Monitoring of erlotinib in pancreatic cancer patients during long-time administration and comparison to a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model

Publication: Cancer Chemother Pharmacol

Purpose

In this study, a therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of erlotinib in pancreatic cancer patients was performed over 50 weeks to reveal possible alterations in erlotinib plasma concentrations. Additionally, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was created to assess such variations in silico.
