 protocol preparation

Hello anbu,

❝ kindly help how to calculate time points based on cmax.


You mean tmax.
I use the following rules of thumb, and there's of course room for deviations:
~22 points in total. 6 points prior to tmax, and similar dense sampling after the expected tmax. The last 5-6 points resonably evenly spaced in time.
For some of the products I work with tmax is less than 8 minutes or sumfin and in such situations it is a good idea to spank the PI a little bit and ask her/him what the shortest span of time between two samples is and plan accordingly.


Best regards,
EM.

Hi
For an expected tmax = 3-4 h the blood sampling schedule could be like this: The first blood sample should be collected prior to drug administration while the others are collected 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours post drug administration.
You need to ensure that the first post-dose sample does not represent the Cmax. A wash out period 5 times the t1/2 is expected to be enough.
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Dan

Kind regards and have a nice day
