A Systematic Review of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Models for Drugs Used in Chronic Pulmonary Diseases
摘要
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling offers an effective means to explore how disease-related pathophysiological variations affect drug pharmacokinetics (PK). This systematic review aims to evaluate and synthesize existing studies on PBPK models of drugs used in the treatment of chronic pulmonary diseases (CPDs).
Recent FindingsA total of twenty studies were identified across five databases, with the majority (55%) focusing on tuberculosis (TB). Genetic polymorphisms were the most frequently modeled variable in 35% of studies. All the studies reported good agreement between predicted PKs and observed clinical data. However, one study underpredicted results for three out of their four included drugs.
SummarySignificant progress has been made in PBPK modeling within pulmonary medicine, particularly in the research of TB drugs. However, there are inconsistencies in validation practices and the lack of a standardized tool for quality assessment in simulation studies, which remain as limitations in the field.
