Artificial neural network model for predicting the bioavailability of tacrolimus in patients with renal transplantation.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the current study was to explore the role of ABCB1 and CYP3A5 genetic polymorphisms in predicting the bioavailability of tacrolimus and the risk for post-transplant diabetes. Artificial neural network (ANN) and logistic regression (LR) models were used to predict the bioavailability of tacrolimus and risk for post-transplant diabetes, respectively. The five-fold cross-validation of ANN model showed good correlation with the experimental data of bioavailability (r2 = 0.93-0.96). Younger age, male gender, optimal body mass index were shown to exhibit lower bioavailability of tacrolimus. ABCB1 1236 C>T and 2677G>T/A showed inverse association while CYP3A5*3 showed a positive association with the bioavailability of tacrolimus. Gender bias was observed in the association with ABCB1 3435 C>T polymorphism. CYP3A5*3 was shown to interact synergistically in increasing the bioavailability in combination with ABCB1 1236 TT or 2677GG genotypes. LR model showed an independent association of ABCB1 2677 G>T/A with post transplant diabetes (OR: 4.83, 95% CI: 1.22-19.03). Multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis (MDR) revealed that synergistic interactions between CYP3A5*3 and ABCB1 2677 G>T/A as the determinants of risk for post-transplant diabetes. To conclude, the ANN and MDR models explore both individual and synergistic effects of variables in modulating the bioavailability of tacrolimus and risk for post-transplant diabetes.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Given that a high intrapatient variability (IPV) of tacrolimus whole blood concentration increases the risk for a poor kidney transplant outcome, some experts advocate routine IPV monitoring for detection of high-risk patients. However, attempts to estimate the variance of tacrolimus trough concentrations (TTC) are limited by the need for patients to receive a fixed dose over time and/or the use of linear statistical models. A goal of this study is to overcome the current limitations through the novel application of statistical methodology generalizing the relationship between TTC and dose through the use of nonparametric functional regression modeling. METHODS:With TTC as a response and dose as a covariate, the model employs an unknown bivariate function, allowing for the potentially complex, nonlinear relationship between the two parameters. A dose-adjusted variance of TTC is then derived based on standard functional principal component analysis (FPCA). To assess the model, it was compared against an FPCA-based model and linear mixed-effects models using prediction error, bias, and coverage probabilities for simulated data as well as phase III data from the Astellas new drug application studies for extended-release tacrolimus. RESULTS:Our numerical investigation indicates that the new model better predicts dose-adjusted TTCs compared with the prediction of linear mixed effects models. Estimated coverage probabilities also indicate that the new model accurately accounts for the variance of TTC during the periods of large fluctuation in dose, whereas the linear mixed effects model consistently underestimates the coverage probabilities because of the inaccurate characterization of TTC fluctuation. CONCLUSION:This is the first known application of a functional regression model to assess complex relationships between TTC and dose in a real clinical setting. This new method has applicability in future clinical trials including real-world data sets due to flexibility of the nonparametric modeling approach.
