Simulation forDesigning Clinical Trials:A Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Modeling Per-spective,acceptance and application of clinical trials modeling and simulation(M&S)in drug development and regulation have greatly expanded.Biopharmaceu-tical companies have employed M&S in all phases of drug development to achievegreater efficiency and dosage optimization.The food and Drug Administrations(FDA)visionary 2004 Critical Path Initiative highlighted clinical trial simulations(CTS)in“model based drug development”to facilitate efficient development.Inthe meantime,FDA and the European Medicines Agency have encouraged use ofCTS via regulatory guidances,and have employed M&S for labeling and approvaldecisions.On the backdrop of these developments,the title of this edition has beenchosen to reflect how CTS is being employed in drug development and regulation,and trends for expanded applications in the future.This edition includes updates,new uses,and issues concerning CTS,along withcasestudiesonhowclinicaltrialsimulationsarebeingappliedinvarioustherapeuticandapplicationareas.Importantly,thebookexpandsontheuseofCTSforinformingdecisions during drug development and regulatory review.Each chapter author wasselectedonthebasisofdemonstratedexpertiseinstate-of-the-artapplicationofCTS.Editors opinions on advances and impactful trends of CTS in model-based drugdevelopment and regulation are introduced(Chap.1).Regulatory agencies havebeen proactive in promoting use of CTS,and Chaps.2 and 3 present the perspec-tives and experiences of FDA and European regulatory agencies by the authorsworking in these agencies.Methods to facilitate decision making in drug development are discussed bypointing out the importance of assessing uncertainty of predicted trial performanceand outcomes in planning of prospective trials(Chap.4).For quantitative decision-making,constructing clinical utility curves(Chap.5)can be useful.Adaptive trialdesign has gained attention as a method for more efficient and informative drugdevelopment,and its current status is reviewed in Chap.6.Chapter 7 illustrates anM&S application case where personnel from biostatistics,clinical research andclinical PK-PD could collaborate to make better informed decisions on trial designsvthroughout a clinical development.Chapter 8 illustrates how preclinical data can beintegrated in a model-based drug development program to optimize early stagedevelopment,using CTS to simulate a first-in-human study.Many successful cases employing CTS in guiding drug development decisionshave been published in the literature and presented at conferences.Representativecases in selected therapeutic areas provide a general background on how to benefi-cially employ CTS,followed by the authors experiences.Applications of CTS ineight therapeutic areas(Chaps.9 16)are covered:diabetes,cardiovascular dis-eases,viral infections,antimicrobial chemotherapy,cancer,hematology,anxietydisorder,and epilepsy.Chapter 17 discusses how CTS can be used in therapeutic biologics develop-ment.Designing ethical and informative pediatric studies requires integrating allavailable information,while gaining pediatric specific knowledge from a limitednumber of observations.The factors to consider in using CTS for pediatrics studiesare described in Chap.18.The final section of the book includes chapters that describe evolving methodol-ogies in CTS.The importance of incorporation of disease progression elements inCTS models is emphasized,especially when the evolution of disease during a trialis considered in evaluating treatment effects attributable to the drug(Chap.19).The systems biology approach incorporates high resolution mechanistic models,involving fundamental dynamics of cells and biological signaling systems.Usingsuch models,predictions of clinical responses may ultimately be made by simula-tions(Chap.20).Recent advances in in vitro,ex vivo,and in silico methods toprovide input variable information have significantly increased the applicability ofthe traditional whole-body physiology-based pharmacokinetic modeling approach,and its practical implementation is reviewed in the Chap.21.Simulating drugresponses in a virtual patient population and how to collect and utilize datasetsfor construction of covariate distribution models are presented(Chap.22).Thetargetaudienceforthisvolume,ClinicalTrialSimulationsincludesresearch-ers and scientists who wish to consider use of simulations in the design,analysis,orregulatory review and guidance of clinical trials.This book does not embrace allaspects of trial design,nor is it intended as a complete recipe for using computers todesign trials.Rather,it is an information source that enables the reader to gainunderstanding of essential background and knowledge for practical applications ofsimulation for clinical trial design and analysis.It is assumed that the reader has aworking understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics,modeling,pharmacometric analyses,and the drug development and regulatory processes.We express our sincere gratitude to all the authors who have contributed to thisbook.Many thanks go to the Springer publication team.Lastly,on behalf of all thecontributors of this book,we appreciate the readers interest in the application ofclinical trial simulations in order to improve the way we develop useful drugs.Raritan,NJHolly H.C.KimkoSan Francisco,CACarl C.PeckviPrefaceContents1Clinical
