Mechanistic Modeling in Clinical Development
Speaker
John M. Burke, PhD, Co-founder, President and CEO at Applied BioMath
Summary
In the final episode of this three-part GENcast series, we discuss the virtues of mechanistic modeling and how it can significantly impact critical decision-making points in the drug discovery process, an especially critical step as drug developers move closer to IND. Dr. John Burke, President, CEO, and Co-founder of Applied BioMath, discusses the specific applications of mechanistic modeling, including decision-making for first human dose numbers.
- What is the role of mechanistic modeling in determining first-in-human starting doses, and how does it relate to traditional approaches like NOAEL and MABEL?
- How do you guide customers through the process of selecting a first-in-human starting dose using mechanistic modeling?
- What happens after a company files its IND (Investigational New Drug application), and how does mechanistic modeling come into play in the clinical trial phase?
- How does uncertainty and variability impact the design of clinical trials in the context of mechanistic modeling?
- Is there a situation where companies might opt for a different approach later in the drug development pipeline, rather than mechanistic modeling?
