Workshop: An introduction to probabilistic decisions support in drug development
Do you want to improve decision making in drug development? This workshop aims to introduce how Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) principles can be applied to facilitate probability-based decision making in drug development. Join this 1 day workshop led by Pharmetheus’ experts and held on Sunday 5th of November 2023 in connection to ACoP14, Washington DC, US.
Workshop overview
This workshop aims to introduce how Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) principles can be applied to facilitate probability-based decision making in drug development. For example, “what this the probability that this drug candidate will meet the defined target product characteristics” or “what is the probability that a particular study design for asset X will be able to demonstrate superiority vs a comparator”.
Workshop learning objectives
By the end of the workshop, the participant will know how:
- How MIDD approaches can be applied to facilitate probability-based decision making in drug development
- The difference between power and assurance
- The importance of adequate characterization and simulation of variability and uncertainty
- Key factors to consider for clinical trial simulations
- The importance of accurate and effective communication of decision support
Workshop target audience
The target audience are scientists with a modelling and/or statistics background and a basic understanding of the overall drug development process.
Workshop description
This workshop aims to introduce how Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) principles can be applied to facilitate probability-based decision making in drug development. The workshop will introduce a number of relevant concepts such as; power, assurance, probability of pharmacological success (PoPS), probability of technical success (PTS), probability of technical and regulatory success (PTRS) etc. Furthermore, the workshop will highlight important requirements for the basis of such probability predictions incl. fit-for-purpose models, clinical trial simulation methodology etc. In addition to basic theory with regards to these topics the workshop will include practical recommendations on application and efficient communication of MIDD approaches from tutors with extensive experience in this area.
