Reminder: Dr. Holford's webinar next week

Clinical Pharmacology = Disease Progression + Drug Action by Nick Holford, MBChB University of Auckland, New Zealand September 19, 2011 3:30 - 4:30 pm EDT This is a reminder that Dr. Holford's webinar Clinical Pharmacology = Disease Progression + Drug Action will take place on September 19, 2011 at 3:30 pm EDT (GMT -5:00). Dr. Holford’s talk will focus on modeling in clinical pharmacology. Like many disciplines, clinical pharmacology can be viewed from several perspectives. In the context of a clinical trial of a therapeutic agent, clinical pharmacology provides a conceptual framework for relating drug treatment to responses and differentiating possible mechanisms of action. Disease progression refers to the evolution of a disease over time. It typically implies worsening of the disease (but also may include spontaneous recovery). Disease progress on the other hand is a description of the disease and its response to treatment. In the context of simulation and modeling, it is useful to think of clinical pharmacology as a model itself, i.e., the combination of disease progression and drug action. The purpose of the “Impact” series is to foster the use of M&S activities in all phases of drug development by illustrating the advantages and enhancing the applicability of M&S in product discovery, development, and marketing programs. The series is intended for drug development project team members from discovery to phase 4 clinical trials. This includes pharmacologists, ADME scientists, PK/PD modelers, clinical pharmacologists, clinical development team members, regulatory affairs specialists, and other interested professionals.
