FelicienLL/mapbayr: Easy Maximum A Posteriori Bayesian Estimation of PK parameters in R.

mapbayr is a free and open source package for maximum a posteriori bayesian estimation of PK parameters in R. Thanks to a single function, mapbayest(), you can estimate individual PK parameters from:

• a population PK model (coded in mrgsolve),
• a data set with concentrations (NM-TRAN format).

It was designed to be easily wrapped in shiny apps in order to ease model-based Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, also referred to as Model-Informed Prediction Dosing (MIPD).

mapbayr is available on CRAN. You can install the development version from github by executing the following code in R console.

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("FelicienLL/mapbayr")

mapbayr relies on mrgsolve for model implementation and ordinary differential equation solving which requires C++ compilers. If you are a Windows user, you would probably need to install Rtools. Please refer to the installation guide of mrgsolve for additional information.

my_est <- mapbayest(my_model, data = my_data)

As building dataset into a NM-TRAN format can be painful, you can use pipe-friendly obs_rows(), adm_rows() and add_covariates() functions in order to pass administration and observation information, and perform the estimation subsequently.

my_est <- my_model %>% 
  adm_rows(time = 0, amt = 100, rate = 20) %>% 
  obs_rows(time = 6, DV = 3.9) %>% 
  obs_rows(time = 20, DV = 1.1) %>% 
  obs_rows(time = 24, DV = 2, mdv = 1) %>% 
  add_covariates(BW = 90) %>% 
  mapbayest()

The results are returned in a single object (“mapbayests” S3 class) which includes input (model and data), output (etas and tables) and internal arguments passed to the internal algorithm (useful for debugging). Additional methods are provided to ease visualization and computation of a posteriori outcomes of interest.

mapbayr is under development. Your feedback for additional feature requests or bug reporting is welcome. Contact us through the issue tracker.

mapbayr is a generalization of the “MAP Bayes estimation” tutorial available on the mrgsolve blog. Additional features are:

• a unique function to perform the estimation: mapbayest().
• accepts a large variety of structural models thanks to the flexibility of mrgsolve
• flexibility with random effects on parameters, accepting both inter-individual and inter-occasion variability.
• additive, proportional, mixed or exponential (without prior log-transformation of data) residual error models.
• estimate from both parent drug and metabolite simultaneously.
• fit multiple patients stored in a single dataset.
• functions to easily pass administration and observation information, as well as plot methods to visualize predictions and parameter distribution.
• a single output object to ease post-processing, depending on the purpose of the estimation.
• several optimization algorithm available, such as “L-BFGS-B” (the default) or “newuoa”.
• handling data below the limit of quantification.
• estimate only a subset of ETAs defined in the model.
• flatten priors to favor observed data.

Reliability of parameter estimation against NONMEM was assessed for a wide variety of models and data. The results of this validation study were published in CPT:Pharmacometrics & System Pharmacology, and materials are available in a dedicated repository. If you observe some discrepancies between mapbayr and NONMEM on your own model and data, feel free to contact us through the issue tracker.

mapbayr contains a library of example model files (.cpp), accessible with exmodel(). You are invited to perform MAP-Bayesian estimation with your own models. These model files should be slightly modified in order to be “read” by mapbayr with the subsequent specifications:

• Mandatory:
  • Add as many ETA as there are parameters to estimate (i.e. the length of the OMEGA matrix diagonal).
  • Name them as ETAn (n being the N° of ETA).
  • Set 0 as default value.
• Strongly recommended:
  • Provide a description as a plain text

$PARAM @annotated
ETA1 : 0 : CL (L/h)
ETA2 : 0 : VC (L)
ETA3 : 0 : F ()
//do not write ETA(1)
//do not write iETA

• Mandatory:
  • Use a @covariates tag to record covariates in the $PARAM block. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to pass a dataset with covariates columns.
  • Set the reference value.
• Strongly recommended
  • Provide a description as a plain text
  • Provide units in parentheses (or a description of 0/1 coding for categorical covariates)

$PARAM @annotated @covariates
BW : 70 : Body weight (kg)
SEX : 0 : Sex (0=Male, 1=Female)

• Strongly recommended…
  … yet mandatory if you have multiple types of DV, i.e. parent drug + metabolite:
  • A @annotated tag must be used to record compartments.
  • Write OBS in brackets to define the observation compartment(s). Also used by obs_rows() to fill the ‘cmt’ column in your dataset.
  • Write ADM in brackets to define “default” administration compartment(s). This information is not used for optimization process and the mapbayest() function. The information is mandatory if you use adm_rows() to build your dataset in order to automatically set the value of the ‘cmt’ column. Especially useful if you use a model with an absorption from several depot compartment requiring to duplicate administrations lines in the data set.

//example: model with dual zero and first order absorption in compartment 1 & 2, respectively, and observation of parent drug + metabolite 
$CMT @annotated
DEPOT: Depot [ADM]
CENT_PAR: examplinib central [ADM, OBS]
PERIPH : examplinib peripheral
CENT_MET : methylexamplinib central [OBS] 

• Mandatory:
  • The length of the omega matrix must be the same as the number of ETAn provided in $PARAM.
  • The order of the omega values must correspond to the order of the ETAs provided in $PARAM. This cannot be checked by mapbayr !

$OMEGA
0.123 0.456 0.789
$OMEGA @block
0.111 
0.222 0.333
// reminder: omega values can be recorded in multiple $OMEGA blocks

The definition of the $SIGMA block may not be as straightforward as other blocks, but we tried to keep it as simple as possible. Keep in mind that mapbayr always expect a pair of sigma values for each type of dependent variable: the first value for proportional error, the second for additive.

Two situations can be distinguished:

1. You only have one type of concentration to fit, and you did not use the [OBS] assignment in $CMT.

Simply write one pair of sigma values to describe proportional and additive error on your concentrations. This error model will be automatically applied to the compartment where observations were recorded in your dataset (i.e. value of CMT when MDV = 0).

$SIGMA 0.111 0 // proportional error 

$SIGMA 0 0.222 // (log) additive error

$SIGMA 0.333 0.444 // mixed error

1. You have multiple types of DV (parent and metabolite), and/or you used the [OBS] assignment in $CMT.

Write as many pairs of sigma values as there are compartments assigned with [OBS] in $CMT. The order of the pair must respect the order in which compartments were assigned. To put it more clearly, the sigma matrix will be interpreted as such whatever the model :

//example: correlated proportional error between parent and metabolite
$SIGMA @block
0.050 // proportional error on parent drug
0.000 0.000 // additive error on parent drug
0.100 0.000 0.200 // proportional error on metabolite
0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 // additive error on metabolite
// reminder: sigma values can be recorded in multiple $SIGMA blocks

• Mandatory:
  • Refer the concentration variable to fit as DV. Mind the code, especially if concentrations are observed in multiple compartments.
  • Express log-additive error models as exponential. This way, concentrations will automatically be log-transformed during the optimization process, with no necessity to prior log-transform your concentration.

$TABLE
double DV  = (CENTRAL / VC) * exp(EPS(2)) ;

• For fitting parent drug and metabolite simultaneously, refer to them as PAR and MET, and define DV accordingly (only DV will be used during the optimization process, but PAR and MET variables are mandatory for post-processing internal functions)

$TABLE
double PAR = (CENT_PAR / V) * (1 + EPS(1)) ;
double MET = (CENT_MET / V) * (1 + EPS(3)) ;
double DV = PAR ;
if(self.cmt == 4) DV = MET ; 
// reminder: use "self.cmt" to internaly refer to a compartment in a mrgsolve model code. 

Note that mapbayr does not strictly rely on this $ERROR block to define the residual error internally and compute the objective function value, but on information passed in the $SIGMA block. However, we strongly advise you to properly code your $ERROR block with EPS(1), EPS(2) etc…, if only to use your code as a regular mrgsolve model code and simulate random effects.

• Mandatory:
  • Double every expression containing ETA information, with ETAn (will be used for optimization of parameters) and ETA(n) (generated for simulations with random effects like a “regular” mrgsolve model)
  • Mind the attribution to the good ETAn and ETA(n) as respect to the information you provided in $PARAM and $OMEGA. This cannot be checked by mapbayr !

$PK
double CL = TVCL * exp(ETA1 + ETA(1)) ;

• Mandatory:
  • DV must be captured
  • For models with parent + metabolite, PAR and MET must be captured too.
  • Do not capture variables called IPRED and PRED (they will be returned by mapbayest() anyway)
  • Do not capture any ETAn (ETA1, ETA2 etc…) (they will be returned by mapbayest() anyway)
• Strongly recommended:
  • Capture a posteriori values of parameters you are interested in (e.g. CL)
