Intensive course: 'Concepts and Applications of Predicting ADME, Pharmacokinetics and Population Variability' - Princeton, NJ, USA

Simcyp, the leader in mechanistic *in vitro* *in vivo* extrapolation (IVIVE) of pharmacokinetics invites you to register for the well-established and renowned: *Intensive course: Concepts and Applications of Predicting ADME, Pharmacokinetics and Population Variability * *17th 21st May 2010* *Princeton, New Jersey, USA* The course is comprised of lectures, delivered by leading experts in each field of ADME, interspersed with interactive workshops centred around practical examples demonstrating how *in vitro *data generated during drug development can be used to predict: - Metabolic drug clearance (CL) - Metabolic drug-drug interactions (DDIs) - Gut first-pass metabolism - Oral drug absorption incorporating food effects and the impact of dosage form - Effect of transporters and enterohepatic recirculation on kinetics - Drug distribution to different organs - Population variability in drug concentration-time profiles - Variation in kinetics in specific populations (paediatrics, ethnic groups, various disease populations) - Time-course of drug in plasma that fits observed clinical data (achieved using fitting modules within physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models combined with drug specific in *vitro*information) The main emphasis is on using data generated in pre-clinical stages to understand the kinetic behaviour of drugs in various target populations. This informs decisions on the conduct and optimal design of clinical studies with the ultimate aim of improving the quality of submissions for regulatory approval. The complete course runs from 17th 21st May at the Nassau Inn, Princeton, NJ. Delegates may also choose to register for part of the course: *Part I: *17th 19th May 2010 *Part II: *19th 21st May 2010 For further information and registration details, please visit our website at: http://www.simcyp.com/ProductServices/Workshops/20100517_New_Jersey.htm?p=1 Regards Masoud
