<strong>Pharmaceutical</strong> R&D can benefit greatly from<br />

adopting important advances in discrete event<br />

M&S methods, which have occurred within the<br />

past decade. The time is ripe to begin exploring the<br />

insights that can be achieved using these methods;<br />

they provide capabilities beyond those <strong>of</strong> traditional<br />

analytical, inductive, equation-based PK and PD<br />

modeling and simulation (M&S) methods. These<br />

new M&S methods make it easier to instantiate<br />

increasingly realistic, multi-level, multi-scale, multiattribute,<br />

adaptable, and extensible models relevant<br />

to pharmaceutical R&D. The models are suitable for<br />

use in research and in testing hypotheses about the<br />

pharmacological and toxicological mechanisms that<br />

are relevant to pharmaceutical R&D. This symposium<br />

will provide the audience an overview <strong>of</strong> these<br />

new methods. Presentations will draw on specific,<br />

pharmaceutically relevant models. Because the<br />

new methods are intended to be synergistic<br />

with traditional PK/PD M&S methods, the new<br />

and traditional methods will be compared<br />

and contrasted.<br />

TUESDAY SUNRISE SESSIONS<br />

7:00 am – 8:15 am<br />

The Blood Brain Barrier<br />

Sunrise Session<br />

Pharmacokinetic assessment in early drug discovery<br />

is now a commonly accepted approach to increase<br />

the chances <strong>of</strong> identifying candidates with suitable<br />

properties for further development. For CNS<br />

therapeutics, there is the additional requirement<br />

<strong>of</strong> blood brain barrier (BBB) penetration and brain<br />

localization. Several tools, both old and new, are<br />

being applied to guide drug design and medicinal<br />

chemistry to increase brain penetration. This<br />

sunrise session will contain presentations about<br />

in silico prediction tools for BBB, discuss in vitro<br />

models <strong>of</strong> the BBB, and present a case study <strong>of</strong> BBB<br />

enhancements in drug discovery.<br />

The Story <strong>of</strong> the Three Bears: Too Big,<br />

Too Small, Just Right! Size Issues in Drug<br />

Development<br />

Sunrise Session<br />

Determining the most appropriate dose for a new<br />

pharmaceutical one must take into account two<br />

different perspectives the patient and the drug.<br />

Patients come in a variety <strong>of</strong> sizes and drugs vary<br />

in their therapeutic range, and the necessity to<br />

customize the dose for individual patients. Healthy<br />

volunteers participating in phase 1 studies are<br />

usually within 15% <strong>of</strong> ideal body weight. Subjects<br />

participating in phase 2 and 3 trials are also<br />

usually within a reasonably narrow range <strong>of</strong> weight,<br />

compared to the people who will eventually be<br />

treated including premature neonates (0.5kg) to the<br />

very obese (200 kg+). How can adequate information<br />

be collected during drug development on the best<br />

way to dose patients who are either much smaller<br />

than average, or much larger than average to avoid<br />

increased incidence <strong>of</strong> adverse events or inadequate<br />

treatment? Some medications are prescribed in<br />

‘flat’ doses expressed in mg for example, while<br />

others are dosed on a mg/m2 or mg/kg basis.<br />

When is it appropriate to do either? Biologics have<br />

conventionally been doses by weight, as have drugs<br />

used to treat cancer, yet in some cases, normalizing<br />

for size increases variability and potential for<br />

dose administration error. What factors should be<br />

considered in developing dosing recommendations?<br />

At the end <strong>of</strong> the session participants will be able<br />

to describe the different ways that size is described<br />

(ideal body weight, actual body weight, lean body<br />

weight, fat free mass, dry weight, body surface area,<br />

body mass index, growth charts), list the data/<br />

conventions upon which dosing per kg and dosing<br />

per m2 is based, become familiar with study design<br />

and analysis methods to determine if dosing needs<br />

to be adjusted for size, and describe the potential<br />

impact <strong>of</strong> over and underdosing on patient outcome.<br />
