmacometrics, is essential to explore dynamical systems. The model developed by Friberget al.(1)to describe drug-induced hematotoxicity is widely used to support decisions across drug development, and parameter values are often identified from observed blood counts. We use stability analysis to study the parametric dependence of stable and unstable solutions of several Friberg-type models and highlight the risks associated with system instability in the context of nonlinear mixed effects modeling. We emphasize the consequences of unstable solutions on prediction performance by demonstrating nonbiological system behaviors in a real case study of drug-induced thrombocytopenia. Ultimately, we provide simple criteria for identifying parameters associated with stable solutions of Friberg-type models. For instance, in the original Friberg model, we find that stability depends only on the parameter that governs the feedback from peripheral cells to progenitors and provide the exact range of values that results in stable solutions.
