  • We generalize a previously-studied model for chronic myeloid leu-kemia (CML) [13,10] by incorporating a differential equation which has a Michaelis-Menten model as the steady-state solution to the dynamics. We use this more general non-steady-state formulation to represent the effects of various therapies on patients with CML and apply optimal control to compute regimens with the best outcomes. The advantage of using this more general differential equation formulation is to reduce nonlinearities in the model, which enables an analysis of the optimal control problem using Lie-algebraic computations. We show both the theoretical analysis for the problem and give graphs that represent numerically-computed optimal combination regimens for treating the disease.

  • Figure 1.  Diagram of the dynamical system. The shaded circular regions represent the "populations" or "states" included in the model. Solid arrows extending from or to the populations represent changes in numbers, with inward-pointing arrows signifying increases in numbers and outward-pointing arrows decreases in numbers. Dashed arrows indicate indirect effects leading to increases or decreases. Colored bars represent inhibition of a production or of an indirect effect, due to the represented treatment. Colored arrows represent amplification of a rate or of an indirect effect

    Figure 2.  Comparison of locally optimal controls (left column) and corresponding time-evolution of the states (right column). The top row shows the solutions for the optimal control problem [OC1] with dynamics (29)-(31) while the middle and bottom row show solutions for problem [OC2] with dynamics (32)-(37). For the solution shown in the middle row we chose $(b_1,b_2,b_3)=(5,5,5)$ while $(b_1,b_2,b_3)=(0.05,0.02,0.010)$ for the solution shown in the bottom row
