What is a pharmacokinetic SHAM analysis and what is it used for in the pharmaceutical industry

SHAM = slope, height, area, first time moment.

These pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters are useful for non-compartmental and identifying the basic model, the type of model it is and the structure of the model that can describe the data. This model can then be used for simulations for calculating what may be expected in untested scenarios.

For example the basic model/type/structure should be analyzed in terms of its linearity and stationarity:

Could be a:

Mammillary Plasma Clearance Model

Organ Clearance Model

Reversible Compartment Model
