Best Practices on QSP Model Reporting for Regulatory Use: perspectives from ISoP QSP SIG Working Group

Abstract

Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) models are increasingly applied to inform decision making across drug development and to support regulatory interactions within model informed drug development (MIDD). QSP supports a broad range of applications across drug development and can be tailored to specific therapeutic areas, mechanisms of action, and contexts of use (CoU). While this diversity is a core strength of QSP, it also presents challenges for reporting for regulatory use. Despite the growing impact of QSP models, there is currently no established guidance on how QSP analyses should be documented and reported for regulatory purposes. This white paper, developed by the International Society of Pharmacometrics (ISoP) QSP Special Interest Group Working Group on Credibility Assessment of QSP for Regulatory Use, seeks to address this gap by proposing best practices for QSP model reporting in regulatory settings. The recommendations are grounded in collective real world experience from regulatory interactions and are aligned with reporting guidance established for physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and reporting principles outlined in ICH M15. Rather than prescribing a rigid, one size fits all template, this work proposes a flexible, tiered reporting framework that accounts for development phase and model impact. The proposed framework is intended to facilitate regulatory review and enhance transparency while accommodating the inherent diversity of QSP modeling.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
