C0 = the model estimated Tac trough level for a theoretical dose of 1000 mg (the real trough level can be calculated by dividing this value by 1000 and multiplying by the patient dose) (ai,bi) = parameters of the gamma distributions, r = the fraction of dose absorbed following the first gamma function, F = bioavailability coefficient, AIV = initial blood concentration obtained after a bolus IV injection, 𝜃CYP3A = parameter representing the effect of the CYP3A covariate on the typical value of the Tac blood concentrations. For more details, see Supplemental Data 1. alpha = elimination parameter.
