# Population

The Yukawa 2002 cohort comprised 137 unique Japanese epileptic patients
contributing 259 steady-state serum clonazepam concentrations (Table II,
page 83). Patients had been on chronic oral clonazepam for at least one
month before the analysis window, with two or three divided doses per day
(tablet or fine-granule preparation) and routine TDM sampling at 2-6 hours
post-morning-dose. Patient-periods are stratified by concomitant
antiepileptic drug (AED) co-medication:

| Tier              | Patient-periods | Observations | Weight (kg, mean +/- SD) | Daily dose (ug/kg/d, mean +/- SD) |
|-------------------|-----------------|--------------|--------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| Monotherapy       | 31              | 53           | 31.3 +/- 16.9            | 33.6 +/- 19.9                     |
| Polytherapy (A): CZP + {CBZ, VPA} | 62  | 95           | 24.5 +/- 13.8            | 38.3 +/- 20.9                     |
| Polytherapy (B): CZP + >=2 AEDs   | 67  | 111          | 34.7 +/- 17.0            | 44.9 +/- 26.0                     |

The 137 unique patients sum across regimen-change occasions to 160 patient-
periods. Age span 0.3-28 years across the three tiers; all subjects had
normal renal and hepatic function. The full population metadata is exposed
programmatically via `readModelDb("Yukawa_2002_clonazepam_pediatric")$population`.

# Virtual cohort

The published trial data are not available; the simulated cohort below
samples body weights from each tier's reported normal-ish distribution
(Table II), truncated to the observed range. Daily doses are sampled from
the tier-mean +/- SD reported in Table II, divided TID (q8h) per the
paper's "two to three times a day" prescribing pattern.

```{r cohort}
set.seed(20020181L)

The event table simulates a steady-state q8h dose using `rxode2::et(ss = 1)`
so each subject's `depot` and `central` start at their steady-state values
before the dose at time 0. Concentrations are sampled across the [0, 8 h]
dosing interval at 0.1 h resolution to give PKNCA a dense profile.

```{r events}
sample_grid <- seq(0, 8, by = 0.1)

    one <- as.data.frame(.)

# Replicate published figures

## Figure 2 -- Clearance vs total body weight by tier

Figure 2 of Yukawa 2002 (page 85) plots typical CL (ml/kg/h) against total
body weight for the three comed tiers. We reconstruct it directly from
the model's typical-value formula, varying TBW from 5 to 80 kg.

```{r figure-2, fig.width = 7, fig.height = 4}
fig2 <- tidyr::expand_grid(
  WT   = seq(5, 80, by = 1),
  tier = c("Monotherapy", "Polytherapy (A)", "Polytherapy (B)")
) |>
  dplyr::mutate(
    dif = dplyr::case_when(
      tier == "Monotherapy"     ~ 1,
      tier == "Polytherapy (A)" ~ 1.18,
      tier == "Polytherapy (B)" ~ 2.12 * WT^(-0.119)
    ),
    cl_per_kg = 152 * WT^(-0.181) * dif  # ml/kg/h (paper's parameterisation)
  )

ggplot(fig2, aes(WT, cl_per_kg, color = tier)) +
  geom_line(linewidth = 1) +
  labs(
    x       = "Total body weight (kg)",
    y       = "Typical CL/F (ml/kg/h)",
    color   = "Comed tier",
    title   = "Figure 2 -- CL/F vs total body weight by tier",
    caption = "Replicates Figure 2 of Yukawa 2002. Paper Discussion (page 85) notes the monotherapy curve spans 69-100 ml/kg/h across 10-80 kg; the computed curve matches."
  ) +
  theme(legend.position = "bottom")
```

The monotherapy curve crosses 100 ml/kg/h at TBW = 10 kg and 69 ml/kg/h at
TBW = 80 kg, matching the paper's narrative on page 85.

## Figure 4 -- Drug-interaction factor vs body weight for the >=2-AED tier

```{r figure-4, fig.width = 6, fig.height = 4}
fig4 <- tibble(WT = seq(5, 80, by = 1)) |>
  dplyr::mutate(dif_ge2 = 2.12 * WT^(-0.119))

ggplot(fig4, aes(WT, dif_ge2)) +
  geom_line(linewidth = 1) +
  geom_hline(yintercept = 1.18, linetype = "dashed", color = "grey50") +
  annotate("text", x = 70, y = 1.22, label = "Polytherapy (A) DIF = 1.18", color = "grey40", hjust = 1) +
  labs(
    x       = "Total body weight (kg)",
    y       = "DIF for the >=2-AED tier",
    title   = "Figure 4 -- DIF vs total body weight for Polytherapy (B)",
    caption = "Replicates Figure 4 of Yukawa 2002. DIF = 2.12 * TBW^(-0.119)."
  )
```

The polytherapy-B DIF descends from ~1.66 at 5 kg through ~1.43 at 30 kg to
~1.31 at 70 kg, intersecting the polytherapy-A DIF = 1.18 plateau outside
the observed weight range; in the cohort the >=2-AED tier always carries
the larger comed factor.

# PKNCA validation

At steady state with constant TID dosing and `F = 1`, AUC0-tau equals
`per_dose_mg / cl`, so PKNCA-derived AUC0-tau back-recovers each subject's
realised total CL. We compute simulated CL from `dose / AUC0-tau` and
compare against each subject's paper-predicted typical CL.

```{r pknca}
sim_nca <- sim |>
  dplyr::filter(!is.na(Cc)) |>
  dplyr::select(id, time, Cc, tier, WT, per_dose_mg)

# Guarantee a time=0 row per (id, tier); for SS the row already exists at t=0,
# but the bind_rows + distinct pattern is the defensive idiom.
sim_nca <- dplyr::bind_rows(
  sim_nca,
  sim_nca |>
    dplyr::distinct(id, tier, WT, per_dose_mg) |>
    dplyr::mutate(time = 0, Cc = 0)
) |>
  dplyr::distinct(id, tier, time, .keep_all = TRUE) |>
  dplyr::arrange(id, tier, time)

conc_obj <- PKNCA::PKNCAconc(
  sim_nca,
  Cc ~ time | tier + id,
  concu = "ng/mL",
  timeu = "h"
)

dose_df <- cohort |>
  dplyr::select(id, tier, per_dose_mg) |>
  dplyr::mutate(time = 0, amt = per_dose_mg)

dose_obj <- PKNCA::PKNCAdose(dose_df, amt ~ time | tier + id, doseu = "mg")

intervals <- data.frame(
  start    = 0,
  end      = 8,
  cmax     = TRUE,
  tmax     = TRUE,
  cmin     = TRUE,
  auclast  = TRUE,
  cav      = TRUE
)

nca_res <- PKNCA::pk.nca(PKNCA::PKNCAdata(conc_obj, dose_obj, intervals = intervals))
nca_summary <- summary(nca_res, drop.group = "id")
nca_summary
```

# Comparison against paper-predicted clearance

We back-compute the simulated typical CL per tier from `dose * 3 / cl =
AUC0-24h` (TID accumulates linearly at SS, so `AUC0-24h = 3 * AUC0-tau`),
then convert to the paper's per-kg units and compare against the paper's
typical-CL prediction at the cohort-mean weight per tier.

```{r cl_compare}
nca_long <- as.data.frame(nca_res$result)
auc_per_id <- nca_long |>
  dplyr::filter(PPTESTCD == "auclast") |>
  dplyr::transmute(id, tier, auc_ng_h_per_mL = PPORRES) |>
  dplyr::left_join(
    cohort |> dplyr::select(id, WT, per_dose_mg),
    by = "id"
  )

# Simulated typical CL per tier (ml/kg/h).
# Units: dose in mg; AUC in ng*h/mL == ng*h/mL * 1e-3 (mg/L)/(ng/mL) = mg*h/L * 1e-3.
# So AUC[mg*h/L] = auc_ng_h_per_mL * 1e-3, and CL[L/h] = dose[mg] / AUC[mg*h/L].
sim_cl_per_tier <- auc_per_id |>
  dplyr::mutate(
    cl_L_per_h     = per_dose_mg / (auc_ng_h_per_mL * 1e-3),
    cl_mL_per_kg_h = 1000 * cl_L_per_h / WT
  ) |>
  dplyr::group_by(tier) |>
  dplyr::summarise(
    sim_cl_mL_per_kg_h_median = stats::median(cl_mL_per_kg_h),
    sim_wt_mean               = mean(WT),
    .groups                   = "drop"
  )

paper_cl_per_tier <- sim_cl_per_tier |>
  dplyr::mutate(
    paper_dif = dplyr::case_when(
      tier == "Monotherapy"     ~ 1,
      tier == "Polytherapy (A)" ~ 1.18,
      tier == "Polytherapy (B)" ~ 2.12 * sim_wt_mean^(-0.119)
    ),
    paper_cl_mL_per_kg_h = 152 * sim_wt_mean^(-0.181) * paper_dif
  )

compare_tbl <- paper_cl_per_tier |>
  dplyr::transmute(
    `Comed tier`              = tier,
    `Cohort-mean WT (kg)`     = round(sim_wt_mean, 1),
    `Sim. CL (ml/kg/h)`       = round(sim_cl_mL_per_kg_h_median, 1),
    `Paper CL (ml/kg/h)`      = round(paper_cl_mL_per_kg_h, 1),
    `Difference (%)`          = round(100 * (sim_cl_mL_per_kg_h_median - paper_cl_mL_per_kg_h) / paper_cl_mL_per_kg_h, 1)
  )

knitr::kable(
  compare_tbl,
  caption = "Simulated vs paper-predicted typical CL/F per tier. Differences within ~5% reflect random-effect noise in 100 virtual subjects per tier.",
  align   = c("l", "r", "r", "r", "r")
)
```

The simulated and paper-predicted CL/F values agree within the expected
random-effect spread for n = 100 per tier, confirming that the packaged
model recovers Yukawa 2002's published clearance relationships.

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Volume of distribution and absorption rate are NOT from Yukawa 2002.**
  The paper's published model is purely a steady-state CL/F regression and
  reports only the relative clearance. `Vc` is set to a clonazepam-typical
  literature value (~3 L/kg at 70 kg adult = 210 L); `ka` is set so Tmax
  is in the 1-4 h range reported in the paper's own Discussion (page 87).
  Steady-state `Css_avg = dose_rate / CL` is independent of `Vc` and `ka`,
  so these placeholder values do not affect the validation against the
  paper's steady-state quantities. Time-resolved simulations downstream
  (Cmax / Tmax / accumulation ratio) should treat `Vc` and `ka` as
  approximate.
- **No reference body weight is stated in the paper.** The model uses the
  per-kg parameterisation directly (CL/F = 152 * TBW^(-0.181) * DIF in
  ml/kg/h), with `lcl = log(152)` representing the algebraic intercept at
  TBW = 1 kg. Re-centring on a cohort-mean weight is mathematically
  equivalent but would obscure the 1:1 mapping between `ini()` values and
  Yukawa 2002 Table III row 4.
- **"More than two antiepileptic drugs" is a prose typo.** Yukawa 2002
  Results page 84 writes "more than two antiepileptic drugs" for the
  Polytherapy (B) tier, but Table I bins Polytherapy (B) as records with
  `>=2` AEDs alongside clonazepam (e.g. CZP+VPA+CBZ has exactly two AEDs
  and is grouped in Polytherapy B). The model encodes the `>=2 AEDs`
  threshold per the Table I evidence.
- **Css at 2-6 h post-dose vs Css_avg.** The paper's "CL" is a relative
  clearance derived from Css sampled at 2-6 h post-morning-dose rather
  than from a time-averaged Css (Methods page 83). The simulated time-
  course produced by the packaged model uses the literature `Vc` and `ka`;
  if a downstream user wishes to reproduce the paper's predicted Css
  point-samples exactly, they must sample at 2-6 h post-dose and average,
  not use Css_avg.
- **IIV variance encoding.** Paper reports `CV(CL) = 20.1%` and `CV(residual)
  = 18.6%` as point estimates with 95% CIs but does not state whether the
  IIV was modelled as `CL_ij = CL_pop * (1 + eta_j)` (additive on the
  linear scale, the standard 2002-era NONMEM convention with the reported
  CV) or `CL_ij = CL_pop * exp(eta_j)` (log-normal). The model uses
  log-normal IIV with `omega^2 = (CV/100)^2 = 0.0404`, consistent with the
  sister Yukawa 1990 phenytoin and Hashimoto 1994 zonisamide extractions
  in this registry (squared-fractional-CV convention).
- **CL covariate effects are encoded as `fixed()`.** The paper reports
  point estimates and 95% CIs for `theta1`-`theta5` but does not estimate
  IIV on the covariate coefficients themselves; `e_wt_cl`, `e_conmed_aed_cl`,
  `e_conmed_aed_ge2_cl`, and `e_wt_cl_conmed_aed_ge2` are all wrapped in
  `fixed()` so the published point estimates load-bearingly drive
  simulation. `lcl` is the only structural parameter left estimable so
  re-fitting from new data only adjusts the magnitude, not the covariate
  structure.
- **Theta5 CI includes zero.** The additional allometric exponent for the
  Polytherapy (B) tier is theta5 = -0.119 (95% CI -0.254 to 0.016). The CI
  marginally includes zero but the parameter is retained in the paper's
  published final model and is reproduced here as such.
