Progesterone PopPK study combines machine-learning screening with conventional covariate modeling
A study in European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics modeled subcutaneous aqueous progesterone using single-dose crossover data from 50 healthy Chinese postmenopausal women. Machine-learning approaches screened potential covariates before conventional PopPK evaluation. Height and body-weight effects remained statistically identifiable but had limited clinical significance. Simulated repeated-dose exposure is model-derived, rather than an observed efficacy outcome in fertility patients.
