Abstract
Type B haemophilia is a bleeding disorder resulting from a deficiency of coagulation factor IX (FIX). Although gene therapy is a potentially curative treatment option, optimising the dosing of therapeutic genes for patients remains a challenge. Detailed simulation of gene delivery systems is required for improved understanding of the system. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to develop a modelling framework to predict the physiological response of a subject affected by type B haemophilia to a dose of vector. To address this, an integrated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modelling platform was developed based on in vivo clinical data for three patients with severe haemophilia B whose functional plasma levels of FIX are less than 1% of the normal value. The plasma FIX activity was considered as the pharmacological effect while the level of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) demonstrated the hepatocellular toxicity. Both an individual-based modelling approach and a population modelling approach were used to estimate the physiological parameters of the developed PK/PD models. The models were then validated using data of the clinical study before being used in a simulation-based modelling approach to provide dosing recommendations. The results obtained from the study demonstrate a good prediction of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the vector. Model-based simulations were subsequently performed to guide initial dose selection in order to provide clinicians with better tools to make the decision-making process simpler for designing more effective treatment plans.
