Tucker, G.T. (2017) Personalized Drug Dosage – Closing the Loop. Pharmaceutical Research, 34 (8). pp. 1539-1543. ISSN 0724-8741
Abstract
A brief account is given of various approaches to the individualization of drug dosage, including the use of pharmacodynamic markers, therapeutic monitoring of plasma drug concentrations, genotyping, computer-guided dosage using ‘dashboards’, and automatic closed-loop control of pharmacological action. The potential for linking the real patient to his or her ‘virtual twin’ through the application of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling is also discussed.
