BRUNDAGE, Advisor MARNIE L. PETERSON, Co-Advisor December 2017 © Copyright Ali A. Alhadab 2017 All Rights Reserved AKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people without who this thesis would not have been possible deserve my sincere gratitude. First and foremost, my wholehearted thanks go to Almighty Allah, the most Merciful the most Compassionate, the one who provides me with all I need, guides me throughout my journey, and equips me with the capabilities to accomplish this work. I am thankful and honored to work under the supervision of Dr. Richard Brundage. Not only was he an adviser, but also he was a mentor, friend and father as the same time. Your help, support, guidance, encouragement and patience throughout the program were surely behind my success. Thank you for always being there for me and putting my personal needs and professional aspirations first. You have been my last resort to go to because I knew you would do your best to ensure things go the way I wish. A special thanks to my co-adviser. Dr. Marine Peterson, the person behind my acceptance into the Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology (ECP) graduate program. She was also the one who introduced me to and established the collaboration with Dr. David Boulware. I am really indebted to her in many ways and I cannot thank her enough.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Pharmacy 214. 79 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9539-8. Tuberculosis (TB) is the world’s most deadly infectious disease and causes enormous public health problems. The comorbidity with HIV and the rise of multidrug-resistant TB strains impede successful therapy through drug-drug interactions and the lack of efficient second-line treatments. The aim of this thesis was to support the improvement of anti-TB therapy through development of pharmacometric models, specifically focusing on the novel drug bedaquiline, pharmacokinetic interactions and methods for pooled population analyses. A population pharmacokinetic model of bedaquiline and its metabolite M2, linked to semi-mechanistic models of body weight and albumin concentrations, was developed and used for exposure-response analysis. Treatment response was quantified by measurements of mycobacterial load and early bedaquiline exposure was found to significantly impact the half- life of bacterial clearance.
