Objective:
Using data pooled from several studies of dalfampridine extended release (ER), a population pharmacokinetic model was developed for the purposes of characterizing the population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dalfampridine-ER with respect to variability in pharmacokinetics, covariates affecting the pharmacokinetics, and whether the current therapeutic dosage represents an optimal dosage. Studies were conducted in healthy volunteers and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients over the course of development and registration of dalfampridine extended release tablets (dalfampridine-ER [Ampyra
]; prolonged-, modified- or sustained-release fampridine [Fampyra
] in some countries).
