• Parellelization in modeling (Ep. 29)
    Jul 8 2024

    This episode covered parallelization in modeling analyses. I spoke about across model parallelization and within model parallelization. I recommended some approaches for choosing how many cores to use in parallelization and also discussed different modeling computer systems you can use.

  • Residual errors and submission packages (Ep. 28)
    Jun 24 2024

    Today I covered 2 different topics. First, I spoke about residual error models when modeling. I discussed additive, proportional, and power models. I also reviewed combined models and when they can be helpful. Then I spoke about modeling report submission packages. I explained what I put in those packages, how they are used, and some potential changes coming in the future.

  • Simulations (Ep. 27)
    Jun 10 2024

    This episode discusses simulations. I group simulations into 4 categories: (1) average response, (2) population, (3) individual, and (4) clinical trial simulations. I discuss details of each of these types of simulations and the different variability terms included in each one. I strongly recommend that we implement more clinical trial simulations in our work. This will help us design and execute more successful clinical trials that take advantage of our existing knowledge about a drug. Enjoy the show and connect with me using the links below if you have any questions.

  • Different work environments (Ep. 26)
    May 27 2024

    Today’s show is about different work environments and not scientific topics. Throughout my career I have worked in many different types of companies, and I would like to share some observations with you from those experiences. I have held positions at startup companies or small biotechnology companies, large pharmaceutical companies, contract research laboratories, consulting firms, and working for myself as a consultant, and now as a software developer. Although my work has been focused on clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics, the jobs and work environments are very different.

  • Biosimilar products (Ep. 25)
    May 13 2024

    Today’s show discussed biosimilar development from a clinical pharmacology perspective. I describe what biosimilar products are and the necessary comparisons to the reference product. I review requirements for PK similarity, PD similarity, immunogenicity, and safety. I also touch on the idea of interchangeability between the biosimilar and reference products.

  • Choosing an absorption model (Ep. 24)
    Apr 22 2024

    Today’s show discussed approaches for modeling absorption profiles. I discussed the rationale behind modeling absorption and then described some common models. These included first-order absorption, zero-order absorption, transit compartments, distributed delay, Weibull, and zero/first order absorption. I also provided my recommendations on how to model absorption.

  • Big announcement and Hepatic impairment studies (Ep. 22)
    Mar 25 2024

    Today’s show is about hepatic impairment clinical studies. I cover the rationale behind evaluating hepatic impairment, common study designs, and key factors in the analysis and interpretation of the study results. I also share a huge announcement about Aplos NCA, a cloud-based solution for calculating NCA PK parameters. Use the link below to learn more about Aplos NCA.
