Abstract
Lack of predictability of clinical efficacy and safety is an important problem facing pharmaceutical research today. Translational PK-PD has the ability to integrate data generated from diverse test platforms during discovery and development in a mechanistic framework. Therefore, successful implementation of translational PK-PD modelling and simulation early in the development cycle could have a substantial impact on overall efficiency and success of pharmaceutical research. Three case studies are presented, which outline successful implementation of the translational PK-PD methodology in the rational development of biotherapeutics across various stages of discovery and development. Emerging developments within the field are also discussed.Mesh:
