Structure

A two-compartment model, driven by weight and creatinine clearance.

Study population

Transplant patients — Japan and Asia. Fitted to 95 patients and 285 concentration observations.

Covariate As reported

Implementation notes

Model developed specifically for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation with increased volumes of distribution compared to general population.
