Delays in PKPD
ICON plc. April 12th 2019, Columbia, Maryland, USA
Modeling Delays in Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
The course will provide an overview of biological systems exhibiting delays, concepts of lifespan driven pharmacodynamic response, modeling of cell maturation, and nonlinear mixed effect lifespan models. Delay differential equations (DDEs) will be introduced and implemented in NONMEM pre-release version 7.5. The course will consist of both lectures and hands-on computer exercises. Source codes for DDE based PK/PD models and data will be provided to the participants.
