Table 4. Pharmacokinetics.

Pharmacokinetics
 ➢ Aimed to describe factor plasma concentration over time and the differences between individuals
 ➢ PK analysis procedures:
  - Traditional multiple sampling analyses: limited by need for washout period and high number of blood collections after a single infusion
  - Population PK models: no washout period, low number of collections, consider patient's covariates
 ➢ PopPK tools: NONMEM-7, 69 myPKFiT, 46 WAPPS-HEMO (McMaster Pop-PK), 47 Hemotik 50 (see Table 5 )
Limitations and unmet needs
 ➢ Lack of awareness of PopPK models to guide personalized prophylaxis leads to misconceptions:
  - Too complex to be used in daily practice
  - Benefit is not superior
  - Saving factor/doses rarely occurs
  - Poor adherence precludes from obtaining benefit
 ➢ Time required to achieve expertise and use on a regular basis not suitable for rushed physicians
 ➢ Overuse
