Yin et al. (2020) developed a population pharmacokinetic model for oral
pexidartinib (CSF1R / KIT / FLT3 inhibitor; FDA-approved as Turalio for
adult tenosynovial giant cell tumour) pooled across 375 subjects in nine
clinical studies: seven Phase 1 clinical pharmacology studies in 159
healthy subjects (relative bioavailability, dose proportionality, drug-drug
interaction with itraconazole / rifampin / esomeprazole, and food effect;
single doses 200-2400 mg), the Phase 1 PLX108-01 dose-ranging study in 132
patients with TGCT or other advanced solid tumours (200-1200 mg/day), and
the Phase 3 ENLIVEN (PLX108-10) study in 84 patients with TGCT (Part 1:
1000 mg/day for two weeks then 800 mg/day; Part 2: 800 mg/day). The
structural model is a two-compartment model with sequential zero- and
first-order absorption, an absorption lag time, and linear elimination from
the central compartment. The covariate model retained body weight (on CL/F
and Q/F at the theory-based 0.75 exponent; on Vc/F and Vp/F at exponent 1),
piecewise effects of creatinine clearance, AST, and total bilirubin on
CL/F, multiplicative effects of Asian race, healthy-participant cohort,
and female sex on CL/F, and a fixed Phase 1 vs Phase 3 formulation effect
on bioavailability. This vignette reproduces the typical-value structural
model, simulates the ENLIVEN 800 mg/day (400 mg BID) regimen at steady
state, and validates the simulated NCA outputs against the post hoc NCA
parameters published in Yin 2020 Table 3.

# Population

The pooled analysis cohort (Yin 2020 Methods Table 1) was N = 375 subjects
contributing 8430 PK samples: 159 adult healthy subjects in seven Phase 1
clinical pharmacology studies (U114, U116, U117, U118, U119, U120, U121;
single doses 200-2400 mg), 132 patients in PLX108-01 (Phase 1 dose-ranging
in TGCT and other solid tumours, 200-1200 mg/day), and 84 patients in
PLX108-10 ENLIVEN (Phase 3 in TGCT; Part 1: 1000 mg/day for two weeks
followed by 800 mg/day; Part 2: 800 mg/day). Eight subjects (2.1%) were
Asian and the remaining 367 (97.9%) were non-Asian. The reference subject
in Yin 2020 Figure 2 (covariate forest plot) is a male, non-Asian patient
with body weight 80 kg (the cohort median), creatinine clearance >= 90
mL/min, AST <= 80 U/L, and total bilirubin <= 20.5 umol/L. Pexidartinib
serum concentrations were measured by a validated LC-MS/MS method with
LLOQ 2.5 ng/mL.

The same information is available programmatically via the model's
`population` metadata
(`rxode2::rxode(readModelDb("Yin_2020_pexidartinib"))$meta$population`).

# Virtual cohort

The ENLIVEN Phase 3 trial concentration-time data are not publicly
available. The validation cohort below is a virtual replicate of the
ENLIVEN study population: 200 adult patients with TGCT receiving the
approved 800 mg/day Turalio regimen (400 mg BID), Phase 3 commercial
formulation, with baseline covariate distributions chosen to bracket the
Yin 2020 Figure 2 reference values.

# PKNCA validation

PKNCA computes the post hoc NCA parameters reported in Yin 2020 Table 3
(Day 1 AUC0-12 and Cmax, steady-state AUC0-12 and Cmax) from the simulated
ENLIVEN 800 mg/day cohort. PKNCA needs a time = 0 anchor for AUC0-12; the
simulation already includes it because Day 1 sampling starts at t = 0.
Steady-state AUC0-12 is computed over the 12-hour window starting at the
Day 56 anchor dose (t = 1332 h).

```{r pknca}
# Concentration frame: keep both phases of sampling. Do NOT filter `time > 0`
# or `Cc > 0` -- both drop the time-zero row that PKNCA uses to anchor AUC0-*.
sim_nca <- sim |>

# Dose object: one row per dose event per subject -- here, the Day 1 first
# dose plus the Day 56 steady-state anchor dose. PKNCA uses the dose-row
# time to align each interval's AUC0-tau computation.

# Two intervals per subject: Day 1 AUC0-12 (single dose) and Day 56
# AUC0-12 (steady state). cmax/tmax computed within each window. Both rows
# carry the same column set so that bind_rows() does not introduce NA cells
# (PKNCA::check.interval.specification rejects NA in the parameter columns).
intervals <- data.frame(
  start = c(0,            day56_anchor),
  end   = c(12,           day56_anchor + 12),

```

The simulated median Day 1 and steady-state AUC0-12 and Cmax values fall
within ~10% of the Yin 2020 Table 3 medians for an unmodified 200-subject
virtual cohort, confirming that the packaged structural model and IIV
covariance reproduce the published post hoc exposure metrics.

## Accumulation ratio

  dplyr::select(id, phase, PPORRES) |>
  tidyr::pivot_wider(names_from = phase, values_from = PPORRES) |>
  dplyr::mutate(accum_ratio = ss / day1)
summary(nca_wide$accum_ratio)
```

Yin 2020 Table 3 reports an accumulation ratio of mean 3.6 (SD 0.8) and
median 3.5 (P5-P95 2.7-4.5) for the ENLIVEN 800 mg/day cohort.

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Inter-occasion variability omitted.** Yin 2020 Table 2 reports
  inter-occasion variability (IOV) on KA across 5 occasions
  (Omega 7.7 = 1.83, 229% CV) and on F1 across 10 occasions
  (Omega 12.12 = 0.0652, 25.9% CV). This model file does not encode the
  IOV structurally -- the source paper does not define an operational
  occasion column for the model-library use case, and the nlmixr2lib
  convention (Andrews 2017 / Brooks 2021 tacrolimus precedent) is to omit
  IOV when no occasion mapping is defined. Downstream users who need IOV
  for between-day exposure-variability simulations can add an `OCC`
  indicator column and a per-occasion eta in rxode2.
- **Phase-1-formulation F1 IIV is gated.** The Phase-1-formulation-specific
  IIV `etalfdepot ~ N(0, 0.101)` is multiplied by `FORM_PEX_PHASE1` inside
  `model()`, so it has zero effect when the subject received the Phase 3 /
  commercial formulation (the typical simulation case, including the
  ENLIVEN 800 mg/day regimen reproduced in this vignette).
- **ENLIVEN baseline covariate distributions are inferred, not extracted
  from the paper.** Yin 2020 reports the pooled-cohort covariate
  distribution only as forest-plot percentiles (Figure 2) and the reference
  subject (Figure 2 caption: 80 kg, CRCL >= 90, AST <= 80, TBIL <= 20.5,
  male, non-Asian, patient cohort). The virtual cohort assumed in the
  Virtual cohort chunk above (log-normal WT around 80 kg with ~20% CV,
  50/50 sex, 2.1% Asian to match the pooled-cohort 8/375 rate, mostly
  normal CRCL / AST / TBILI distributions) is a best-effort approximation
  of the ENLIVEN demographics; the precise ENLIVEN baseline table is not
  reproduced in the Yin 2020 paper.
- **Reference category for the CRCL piecewise effect.** Yin 2020 codes the
  CRCL effect as `(CRCL<90 / 90)^theta9` -- shorthand for "use CRCL / 90
  when CRCL < 90, else 1". The model file encodes this by raising the
  factor to a 0/1 indicator (the Andrews 2017 tacrolimus HCT precedent)
  so that anything^0 = 1 selects the no-effect branch when CRCL >= 90.
  The same pattern applies to the AST > 80 U/L and TBILI > 20.5 umol/L
  piecewise effects.
- **Residual error variances are reported as Sigma; the model uses SDs.**
  Yin 2020 Table 2 reports the proportional residual variability as
  Sigma 1.1 = 0.0883 (29.7% CV) for patient samples and Sigma 2.2 = 0.0384
  (19.6% CV) for healthy-subject samples. The model file uses the
  corresponding SDs propSd_patient = sqrt(0.0883) = 0.297 and
  propSd_healthy = sqrt(0.0384) = 0.196 to align with the nlmixr2 / rxode2
  `prop(propSd)` convention.
