Journal of Bioequivalence & Bioavailability
The role of modeling and simulations to better understand, optimize and predict Bioequivalence

Murray P. Ducharme

Scientific Tracks Abstracts: JBB

Abstract:

M odeling and simulations have arguably revolutionized the fi eld of clinical pharmacology, enabling clinicians, academicians and regulators to better understand the effi cacy and toxicity of drugs by linking their relationship with exposure metrics. Virtually all new drug submissions nowadays incorporate a modeling and simulation component. In contrast, modeling and simulations are oft en misunderstood and severely underutilized in the bioequivalence fi eld. Th is presentation will review the types of studies, specifi c pharmacokinetic behavior and circumstances in which modeling and simulations can help optimize bioequivalence programmes. Case examples will be shown for drugs with atypical characteristics or specifi c formulations where modeling and simulations can actually optimize the drug development process by predicting or proving bioequivalence using novel methods in a more robust scientifi c manner while decreasing the number or complexity of the clinical studies.
