New PK Model Takes Some Of The Guesswork Out Of Pediatric Dosing May 27, 2021
May 27, 2021 | A machine learning specialist at Aalto University (Finland) is one of the lead developers of an algorithm for determining drug dosing in children at various stages of maturation, which could one day aid in the design of pediatric clinical trials having a small number of participants. Methods for modeling developmental and physiological differences between children and adults are “quite limited” and, in some cases, can lead to false conclusions because there is too little data to feed into the calculation, according to Eero Siivola, a doctoral candidate in advanced exploratory analytics in the school’s department of computer science.
