Preclinical PBPK Model Translated for Human Exposure Prediction
Learn how to optimize preclinical PBPK models for predicting human exposure and dosage regimens.
Optimizing Preclinical PBPK Models for Human Application
Translating PBPK Model to humans
- PBPK M&S was done using PKSIM (ver 8.4)
- Dogs PBPK Model was fit using the estimates measured for dog plasma
- Optimized Dog PBPK model was then translated to Humans
- Physicochemical parameters, Human hepatic clearance, hOAT3, hMATE-2K values were estimated in the LO phase and these values along with optimized values from Dog PBPK model were used
- Human renal clearance was assumed to be equal to 1
- Human PBPK Model was used to simulate the human PK profile following 450mg and 800mg BID & 300 and 600 mg TID dose
PBPK modeling of Dog PK data (Single dose 8.6mpk)
Predicted Human PK Profile (TID Dose) based on PBPK
Predicted Human PK Profile (BID Dose) based on PBPK
PBPK vs Model based Allomteric Scaling (AS)
- PBPK & Model based AS methods predicted Cmax was similar
- <20% variation in auc using both these methods, considering the fact that from pbpk model is 0-24 hr whereas as on attaining ss 0-24hr 20%>
- PBPK Model optimization in progress (CYP3A4 Vmax & Km, OAT-3/MATE-2K Vmax normalization

Frequently Asked Question?
Understanding Our Services Through Case Studies
How does Biopharmetrics optimize preclinical PBPK models for human application?
How does Biopharmetrics ensure the accuracy and reliability of predicted human pharmacokinetic profiles from preclinical PBPK models?
Biopharmetrics employs rigorous validation methods to ensure the accuracy and reliability of predicted human pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles derived from preclinical PBPK models. One key aspect is the comparison of predicted human PK profiles against observed data from clinical studies, providing empirical validation of model predictions. Furthermore, extensive sensitivity analyses are conducted to assess the impact of varying model parameters and assumptions on predicted outcomes, ensuring robustness across different scenarios. Additionally, Biopharmetrics compares predictions generated using PBPK modeling against those obtained through other established methodologies like model-based allometric scaling (AS). This thorough validation process ensures that predicted PK profiles accurately reflect human physiological responses, enabling informed decision-making in drug development and dosage optimization.
How does Biopharmetrics leverage PBPK modeling to facilitate decision-making in drug development and dosage optimization?
Biopharmetrics leverages PBPK modeling as a powerful tool to facilitate decision-making in drug development and dosage optimization, enabling more informed and efficient processes. By integrating preclinical data and physiological knowledge into PBPK models, Biopharmetrics accurately predicts human exposure and pharmacokinetics, allowing for early identification of potential efficacy and safety concerns. These predictions aid in optimizing dosage regimens, guiding dose selection, and informing clinical trial design. Moreover, PBPK modeling enables virtual simulations of various dosing scenarios, facilitating the exploration of alternative formulations and administration schedules without the need for extensive and costly clinical trials. Overall, Biopharmetrics’ utilization of PBPK modeling enhances the efficiency and success rates of drug development programs, ultimately benefiting both patients and pharmaceutical companies.
Testimonials
Discover What Our Clients Have to Say
We had an outstanding experience working with Biopharmetrics. Their deep expertise in PBPK Modelling & Simulation was evident from the start of the mAb project. The Clinical Pharmacology consultancy support in clarifying queries from the Regulatory Agency and Principal Investigator of our upcoming trial was helpful. The team’s dedication to our project, attention to detail and strict adherence to our timelines helped us achieve our goals ahead of schedule. They worked closely as part of the regular project team and took utmost care in proposing any solutions. We appreciate their commitment and highly recommend Biopharmetrics for anyone seeking PBPK Services." - Battery Bio at Vial
We engaged Biopharmetrics for IVIVC services for our products and continue to work with them, they have been very proactive in proposing solutions like optimizing the dissolution profile, selecting bio-relevant dissolution media based on pilot bio results and shortlisting the pilot batches for pivotal BE studies. Their experience in using mathematical modelling tools ie IVIVC and PBPK for predictions has helped us immensely. They have been an integral part of R&D projects, working closely with CFT’s and aligning the deliverables as per our timelines. We recommend Biopharmetrics to others who are experiencing challenges in their formulation R&D
