Cancer Treatment Efficacy: Mechanistic modelling in high-dimensional setting
The response to clinical treatments differs greatly between patients. Pharmacometric modelling is a field in which mechanistic models of longitudinal measurements are developed to quantify treatment responses. These models currently lack the capacity to incorporate high-dimensionality, which becomes an increasingly important part of clinical research due to the development of ‘omics’ technologies. We present a two-step approach to combine mechanistic modelling with the LASSO, where we address two main aims: gain biological understanding through variable selection and make predictions on treatment response for clinical decision making.
