Population PK parameter estimates

NonbleedingBleeding
CLtot,pop (mL/h per 70 kg)(CLNL,pop. CLL,pop) 
 1st dose 58.5 (31.3-27.2) 87.2 (60.0, 27.2 fixed) 
 2nd to <5th dose 44.7 (17.5-27.2)  
 ≥5th dose 41.6 (14.4-27.2)  
Vdpop (L/70 kg) 
 1st dose 5.5 4.4 
 2nd to <5th dose 6.5  
 ≥5th dose 8.0  
Exponent for predose sC5b-9 0.53 0.52 
Exponent for body weight 0.97 for CL0.63 for Vd 1.03 for CL0.74 for Vd 
Interindividual variability 44.7% for CL33.6% for Vd 31.6% for CL34.5% for Vd 
Residual proportional variability 0.11 0.084 
NonbleedingBleeding
CLtot,pop (mL/h per 70 kg)(CLNL,pop. CLL,pop) 
 1st dose 58.5 (31.3-27.2) 87.2 (60.0, 27.2 fixed) 
 2nd to <5th dose 44.7 (17.5-27.2)  
 ≥5th dose 41.6 (14.4-27.2)  
Vdpop (L/70 kg) 
 1st dose 5.5 4.4 
 2nd to <5th dose 6.5  
 ≥5th dose 8.0  
Exponent for predose sC5b-9 0.53 0.52 
Exponent for body weight 0.97 for CL0.63 for Vd 1.03 for CL0.74 for Vd 
Interindividual variability 44.7% for CL33.6% for Vd 31.6% for CL34.5% for Vd 
Residual proportional variability 0.11 0.084 

The final model for nonbleeding patients is as follows: CL=CLL+CLNL,CLL=CLL,pop×(WT/70)0.97,CLNL=CLNL,pop×(sC5b9/244)0.53×(WT/70)0.97,Vd=Vdpop×(WT/70)0.63.

Final model for bleeding patients is as follows: CL=CLL+CLNL,CLL=CLL,pop×(WT/70)1.03,CLNL=CLNL,pop×(sC5b9/244)0.52x(WT/70)1.03, Vd=Vdpop× (WT/70)0.74.

where CLNL,pop is the eculizumab population mean nonlinear clearance for a 70-kg patient; CLLpop, is the eculizumab population mean linear clearance for a 70-kg patient; CLtot,pop is the population mean total clearance defined as sum of CLNLpop and CLLpop; Vdpop, is the population mean volume of distribution for a 70-kg patient; and WT is actual body weight (in kilograms).
