The scientifically determined schedule of administration for a therapeutic agent, particularly hormones or peptides, which is meticulously tailored to an individual’s unique pharmacokinetics, hormonal rhythms, and specific therapeutic goals. This cadence aims to precisely mimic the body’s natural, pulsatile secretion patterns for optimal effect. It is a hallmark of truly personalized endocrinology.
Origin
This clinical term combines “precision dosing” (exact, individualized drug quantity) with “cadence” (a rhythmic sequence or flow), highlighting the importance of both the dose amount and the precise timing of administration. It reflects an advanced understanding of endocrine chronobiology.
Mechanism
Cadence is often established by analyzing a patient’s endogenous hormonal signaling frequency and the drug’s half-life data, allowing for timed doses that prevent supraphysiological peaks and sub-therapeutic troughs. By synchronizing external administration with intrinsic biological rhythms, this approach maximizes receptor response and minimizes negative feedback, ensuring optimal therapeutic efficacy and safety.
