There is significant inter-individual variation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacody-namics in patients receiving tacrolimus(TAC)for an-ti-rejection therapy,which cause the rejection or toxic action.Based on results of therapeutic drug monitoring and pathophysiological index of trans-plant patients,the individualized dosing regimen can be designed and adjusted by using model in-formed precision dosing(MIPD).The patients'clini-cal outcome can be improved.In the consensus,the different methods of MIPD used for patients re-ceived TAC for anti-rejection therapy were intro-duced,which can be used for the designing and ad-justing doing regimen,predicting adverse drug reac-tion,improving medication adherence and econom-ics during therapy.

Model informed precision dosing for warfarin is to provide individualized dosing by integrating information related to patient characteristics, disease status and pharmacokinetics /pharmacodynamics of warfarin, through mathematical modeling and simulation techniques based on the quantitative pharmacology. Compared with empirical dosing, it can improve the safety, effectiveness, economy, and adherence of pharmacotherapy of warfarin. This consensus report describes the commonly used modeling and simulation techniques for warfarin, their application in developing and adjusting dosing regimens, medication adherence and economy. Moreover, this consensus also elaborates the detailed procedures for the implementation in the warfarin pharmacy service pathway to facilitate the development and application of model informed precision dosing for warfarin.

Model informed precision dosing (MIPD) is a new concept to guide precision dosing for individual patient by modeling and simulation based on the available information about the individual patient, medications and the disease. Compared to the empirical dosing, MIPD could improve the efficacy, safety, economics and adherence of the pharmacotherapy according to the individual's pathophysiology, genotyping and disease progression. This consensus report provides a brief account of the concept, methodology and implementation of MIPD as well as clinical decision supporting systems for MIPD. The status and future advancing of MIPD was also discussed to facilitate the appropriate application and development of MIPD in China.

Objective To investigate the effect of age,gender,weight and UGT1A4142T>G gene poly-morphism on the efficacy of LTG in epileptic children treated with valproic acid ,and to determine the effective se-rum concentration of LTG in children with epilepsy in south China. Methods A total of 72 pediatric patients with epilepsy received LTG and VPA treatments were enrolled in this study. Patients were treated from January 2010 to September 2016 in Guangzhou women and childrens′medical center. Serum concentration of LTG was measured by using the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. UGT1A4142T > G was genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The correlations between the efficacy of LTG and age,gender,weight were analyzed by chi-square test,non-parametric test and logistic regression analysis,respec-tively. Results The curative effect of patients who were younger and with lighter weight were relatively poor ,and men were better than women in the curative effect. UGT1A4142T > G was not related with LTG efficacy. When combined with VPA,the effective serum concentration of LTG in children with epilepsy was more than 2 g/mL. Conclusion There is a good correlation between age and LTG curative effect. The effective serum concentration of LTG in children with epilepsy,who were co-treated with VPA,was more than 2 g/mL. This study provides a refer-ence for the individual administration of children with epilepsy in south China.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of UGT1A4142T>G polymorphism and blood concentration of valproic ac-id(VPA)on blood concentration of lamotrigine(LTG)in southern Chinese Han children with epilepsy,and to establish the predic-tion equation for quantitatively estimating blood concentration of LTG. METHODS:A total of 72 southern Chinese Han children with epilepsy selected from Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center during Jan. 2010-Sept. 2016 were given LTG+VPA. LC-MS/MS and enzyme amplified immunoassay were adopted to determine the blood concentration of LTG and VPA. RFLP-PCR was adopted to determine UGT1A4142T>G polymorphism. The relationships of age, gender, blood concentration of VPA, UGT1A4142T>G polymorphism and LTG concentration-to-dose-ratio (CDR) were also investigate. The prediction equation for blood concentration of LTG was established by multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS:Age and blood concentration of VPA were positively related to CDR of LTG(r=0.225,0.300,P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in the influence of gender on CDR of LTG(P>0.05). UGT1A4 TT,TG and GG genotypes were detected in 39,29,and 4 cases respectively;the frequencies of each genotype were in line with the Har-dy-Weinberg balance(P>0.05). CDR of LTG of TT genotype was significantly lower than those of TG and GG genotype,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). Results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the dose of LTG(x1),body weight(x2), blood concentration of VPA(x3)and UGT1A4142T>G polymorphism(x4)were all related to blood concentration of LTG(P<0.05). Using blood concentration of LTG(c)as dependent variable,above factors as independent variable,the regression equation was c=0.794+0.032x1-0.057x2+0.010x3+0.532x4(R2=0.616,P<0.05;UGT1A4 TT genotype was equal to 0,TG and GG genotype was equal to 1). There was a strong positive correlation between predicted blood concentration and measured ones(r=0.785,P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS:The dose of LTG,body weight,blood concentration of VPA and UGT1A4142T>G polymorphism may associated with blood concentration of LTG. Established prediction equation can provide reference for precise medication in south-ern Chinese Han children with epilepsy.

Pharmacometrics,developed from the conventional pharmacokinetics,is the science of applying mathe-matical and statistical methods to characterize,understand,and predict a drug's pharmacokinetic,phannacodyna-mic,and biomarker-outcome behaviors.Pharmacometrics has been widely valued for its utility of modeling and simulation in drug research and development,therapeutic drug monitoring and individualized therapy.This paper reviewed the advances of pharmacometrics employed in new drug research and development and therapeutic drug monitoring both at home and abroad.
