Pre-meeting Workshop: Physiologically-based Pharmacokinetic Analyses: A Workshop on Practical Applications in Clinical Drug Development
This full-day workshop will be held on Saturday and will be valuable for beginner to intermediate level PBPK users, and those seeking updated information on current topics in PBPK modeling.
Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation is a computer modeling approach that is widely used throughout clinical drug development to describe the PK properties of a drug and to assess intrinsic and extrinsic factors that may impact a drug’s PK properties. This full-day Workshop will focus on the current scientific aspects and considerations to apply PBPK modeling in clinical drug development, including advances in the software utilized for this type of modeling. Attendees will learn how PBPK modeling can be used to facilitate decision making and inform more efficient clinical study design. It offers attendees the opportunity to learn through real-world case examples of direct application of PBPK modeling in drug development, as well as active hands-on learning to run PBPK models. In addition, regulatory perspectives on the use of PBPK modeling to support new drug applications will be presented and discussed.
