description Pharmacometrics and the utilization of population pharmacokinetics play an integral role in model-informed drug discovery and development (MIDD). Recently, there has been a growth in the application of deep learning approaches to aid in areas within MIDD. In this study, a deep learning model, LSTM-ANN, was developed to predict olanzapine drug concentrations from the CATIE study. A total of 1527 olanzapine drug concentrations from 523 individuals along with 11 patient-specific covariates were used in model development. The hyperparameters of the LSTM-ANN model were optimized through a Bayesian optimization algorithm. A population pharmacokinetic model using the NONMEM model was constructed as a reference to compare to the performance of the LSTM-ANN model. The RMSE of the LSTM-ANN model was 29.566 in the validation set, while the RMSE of the NONMEM model was 31.129. Permutation importance revealed that age, sex, and smoking were highly influential covariates in the LSTM-ANN model. The LSTM-ANN model showed potential in the application of drug concentration predictions as it was able to capture the relationships within a sparsely sampled pharmacokinetic dataset and perform comparably to the NONMEM model.
