“Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is the measurement made in the laboratory of a parameter which, with appropriate interpretation, will directly influence prescribing procedures” IFCC/IA-TDMCT Joint Committee 1993
How should we do TDM? • Not to check numbers or “Therapeutic Range” • To describe and understand Drug PK/PD Behavior • Collect informative data to use as Bayesian priors for designing model-based, individualized dosing regimens • Change passive “Monitoring” to active “Management”
The current paradigm Store and analyze data in our Heads, on Paper or in Computers BUT – where’s the link?

Specific Objectives TDM Study • Implementation of Active Therapeutic Monitoring (ATM): • goal-oriented model-based dosing • active guidance and Bayesian adaptive control vs non-guided TDM • Outcomes - clinical and economical benefits • Cost evaluation of old and new TDM process

Dates and timing of samples • Daily measurements • Early morning troughs • But also other times! • Interpretation?
Liver transplant case history • 10 yr old African American boy • Transplant 1998 • Rejection July 1998 & December 2000 • FK levels <1.5 µg/L at 4 mg bid • Fluctuating levels between 1.5-5 µg/L Q: Compliance – high clearance – other?
Conclusions… • TDM informatics is still in its infancy • Passive monitoring should be replaced by active Management • Need better tools to link all clinical data to drug behavior (PK) data • Data base should link patient info with Population PK, Pharmacogenetics (PG), Adverse Events and Clinical Effects (PD) data
