Dear Ray!

❝ "Actual time of sampling should be used in the estimation of the pharmacokinetic parameters […] In multiple-dose studies, the pre-dose sample should be taken immediately before (within 5 minutes) dosing." Now, while inserting time in winnonlin for 2nd, 3rd… predose concentration, whether we have to insert the actual time point/ the protocol specified time? For example if dosing interval is 24 hours, in that case wheather to use 23.92/ 24.00 for calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters?


Which version of WinNonlin? Can you come up with a numerical example?
Are you talking about something like this?
 0     0    0     0    0     0
23.92  1   24.00  1   24.08  1
36.00  2   36.00  2   36.00  2
48.00  1   48.00  1   48.00  1

A dosing interval of 24 will give an AUCτ of 36 (linear trapezoidal rule) for the first and second data set, and 35.96 for the third. WinNonlin 5.2.1 will interpolate to t=24 (the τ you have specified). In the text output the time point 24.00 will be marked (@) and the line
@) Note - the concentration at dose time was added for extrapolation purposes.
will clarify the method.
You get the same results in Phoenix 6.1; The note about extrapolation to t=τ is given in the core-output.
I don’t see a problem here - or what would you suggest?
Phoenix is more flexible in setting up individual dosings. You may even give delayed administrations and define partial areas based on actual time points, etc. But do we really need that?
