Pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) play a key role in drug development, and a good understanding of the implications of PK/PD data is crucial when designing clinical trials or preparing a drug submission dossier. PK is the study of how a drug moves through the body, while PD is the study of how a drug affects the body. Together, these two disciplines help scientists understand how a drug works in the body and how to optimize its effects. PK and PD are important in all stages of drug development, from early discovery through clinical trials to commercialization. In early discovery, PK and PD can help scientists choose the right compound to develop into a drug. In clinical trials, PK and PD can help researchers understand how a drug works in people and identify any side effects. And in commercialization, PK and PD can help pharmaceutical companies optimize dosing and ensure that patients get the most benefit from their medication.
As a professional working with PK/PD data on a regular basis, you must have a solid understanding of the topic to communicate effectively with the development teams - a daunting and challenging task, due to the breadth and complexity of the topic area.
The Fundamentals of Pharmacokinetics Masterclass assumes no prior PK knowledge and aims to give you a broad understanding of this fascinating subject, using multiple case studies and relevant examples. You will learn what pharmacokinetics involves, what data is collected, and its impact on the drug development process. By learning these skills, you will be able to understand, communicate, and challenge the data presented to you.
