Is this the dose for you?: the role of modeling

Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2013 Feb;93(2):159-62. doi: 10.1038/clpt.2012.228. Epub 2012 Nov 19.

Abstract

To make an informed benefit-risk evaluation of a drug, a range of doses needs to be evaluated and its dose-response and exposure-response relationships for safety and effectiveness assessed during drug development (International Conference on Harmonisation E4). Once a safe and effective population dose (or doses) has been determined for indicated use(s), the individual patient dose can then be adjusted based on patient-specific factors (e.g., age, race, genetics, organ functions, concomitant medications).
