Company Information
PKPD Incorporated is a specialized
Clinical Pharmacology a
nd Pharmacometric Research
and Development Organization, providing advanced
pharmacokinetic data analysis services to the pharmaceutical
and biotechnology industry.
PKPD utilizes cutting edge, computer-based
drug modeling and clinical trial simulation techniques
to develop optimized dosing regimens during pre-clinical
and clinical drug development.
PKPD builds models to link drug
exposure (pharmacokinetics, PK) with drug
response (pharmacodynamics, PD) and then
integrates into the model estimates of patient variability.
With these models PKPD is able to conduct advanced
clinical trial simulations to predict the
likely safety and efficacy of a given dose or dosing
regimen. This approach enables “what-if”
scenario’s to be conducted with multiple clinical
trial designs thereby facilitating the design and
selection of the optimal dosing regimen for Phase
II (proof of concept) and Phase III (registration)
studies.
Drug modeling and simulation has
been recognized by the FDA as a “critical
path” enabling technology that assists pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies in the selection of safe
and effective dosing regimens for late stage clinical
development and registration. The approach minimizes
the costly risk of failure inherent in conventional,
empirical dose selection techniques and provides an
expedited route to approval through rational dose
selection and efficient clinical trial design. This
innovative and rational approach to drug
development assists companies to more rapidly and
safely advance new medicines to the marketplace for
an earlier return on investment. PKPD Incorporated
also provides consultancy services in drug metabolism,
drug-drug interactions, ADME, toxicology/toxicokinetics,
special patient population analyses, and pre-clinical/clinical
pharmacology study designs from IND to NDA.
