AAPS Workshop on Quantitative Pharmacology: A Roadmap for Rational, Model-based Drug Development
November 10, 2007
San Diego Convention Center
San Diego, CA
ACPE #073-999-07-590-L04
Background Information
Quantitative pharmacology constitutes a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates the relationships between disease, drug characteristics, and individual variability (getting the right drug to the right patient at the right dose and time). At its core, quantitative pharmacology uses model-based drug development to provide a quantitative, data-driven framework that enables rationale decision making in preclinical and clinical drug development. Quantitative pharmacology can be viewed as a cornerstone of the critical path initiative promoted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Goals and Objectives
During the course of this workshop we will
- Introduce the concept of quantitative pharmacology to the audience;
- Provide examples of the challenges and opportunities for quantitative pharmacology within the framework of industrial and academic drug development efforts;
- Provide insights into the role of quantitative pharmacology in regulatory and translational sciences;
- Illustrate the benefit (and limitations) of the application of quantitative pharmacology and outline its role in critical decision making; and
- Introduce strategies to overcome challenges associated with the implementation of quantitative pharmacology, including silo-structures, interdisciplinary communication and decision-making infrastructure.

Section III - Communicating in a Model-based Drug Development Paradigm
Interactive Case Studies in Clinical Drug Development
Two interactive case studies (one in early development and one in late stage clinical development) will be discussed in an interactive-lecture type format to highlight the need for enhanced inter-disciplinary understanding and more effective communication among clinicians, statisticians, clinical pharmacologists and modelers. Principles behind flexible trial design strategies and cost-effective yet efficient analytical methodologies will be briefly reviewed. Participants will be provided two drug development problems along with a number of potential solutions and asked to brainstorm in smaller groups of cross-functional members and provide their recommendations. Results, thought processes, perspectives, language/"lingo" used will be summarized. Finally, concepts applicable to those specific examples and in general will be summarized.
