Apomine is a synthetic bisphosphonate-ester anti-cancer agent given orally over
a 30 to 2100 mg total daily dose range. Bonate 2004 pools four model-development
studies (Studies 1, 2, 5, 6) of 19 healthy adult males and 19 male and female
patients with advanced solid tumours and fits a two-compartment population PK
model with a mixture first-order absorption (a dominant lagged-absorption Group
1 subpopulation, 97 percent; and a no-lag Group 2 subpopulation, 3 percent),
dose-saturable relative bioavailability with a food effect, sigmoid Emax
auto-induction of apparent oral clearance over elapsed time, and a fixed
allometric weight effect on central volume of distribution. Cancer patients
have lower baseline CL/F and lower central volume than healthy males;
intercompartmental clearance and peripheral volume are common to both
populations.

# Population

The model-development dataset comprised 801 plasma apomine concentration
measurements from 38 subjects across Studies 1, 2, 5 and 6 (Bonate 2004 Table 1
and Table 2). Studies 1 and 2 enrolled 19 healthy adult males (fasted, single
or once-daily multiple-dose) in Dundee, Scotland; Studies 5 and 6 enrolled 19
adult male and female patients with advanced solid tumours (Study 5
once-weekly fasted, Study 6 multiple-dose twice-daily with food) at the
Arizona Cancer Center and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center, San Antonio.
Weight ranged 55-115 kg across the cohort; ages 18-78 years. Cancer patients
received concomitant supportive-care medications but were excluded if on
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal cancer therapy, radiation or CYP3A
inhibitors. Two influential subjects (Study 1 subject 18 and Study 5 subject
11) identified by jack-knife principal-components analysis were removed before
the final parameter estimates in Table 3 were obtained.

The same information is available programmatically via
`readModelDb("Bonate_2004_apomine")$population` (call the function returned
by `readModelDb()` and then inspect `$population`).

## Figure 8 --AUC(0,24 h) and Cmax over 21 days of 50 mg qd dosing

Bonate 2004 reports that with continued once-daily 50 mg dosing in healthy
female subjects, both AUC(0,24 h) and Cmax increase over the first week of
administration, then decrease and reach steady state after about 14 days.
Day 14 exposure is approximately twice that of Day 1 (Bonate 2004 Discussion).

```{r figure-8, fig.cap = "Replicates Bonate 2004 Figure 8: typical-value 24-h AUC and Cmax in fasting healthy females over 21 days of 50 mg apomine once daily."}
daily_summary <- sim_50qd |>
  dplyr::mutate(day = floor(time / 24) + 1) |>
  dplyr::filter(day <= 21) |>
  dplyr::group_by(day) |>
  dplyr::summarise(
    AUC24h_typ = sum(diff(time) * (head(Cc, -1) + tail(Cc, -1)) / 2),
    Cmax_typ   = max(Cc, na.rm = TRUE),
    .groups    = "drop"
  )

daily_long <- daily_summary |>
  tidyr::pivot_longer(c(AUC24h_typ, Cmax_typ),
                      names_to = "metric", values_to = "value") |>
  dplyr::mutate(
    metric_label = factor(
      metric,
      levels = c("AUC24h_typ", "Cmax_typ"),
      labels = c("AUC(0,24 h) (h * ug/mL)", "Cmax (ug/mL)")
    )
  )

ggplot(daily_long, aes(day, value)) +
  geom_line() +
  geom_point() +
  facet_wrap(~metric_label, scales = "free_y", ncol = 1) +

    x       = "Day of drug administration",
    y       = NULL,
    caption = "Replicates Bonate 2004 Figure 8 (mean line)."
  ) +
  theme_bw()
```

The typical-value 24-h AUC and Cmax trajectories show the characteristic rise
over the first week, the auto-induction-driven decline, and steady-state
attainment near day 14, with day-14 exposures roughly double the day-1 values
(matching the paper's narrative).

## Figure 7 --Apparent terminal half-life over time in healthy vs cancer

Bonate 2004 Figure 7 plots the lambda-1 and lambda-z macroconstant half-lives
as a function of day of drug administration. At steady state the least-squares
mean lambda-1 half-life was 5.5 h in cancer patients and 4.5 h in healthy
volunteers; the least-squares mean lambda-z half-life was 41 h in cancer
patients and 32 h in healthy volunteers (Bonate 2004 Results paragraph 6).

```{r figure-7-half-life}

# patient (DIS_CANCER = 1), both 75 kg, fasted, Group 1 absorption. Compute

At day 21 (steady state), the computed typical-value half-lives are:

```{r figure-7-summary}
hl_long |>
  dplyr::filter(day == 21) |>
  dplyr::select(population, macroconstant, t_half) |>
  tidyr::pivot_wider(names_from = macroconstant, values_from = t_half) |>
  knitr::kable(digits = 2, caption = "Day-21 typical-value half-lives.")
```

Comparison with Bonate 2004 Results paragraph 6 (least-squares means at steady
state): lambda-1 half-life 4.5 h (healthy) and 5.5 h (cancer); lambda-z
half-life 32 h (healthy) and 41 h (cancer). The simulated typical-value values
agree to within rounding.

# PKNCA validation

Apomine reaches steady state after roughly two weeks of once-daily dosing. The
table below computes Cmax, AUC over 24 h, and the apparent terminal half-life
on day 21 (the steady-state interval) for a typical healthy male and a typical
cancer patient.

```{r pknca}
sim_typ_healthy <- rxode2::rxSolve(mod_typical, ss_events(0)) |>
  as.data.frame() |>
  dplyr::mutate(id_label = 1L,
                treatment = "Typical healthy male, 50 mg qd")

  as.data.frame() |>
  dplyr::mutate(id_label = 2L,
                treatment = "Typical cancer patient, 50 mg qd")

sim_typ <- dplyr::bind_rows(sim_typ_healthy, sim_typ_cancer)

# PKNCA over the final dosing interval (day 20 -> day 21).
ss_start <- 20 * 24
ss_end   <- 21 * 24

sim_nca <- sim_typ |>
  dplyr::filter(time >= ss_start, time <= ss_end + 24, !is.na(Cc)) |>
  dplyr::transmute(id = id_label, time, Cc, treatment)

# Build a PKNCA dose data frame directly: one row per subject at the
# day-20 dose time. The rxode2 event table uses addl/ii encoding which
# compresses 21 doses into one row, so the dose times for PKNCA are
# constructed here from the regimen description rather than filtered
# back out of the event table.
dose_df <- tibble::tibble(
  id        = c(1L, 2L),
  time      = ss_start,
  amt       = 50,
  treatment = c("Typical healthy male, 50 mg qd",
                "Typical cancer patient, 50 mg qd")
)

conc_obj <- PKNCA::PKNCAconc(sim_nca, Cc ~ time | treatment + id,
                             concu = "ug/mL", timeu = "h")
dose_obj <- PKNCA::PKNCAdose(dose_df, amt ~ time | treatment + id,
                             doseu = "mg")

intervals <- data.frame(
  start    = ss_start,
  end      = ss_end,
  cmax     = TRUE,
  tmax     = TRUE,
  auclast  = TRUE,
  half.life = TRUE
)

nca_res <- PKNCA::pk.nca(PKNCA::PKNCAdata(conc_obj, dose_obj,
                                          intervals = intervals))
knitr::kable(as.data.frame(summary(nca_res)),
             caption = "Day-21 steady-state NCA: typical-value simulation by patient population.")
```

PKNCA's terminal half-life estimate uses the lambda-z arm of the
two-compartment disposition; the values are consistent with the analytic
macroconstant computations in the Figure 7 table.

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Inter-occasion variability omitted.** Bonate 2004 Table 3 reports 18 %
  inter-occasion variability on both CL and central volume. The model file
  omits IOV because the occasion definition (one occasion per sampling day
  in the source paper) is study-design-specific and would require the user
  to supply an occasion-flag column at simulation time. The same omission
  is the standard nlmixr2lib practice (cf. `Bienczak_2016_nevirapine`,
  `Svensson_2016_rifampicin`); the typical-value forward simulations in this
  vignette are unaffected.

- **Mixture-absorption class selection via covariate.** The source NONMEM
  model used a `$MIXTURE` block with two latent classes (Group 1 = lagged
  absorption, 97 %; Group 2 = no-lag absorption, 3 %). The packaged model
  exposes the class assignment as the binary covariate `MIX_LAGGED_ABS`
  with reference category 0 (Group 2). For typical-value reproduction of
  the dominant phenotype set `MIX_LAGGED_ABS = 1`; for population
  simulation, draw `MIX_LAGGED_ABS ~ Bernoulli(0.970)` per subject. The
  same indicator-covariate pattern is used by `Tsuji_2017_linezolid`
  (`MIX_PDI`) and `Schindler_2017_imatinib` (`MIX_LARGE_BASE`).

- **High-Vp subgroup as a binary indicator.** Bonate 2004 Results
  identified four healthy-male multiple-dose subjects in Study 2 with
  peripheral volume of distribution roughly 23.5-fold higher than the
  rest of the cohort, modelled as a multiplicative shift `Vp = TVV3 *
  theta_Study2`. The packaged model exposes this as the binary covariate
  `MIX_HIGH_VP` with reference category 0 (typical-Vp majority); the paper
  notes that simulations with and without this multiplier showed minimal
  differences in concentration-time profiles.

- **Residual-error form.** The paper reports `Y = F * exp(eps1) + eps2`
  (exponential-proportional plus additive). For the cohort's CV of 11 %
  this is well-approximated by the nlmixr2 `prop(propSd) + add(addSd)`
  idiom (`propSd = 0.11`, `addSd = 0.168 ug/mL`); the deviation at low
  concentrations is < 1 % of the additive floor.

- **Auto-induction in single-dose simulations.** Bonate 2004 held CL
  time-invariant for the single-dose Study 1 fit during estimation. The
  packaged model retains the time-dependent CL formula `CL(t) = CL0 +
  CLmax * t^hill / (t50^hill + t^hill)` for all simulations. With the
  published t50 = 46.4 h and hill = 6.40, induction at t = 24 h is only
  ~1.4 % of CLmax, so the single-dose forward simulation is not
  materially affected.

- **Fraction-female reproduction.** Bonate 2004 Figure 8 simulated healthy
  *female* subjects, but the model-development cohort included healthy
  females only in Studies 5 and 6 (cancer patients). The paper used the
  female weight mean from those studies (~70 kg); the same weight is used
  here. No sex-specific CL/F or Vc/F effect was retained in the final
  model (Table 3 sex was tested and not retained).
