Dear all,
Just a short note:
There is still a relationship between CL and half-lives for a =
two-compartmental model although not as simple as for a one =
compartmental model.
For a two-compartmental model you can derive the two half-lives =
(t1/2alpha and t1/2 beta) through either estimates of macro (CL, V2, V3, =
Q) or micro constants (K10,K21,K12) through (2 comp iv model):
K10=CL/V1
K12=Q/V1
K21=Q/V2
SUM=K10+K12+K21
ROOT=SQRT(SUM*SUM-4*K21*K10)
Alpha=0.5*(SUM+ROOT)
Beta=0.5*(SUM-ROOT)
t1/2alpha=LN(2)/Alpha
t1/2beta=LN(2)/Beta
Best regards,
Ulrika

I did not see the data but could you envisage that you have may be model =
misspecification. Half life relationship to clearance applies for =
example to the one compartmental model assumption. What if you have =
multiple half lives? I would not expect a simple relationship between a =
model using one half life with clearance when the true model has =
multiple one.
As far as I know the non compartmental relationship applies to clerance =
with volume and elimination rate and assumes linear kinetics.

Subject: [NMusers] Dilemma with PPK parameters
Dear Group:
I am seeking some help to logically explain the difference in CL of a =
drug between 2 groups who received the same drug for the same indication =
but one group had induced hypothermia (treatment-N=24) while the =
other did not (control-N=115).
The half life for control- 111hrs and treatment 129 hrs (roughly)- not =
statistically different.
However, the parameters:
Control Group Treatment group
CL- 0.000105 L/kg/hr (suspect) CL- 0.00467 L/kg/hr
Vd -0.733 L/kg Vd 0.876 L/Kg
I used the same model for both groups and the half life calc was part of =
the model. I have run the model for both multiple times using various =
theta values. each time the minimization is complete. The bootstrap for =
treatment group gives reasonably good agreement. The bootstrap for =
control parameters match well for Cl (0.000273 L/kg/hr) but not for Vd =
(0.416 L/kg).
Given the relationship between Vd and CL how is this possible? How can =
the half life be so close when there is such a huge difference in CL for =
both groups? Where am I going wrong?
Would appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks!!
