# Model and source

* Citation: `r readModelDb("Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab_ddmore")()$reference`
* Description: `r readModelDb("Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab_ddmore")()$description`
* Article: [CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol. 2016;5(11):617-624](https://doi.org/10.1002/psp4.12136) (open access via [PMC5655850](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5655850/))
* DDMORE Foundation Model Repository: [DDMODEL00000273](https://repository.ddmore.eu/model/DDMODEL00000273)

This model was extracted from the DDMORE bundle scraped to
`dpastoor/ddmore_scraping/273/`. The bundle ships:

- `Executable_Simulated_Dupilumab.ctl` -- NONMEM control stream (NM-TRAN,
  ADVAN13 + TOL=9 ODE block) implementing the two-compartment
  parallel-linear/Michaelis-Menten dupilumab PK structure described in
  Kovalenko 2016, with a non-standard body-weight covariate on the
  central volume.
- `Output_simulated_Dupilumab.lst` -- listing from running SAEM/IMP on the
  shipped `Simulated_Dupilumab.CSV`. Reaches `MINIMIZATION SUCCESSFUL`
  and produces the FINAL PARAMETER ESTIMATE values that drive `ini()`.
- `Simulated_Dupilumab.CSV` -- single-subject placeholder dataset
  (`WT = 1`, `LWT = 1` constants) used for the bundle's regression
  smoke-test.
- `DDMODEL00000273.rdf`, `Command.txt`, `273.json` -- provenance metadata.

The bundle does **not** ship an `Output_real_*.lst` and there is no
`Model_Accomodations.text|.txt` file. The validation strategy is
therefore the F.2 self-consistency check (does the rxode2 implementation
reproduce the bundle's NM-TRAN trajectory on the same inputs?) plus a
qualitative comparison of the model's typical-value profile against the
publication's Figure 3 concentration-time plots. Direct replication of
Kovalenko 2016 Table 2 is **not** the goal of this DDMORE-source
vignette -- the parameter values reported here are the bundle's
simulated-data fit, not the publication's real-data fit. For the
publication-faithful encoding, see the `replicate_of` counterpart
[`Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab`](Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab.html).

# Population

The publication (Table 1 + Results / Data) reports a pooled cohort of
197 participants (96 female, 101 male; mean age 37 years; mean weight
76 kg) drawn from two Phase 1 healthy-volunteer studies (NCT01015027,
NCT01484600) and four Phase 2 atopic-dermatitis patient studies
(NCT01259323, NCT01385657, NCT01548404, NCT01639040), contributing
2,518 serum dupilumab measurements. The DDMORE bundle's simulated CSV
does not reproduce these demographics -- it is a single-subject placeholder
with `WT = 1` and `LWT = 1` constants -- so the `population` metadata in
`inst/modeldb/ddmore/Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab_ddmore.R` is taken from the
publication, not the bundle.

The same information is available programmatically via
`readModelDb("Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab_ddmore")()$population`.

# Source trace

Every value in `ini()` is the bundle's `Output_simulated_Dupilumab.lst`
FINAL PARAMETER ESTIMATE (SAEM block, identically echoed by the IMP
block). The `.ctl` `$THETA / $OMEGA / $SIGMA` blocks are *initial*
estimates and are not used here.

| Equation / parameter | Value (linear units) | Source location |

| ODEs | n/a | `.ctl $DES` block (DTYP gating dropped -- route is set by the dosing compartment in the event record). |
| `f(depot)` (SC bioavailability) | exp(lfdepot) | `.ctl $PK F1 = BIO` |

The bundle's body-weight covariate equation is:

  `C1 = exp((LWT - log(75)) * 0.75) = (WT/75)^0.75` ;
  `V2 = exp((MU_1 + ETA(1)) * C1)`

This is structurally distinct from the publication's Eq. 1 of the form
`V2 = THETA1 * (WT/75)^THETA2`. See **Assumptions and deviations**
below for the implications.

# Virtual cohort

For the F.2 self-consistency check we mirror the bundle's simulated
event sequence: a single subject receiving 1000 mg as an SC injection
into the depot at time 0, with concentration sampled at the bundle's
observation times.

```{r cohort}
bundle_csv <- "/home/bill/github/mab_human_consensus/literature/from_people/ddmore/ddmore_scraping/273/Simulated_Dupilumab.CSV"

if (file.exists(bundle_csv)) {
  bundle <- read.csv(bundle_csv)
  obs_times <- bundle |>
    dplyr::filter(MDV == 0, CMT == 2) |>
    dplyr::pull(TIME) |>
    unique() |>
    sort()
  bundle_dose <- bundle |>
    dplyr::filter(EVID == 1 | (MDV == 1 & DOSE > 0)) |>
    dplyr::slice_head(n = 1)
  dose_amt <- bundle_dose$DOSE
} else {
  obs_times <- c(seq(0, 12, by = 0.25), seq(13, 30, by = 1), seq(32, 84, by = 2))
  dose_amt  <- 1000
  bundle    <- NULL
}

cat("Observation grid:", length(obs_times), "time points from",
    min(obs_times), "to", max(obs_times), "days\n")
cat("Dose: ", dose_amt, "mg SC\n")
```

# Simulation

The `.ctl` body-weight covariate uses the data column `LWT` directly
(treating it as `log(WT)` in kg). The bundle's simulated CSV sets
`LWT = 1` for all rows even though `WT = 1` (so `LWT` is **not** the log
of `WT` in that dataset -- it is a numeric placeholder). To reproduce
the bundle's trajectory, we set `WT = exp(1) ~= 2.718` so that the
nlmixr2 covariate factor `(WT/75)^0.75` matches the bundle's
`exp((LWT - log(75)) * 0.75)` exactly.

```{r simulate}
mod <- rxode2::rxode2(readModelDb("Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab_ddmore"))
mod_typical <- rxode2::zeroRe(mod)

events <- rxode2::et(amt = dose_amt, cmt = "depot") |>
  rxode2::et(obs_times)

# WT_bundle = exp(1) so that (WT_bundle/75)^0.75 matches the bundle's
# exp((LWT - log(75))*0.75) with LWT = 1.
sim_bundle <- rxode2::rxSolve(
  mod_typical,
  events = events,
  params = c(WT = exp(1))
) |>
  as.data.frame()
```

```

    theme_minimal(base_size = 11)
}
```

The agreement is within a few percent across the entire profile, so the
rxode2 implementation is a faithful translation of the bundle's
NM-TRAN ODE structure. The residual sub-percent disagreement is a
combination of (a) the ADVAN13 tolerance the bundle ran (`TOL=9`) versus
the rxode2 default solver tolerance, and (b) the linearization of the
bundle's `Y = IPRE * exp(ERR(1) * SD1) + ERR(2) * SD2` log-normal
proportional + additive residual error to nlmixr2's `prop() + add()`
form (the small-SD approximation is exact to within ~= 0.1% at
`SD1 = 0.0377`).

# Typical-profile comparison against the publication

Although direct Table 2 replication is out of scope (see the lead
section), it is useful to confirm that the bundle-encoded model produces
a typical-value profile in the **same shape** as the publication's
Figure 3 concentration-time plots -- bi-exponential decay after IV with
a steep low-concentration target-mediated drop-off, and a peak around
day 3-7 after a single SC injection.

```{r publication-shape, fig.height=4.5, fig.cap = "Typical-value dupilumab profile after a single 300 mg SC dose at WT = 75 kg. Compare qualitatively with Kovalenko 2016 Figure 3B (300 mg SC, single dose). The shape (peak around day 3-5, steep target-mediated drop near 1 mg/L) reproduces Figure 3B; the absolute concentration scale is biased low because the bundle's V2 covariate form gives V2 ~ 2.02 L at 75 kg whereas the publication's Eq. 1 gives V2 = 2.74 L."}

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Bundle ships only a simulated-data NONMEM listing.** No
  `Output_real_*.lst` is available in `dpastoor/ddmore_scraping/273/`,
  so the FINAL PARAMETER ESTIMATEs in `Output_simulated_Dupilumab.lst`
  are a SAEM/IMP fit on `Simulated_Dupilumab.CSV` (a single-subject
  placeholder), not on Kovalenko 2016's 197-subject real cohort.
- **Bundle parameter values do not match Kovalenko 2016 Table 2.**
  Examples: bundle V2 typical at 75 kg ~= 2.02 L vs Table 2: 2.74 L;
  bundle ke ~= 0.247 1/d vs Table 2: 0.0459 1/d; bundle ka ~= 0.353 1/d
  vs Table 2: 0.254 1/d; bundle proportional SD ~= 0.0377 vs Table 2
  CV% 24.2 (~= 0.242). The publication-faithful counterpart at
  `inst/modeldb/specificDrugs/Kovalenko_2016_dupilumab.R` carries the
  Table 2 values.
- **Bundle's V2 weight covariate has a non-standard form.** The `.ctl`
  encodes `V2 = exp((MU_1 + ETA(1)) * (WT/75)^0.75)`, so log(V2) is
  proportional to `(WT/75)^0.75`. The publication's Eq. 1 is
  `V2 = THETA1 * (WT/75)^THETA2`, with THETA2 estimated at 0.705. The
  two forms agree only at the reference weight (75 kg) and diverge
  away from it; the bundle's form additionally couples the V2 random
  effect (ETA(1)) to body weight. The 0.75 exponent in the bundle is
  hard-coded (not estimated); 0.705 is the publication's fitted
  exponent -- these are different parameters. We preserve the bundle's
  form verbatim because it is what the DDMORE bundle implements.
- **Bundle's IIV is degenerate.** The `Output_simulated_*.lst` FINAL
  OMEGA values are ~1e-6 to 1e-7 because the SAEM was run on a
  single-subject simulated dataset with `WT = 1` constant -- there is
  no population variability for the algorithm to recover. The IIV
  values are inserted verbatim for traceability but should not be
  used for population simulation. For population-scale work, use the
  `replicate_of` counterpart.
- **Bundle's simulated CSV uses `LWT = 1` (not `log(WT) = 0`).** The
  CSV is internally inconsistent: `WT = 1` and `LWT = 1` for every
  row, even though the `.ctl` treats `LWT` as `log(WT_kg)`. The F.2
  self-consistency check above sets `WT = exp(1) ~= 2.718` so that the
  rxode2-computed covariate factor `(WT/75)^0.75` matches the bundle's
  `exp((LWT - log(75)) * 0.75)` with `LWT = 1`. Any downstream user
  applying this model to a real cohort should set `WT` (in kg) and
  ignore the bundle's `LWT` quirk.
- **Linear-MU on `BIO`, `K23`, `K32` mapped to log scale where IIV is
  fixed at zero.** The `.ctl` writes `BIO = MU_5 + ETA(5)`,
  `K23 = MU_6 + ETA(6)`, and `K32 = MU_7 + ETA(7)` on the linear
  scale. ETA(5)-ETA(7) are FIXED at 0 in the bundle, so the linear-MU
  form has no IIV behaviour. We store `lfdepot` on the log scale
  (nlmixr2lib convention) and `k23`, `k32` on the linear scale (the
  per-rate-constant values are small and the convention checker does
  not flag them). The typical-value predictions are identical.
- **Residual error linearized.** The `.ctl` writes
  `Y = IPRE * exp(ERR(1) * SD1) + ERR(2) * SD2` (log-normal
  proportional + additive). nlmixr2's `add() + prop()` is the
  small-SD linearization, exact to within ~0.1% at `SD1 = 0.0377`.
- **DTYP gating dropped.** The bundle's `DADT(1) = -KA*A(1)*DTYP`
  uses the data column `DTYP` to switch the depot rate on (SC) or
  off (IV). The simulated CSV has `DTYP = 1` throughout, so the gate
  is never exercised. nlmixr2 routes by dosing compartment instead:
  SC doses go to `cmt = depot`, IV doses go to `cmt = central` -- the
  cleaner equivalent.
- **AUC integrator compartment dropped.** The bundle's `COMP=(AUC)`
  with `DADT(3) = A(2)/V2` is a passive integrator of central
  concentration. rxode2 can compute AUC at solve time, so we omit it.
- **Population metadata sourced from the publication, not the bundle.**
  The simulated CSV has no realistic demographics; the population
  block in the model file is taken from Kovalenko 2016 Table 1 +
  Results / Data.
