This may be useful in JIA, as weight-based dosing and a relatively long interval between infusions have advantages in children.
As a result, evidence based dosing guidelines are lacking.
Our final secondary aim will use data collected above including weight based dosing of azathioprine in mg/kg, the dose of methotrexate per week, and the individual biologic therapy trough level at 14 and 52 weeks.
Tier 3 Assessment Defined in WHO approach to mixtures as an advanced assessment of cumulative risks that uses techniques such as biologically based dose response and probabilistic models of variation in dose and susceptibility [2].
Tier 3 Assessment: Defined in WHO approach to mixtures as an advanced assessment of combined risks that uses techniques such as biologically based dose response and probabilistic models of variation in dose and susceptibility [2].
Theoretically, the use of PK-PD based dosing should result in additional patient benefits beyond those seen with previous versions of the guidelines which did not specify PK-PD basedosingng [ 3].
These results provide a simple biologically based dose-response model and suggest that chemicals which act mechanistically like E2 may also show no threshold dose.
AIM 4: To identify a correlation between the weight based dose (mg/kg) of azathioprine/methotrexate and the biologic trough level by linear regression analysis.
This could have resulted in some children receiving lower than recommended doses of SP reducing the protective efficacy of IPTc and some children receiving more than recommended dose of SP. However, in a community volunteer based delivery system an age based dose regimen is easier to implement than a weight-based dose regimen.

In particular, Dr. Faustman is interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of developmental and reproductive toxicants, characterizing in vitro techniques for developmental toxicology assessment, and development of biologically based dose-response models for non-cancer risk assessment.
