Dear Colleague:
The Laboratory of Applied Pharmacokinetics of the USC School of
Medicine is putting on a pharmacokinetic conference on Friday and Saturday,
February 21st and 22nd, 1997, on "Parametric and Nonparametric Population
PK/PD Modeling, Modeling Individualized Antibiotic Therapy and Its Effects,
and 'Multiple Model' Individualization of Drug Dosage". The emphasis will
be on Population Modeling, on modeling drug diffusion into simulated
endocardial vegetations, on modeling the Post-Antibiotic effect, and on
models of bacterial growth and their killing by antibiotics.
WHERE? WHEN? The conference will be held in the First Floor Conference
Room and the Computer Classroom of the University of Southern California
School of Pharmacy, 1985 Zonal Avenue, Los Angeles California, 90033, on
Friday and Saturday, February 21st and 22nd, 1997. One must arrange travel,
hotel, and meal accommodations independently.
OBJECTIVES. The conference objectives are to increase the understanding and
hands - on use of Parametric and Nonparametric Population Pharmacokinetic
Modeling and its role in optimal Bayesian Model-Based, Goal-Oriented,
individualized drug therapy. The concepts and software to implement them
(the USC*PACK clinical software and the parametric iterative 2-stage
Bayesian (IT2B) and nonparametric EM (NPEM) programs) are intended for
general use, with special application to the optimal modeling of and therapy
with cardiovascular drugs, antibiotics, therapy of AIDS, cancer, transplant
situations, psychiatric illnesses, and in Phase 1-2 and 2-3 trials, and
concentration-controlled clinical trials. Information obtained in this
course can also be applied on other equivalent software.
WHO IS IT FOR? The conference is for physicians and pharmacists with a
working knowledge of pharmacokinetics (Vd, Kel, etc) to apply modern parametric
and nonparametric modeling concepts to the study of population models. Methods
to describe diffusion of antibiotics into simulated endocardial vegetations, the
post-antibiotic effect and its results on bacterial killing will be discussed,
and 'Multiple Model' (MM) approaches to optimally precise dosage regimens will
be introduced. Applications to AZT, Trimethoprim,
Aminoglycosides, Vancomycin, Digoxin, and other drugs will also be discussed.
HANDS-ON SESSIONS! The workshop will be especially oriented around hands-on
use of the software, to maximally familiarize the participants with its
practical use.
BRING YOUR NOTEBOOK! For those who already have or who wish to obtain
relevant clinical software for this workshop, and who wish to bring it
to the workshop in their own laptop or notebook computer, you are warmly
invited to do so.
