TABLE 2

Comparison of acetaminophen PBPK model predicted and observed PK data

Clinical studies were used as the training and validation sets. The observed and the predicted Cmax (µg/ml) and AUC (µg⋅h/ml) (mean, lower and higher 95% CI of the proteomics data of DMEs) for these studies are shown for all pediatric and adult populations and for the intravenous and oral routes of administration. The simulated mean Cmax (µg/ml) and AUC (µg⋅/ml) values were compared with the observed data and the acceptance criteria [on the basis of bioequivalence criterion (1.25-fold), 2-fold criterion, and population-based criterion] was determined. Study ID in the table represent the following: 1 (Clements et al., 1984); 2 (Singla et al., 2012); 3 (Rawlins et al., 1977); 4 (Perucca and Richens, 1979); 5 (Prescott, 1980); 6 (Zapater et al., 2004); 7 (Rostami-Hodjegan et al., 2002); 8 (Manyike et al., 2000); 9 (Kamali et al., 1992); 10 (Prescott, 1980); 11 (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/nda/2010/022450Orig1s000ClinPharmR.pdf), and 12 (Rømsing et al., 2001).
