This study was a prospective, interventional, two-part pilot clinical study conducted over 3 months on cirrhotic patients with diabetes mellitus and diabetic neuropathy, evaluating the real-world applicability of selected PBPK-guided dosing regimens. Patients were stratified according to Child-Pugh class (CP-A , CP-B, and CP-C) in case of sitagliptin and CP-A in duloxetine at doses corresponding to the closest commercially available strengths to Simcyp®-optimized doses. Clinical evaluation included glycemic parameters(HbA1C,fasting blood glucose,2-hr post prandial glucose level) and pain reduction. Routine laboratory investigations were conducted to assess efficacy and safety and included liver function tests (serum albumin, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\],and aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\]), kidney function tests (serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen \[BUN\]),and CBC.
