    Notes: Abstract An expert meeting to discuss issues relating to the design of population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies was held in Brussels in March 1995, under the auspices of the European Co-operation in Science and Technology (COST), Medicine (B1) programme. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the experts' experience in designing and performing population PK/PD studies. The topics discussed were current practice, logistical issues, ensuring the accuracy of data, covariate assessment, communication, and protocol design. The main conclusions from the meeting were: 1) a population PK/PD analysis should be one of the objectives of a clinical trial and should not compromise the other objectives; 2) it is particularly important to communicate the purpose of the population PK/PD analysis to the investigators and to convince them of the importance of accurately recording dosing and sampling times; 3) some prior knowledge of the PK and PD models and covariate relationships is necessary for the analysis of sparse phase III data; 4) computer simulation and optimal design measures may be useful in defining sampling times; 5) population methods and objectives must be specified as completely as possible in the protocol.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The interaction of multiple oral doses of cimetidine on the steady-state pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of warfarin was investigated in six healthy male volunteers. Methods: The subjects were given individually adjusted doses of warfarin to achieve therapeutic levels of prothrombin activity. The established daily maintenance oral dose of warfarin was kept stable throughout the trial and, on study days 8–14, each volunteer received a 800-mg daily dose of cimetidine. The degree of anticoagulant response produced by warfarin was quantified by the determination of both the prothrombin time and factor-VII clotting activity. Results: Cimetidine co-administration had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of the more potent S-warfarin but significantly increased by 28% (P 〈 0.05) mean R-warfarin trough plasma concentrations and decreased by 23% (P 〈 0.05) mean R-warfarin apparent clearance. Both prothrombin time and factor-VII clotting activity displayed considerable inter-subject variability and were not significantly affected by concurrent cimetidine treatment. The reduction of apparent clearance of R-warfarin by cimetidine was found to be the effect of inhibition of the formation of warfarin metabolites as determined by apparent formation clearance values (±SD) of R-6-hydroxywarfarin (31.1 ± 7.4 ml/h baseline; 18.5 ± 4.5 ml/h at end of cimetidine treatment; P 〈 0.01), and R-7-hydroxywarfarin (6.9 ± 1.3 ml/h baseline; 4.3 ± 1.1 ml/h at end of cimetidine treatment; P 〈 0.01). Conclusion: Cimetidine stereoselectively affects the steady-state pharmacokinetics of warfarin by inhibiting the disposition of the less potent R-warfarin in humans. However, this interaction is likely to be of minimal clinical significance in most patients.
