1. Pharmacokinetic studies on cladribine
Abstract : The aims of the present study were to delineate the pharmacokinetics, in plasma and leukaemia cells, of cladribine (M), and to describe factors influencing the outcome of administration of CdA in order to individualize and optimize treatment. CdA is a nucleoside analogue with a cytotoxic activity in low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders and childhood acute myelogenous leukaemia. READ MORE

2. Mathematical model development to investigate the pharmacokinetic variability of two anticancer drugs
Abstract : Pharmacokinetic variability in a population is the variability in plasma drug concentrations among individuals. It may, for instance, be caused by differences in genes coding for drug-transport proteins and metabolizing enzymes, amount of body fat, age, sex, patient compliance, diet or disease progression.

3. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling in risk assessment - Development of Bayesian population methods
Abstract : In risk assessment of risk chemicals, variability in susceptibility in the population is an important aspect. The health hazard of a pollutant is related to the internal exposure to the chemical, i.e. the target dose, rather than the external exposure. READ MORE

5. Mechanism-Based Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Modelling of Paclitaxel
Abstract : Paclitaxel (Taxol®) is now widely used against breast, ovarian and non-small-cell lung cancer. Anticancer agents generally have narrow therapeutic indices, often with myelosuppression (mainly neutropenia) as dose-limiting side effect. READ MORE
