Evolution of the Systems Pharmacokinetics-Pharmacodynamics Model for Antibody-Drug Conjugates to Characterize Tumor Heterogeneity and In Vivo Bystander Effect

The objective of this work was to develop a systems pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) model that can characterize in vivo bystander effect of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in a heterogeneous tumor. To accomplish this goal, a coculture xenograft tumor with 50% GFP-MCF7 (HER2-low) and 50% N87 (HER2-high) cells was developed. The relative composition of a heterogeneous tumor for each cell type was experimentally determined by...
