ABSTRACT Introduction: While the media is engaged and fascinated by the idea of ‘Precision Medicine’, the nuances related to ‘Precision Dosing’ seem to be largely ignored. Assuming the ‘right drug’ is selected, clinicians still need to decide on the ‘right dose’ for individuals. Ideally, optimal dosing should be studied in clinical trials; however, many drugs on the market lack evidence-based dosing recommendations, and small groups of patients (orphan disease populations) are dependent on local guidance and clinician experience to determine drug dosage adjustments. Areas Covered: This report explores the current understanding of dosing adjustment in special populations and examines the requirements for developing ‘in silico’ models for pediatric, elderly and pregnant patients. The report also highlights current use of modeling to provide evidence-based recommendations for drug labeling in the absence of complete clinical trials in orphan disease populations. Expert Opinion: Physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) is an attractive prospect for determining the best drug dosage adjustments in special populations. However, it is not sufficient for individualized, or even stratified dosing, unless the systems (drug-independent) data required to build robust PBPK models are obtained. Such models are not a substitute for clinical trials, but they are an alternative to undocumented and inconsistent guesswork.
