Abstract

A 2-compartment pharmacokinetic model for CP-724,714 was developed using concentration-time data from 30 cancer patients.

  • Concentration-time data included 484 observations from patients receiving various dosing regimens of CP-724,714.
  • The model showed inter-subject variability in oral elimination clearance and volume of distribution.
  • Body weight was found to influence the clearance rate, reducing variability by approximately 20%.
  • No significant effects of age, race, or liver metastasis on the drug's disposition were observed.
  • The pharmacokinetic model can be used to simulate future clinical trials for CP-724,714.
