Targeted randomization dose optimization trials enable fractional dosing of scarce drugs.
Administering drug at a dose lower than that used in pivotal clinical trials, known as fractional dosing, can stretch scarce resources. Implementing fractional dosing with confidence requires understanding a drug's dose-response relationship.

Dose-response relationship in phase I clinical trials: A European Drug Development Network (EDDN) collaboration study. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction: Because a dose–response relationship is characteristic of conventional chemotherapy, this concept is widely used for the development of novel cytotoxic (CTX) drugs. However, the need to reach the MTD to obtain optimal benefit with molecularly targeted agents (MTA) is controversial.

Tacrolimus concentration/dose ratio as a therapeutic drug monitoring strategy: The influence of gender and comedication [PDF]
Background/Aim. A combination of tacrolimus and other drugs such as corticosteroids has been commonly used immunosuppresive regimens. On the other hand, there is a growing body of evidence that male and female may differ in their response to the

Evaluation of the anticoagulant effect of vitamin K antagonists in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrilation [PDF]
Background/Aim. Despite the introduction of new oral anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivoroxaban, apixaban), vitamin K antagonists (VKA), such as warfarin and acenocoumarol are still the most widely used oral anticoagulants for the treatment of nonvalvular ...

A strategy to model nonmonotonic dose-response curve and estimate IC50. [PDF]
The half-maximal inhibitory concentration IC[Formula: see text] is an important pharmacodynamic index of drug effectiveness. To estimate this value, the dose response relationship needs to be established, which is generally achieved by fitting monotonic ...
