❝ It sounds like you do not have a procedure that describes the choice of points in the elimination phase? Would be a good idea to have one for future purposes, especially when or if you do a pivotal study.
Remember some old posts, especially that one? My resume:
- All automated procedures are restricted to methods available in the software. AFAIK all commercial programs use solely max. R²adj. Following our discussions here only bear offers five (!) different automated methods: R²adj (ARS), Akaike’s information criterion (AIC), Two-Times-Tmax method (TTT), TTT-ARS, TTT-AIC.
- We (Martin & Jack with some moral support from myself) have done simulations comparing the automated methods (our manuscript is at the bottom of the to-do-pile; volunteering co-authors with some knowledge in R are mostly welcome!). As expected especially flip-flop-PK (ka≤kel) is nasty. Though we have found some differences between methods in terms of bias for λz, the differences diminish when it comes to the calculation of AUC∞.
- There is a rank order where automated methods might fail: 1 compartment < 2+ compartments < MR formulations (especially with “flat” peaks) < pulsed formulations. I work a lot on the latter and don’t use the automated method even as an initial guess…
- All (!) papers and textbooks emphasize the importance of inspection of automated fits and corrective measures if deemed necessary (=eye-balling).
I would not be so radical like Maria Durisova stating at David's list:
AUCt to AUCinf ratio is meaningless. The reason for this is that time "t" is selected by a pharmacokinetician, consequently AUCt to AUCinf depends on the pharmacokinetician choice.
