DDMODEL00000261: Wilbaux_2015_KPD_CTC.count_PSA

Short description:
The purpose of this model was to quantify the dynamic relationships between the longitudinal kinetics of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and PSA during treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Data from 223 patients with mCRPC treated by chemotherapy and/or hormonotherapy were analyzed for up to 6 months of treatment. A semimechanistic model was built, combining the following several pharmacometric advanced features: (1) Kinetic-Pharmacodynamic (K-PD) compartments for treatments (chemotherapy and hormonotherapy); (2) a latent variable linking both marker kinetics; (3) modeling of CTC kinetics with a cell lifespan model; and (4) a negative binomial distribution for the CTC random sampling.

Modelling context description: | Assessment of treatment efficacy in metastatic castrationresistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is limited by the frequent development of nonmeasurable bone metastases. The count of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is emerging as a promising surrogate marker, which could replace the widely used prostate-specific antigen (PSA). CTC kinetic monitoring during treatment could be used to predict treatment efficacy in patients with mCRPC. However, relationships between the kinetics of CTCs and PSA have never been assessed. We built a semimechanistic population model of CTC and PSA kinetics during treatment.; |
