# Population

Zhang 2015 developed a population pharmacokinetic model of oral
dolutegravir from 3357 plasma concentrations in 563 HIV-1-infected
antiretroviral treatment-naive adults pooled across three
GlaxoSmithKline trials (Zhang 2015 Table 1): ING111521 (phase 2a,
proof-of-concept dose-ranging monotherapy, n = 19), SPRING-1 (phase
2b dose-ranging with abacavir/lamivudine or tenofovir/emtricitabine
backbone, n = 141), and SPRING-2 (phase 3 non-inferiority against
raltegravir, n = 403). Dolutegravir doses ranged from 10 to 50 mg
once daily. Baseline demographics per Zhang 2015 Table 2: median age
37 years (range 18-68), median weight 74.5 kg (range 39.0-135),
median total bilirubin 9 umol/L (range 3-38), 15% female, 83%
Caucasian / 12% Black / 1% Asian / 4% Other; 42% current smokers,
13% former, 42% never (3% unknown); 9% HCV co-infected, 1% HBV
co-infected. Records below the assay lower limit of quantification
(1% of the raw sample) were excluded from the model fit.

The same information is available programmatically:
`readModelDb("Zhang_2015_dolutegravir")()$population`.

# Virtual cohort

The cohort below reproduces the SPRING-1 / SPRING-2 pooled adult
treatment-naive population (Zhang 2015 Table 2) at the median /
modal covariate values, with three dose-arm strata (10 mg, 25 mg,
50 mg once daily) that mirror the actual arms enrolled in SPRING-1.
150 virtual subjects per arm is well above the ~46 per arm at the
50 mg SPRING-1 cohort (Zhang 2015 Table 4) yet stays within the
pkgdown vignette time budget. Covariate distributions are pinned at
Table 2 medians rather than random-sampled so the point estimates
below reflect Zhang's own "reference subject" (40 y male, 70 kg,
9 umol/L bilirubin, non-current smoker).

# Replicate Figure 2: steady-state concentration profile by dose

Zhang 2015 Figure 2 is a prediction-corrected VPC of observed vs
simulated dolutegravir concentrations. The equivalent view below
plots the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles of the simulated
steady-state profile at each dose arm against the typical-value
line, restricted to time after the 10th dose to isolate the
steady-state interval.

# PKNCA validation against Zhang 2015 Table 4

Zhang 2015 Table 4 reports steady-state Cmax, tmax, C_tau, and
AUC(0-tau) from empirical-Bayes estimation per study and dose.
The block below replicates that table for the SPRING-1 doses (10,
25, and 50 mg once daily), which is the study that carries all
three dose arms in Table 4.

```{r pknca}
# Restrict PKNCA to the steady-state dosing interval so AUC(0-tau)
# and Cmax refer to that interval, not the accumulation phase.

  dplyr::select(id, tad, Cc, dose_arm)

# Guarantee a tad = 0 row per (id, dose_arm) so PKNCA's AUC starts
# at the trough concentration rather than the first sampled tad.

)
```

For cross-reference, the SPRING-2 phase-3 cohort at 50 mg once
daily (n = 403 in the source) reported AUC(0-tau) 53.6 ug*h/mL,
Cmax 3.69 ug/mL, tmax 2.00 h, C_tau 1.10 ug/mL (Zhang 2015 Table
4). The 50 mg simulated arm above matches both SPRING-1 and
SPRING-2 within the noise of the paper's own study-to-study
spread. ING111521 (phase 2a proof-of-concept, n = 9 or 10 per
dose in Table 4) reports 20-50% lower exposures than SPRING-1 /
SPRING-2 at matching doses; this is reproducible in the packaged
model by setting `STUDY_ING111521 = 1L` on the virtual subjects.

# Assumptions and deviations

- The simulated 25 mg C_trough (~0.65 ug/mL) sits ~20% above Zhang
  2015 SPRING-1 Table 4 (0.53 ug/mL) and gets flagged by the
  `ncaComparisonTable()` 20% tolerance. This is not a model
  mis-parameterisation: Zhang's own SPRING-1 C_trough scales 0.530
  (25 mg) -> 1.170 (50 mg) = 2.21x for a 2x dose increase, so the
  paper's 25 mg C_trough is on the low tail of its own sampling
  distribution (n = 46). The simulated 50 mg C_trough (1.12) matches
  SPRING-1 (1.17) and SPRING-2 (1.10) within 5%, and the 25 mg AUC
  and Cmax match SPRING-1 within 10%. No parameter tuning is
  warranted.
- The virtual cohort pins covariates at the SPRING pool medians
  (WT = 74 kg, AGE = 37 y, TBILI = 9 umol/L, SEXF = 0, SMOKE = 0,
  STUDY_ING111521 = 0) rather than sampling from the empirical
  covariate distribution. This targets the Zhang 2015 "reference
  subject" so simulated point estimates match the paper's own
  reference-covariate values; a covariate-sampled cohort would
  spread NCA parameters around the same median but is not needed
  for the Table 4 validation.
- Inter-occasion variability on CL/F (Zhang 2015 Table 3 reports
  omega^2_IOV-CL = 0.0296, ~17.2% CV) is dropped from the packaged
  model, following the nlmixr2lib convention (BOV is folded into
  BSV only when the paper does not report a separate BSV term;
  Zhang 2015 reports both, so the BOV term is omitted). A user
  who needs occasion-level noise can re-attach it as an occasion-
  indexed `eta` at simulation time.
- The bioavailability reference anchor (`lfdepot`) is fixed at
  `log(1)`. Zhang 2015 parameterises `F = 1.21^GEND * 1.24^DOSE`
  as a categorical multiplier on a unit reference; the packaged
  model preserves that structure by anchoring F at 1 for the male,
  25/50 mg reference and applying the two exponential multipliers.
- Ethnicity, race, HBV/HCV co-infection, CDC classification, ALB,
  ALT, AST, and creatinine clearance were screened by Zhang 2015
  and did not enter the final model. They are documented in
  `covariatesDataExcluded` so the paper's covariate screen is
  visible from `readModelDb()`.
- The correlation between IIV on CL/F and V/F (correlation = 0.375
  in the intermediate model per Zhang 2015 Results) was removed in
  the final model (11-point OFV increase considered non-material).
  The packaged `ini()` block preserves this by carrying `etalcl`
  and `etalvc` as independent random effects.
