Riluzole, a benzothiazole sodium channel blocker that received US Food and Drug Administration approval to attenuate neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 1995, was found to be safe and potentially efficacious in a spinal cord injury (SCI) population, as evident in a phase I clinical trial. The acute and progressive nature of traumatic SCI and the complexity of secondary injury processes can alter the pharmacokinetics of therapeutics. A 1‐compartment with first‐order elimination population pharmacokinetic model for riluzole incorporating time‐dependent clearance and volume of distribution was developed from combined data of the phase 1 and the ongoing phase 2/3 trials. This change in therapeutic exposure may lead to a biased estimate of the exposure‐response relationship when evaluating therapeutic effects. With the developed model, a rational, optimal dosing scheme can be designed with time‐dependent modification that preserves the required therapeutic exposure of riluzole.
