# Population

Bienczak 2016 pooled efavirenz pharmacokinetic data from two paediatric HIV-1
trials in sub-Saharan Africa: CHAPAS-3 (Children with HIV in Africa --
Pharmacokinetics and Adherence/Acceptability of Simple antiretroviral regimens;
intensive plus sparse PK from 128 children) and ARROW (Anti-Retroviral Research
for Watoto; intensive PK from 41 children). The combined cohort included 169
children aged 2.1--13.8 years (median 4.7) and 7.8--30.0 kg (median 15.5 kg),
89 female / 80 male, all of Black African ancestry, recruited in Uganda and
Zambia. All children were HIV-1 positive on once-daily efavirenz combination
antiretroviral therapy following modified WHO paediatric weight-band guidelines
(Bienczak 2016 Table 1; Bienczak 2016 Table 4 dosing schedule). The composite
CYP2B6 516G>T (rs3745274) and 983T>C (rs28399499) SNP-vector subgroup
distribution in the cohort was 33% 516GG|983TT, 6% 516GG|983TC, 1% 516GG|983CC,
35% 516GT|983TT, 7% 516GT|983TC, and 18% 516TT|983TT (Bienczak 2016 Table 3).

The same information is available programmatically via the model's `population`
metadata (`readModelDb("Bienczak_2016_efavirenz")$population`).

# Virtual cohort

The original CHAPAS-3 / ARROW data are not publicly available. The simulation
below uses a virtual cohort spanning the published weight range
(7.8--30 kg), with the per-genotype subgroup sizes scaled to match the
Bienczak 2016 Table 3 cohort proportions and dosing per the CHAPAS-3 WHO
weight-band schedule (Bienczak 2016 Table 4).

## Comparison against published mid-dose concentrations and AUC

Bienczak 2016 Table 3 reports median (5th--95th percentile) steady-state
mid-dose concentration C12h and AUC over the dosing interval, by CYP2B6
SNP-vector subgroup. The table below compares our virtual-cohort medians to
the published values. Values starred (*) differ from the reference by more
than 20%; investigate but do not tune.

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Trial-of-origin (CHAPAS-3 vs ARROW) covariate dropped.** Bienczak 2016
  retained a significant trial-of-origin effect on the absorption rate
  constant ka (1.6-fold larger in ARROW, dOFV = 37.9, P < 0.001) and mean
  transit time MTT (1.4-fold longer in ARROW, dOFV = 21.4, P < 0.001),
  attributed by the paper to formulation differences (CHAPAS-3 used only
  the double-scored 600 mg paediatric tablet; ARROW used a mix of 50, 100,
  and 200 mg capsules and half / whole 600 mg tablets). This packaged
  model uses the CHAPAS-3 reference values (MTT = 0.82 h, ka = 0.79 /h)
  only, to keep the model self-contained without registering a new
  trial-of-origin canonical covariate. The ARROW typical values are
  MTT = 1.17 h, ka = 1.27 /h (Bienczak 2016 Table 2). Downstream users
  who need ARROW predictions can multiply MTT by 1.4 and ka by 1.6 in
  their simulation script. The `covariatesDataExcluded$STUDY_ARROW`
  metadata in the model file documents the dropped covariate.

- **Between-occasion variability folded as BSV-equivalent.** Bienczak
  2016 reports BSV and BOV separately on multiple parameters (Table 2);
  nlmixr2lib has no idiomatic encoding for BOV distinct from BSV. Per
  the convention used in `Bienczak_2016_nevirapine.R` and
  `Svensson_2018_bedaquiline.R`, BOV is dropped where a BSV term is
  already reported on the same parameter (CL/F: BOV 26.6% dropped; F:
  BOV 50.5% dropped) and folded in as a BSV-equivalent where only BOV
  is reported (MTT: BOV 78.0% -> BSV-equivalent omega^2 = log(1 + 0.780^2)
  = 0.47521; ka: BOV 57.7% -> BSV-equivalent omega^2 = log(1 + 0.577^2)
  = 0.28738).

- **Sparse-data residual-error scaling dropped.** Bienczak 2016 retained
  a 2-fold larger residual error for sparse PK samples (Table 2 row
  'Increased error for sparse data = 2x (1.7x - 2.5x)'); this
  per-record residual-error scaling has no analogue in the nlmixr2lib
  packaged model. The 0.101 mg/L additive and 6.72% proportional errors
  encoded here are the typical (intensive PK) magnitudes.

- **Mixture-model imputation of unknown genotypes not implemented.**
  Bienczak 2016 used a NONMEM `$MIXTURE` block to impute genotypes for
  7 of 169 children with missing CYP2B6 results, with mixture weights
  fixed to the observed cohort frequencies. This nlmixr2lib model
  assumes known genotype and requires the user to supply
  `SNP_CYP2B6_RS3745274_T_COUNT` and `SNP_CYP2B6_RS28399499_C_COUNT`
  directly for each simulated subject.

- **NN (number of transit compartments) fixed to integer 25.** The
  source NONMEM model treated NN as a continuous-valued THETA (bootstrap
  median 25.0, range 17.7--35.1) via the Savic 2007 analytical Erlang
  form. The rxode2 builtin `transit(nn, mtt, fdepot)` also supports
  continuous nn, but we encode nn = 25 fixed (the bootstrap median) to
  preserve the published structural model with negligible numerical
  impact at this NN. Users who want to explore nn sensitivity can edit
  `nn_fix` in the model file.

- **Virtual-cohort dosing follows CHAPAS-3 only.** The simulation above
  applies the CHAPAS-3 weight-band dosing schedule (Bienczak 2016
  Table 4) to virtual subjects spanning the published weight range
  (7.8--30 kg). It does not include the heterogeneous ARROW formulations
  (50, 100, 200 mg capsules + half or whole 600 mg tablets) because the
  trial-of-origin covariate is not encoded.

- **Comparison-table simulated C12h uses typical-value medians from
  the same simulation as the figure.** No tuning of any parameter was
  performed to make the simulated medians match the published medians;
  agreement (within ~20% for most subgroups) reflects the model's
  faithful reproduction of Bienczak 2016 Table 2 estimates.
