Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are a group of disorders in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and organ damage. These diseases are difficult to treat due to variability in drug PK among individuals, patient responses to treatment, and the side effects of long-term immunosuppressive therapies. In recent years, pharmacometrics has emerged as a critical tool in drug discovery and development (DDD) and precision medicine. The aim of this review is to explore the diverse roles that pharmacometrics has played in addressing the challenges associated with DDD and personalized therapies in the treatment of AIDs. : This review synthesizes research from the past two decades on pharmacometric methodologies, including Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling, disease progression (DisP) modeling, population modeling, model-based meta-analysis (MBMA), and Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP). The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into pharmacometrics is also discussed. : Pharmacometrics has demonstrated significant potential in optimizing dosing regimens, improving drug safety, and predicting patient-specific responses in AIDs. PBPK and PK/PD models have been instrumental in personalizing treatments, while DisP and QSP models provide insights into disease evolution and pathophysiological mechanisms in AIDs. AI/ML implementation has further enhanced the precision of these models. : Pharmacometrics plays a crucial role in bridging pre-clinical findings and clinical applications, driving more personalized and effective treatments for AIDs. Its integration into DDD and translational science, in combination with AI and ML algorithms, holds promise for advancing therapeutic strategies and improving autoimmune patients' outcomes.
自身免疫性疾病(AIDs)是一组免疫系统攻击人体自身组织,导致慢性炎症和器官损伤的疾病。由于个体间药物药代动力学(PK)的变异性、患者对治疗的反应以及长期免疫抑制疗法的副作用,这些疾病难以治疗。近年来,药物计量学已成为药物发现与开发(DDD)和精准医学中的关键工具。本综述的目的是探讨药物计量学在应对与AIDs治疗中的DDD和个性化治疗相关挑战方面所发挥的多样作用。:本综述综合了过去二十年关于药物计量学方法的研究,包括基于生理的药代动力学(PBPK)建模、药代动力学/药效学(PK/PD)建模、疾病进展(DisP)建模、群体建模、基于模型的荟萃分析(MBMA)和定量系统药理学(QSP)。还讨论了将人工智能(AI)和机器学习(ML)纳入药物计量学的情况。:药物计量学在优化给药方案、提高药物安全性以及预测AIDs患者的个体反应方面已显示出巨大潜力。PBPK和PK/PD模型有助于实现个性化治疗,而DisP和QSP模型则为AIDs的疾病演变和病理生理机制提供了见解。AI/ML的应用进一步提高了这些模型的精度。:药物计量学在弥合临床前研究结果与临床应用之间的差距方面发挥着关键作用,推动了针对AIDs的更个性化、更有效的治疗。它与AI和ML算法相结合,融入DDD和转化科学,有望推进治疗策略并改善自身免疫性疾病患者的治疗效果
