Abstract Objectives:Defining a safe and effective dose in children is one of the biggest challenges in pediatric drug development. Pharmacometric tools are proposed as powerful quantitative techniques to leverage and integrate the collected data from pediatric clinical trials. Here we demonstrate and discuss the applications of nonlinear mixed...
Many researches have been conducted in the last decades on the determination of the minimal clinically important difference(MCID) for health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores. Several methods have been proposed, generally classified in distribution oranchor-based methods. A joint use of both distribution and anchorbased approaches, using...
Better understanding of pharmacokinetics of oral vinorelbine (VNR) in children would help predicting drug exposure and, beyond, clinical outcome. Here, we have characterized the population pharmacokinetics of oral VNR and studied the factors likely to explain the variability observed in VNR exposure among young patients.
Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults. Baseline health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) is a major subject of concern for these patients. We aimed to assess the independent prognostic value of HRQoL in unresectable glioblastoma (UGB) patients for death risk stratification. One hundred and thirty‐four patients with UGB...
