Oral progesterone-mediated attenuation of ibutilide-induced qt interval lengthening in premenopausal and postmenopausal women: population pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic model.

Presented at ASCPT Annual Meeting 2024. Our model adequately characterized ibutilide PK and its QT interval lengthening effect. The higher Emax suggests more ibutilide induced QT lengthening in premenopausal women. The difference of Emax between group A and B reflects potential progesterone effect.

Exposure–efficacy relationship of vedolizumab subcutaneous and intravenous formulations in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis

This posthoc analysis of the GEMINI and VISIBLE studies in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD) assessed exposure−efficacy of vedolizumab intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC).

Confounded exposure metrics

Exposure-response (E-R) modeling frequently relies on the use of exposure metrics that summarize drug concentrations over time. This research presents simulations to demonstrate that certain commonly used exposure metrics, including average concentration up to an event time, are likely to lead to causal confounding under the very conditions that motivate their use.

Connecting ISoP with Statisticians: An Introduction to the Biopharmaceutical Section of the American Statistical Association

Presented at ACoP14. The American Statistical Association (ASA) comprises regional chapters and specialized sections, including the Biopharmaceutical Section (BIOP), established in 1981. BIOP focuses on applying statistics to drug development, biologics, devices, and related technologies in humans and animals. Initially created to connect ISoP and ASA, SxP employs innovative statistical methods to address similar inquiries, despite using distinct terminologies and assumptions in modeling. This poster offers insight into BIOP’s history, objectives, organization, and avenues for involvement or contacting its members.

Training the next generation of pharmacometric modelers: a multisector perspective
