2-Day OSP Suite Workshop

esqLABS is running a two-day hands-on PK-Sim® & MoBi® workshop on PBPK and PBPK-based QSP on Saturday and Sunday 16th and 17th of March 2019 (post ASCPT) at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, MD.

PK-Sim® & MoBi® workshop on PBPK and PBPK-based QSP

 

esqLABS, in collaboration with the University of Maryland, is running a two-day hands-on PK-Sim® & MoBi® workshop on PBPK and PBPK-based QSP on Saturday and Sunday 16th and 17th of March 2019 (post ASCPT) at the University of Maryland (Pharmacy Hall, 20 N Pine St, Baltimore, MD 21201). The workshop covers the basics of PBPK and concepts and application of combining PK-Sim, MoBi and R to build your very own digital platforms for the prediction of clinical trial outcomes by leveraging physiological and mechanistic knowledge to translate early in-vitro and preclinical outcomes to the clinic. During hands-on exercises you will learn how to:

  • Build a PBPK model in PK-Sim and compare to observed data
  • Learn how to consider age-dependency in drug PK in PK-Sim (Pediatrics and Geriatrics)
  •  Conduct population simulations in PK-Sim and MoBi
  • Learn how to model drug-drug interactions in PK-Sim (DDI)
  • Integrate mechanism-based pharmacodynamics in MoBi
  • Conduct parameter identifications in PK-Sim and MoBi
  •  Simulate and analyze your PB-QSP model in R

This workshop will be held by the consultants and scientists from esqlabs GmbH with extensive experience in the use of PK-Sim® & MoBi® in all application areas.

While the workshop does not require any prior experience with PK-Sim® & MoBi®, most topics will be of interest even for advanced users.

REGISTRATION

To register for the workshop, please visit EventBrite.

The workshop is currently restricted to 15 participants.

Registration includes coffee- and lunch breaks.

AGENDA

As use-cases for above learnings, we will develop PBPK models for small molecules and biologics and a PB-QSP model for naked antibody pre-treatment (nAb) for antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) treatment of tumor growth, in detail:
