Workshop: PBPK Modeling for First-in-Human & DDI with OSP Suite

Do you want to increase your capabilities to support decision making in drug development with PBPK? This workshop will teach how to use and leverage the Open Systems Pharmacology (OSP) suite (also known as PK-Sim® and MoBi®) for translational modeling to inform First-in-Human and Drug-Drug interactions (DDI) in the context of recent ICH M12 and ICH M15. Join this interactive course on June 2-3 in connection to PAGE 2025.

Satellite meeting overview

Workshop in connection to PAGE 2025 – Thessaloniki, Greece

Join us for an interactive two-day workshop where you will gain hands-on experience with physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling using the well-established whole-body PBPK model in PK-Sim® and the open modeling capabilities of MoBi®. Learn how to apply PBPK modeling to First-in-Human (FIH) studies and Drug-Drug Interactions (DDI), with training aligned to ICH M12 and ICH M15 guidelines. This workshop provides practical, hands-on exercises to ensure you can effectively use PK-Sim® and MoBi® in real-world scenarios.

Audience

This workshop is designed for scientists with a modeling background and a basic understanding of the drug development process. Attendees should bring a laptop to participate in hands-on activities.

Learning objective

The goal is to give participants a solid foundation to use  PK-Sim® and MoBi® to inform First-in-Human and DDI study designs and derive recommendations towards DDI risk. This workshop will showcase how PK-Sim and MoBi handle complex DDIs, ie. the ones requiring flexibility in standard implementation to adapt to the case.
