# Population

Lodise et al. 2018 developed a population PK model of iclaprim, a bacterial
dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, from pooled data of the ASSIST-1 and
ASSIST-2 phase 3 trials in adults with complicated skin and skin-structure
infections (cSSSI). 470 patients (241 from ASSIST-1 and 235 from ASSIST-2)
contributed 3,061 plasma iclaprim concentrations to the model fit; subjects
were sampled on two occasions per protocol -- the first occasion after the
first dose (day 1) and the second occasion on day 4 (+/- 1 day) of treatment.
Across both trials, iclaprim was administered at 0.8 mg/kg infused
intravenously over 0.5 h every 12 h for 8 to 14 days.

Baseline demographics (Lodise 2018 Table 3): weight 42-143 kg
(mean 79 +/- 17.1, median 76 kg), height 1.29-1.96 m, BMI 16.8-54.7 kg/m^2,
ideal weight 28.8-89.5 kg, age 18-87 years (mean 47.8 +/- 15.3, median
47.5 years), Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance 18-172 mL/min (mean 99 +/-
29), ALT 0.04-245 SI units (mean 13.4 +/- 21.6), total bilirubin 1.7-40.9 SI
units (mean 7.5 +/- 5.4). Patients with BMI > 40 and patients with estimated
creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min were excluded from the ASSIST studies.
Disease-severity classification (severe vs not severe cSSSI) was retained as a
covariate on inter-compartmental clearance Q in the final model.

The same metadata is available programmatically via
`readModelDb("Lodise_2018_iclaprim")()$population`.

# Virtual cohort

Original observed concentrations are not publicly available. The simulations
below use a virtual cohort whose covariate distributions mirror the Lodise
2018 Table 3 baseline demographics: 200 subjects in each of four dosing-regimen
strata (the four regimens summarised in Lodise 2018 Table 2). All cohorts share
the same underlying demographic distribution; doses differ across strata.

# Replicate published figures

## Steady-state concentration-time profile by regimen

Lodise 2018 does not publish explicit numerical concentration-time profiles
for the four dosing regimens; Table 2 summarises the regimens via their
steady-state PK / PD endpoints (Cmaxss, AUC0-24ss, AUC/MIC, T > MIC). The plot
below shows the simulated VPC over the steady-state dosing interval (the
12-hour window between the 5th and 6th doses, i.e. between 60 and 72 h after
the first dose) for each regimen.

```{r figure-steady-state-vpc}
last_dose_t <- (N_DOSES - 1L) * DOSE_INTERVAL
sim_ss <- sim |>
  filter(time >= last_dose_t,
         time <= last_dose_t + DOSE_INTERVAL,
         !is.na(Cc), Cc > 0) |>
  mutate(tad = time - last_dose_t)

    )
  ) +
  theme_minimal()
```

# PKNCA validation

Steady-state NCA over the 12-hour dosing interval between doses 5 and 6 (the
final inter-dose interval simulated). For each regimen we compute Cmaxss
(maximum concentration during the steady-state interval) and AUC over the
12-hour interval; the AUC over 24 hours at steady state (AUC0-24ss in Lodise
2018 Table 2) is twice the 12-hour AUC because the regimen is q12h.

```{r pknca}
sim_nca <- sim |>

  select(id, tad, Cc, regimen)

# The events table holds a single addl-encoded dose row per subject at t = 0;
# the 6th dose at t = 60 h is generated inside rxSolve via ii / addl. For the
# PKNCA dose table we represent the steady-state dose explicitly at tad = 0
# (one row per (regimen, id)) using the per-subject `amt` recorded in events.

)
```

## Comparison against published NCA (Lodise 2018 Table 2)

Lodise 2018 Table 2 reports the median (IQR) Cmaxss and AUC0-24ss for the
four regimens. The simulated values above can be doubled (AUC0-24ss =
2 * auclast) for the AUC comparison; the Cmaxss values are directly
comparable.

| Regimen | Source Cmaxss (ng/mL) | Source AUC0-24ss (ng*h/mL) |
|---------|-----------------------|------------------------------|
| 0.8 mg/kg over 0.5 h | 702 (572-953)   | 3,865 (2,992-5,394) |
| 64 mg over 2 h       | 524 (411-679)   | 3,970 (3,092-5,540) |
| 72 mg over 2 h       | 590 (462-764)   | 4,466 (3,479-6,233) |
| 80 mg over 2 h       | 655 (514-849)   | 4,962 (3,865-6,926) |

The simulated medians should agree with the source paper to within the
variability expected from a 200-subject virtual cohort sampled from a
truncated normal demographic distribution (rather than the exact
ASSIST-1 / ASSIST-2 patient covariates). Differences larger than ~20% would
warrant investigation; differences within ~10% are expected given the
synthetic cohort.

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Off-diagonal IIV covariances not modelled.** Lodise 2018 retained a block
  (correlated) IIV structure for V1, CL, and V2 in the final NONMEM run
  ("$OMEGA BLOCK"), but Table 1 tabulates only the diagonal CV% values for
  each parameter. Off-diagonal covariances are not reported, and no
  supplementary control stream is on disk for this extraction (the task
  metadata lists `Supplements: (none)`). The packaged model implements
  diagonal-only IIV; correlation between simulated eta_CL, eta_V1, and eta_V2
  is therefore zero, whereas the source paper's simulation would have non-zero
  correlations. This is a stochastic-VPC deviation only; typical-value
  predictions (zero-RE simulation, used for the dotted-line typical-patient
  curves and for `rxode2::zeroRe()`-based replication of the Table 2 Cmaxss
  and AUC0-24ss columns) are unaffected.

- **Additive-linear NONMEM theta-sum form preserved.** Lodise 2018 uses the
  uncommon additive theta-sum form for typical-value parameters
  (`CL = theta_int + theta_age * AGE + ...`) rather than the more common
  multiplicative-power form (`CL = theta_ref * (AGE / AGE_ref)^theta_age * ...`)
  used by most popPK papers. The model file reproduces the additive form
  verbatim so the source-paper equations match line-for-line; this means
  reading `cl_typ <- exp(lcl) + e_age_cl * AGE + ...` inside `model()` rather
  than the `exp(lcl + etalcl) * (1 + ...)` pattern seen elsewhere in
  nlmixr2lib (`Chung_2013_vancomycin.R` shows the multiplicative-deviation
  form; this file follows a different convention dictated by the source).
  The covariate-effect parameter names (`e_age_cl`, `e_wt_vc`, `e_sex_cl`,
  `e_occ_cl`, `e_infect_csssi_sev_q`) follow the canonical
  `e_<cov>_<param>` rule with units L/h-per-year, L-per-kg, etc. (additive
  slopes), not unitless multiplicative coefficients.

- **Sex coded as SEXF (canonical) but Lodise uses a male indicator.** The
  source paper coded sex as 1 = male / 0 = female, with female as the
  reference category (CL intercept theta2 = 36.1 is the female value).
  The packaged model stores sex under the canonical SEXF (1 = female,
  0 = male) and recovers the literal source-paper coefficient by computing
  `sex_male <- 1 - SEXF` and applying `e_sex_cl * sex_male` inside model().
  This is the Bajaj_2017_nivolumab convention (see covariate-columns.md
  SEXF entry, Bajaj 2017 example).

- **Occasion is a time-varying fixed-effect categorical, not IOV.** Lodise
  2018 tested inter-occasion variability (IOV; random effect) during model
  building and removed it from the final model; what survived in the final
  irreducible model is a binary day-1-or-2 vs day-4 categorical (paper:
  "occasion") with a deterministic +3.97 L/h CL shift on day 4. The packaged
  model carries this under the canonical OCC column with OCC = 1 mapping to
  day 1-2 samples and OCC = 2 mapping to day 4 (+/- 1 day) samples; the
  binary day-4 indicator is decomposed inside model() as `occ_day4 <- (OCC == 2)`.
  The vignette simulation switches OCC at t = 72 h (start of "day 4"); a
  finer-grained encoding could be applied at data-assembly time per the
  paper's `day 4 +/- 1 day` window.

- **Severity-of-infection (SOI) is a within-cohort severity indicator on Q.**
  Lodise 2018 retained SOI (severe vs not severe cSSSI) as a covariate on
  inter-compartmental clearance Q only, with a large shift (+13.5 L/h, an
  eight-fold increase in Q from 1.85 L/h to 15.35 L/h). The paper does not
  detail the clinical criteria that classified a patient as severe. This is
  registered as the new canonical `DIS_INFECT_CSSSI_SEV` (see
  `inst/references/covariate-columns.md`) and is operator-decoded from any
  source data assembler's protocol-specific severity column.

- **Synthetic cohort demographics.** Lodise 2018 Table 3 does not tabulate
  sex frequencies, severity-of-infection prevalence, or the joint distribution
  of WT / AGE / SEXF / OCC / SOI. The virtual cohort uses a 50/50 sex split,
  50/50 severity split, and independent normal sampling of WT and AGE
  truncated to the reported ranges (mean 79 +/- 17.1 kg, 47.8 +/- 15.3 yr).
  This is a coarser approximation than a full demographic-imputation model;
  for an exact replication of the ASSIST-1 / ASSIST-2 cohort users would need
  the original patient-level demographic data, which is not publicly
  available.

- **OCC encoded as a step at t = 72 h.** The paper's "occasion" sampling
  schedule was day 1 (after the first dose) vs day 4 (+/- 1 day) of
  treatment. The simulation encodes OCC = 1 for t < 72 h (i.e. doses 1-5
  spanning the first three days) and OCC = 2 for t >= 72 h (the start of
  day 4). A more granular encoding could split at any time in the (day 3 to
  day 5) range without changing the published Cmaxss / AUC predictions at
  steady state, since the day-4 effect is fully expressed by the steady-state
  6th-dose interval used in the NCA above.

- **No erratum verified.** No erratum or corrigendum for Lodise 2018 was
  identified at extraction time. The model file's `reference` field points
  to the original publication only.
