Abstract:
Many clinical trials use complex disease activity scores to assess patient
response, and the connections between biological components and these scores
are often unclear. We explore how QSP modeling supports elucidation of disease
pathophysiology and better-informed extrapolation between biological components
and disease scores to facilitate prediction of clinical outcomes. Disease
scores can be modeled by (1) identifying the components of each disease
activity score, (2) formulating a biological rationale for associating specific
biomarkers with each score component, and (3) calibrating the proposed function
using clinical data from existing therapies. QSP models are valuable tools to
integrate existing mechanistic and clinical data. The ability to integrate and
generate plausible predictions of standard clinical disease scores in response
to novel interventions improves the clinical acceptance and usability of QSP
models.
