forest_plotHere we illustrate the varying one covariate at a time approach, keeping all the others at the reference value or category. A two-compartment pharmacokinetic (PK) model defined with ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is used. Covariates Weight, Albumin and Sex had effects on the Clearance (CL) model parameter while Weight and Sex had effects on the Volume of distribution (V) model parameter. For simplicity, there were no included covariates effects on other PK parameters such as peripheral clearance or volume. The approach is general and can be easily extended to any other ODEs model with multiple covariate effects on multiple model parameters.

We simulate the reference subject having the reference covariate
values defined in the model which are:
Weight = 85 kg, Sex = Female and Albumin = 45 g/L. We also keep the
between subject variability (BSV) to illustrate its effects on the
concentration-time profiles on linear and log linear scales.

Based on our observed covariate data, we compute percentiles of interest that we will use to simulate data at. Common practice is to compute the 5,25,75,95 percentiles (the median being the reference). In some cases, we might want to explore the min, max or other extreme case scenarios. Care should be taken as this approach might generate unrealistic combination of covariates that can never appear in a real patient. The utility function expand.modelframe (written by Benjamin Rich) is defined in the setup section of the vignette and can be found in the source code. It facilitates the creation of a set of covariate values varying one at a time.
reference.values <- data.frame(WT = 85, ALB = 45, SEX = 0)
covcomb <- expand.modelframe(
WT = c(56, 72, 98, 128), # P05, P25, P50, P75, P95
ALB = c(40, 50), # P05, P50, P95
SEX = c(1), # Reference is for SEX=0 (female)
rv = reference.values)
# Add the reference
covcomb <- rbind(covcomb, data.table(reference.values, covname="REF"))
covcomb$ID <- 1:nrow(covcomb)
covcomb| WT | ALB | SEX | covname | ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 56 | 45 | 0 | WT | 1 |
| 72 | 45 | 0 | WT | 2 |
| 98 | 45 | 0 | WT | 3 |
| 128 | 45 | 0 | WT | 4 |
| 85 | 40 | 0 | ALB | 5 |
| 85 | 50 | 0 | ALB | 6 |

As a first step, we simulate without uncertainty and without BSV
using zero_re() at unique combination of covariates and
provide a plot to visualize the effects.

coord_cartesian(ylim=c(0,3.5))First, we will invent a varcov matrix by assuming 15% relative standard errors and correlations of 0.2 across the board. We then simulate a 100 set of parameters using a multivariate normal (kept at 100 for the vignette, use more replicates for a real project). Also, unless the model was written in a way to allow unconstrained parameter values, care should be taken to make sure the simulated parameters are valid and make sense. When available, use the set of parameters from bootstrap replicates.

Second, we generate the sim_parameters dataset using
mvrnorm and then incorporate the uncertainty by simulating
using a different set of parameters (row) for each replicate.

Third, we illustrate how you can iterate over a set of parameters
value using a for loop. We then overlay the previous
simulation results without uncertainty on the one with uncertainty to
visualize the effect of adding it.

we add to the data the BSV intervals computed in an earlier section. We
then do some data manipulation and formatting to produce a plot from the
package function forest_plot. To simplify we will only keep
AUC before revisiting more than one parameter plots at the end.

In this section, we first show a forest_plot built-in
theme, then how you return the ggplot objects as a list for further
editing using regular ‘ggplot2’ code.
theme_benrich along Additional OptionsThis is achieved by setting theme_benrich = TRUE,
specifying that you want no legend
legend_position = "none". With this theme active you can
also control the table_title text and
table_title_size arguments.

You can get the underlying ggplots as a list for further editing by
setting return_list = TRUE and saving it into an object.
The list will contain two objects the first being the main plot and the
second the table. We illustrate how you can modify the look of the plots
using regular ggplot code that modify the facet text color to
gray and italic. Finally we recombine the plots using
egg::ggarrange.

Alternatively, you can launch the shiny app by typing
run_interactiveforestplot(yourdataname). The app will allow
you to interactively edit how the plot looks like using point and
click.
You can also have plots with more than one PK parameter. You may want to facet by parameter, or to use different shape by parameter.
This is achieved by setting paramname_shape = FALSE and
facet_formula = "covname~paramname". We also suppress the
table by using table_position = "none" and reduce the plot
text sizes using base_size = 11.

We leave it up to the reader to edit the plot above to
parse the labels of the shape legend to get subscripts.
While we covered varying one at a time covariate value (marginal effects), we can use observed or simulated distribution of correlated covariates and simulate joint covariate effects as illustrated in the PK Model in Pediatric Patients vignette.
