Certara UK Limited is running a Simcyp hands-on workshop discussing the changes to pharmacokinetics during pregnancy and the prediction of pharmacokinetics (including in the milk) during lactation. Population based Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) approach will be utilized to describe the pharmacokinetics during pregnancy and lactation and to determine population variability. The major topics covered are: Maternal and fetal gestational age-dependent physiological changes Prediction of maternal and fetal drug pharmacokinetics Ways of incorporating ex vivo experimental data on transplacental kinetics within the PBPK model Handling gestational age-varying covariates during simulation Prediction of PK in breastfeeding mothers and milk exposure using lactation models Prediction of infant dose for breastfed infant This course will be run using the Amazon Workspaces in Cloud; please ensure you have access to a computer.   Live Online Courses There are no refunds for Live Online courses.  Certara retains the right to cancel the course 30 calendar days before the first session, in which case participants will receive a full refund.

November 11-15, 2024 | ONLINE Predicting age related changes to pharmacokinetics (PK) and drug-drug interactions including associated variability—linking this information to drug response in the pediatric population. Participants will learn how PK behavior can be modeled in preterm and term neonates, infants, and children and how it can be linked to predict the drug response (PD) within the PBPK platform. Hands-on exercises explore how this valuable information is relevant to early and informed decisions to assist in the improved design of pediatric clinical studies.

November 11-15, 2024 | ONLINE The ABC of modelling drug transporter data: Mechanistic approaches to predict the impact of drug transport proteins on ADME, Pharmacokinetics, and Toxicity Overview: This course provides a dynamic mixture of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on exercises providing a wide-array of theory and practical know how. Live demonstrations of the simulation platforms essential for consideration in developing PBPK models with transporters are given, which will facilitate the attendees learning, driven through hands-on sessions to be attempted remotely. The hands-on sessions will be re-visited the following day with the tutors providing guidance, troubleshooting tips and facilitating interactive Q&A on the exercises.

From Discovery to First-in-human (FIH) Using IVIVE-PBPK Modeling In this focused workshop you will use the dynamic models within the Simcyp Discovery Simulator to prioritise compounds for progress to the next stage of development using information available in early drug discovery. You will use information on clearance, absorption, tissue distribution and DDI liability to inform compound selection. Finally, from the originally large database, only a few compounds will be selected for FIH and the simulation results compared with available clinical data. The case studies will cover various elements of model development including absorption, distribution and elimination. Optimal in vitro and clinical data sets will be discussed. Participants will learn how to choose the most suitable models and also investigate the impact of various relevant assumptions on model performance. Requirements for regulatory submissions will also be discussed. It is assumed that the participants have some familiarity with the fundamentals of PBPK modeling and have hands-on experience.
