Does a linear mixed-effect model provide similar accuracy to a complex biological model for estimating concentration-QTc slope and predicting drug-induced QTc prolongation in simulated datasets?
A simpler linear mixed-effect model using day and time as factor variables can accurately estimate drug-induced QTc prolongation, offering a practical alternative to complex biological models that often suffer from poor convergence.
Huh et al. (2015) studied Drug-induced QTc prolongation. Linear mixed-effect model with day and time as factor variables vs. Complex biological QTc model (oscillatory functions) was evaluated on Bias in drug-induced QTc prolongation prediction. A simpler linear mixed-effect model with day and time as factor variables provided similar accuracy for concentration-QTc slope estimates as a complex biological model, accurately predicting drug-induced QTc prolongation with less than 1 ms bias.
