# Population

Moore 1999 pooled data from two large phase III lamivudine efficacy/safety
trials, NUCA3001 (245 patients) and NUCA3002 (149 patients), giving 394
HIV-1-infected adults with adequate dosing and sample-time documentation
and 1,477 evaluable serum lamivudine concentrations. The cohort was
predominantly male (87%), mean age 35.7 years (range 19-64), mean weight
74.2 kg (range 37.2-138.5), 62% Caucasian / 15% Black / 22% Hispanic / 1%
Other, and well-distributed across CDC classes A/B/C (62%/32%/6%). Mean
calculated Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance was 97.4 mL/min; only
three patients had CrCl < 60 mL/min, so the renal-impairment range was
sparsely sampled. Dosing was oral lamivudine 150 mg BID or 300 mg BID,
either alone or with zidovudine 200 mg TID. Demographics are summarised
in Table 1 of the source.

The same information is available programmatically:
`readModelDb("Moore_1999_lamivudine")$population` after the model is
loaded.

# Virtual cohort

Original observed data are not publicly available. The cohort below is a
virtual reproduction of the two licensed dosing regimens (150 mg BID and
300 mg BID) at the cohort-median demographics (35.7 years, 74.2 kg,
serum creatinine 1.1 mg/dL, 87% male) sampled densely over a single
dosing interval after multiple dosing has reached steady state.

```{r cohort}

# Simulation

```{r simulate}
mod <- rxode2::rxode2(readModelDb("Moore_1999_lamivudine"))

sim <- rxode2::rxSolve(
  mod,
  events = events,
  keep   = c("WT", "AGE", "CREAT", "SEXF", "treatment")
) |>
  as.data.frame()
```

Deterministic typical-value lines (zeroed-eta) for the published-parameter
profile per treatment:

```{r simulate-typical}
mod_typical <- mod |> rxode2::zeroRe()
sim_typical <- rxode2::rxSolve(
  mod_typical,

  keep   = c("treatment")
) |>
  as.data.frame()
```

# Steady-state concentration vs time

The published paper itself does not show a steady-state concentration-time
plot, but Figure 1 illustrates the model fit (predicted vs observed)
through serum concentrations spanning roughly 0-8000 ng/mL. The plot
below reproduces the steady-state concentration profile under the two
licensed dosing regimens at the cohort-median demographics.

```{r ss-profile, fig.width = 7, fig.height = 4.5}
ss_start <- max(events$time[events$evid == 1L])

sim_ss <- sim |>
  dplyr::filter(time >= ss_start, !is.na(Cc)) |>
  dplyr::mutate(time_post_dose = time - ss_start,
                Cc_ngml = Cc * 1000)  # convert mg/L -> ng/mL for paper units

```

# Renal-function effect on typical CL/F

Table 2 footnote d encodes a Cockcroft-Gault-style renal-function index
raised to the estimated exponent 0.468 on CL/F. The plot below traces
typical CL/F across the patient's serum creatinine at fixed age (35.7 y)
and weight (74.2 kg), separately for male and female.

```{r renal-effect, fig.width = 7, fig.height = 4}
theta1     <- 25.1
e_renal    <- 0.468
creat_grid <- seq(0.5, 2.5, by = 0.05)

mk_cl <- function(sexf) {
  rfi <- (140 - ref_age) / (creat_grid * 100) * (1 - 0.15 * sexf)
  theta1 * rfi^e_renal * (ref_wt / 70)
}

  tibble::tibble(CREAT = creat_grid, CL = mk_cl(0L), sex = "male"),
  tibble::tibble(CREAT = creat_grid, CL = mk_cl(1L), sex = "female")

## Comparison against published expected values

Moore 1999 does not report a Cmax / AUC table directly. The simulation
can be cross-checked against three quantities that are derivable from
the published structural parameters:

| Quantity                                | Expected (Moore 1999)                              | Source                                |
|-----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| AUC_tau (300 mg BID, typical patient)   | dose / CL ~ 300 / 25.1 = 11.95 mg*h/L              | Table 2 (CL/F = 25.1 L/h) + dose      |
| AUC_tau (150 mg BID, typical patient)   | dose / CL ~ 150 / 25.1 = 5.98 mg*h/L               | Table 2 (CL/F = 25.1 L/h) + dose      |
| Effective t1/2                          | ln(2) * V/F / CL = ln(2) * 128 / 25.1 ~ 3.5 h      | Table 2 (V/F = 128 L, CL/F = 25.1)    |
| Tmax (oral)                             | ka >> kel, so ~ ln(ka/kel)/(ka-kel) ~ 0.8 h        | Table 2 (ka = 4.65, kel ~ 0.196 /h)   |

The simulated AUC0-tau medians above land within ~ 1-2% of the
dose / CL expectation (modulo the 13% female sub-cohort, which lowers
CL/F by a factor of 0.85^0.468 ~ 0.926 and accordingly raises AUC).
Cohort-typical Tmax is ~ 1 h and Cmax_ss at 300 mg BID is in the
2000-3000 ng/mL band, consistent with the values mentioned in the
paper's Discussion section (the paper reports observed
Cmax up to ~ 3500 ng/mL in Figure 1).

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Drug-name correction.** The dispatched task metadata listed the
  drug as "Antimicrobial Agents and Chemo" (the journal title); the
  on-disk paper is unambiguously a population PK analysis of
  **lamivudine** in HIV-1-infected adults. The model file and vignette
  are named `Moore_1999_lamivudine.R` / `.Rmd` accordingly.
- **Renal-function index encoding.** Table 2 footnote d defines the
  CL/F covariate as the parenthesised quantity
  `(140 - age / serum creatinine * 100)`, where the printed expression
  is the standard NONMEM short-form for the Cockcroft-Gault-style
  ratio `(140 - AGE) / (CREAT * 100)`. The `* 100` denominator scaling
  centres the index near 1 for a typical adult with normal renal
  function (~ 0.95 at AGE = 36, CREAT = 1.1, no weight or 72-factor
  inside the index) so that the structural `theta_1 = 25.1` retains
  its plain interpretation as CL/F at the reference patient. The
  packaged model uses this reading, with `(1 - 0.15 * SEXF)` providing
  the female 0.85 multiplicative factor inside the power.
- **Weight scaling outside the power term.** Footnote d places
  `weight / 70` outside the `^theta_4` power, not inside. The model
  preserves this: weight enters CL/F linearly (allometric exponent 1)
  rather than as `WT^theta_4`. This is a non-allometric weight
  parameterisation; consumers translating to other weight ranges
  should be aware that the resulting CL/F scales linearly with body
  weight rather than with WT^0.75.
- **Residual error encoded as lognormal (`Cc ~ lnorm(expSd)`).**
  Table 2 footnote f writes the error model as `F * EXP(eps1)` with
  `epsilon = 0.163` variance (40.4% CV). The exact mathematical form
  is multiplicative log-normal; for `eps1` SD ~ 0.4 this is
  numerically close to (but not identical to) a `prop()` residual
  with the same CV. The Methods text also calls it "proportional",
  which in NONMEM popPK papers is commonly used as a generic label
  for both `F * (1 + eps1)` and `F * EXP(eps1)`.
- **CD4 / HIV-1 RNA / CDC classification covariates not retained.**
  Stepwise covariate analysis ruled out all of CD4 cell count,
  HIV-1 RNA PCR, and CDC classification on CL/F and V/F (paper
  Results page 3026: CDC classification gave dOFV = -16.828 on V/F
  alone but vanished once creatinine clearance was in the model;
  CD4 count was redundant with creatinine clearance similarly).
  Race and gender effects on CL/F also vanished once weight was in
  the model. Only the renal-function index and weight survive as
  CL/F covariates; no covariates survive on V/F or ka.
- **Renal-impairment extrapolation.** Only three patients in the
  cohort had Cockcroft-Gault CrCl < 60 mL/min; the paper warns
  explicitly that the model "should not be used as a guide for dose
  modification" in renally impaired patients. The packaged model
  honours that warning by including the covariate exactly as
  estimated, but consumers extrapolating to CrCl values much below
  the cohort range (e.g., for dose-adjustment work-ups) should
  reference the lamivudine product label rather than this model.
- **Lognormal residual SD reported as %CV.** Moore 1999 reports the
  residual variability as 40.4% CV from the raw variance 0.163; we
  encode `expSd = 0.404` (= sqrt(0.163)) directly, matching the
  paper's reported SD on the exponent scale.
- **Bioavailability is absorbed into CL/F and V/F.** The paper
  reports CL/F and V/F (apparent clearance / apparent volume),
  consistent with the oral-only data. No separate bioavailability
  term is estimated; the Discussion notes "assuming an absolute
  bioavailability of 82%" only when comparing to other reports.
  The packaged model preserves the apparent-parameter form, so
  consumers running the model with hypothetical IV dosing should
  divide by ~ 0.82 to recover the implied IV clearance.
- **No correlation reported between eta_CL and eta_V.** Table 2
  reports the two etas as separate values without a covariance term;
  the packaged model uses independent diagonal omegas accordingly.
  Footnote d/e both write `EXP(eta_2)` for the CL/F and V/F
  individual-deviation forms, which is a notation slip in the paper
  (the two parameters have distinct variances 0.124 vs 0.0965); we
  treat them as independent etas as Table 2 itself does.
