    الوصف: Prolonging ambulation is an important treatment goal in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) could provide sensitive parameters to study the efficacy of clinical trials aiming to preserve ambulation. However, quantitative descriptions of the natural history of gait features in DMD are first required. The overall goal was to provide a full delineation of the progressive gait pathology in children with DMD, covering the entire period of ambulation, by performing a so-called mixed cross-sectional longitudinal study. Firstly, to make our results comparable with previous literature, we aimed to cross-sectionally compare 31 predefined gait features between children with DMD and a typically developing (TD) database (1). Secondly, we aimed to explore the longitudinal changes in the 31 predefined gait features in growing boys with DMD using follow-up 3DGA sessions (2). 3DGA-sessions (n = 124) at self-selected speed were collected in 27 boys with DMD (baseline age: 4.6–15 years). They were repeatedly measured over a varying follow-up period (range: 6 months–5 years). The TD group consisted of 27 children (age: 5.4–15.6 years). Per measurement session, the spatiotemporal parameters, and the kinematic and kinetic waveforms were averaged over the selected gait cycles. From the averaged waveforms, discrete gait features (e.g., maxima and minima) were extracted. Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to cross-sectionally analyze the differences between DMD at baseline and TD (1). Linear mixed effect models were performed to assess the changes in gait features in the same group of children with DMD from both a longitudinal (i.e., increasing time) as well as a cross-sectional perspective (i.e., increasing baseline age) (2). At baseline, the boys with DMD differed from the TD children in 17 gait features. Additionally, 21 gait features evolved longitudinally when following-up the same boys with DMD and 25 gait features presented a significant cross-sectional baseline age-effect. The current study quantitatively described the longitudinal alterations in gait features in boys with DMD, thereby providing detailed insight into how DMD gait deteriorates. Additionally, our results highlight that gait features extracted from 3DGA are promising outcome measures for future clinical trials to quantify the efficacy of novel therapeutic strategies.

    الوصف: Purpose In this paper we investigated a new method for dose-response analysis of longitudinal data in terms of precision and accuracy using simulations. Methods The new method, called Dose-Response Mixed Models for Repeated Measures (DR-MMRM), combines conventional Mixed Models for Repeated Measures (MMRM) and dose-response modeling. Conventional MMRM can be applied for highly variable repeated measure data and is a way to estimate the drug effect at each visit and dose, however without any assumptions regarding the dose-response shape. Dose-response modeling, on the other hand, utilizes information across dose arms and describes the drug effect as a function of dose. Drug development in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is complicated by many factors, primarily by the slow progression of the disease and lack of predictive biomarkers. Recently, new approaches and biomarkers are being explored to improve efficiency in CKD drug development. Proteinuria, i.e. urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) is increasingly used in dose finding trials in patients with CKD. We use proteinuria to illustrate the benefits of DR-MMRM. Results The DR-MMRM had higher precision than conventional MMRM and less bias than a dose-response model on UACR change from baseline to end-of-study (DR-EOS). Conclusions DR-MMRM is a promising method for dose-response analysis.

    الوصف: Clinical trials are needed to evaluate new treatments. In late-stage clinical trials, failures are mostly due to lack of efficacy. Fit-for-purpose analysis methods will likely increase the success rates and advance drug development by providing higher precision to support decisions such as go/no-go, dose selection, or sample size. This thesis presents new methods for analysis of composite scale data, and comparisons of prediction precision of new and standard analysis methods. Composite scale data arise from questions/items rated with integers. A total score can be derived, which is discrete and bounded. Item response theory (IRT) models are the natural choice for such data, since they use the item-level information. However, when only the total score is available they cannot be used. The bounded integer (BI) model is a new method for discrete, bounded outcomes. With composite scale total score data, it had superior fit compared to standard methods, because it respects the nature of the data. Further, a new method, formally linking IRT models to models for total score, was developed. The expected mean and variance, given an IRT model, was implemented in BI and continuous variable models. This improved fit, allowed estimation of IRT parameters, and allowed comparison of different model types.The prediction precision of both outcome and parameters were investigated with different methods, ranging from t-test to mechanistic pharmacometric models, for composite scale and continuous data. The most suitable method depended on the purpose, for example mechanistic models are superior at establishing a drug’s site of action.In conclusion, the choice of method should be based on the primary question, and also the data collected. The method should not be more complex than necessary, and the nature of the data respected. This thesis will help modellers select the most appropriate analysis method for a problem at hand.

    الوصف: Total score (TS) data is generated from composite scales consisting of several questions/items, such as the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). The analysis method that most fully use the information gathered is item response theory (IRT) models, but these are complex and require item-level data which may not be available. Therefore, the TS is commonly analysed with standard continuous variable (CV) models, which do not respect the bounded nature of data. Bounded integer (BI) models do respect the data nature but are not as extensively researched. Mixed models for repeated measures (MMRM) are an alternative that requires few assumptions and handles dropout without bias. If an IRT model exists, the expected mean and standard deviation of TS can be computed through IRT-informed functions – which allows CV and BI models to estimate parameters on the IRT scale. The fit, performance on external data, and parameter precision (when applicable) of CV, BI and MMRM to analyse simulated TS data from the MDS-UPDRS motor subscale is investigated in this work. All models provided accurate predictions and residuals without trends, but the fit of CV and BI models was improved by IRT-informed functions. The IRT-informed BI model had more precise parameter estimates than the IRT-informed CV model. The IRT-informed models also had the best performance on external data, while the MMRM model was worst. In conclusion: 1) IRT-informed functions improve TS-analyses and 2) IRT-informed BI models had more precise IRT parameter estimates than IRT-informed CV models.
