11 Sampling windows determination 3 stage approach Stage : Optimisation of fixed -optimal time points Stage : Assuming a distribution uniform or loguniform efine a target mean efficiency level, eff 0 Optimise one window length at a time using a quadratic function δ arg min δ δ Δ [( ] W eff ( Ψ, Ξ ( eff 0

12 Sampling windows determination Stage 3: Evaluate the efficiency of the oint sampling windows eff ( Ψ, Ξ W ( Δ Check if eff is greater than eff 0 if not (ideally reduce the window lengths by equal percentage, % and obtain a new vector for the lengths of the sampling windows δ δ ( new ( old ( old ( δ * 0.0 Repeat Stage 3 until the required efficiency level is obtained Take the last vector of sampling windows lengths as the optimal sampling windows lengths

13 Sampling windows determination Apart from mean efficiency level, percentiles can also be used - mean efficiency can produce variation in the realized design depending on distribution of samples within the windows Sampling at or close to boundaries less efficient design Sampling at or close to fixed -optimal time points more efficient design Constraints during optimisation especially if any of the fixed -optimal time points is at the boundary or near the boundary Ensure sampling windows do not extend outside the design space (sampling at negative time points 3

24 Sampling windows determination Conclusion Sampling windows provide adequate flexibility (controlled flexibility for sample collection The new approach is efficient and reflects parameter sensitivities This approach can be applied to both exact and continuous design as well as multiresponse designs Choice of efficiency level, criteria function and parameter distribution must be balanced against other design properties Efficient population PK experiment can provide improved parameter estimates and can help to reduce cost and time 4
